This document compares Western and Ayurvedic approaches to treating post-traumatic stress disorder caused by motor vehicle accidents. It summarizes research on cognitive behavioral therapy and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy, finding the latter more effective. It also discusses Ayurvedic treatments focusing on balancing vata dosha. The ideal treatment would combine EMDR therapy with panchakarma cleansing treatments and regular yoga practices tailored to each individual.
Introduction to Mindfulness for Stress Reduction
Mindfulness originated as a spiritual practice in ancient traditions. It was introduced into medicine in the 1970s by Jon Kabat-Zinn through his Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction program at UMass Medical Center. Mindfulness involves paying attention to the present moment in a non-judgmental way. Research shows mindfulness can reduce stress, anxiety, depression and improve well-being by decreasing worrying and mindless mistakes while increasing appreciation of the present. It has been incorporated into various evidence-based therapies and has positive effects on the brain and body.
Managemen komprehensif nyeri
This document discusses various psychological approaches for managing chronic pain, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), relaxation techniques, biofeedback, hypnosis, and motivational interviewing. It notes that CBT is the most common approach and aims to change maladaptive thoughts and behaviors. Relaxation methods like meditation, guided imagery, and biofeedback teach patients to control physiological processes linked to pain. The evidence for different approaches is reviewed, with hypnosis found most useful for acute rather than chronic pain. A conclusion drawn is that multidisciplinary programs combining several treatment components from a collaborative team are most effective for improving chronic pain outcomes.

This study investigated the effects of depression and stress on cognitive functioning. The hypothesis was that individuals suffering from depression would have more impaired cognitive function than non-depressed individuals due to the effects of stress from depression. Participants completed cognitive tests and MRIs to examine brain activity and hippocampal volume. Results showed depressed individuals had worse memory and differences in brain activity compared to healthy participants, supporting the hypothesis that depression is associated with cognitive impairments from stress and changes in brain structure.

Transformative Moments- Short Stories from the Biodynamic Psychotherapy Room
This document summarizes key aspects of biodynamic psychotherapy and massage. It discusses how the biodynamic therapist receives feedback from the client's autonomous nervous system, objective observations of the body, and the client's reported sensations to guide treatment in real-time. The therapist aims to support the client's self-healing abilities by responding attunedly to changes in both client and therapist. A case study of a client, "Lily", is discussed, whose various pains represented conflicts between different parts of herself not in communication. The therapist aims to understand such conflicts retained in the body and mind.

This article discusses biodynamic psychotherapy and biodynamic massage. It provides details on a case study of a client, Lily, who received biodynamic massage from a student, Roy. The massage involved working on different parts of Lily's body using various touch methods. In a discussion after the session, questions were raised about combining different touch methods. The author then analyzes Lily's case further, making assumptions about retained conflicts in her body and mind based on her reported pains and tensions in different areas. The author suggests Lily's shoulders may be bearing a burden that other parts of her body are not sharing, representing different parts of her that do not communicate.

Neuro-reconnection
The document discusses how continuous meditation and psychotherapy can lead to physical and mental health benefits by changing brain structure and function. Specifically, it is proposed that regular practice of these activities can thicken areas of the brain associated with complex thinking and emotions. This is termed "neuro-reconnection", where mental practices literally reconnect neural pathways in a way that improves well-being and quality of life. While more research is needed using brain imaging tools, the author argues that religious practices may also fall under the umbrella of neuro-reconnection by similarly altering the brain over time.

Mental fitness provides cognitive benefits like better control over one's thoughts, emotions, and actions, allowing for goal achievement. Research studies found that healing touch reduced stress in students and helped depression symptoms decrease faster. Exercises like visualizing a goal while maintaining positive emotions can strengthen mental focus. Maintaining overall wellness involves healthy habits like exercise, nutrition, meditation, therapy, and social support. Both physical and mental fitness are important for sustaining health and happiness.
Powerpoint
The document summarizes research on the use of meditation in therapy. It discusses how meditation can positively impact those with mental illness both physically and mentally by helping to reduce stress, anxiety and tension. It reviews three studies that showed how meditation can increase control over brain functions, build hope and a sense of support in those with spiritual experiences, and that patients and doctors recognize the importance of spiritual elements like meditation in healing. It concludes that meditation can be beneficial for those with mental illnesses by helping to make their lives more fulfilling.
Meditation
Meditation is a family of techniques that involve focusing the mind without dwelling on discursive thoughts. There are two main types: concentrative meditation focuses on a repetitive object, while mindfulness meditation develops awareness without judgment. Regular meditation practice has been shown to have cognitive benefits like improved attention and memory, as well as physiological effects like reduced blood pressure. It can also positively impact emotions, behavior, interpersonal relationships, and be used as a therapeutic technique in psychotherapy.
thesis presentation
Stimulant medication is the most common treatment for ADD/ADHD, but about 60-65% of cases persist into adulthood. Short-acting stimulants have the highest abuse potential, with 46% of adults with ADHD using them and nearly 80% of patients abusing them. There is interest in alternative treatments due to concerns about side effects and stigma of behavioral therapy. Recent research has investigated brain training games to improve cognition, with some studies finding they can enhance memory, attention, and executive functions in both young and old. The proposed study will examine whether brain training games targeted at improving attention are effective for adults with ADD/ADHD by comparing pre- and post-training Stroop test attention scores between those

This research article examines whether a questionnaire measure of executive function (EF) can predict treatment outcomes for anxiety and depression following cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). 206 outpatients with major depression or an anxiety disorder completed the Revised Dysexecutive Questionnaire (DEX-R) to assess EF before undergoing group CBT. The DEX-R measures EF across factors of inhibition, volition, and social regulation. Higher DEX-R scores indicate greater executive dysfunction. Results showed that executive dysfunction predicted concurrent anxiety and depression symptoms after controlling for comorbidity. Specifically, inhibition predicted anxiety and volition predicted depression. Executive dysfunction also predicted post-treatment anxiety symptoms but not depression following CBT. The study concludes that EF deficits are associated
Draft sft
Strategic family therapy is a goal-oriented approach initiated by the therapist to address a family's presenting problem. It is based on concepts from communication theory and structural family therapy, focusing on patterns of verbal and nonverbal communication within a family system rather than individual inner conflicts. Key figures in developing strategic family therapy include members of the Palo Alto Group in the 1960s-1970s and therapists at the Brief Family Therapy/Mental Research Institute who were influenced by cybernetics and emphasized circular causality and feedback loops in problem formation and resolution.

The document summarizes three approaches to psychotherapy: psychodynamic therapy, behavioral therapy, and cognitive therapy. Psychodynamic therapy seeks to bring unconscious conflicts into conscious awareness to deal with problems like depression and anxiety. Behavioral therapy uses learning principles like reinforcement and extinction to treat learned behaviors related to anxiety disorders and phobias. Cognitive therapy aims to change thinking patterns using learning principles and is appropriate for anxiety, phobias, and depression.

The document summarizes a study that examined the effects of mindfulness meditation on working memory capacity, affect, and decision making ability. Sixteen stressed college students were randomly assigned to either a 30-day mindfulness meditation training program or a nature sounds control group. Measures of working memory capacity, positive affect, and decision making were taken before and after the 30 days. Results showed that the meditation group had significantly higher working memory capacity after training compared to controls. However, there were no significant effects on positive affect or decision making ability between the groups.
Paintronics presentation
The Neurophysiologic Pain Profile machine has been tested and approved by most major health insurers to more accurately assess patients' pain levels. It can reproduce clinical exam conditions to objectively measure pain parameters like severity and location, avoiding issues with subjective patient self-reporting and clinical interpretations that can lead to improper diagnoses and treatments. By determining the precise etiology of a patient's pain, it aims to guide more effective care tailored to the individual rather than incorrectly assuming psychological or malingering causes.

Om^2 Theory Rationale
OM2 Theory represents a meta-theory that integrates research from psychology, medicine, and sociology to understand what comprises individual happiness. It combines theories such as Plutchik's psychoevolutionary theory of emotions, Rogers' humanistic theory, and Greenberg's emotion-focused therapy to provide a simple, streamlined structure for experiencing consistent happiness. The theory proposes that awareness of one's thoughts, feelings, actions, and physiological responses, coupled with genuine, vulnerable connections with oneself and others, can overcome unnecessary suffering and induce true happiness. OM2 Theory aims to apply this integrative model through affordable health programs to help all people live happy, healthy lifestyles.

Yoga nidra, or "yogic sleep", is a mindfulness practice that involves guided relaxation and awareness of bodily sensations. It aims to reduce stress and increase well-being and performance. The document discusses how yoga nidra cultivates mindfulness by focusing attention on the breath and alternating awareness between different parts of the body. Research shows it can decrease stress symptoms and increase skills like attention regulation. A typical yoga nidra session involves settling the body, focused breathing, mental resolutions, and guided awareness practices. It is said to activate the prefrontal cortex and reduce stress in the limbic system by descripting emotions symbolically.

This systematic review identified 9 studies that assessed or manipulated patient expectancies regarding acupuncture treatment and related expectancies to health outcomes. The studies used heterogeneous methodologies, preventing meta-analysis. A descriptive review found that 5 studies reported statistically significant effects of expectancy on at least one outcome, with 3 also finding evidence suggestive of an interaction between expectancy and whether real or placebo acupuncture was received. While some trends were observed, conclusions are limited by the heterogeneity of study designs. Future research should further consider how best to assess or manipulate expectancies in this area.
Toward a theory of Motivational Interviewing
1) Motivational interviewing (MI) arose from research on therapist empathy that found empathy strongly predicted client drinking outcomes.
2) MI was then developed as a clinical method focused on differentially responding to client speech to evoke and strengthen their own motivations for change.
3) Research found that MI alone or added to other treatments significantly increased client abstinence and retention in treatment programs for substance use issues. However, outcomes have varied across populations and studies.

Guided Imagery and Progressive Muscle Relaxation in Group Psychotherapy
A majority of Americans experience stress in their daily lives (American Psychological
Association, 2017). Thus, an important goal of psychological research is to evaluate techniques
that promote stress reduction and relaxation. Two techniques that have been associated with
reduced stress and increased relaxation in psychotherapy contexts are guided imagery and
progressive muscle relaxation (McGuigan & Lehrer, 2007). Guided imagery aids individuals in
connecting their internal and external experiences, allowing them, for example, to feel calmer
externally because they practice thinking about calming imagery. Progressive muscle relaxation
involves diaphragmatic breathing and the tensing and releasing of 16 major muscle groups;
together these behaviors lead individuals to a more relaxed state (Jacobson, 1938; Trakhtenberg,
2008). Guided imagery and progressive muscle relaxation are both cognitive behavioral
techniques (Yalom & Leszcz, 2005) in which individuals focus on the relationship among
thoughts, emotions, and behaviors (White, 2000).
Group psychotherapy effectively promotes positive treatment outcomes in patients in a
cost-effective way. Its efficacy is in part attributable to variables unique to the group experience
of therapy as compared with individual psychotherapy (Bottomley, 1996; Yalom & Leszcz,
2005). That is, the group format helps participants feel accepted and better understand their
common struggles; at the same time, interactions with group members provide social support and
models of positive behavior (Yalom & Leszcz, 2005). Thus, it is useful to examine how stress
reduction and relaxation can be enhanced in a group context.
The purpose of this literature review is to examine the research base on guided imagery
and progressive muscle relaxation in group psychotherapy contexts. I provide overviews of both
guided imagery and progressive muscle relaxation, including theoretical foundations and

historical context. Then I examine guided imagery and progressive muscle relaxation as used on
their own as well as in combination as part of group psychotherapy (see Baider et al., 1994, for
more). Throughout the review, I highlight themes in the research. Finally, I end by pointing out
limitations in the existing literature and exploring potential directions for future research.

Guided imagery involves a person visualizing a mental image and engaging each sense

- The study examined the effectiveness of behavioral interventions in reducing stress and improving emotional intelligence among executives.
- Executives were divided into an experimental group that received 8 weeks of behavioral interventions and a control group. Interventions included relaxation techniques, yoga, and breathing exercises.
- Post-intervention testing found the experimental group had significantly lower stress levels and higher emotional intelligence scores than the control group. Dimensions like stress management, adaptability, and mood all saw marked improvements in the experimental group.
- The results indicate behavioral interventions were effective in enhancing emotional intelligence and reducing stress among the executives who received the targeted training techniques over the 8-week period.

This research article examines whether a questionnaire measure of executive function (EF) can predict treatment outcomes for anxiety and depression following cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). 206 outpatients with major depression or an anxiety disorder completed the Revised Dysexecutive Questionnaire (DEX-R) to assess EF before undergoing group CBT. The DEX-R measures EF across factors of inhibition, volition, and social regulation. Higher DEX-R scores indicate greater executive dysfunction. Results showed that executive dysfunction predicted concurrent anxiety and depression symptoms after controlling for comorbidity. Specifically, inhibition predicted anxiety and volition predicted depression. Executive dysfunction also predicted post-treatment anxiety symptoms but not depression following CBT. The study concludes that EF deficits are associated
Draft sft
Strategic family therapy is a goal-oriented approach initiated by the therapist to address a family's presenting problem. It is based on concepts from communication theory and structural family therapy, focusing on patterns of verbal and nonverbal communication within a family system rather than individual inner conflicts. Key figures in developing strategic family therapy include members of the Palo Alto Group in the 1960s-1970s and therapists at the Brief Family Therapy/Mental Research Institute who were influenced by cybernetics and emphasized circular causality and feedback loops in problem formation and resolution.

The document summarizes three approaches to psychotherapy: psychodynamic therapy, behavioral therapy, and cognitive therapy. Psychodynamic therapy seeks to bring unconscious conflicts into conscious awareness to deal with problems like depression and anxiety. Behavioral therapy uses learning principles like reinforcement and extinction to treat learned behaviors related to anxiety disorders and phobias. Cognitive therapy aims to change thinking patterns using learning principles and is appropriate for anxiety, phobias, and depression.

The document summarizes a study that examined the effects of mindfulness meditation on working memory capacity, affect, and decision making ability. Sixteen stressed college students were randomly assigned to either a 30-day mindfulness meditation training program or a nature sounds control group. Measures of working memory capacity, positive affect, and decision making were taken before and after the 30 days. Results showed that the meditation group had significantly higher working memory capacity after training compared to controls. However, there were no significant effects on positive affect or decision making ability between the groups.
Paintronics presentation
The Neurophysiologic Pain Profile machine has been tested and approved by most major health insurers to more accurately assess patients' pain levels. It can reproduce clinical exam conditions to objectively measure pain parameters like severity and location, avoiding issues with subjective patient self-reporting and clinical interpretations that can lead to improper diagnoses and treatments. By determining the precise etiology of a patient's pain, it aims to guide more effective care tailored to the individual rather than incorrectly assuming psychological or malingering causes.

Om^2 Theory Rationale
OM2 Theory represents a meta-theory that integrates research from psychology, medicine, and sociology to understand what comprises individual happiness. It combines theories such as Plutchik's psychoevolutionary theory of emotions, Rogers' humanistic theory, and Greenberg's emotion-focused therapy to provide a simple, streamlined structure for experiencing consistent happiness. The theory proposes that awareness of one's thoughts, feelings, actions, and physiological responses, coupled with genuine, vulnerable connections with oneself and others, can overcome unnecessary suffering and induce true happiness. OM2 Theory aims to apply this integrative model through affordable health programs to help all people live happy, healthy lifestyles.

Yoga nidra, or "yogic sleep", is a mindfulness practice that involves guided relaxation and awareness of bodily sensations. It aims to reduce stress and increase well-being and performance. The document discusses how yoga nidra cultivates mindfulness by focusing attention on the breath and alternating awareness between different parts of the body. Research shows it can decrease stress symptoms and increase skills like attention regulation. A typical yoga nidra session involves settling the body, focused breathing, mental resolutions, and guided awareness practices. It is said to activate the prefrontal cortex and reduce stress in the limbic system by descripting emotions symbolically.

This systematic review identified 9 studies that assessed or manipulated patient expectancies regarding acupuncture treatment and related expectancies to health outcomes. The studies used heterogeneous methodologies, preventing meta-analysis. A descriptive review found that 5 studies reported statistically significant effects of expectancy on at least one outcome, with 3 also finding evidence suggestive of an interaction between expectancy and whether real or placebo acupuncture was received. While some trends were observed, conclusions are limited by the heterogeneity of study designs. Future research should further consider how best to assess or manipulate expectancies in this area.
Toward a theory of Motivational Interviewing
1) Motivational interviewing (MI) arose from research on therapist empathy that found empathy strongly predicted client drinking outcomes.
2) MI was then developed as a clinical method focused on differentially responding to client speech to evoke and strengthen their own motivations for change.
3) Research found that MI alone or added to other treatments significantly increased client abstinence and retention in treatment programs for substance use issues. However, outcomes have varied across populations and studies.

Guided Imagery and Progressive Muscle Relaxation in Group Psychotherapy
A majority of Americans experience stress in their daily lives (American Psychological
Association, 2017). Thus, an important goal of psychological research is to evaluate techniques
that promote stress reduction and relaxation. Two techniques that have been associated with
reduced stress and increased relaxation in psychotherapy contexts are guided imagery and
progressive muscle relaxation (McGuigan & Lehrer, 2007). Guided imagery aids individuals in
connecting their internal and external experiences, allowing them, for example, to feel calmer
externally because they practice thinking about calming imagery. Progressive muscle relaxation
involves diaphragmatic breathing and the tensing and releasing of 16 major muscle groups;
together these behaviors lead individuals to a more relaxed state (Jacobson, 1938; Trakhtenberg,
2008). Guided imagery and progressive muscle relaxation are both cognitive behavioral
techniques (Yalom & Leszcz, 2005) in which individuals focus on the relationship among
thoughts, emotions, and behaviors (White, 2000).
Group psychotherapy effectively promotes positive treatment outcomes in patients in a
cost-effective way. Its efficacy is in part attributable to variables unique to the group experience
of therapy as compared with individual psychotherapy (Bottomley, 1996; Yalom & Leszcz,
2005). That is, the group format helps participants feel accepted and better understand their
common struggles; at the same time, interactions with group members provide social support and
models of positive behavior (Yalom & Leszcz, 2005). Thus, it is useful to examine how stress
reduction and relaxation can be enhanced in a group context.
The purpose of this literature review is to examine the research base on guided imagery
and progressive muscle relaxation in group psychotherapy contexts. I provide overviews of both
guided imagery and progressive muscle relaxation, including theoretical foundations and
3
historical context. Then I examine guided imagery and progressive muscle relaxation as used on
their own as well as in combination as part of group psychotherapy (see Baider et al., 1994, for
more). Throughout the review, I highlight themes in the research. Finally, I end by pointing out
limitations in the existing literature and exploring potential directions for future research.

Features of Guided Imagery
Guided imagery involves a person visualizing a mental image and engaging each sense
(e.g., sight, smell, touch) in the process. Guided imagery was first examined in a psychological
context in the 1960s, when the behavior theorist Joseph Wolpe helped pioneer the use .

- The study examined the effectiveness of behavioral interventions in reducing stress and improving emotional intelligence among executives.
- Executives were divided into an experimental group that received 8 weeks of behavioral interventions and a control group. Interventions included relaxation techniques, yoga, and breathing exercises.
- Post-intervention testing found the experimental group had significantly lower stress levels and higher emotional intelligence scores than the control group. Dimensions like stress management, adaptability, and mood all saw marked improvements in the experimental group.
- The results indicate behavioral interventions were effective in enhancing emotional intelligence and reducing stress among the executives who received the targeted training techniques over the 8-week period.
Issues and Methods in Meditation Research
Most research has been seen the growing interest in the neurobiological correlates of meditation. They omitted the philosophical aspects of meditation on human being and its wider implications on human. Hence the following issues like definition, study design, and its outcomes need to be study. In meditation research the effects of meditation practice need to examine and also how meditation works is need to study and examine. Some meditation techniques reduce pain, but how meditation affects the brain’s response to pain is not been studied. The brain structural differences between a well-matched sample of long-term meditators and controls using whole-brain cortical thickness also need to analysze. This paper describes the issues related to meditation and their effects on the study of meditation with some explanation of methods in meditation research.

This study examined the impact of an 8-week stress management program using behavioral interventions on the emotional intelligence and stress levels of 186 executives at BSNL, Tamil Nadu, India. The executives were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. The experimental group received behavioral interventions targeting stress management skills and emotional intelligence, while the control group did not receive any intervention. Measures of somatic symptoms, psychological symptoms, stress resilience, emotional intelligence, and stress level were administered before and after the intervention. Results showed the experimental group had greater improvements in stress management skills, emotional intelligence, and reduced stress levels compared to the control group after the intervention.

This study examined the impact of stress management techniques on the emotional intelligence and stress levels of executives at BSNL, Tamil Nadu Circle. 186 executives were divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental group received behavioral interventions like relaxation techniques, while the control group did not. Both groups completed the Kindler Stress Inventory before and after the 8-week intervention period. Results showed the experimental group had significantly lower scores for somatic symptoms, psychological symptoms, and higher scores for stress resilience after the intervention, compared to the control group. This indicates the behavioral techniques helped reduce stress levels and improve emotional intelligence for the experimental group compared to the control group without intervention.

13CHAPTER II
First, to understand how yoga can be a solution, one must understand how a yoga class, specifically a yin/ restorative class, is implemented. Participants arrive to the space and sit down on their mats. Typically, they are instructed to lay down flat or engage in a supine yin yoga poses to start off the class. This signals the body to relax and sets the atmosphere to lower the body’s stress response. Then they are led in a series of deep breaths. Beginning with a long inhale filling the lungs and expanding the diaphragm, a brief retention of the oxygen, then a slow and steady exhale. This is repeated as many times as is needed, but usually until the instructor can observed physical signs of relaxation such as tension release in the shoulders, limbs and facial muscles. Participants are then led through a sequence of poses, often incorporating props to support the body and modifications for execution with out injury, strain or loss of connection with the breath. Poses are held anywhere from three to five minutes at a time. The instructor continuously cues breathing and often uses the inhale and exhale to get into and out of poses. Once it is nearing the end of the class, the pace slows down even more. This eventually leads to the savasana, mentioned above, which is a seven-minute resting period with the eyes closed. Participants are cued back to an awakened state by a few deep breaths, gentle moving of the fingers and toes, and then brought back to a seated position. This would conclude the yoga practice/ class.
Literature Review
Upon researching this topic, several studies named different causes as factors to reduce stress levels during and after participation in yoga classes. These studies explored levels of stress measured by self-reporting on a questionnaire or a stress/ anxiety assessment tool, measuring heart rate variability (HRV) and measuring cortisol levels in saliva. Above, the components of a yoga practice were highlighted in the class’ implementation, including breathing, physical activity and mindfulness. These components were investigated to find possible correlation with lowered stress levels. This study will investigate the findings in several studies and synthesize ideas and measures that they had in common.
Heart Rate Variability
Increased heart rate and blood pressure are often indicators of stress. When one is in a state of stress, the sympathetic nervous system is activated. This is sometimes referred to as the “fight or flight” response. Heart rate variability (HRV) measures the time between heartbeats and it has been used to examine the differences between the sympathetic (fight or flight) and parasympathetic (rest and digest) nervous system activity. Low frequency (LF), high frequency (HF), LF/HF ratio, normal lower frequency (nLF), normal high frequency (nHF) and nLF/ nHF ratio are all components of measurement for HRV. These and other aspects of cardiac health are often predictors of good/ poor hea ...

This document proposes research to test the effectiveness of adapting Les Stroud's "Three Zones of Assessment" survival technique for coping with anxiety. The technique involves assessing: 1) what is happening within oneself, 2) one's immediate environment, and 3) how to envision overcoming the anxiety-provoking situation. Participants would receive the technique or not before a role-play anxiety-inducing waiting room task. Anxiety levels would be measured and compared between groups, with a 3-month follow up to assess ongoing use and effectiveness of the technique. The goal is to provide an easy-to-use coping tool to help treat anxiety.
Effects Of Yoga And Meditation
Yoga and meditation have shown benefits in treating PTSD symptoms based on several studies. A pilot study found that patients assigned to yoga had greater decreases in PTSD symptoms of intrusions and hyperarousal than those assigned to dialectical behavior therapy. Yoga is thought to help by teaching patients to focus on bodily sensations and moderate arousal levels. The Veterans Administration has also implemented PTSD treatment programs utilizing yoga, meditation, and other mind-body practices.
The exercise effect
1) Exercise has been shown to have significant mental health benefits such as reducing symptoms of depression and anxiety. However, psychologists have been slow to incorporate exercise into treatment plans.
2) Research shows that both short-term and long-term exercise can help alleviate symptoms of depression and may be comparable to antidepressant medication. Exercise is also associated with reduced risk of relapse.
3) Exercise has benefits for reducing anxiety as well. Regular physical activity can help those prone to anxiety become less sensitive to fight-or-flight symptoms that could trigger panic attacks.
Effect of Yoga on Anxiety: An Interventional study
Regular practice of yoga promotes strength, endurance, flexibility and facilitates characteristics of friendliness, compassion & self-control. So this study was conducted to find out the effect of yoga on anxiety. This study was conducted on 200 anxiety cases having age range of 18 to 55 years. Hamilton anxiety scale was used to measure the anxiety. These cases were divide into two group randomly i.e. study group and control group. Study group was given certain set of yogic exercise. Both the groups were followed and results were compared where independent variables yoga and dependent variable Anxiety was used. Chi-square, independent t test, was used for data analysis. It was observed that Anxiety was significantly decreased after the yogic intervention (P=0.042S). So it can be concluded that yoga can reduce perceived stress improve well-being even more significantly so its recommend to do yoga regularly.
Neuroscience of mindfulness
Dr. Suresh Kumar Murugesan and Dr. Veenavani are founders of Yellow Pond and other organizations focused on psychology and positive behavior. They presented on the neuroscience of mindfulness based on various studies. Mindfulness involves focusing attention on the present moment in an open and non-reactive way. Studies show mindfulness is associated with changes in brain regions involved in emotion regulation, memory, and self-awareness such as reduced amygdala activity and increased prefrontal cortex and hippocampus activity. A meta-analysis found consistent changes in 8 brain regions of experienced meditators.
Neuroscience Meditation
This lecture provides an overview of the scientific study of meditation and discusses recent neuroscience research findings. It begins with a brief history of meditation research starting in the 1970s. Recent studies have found changes in brain structure and function related to meditation practices like mindfulness and compassion meditation. An ongoing large clinical trial called CALM is exploring the effects of mindfulness and compassion meditation training on inflammatory responses to stress. Brain imaging will be used to study longitudinal changes in brain structure, function and response to emotional stimuli from meditation practices. The goal is to better understand the physiological mechanisms through which meditation impacts mental and physical health.
Mindfulness: An effective coaching tool for improving physical and mental health
This document discusses how mindfulness can be an effective coaching tool for improving physical and mental health. It provides an overview of mindfulness, including its origins and mechanisms of action. A growing body of research indicates that mindfulness can be taught and cultivated to reduce stress, enhance quality of life, and ultimately improve health outcomes. Accordingly, advanced practice nurses can practice and teach mindfulness to support lifestyle changes and health promotion as part of their coaching competency.

一比一原版(EUR毕业证)鹿特丹伊拉斯姆斯大学毕业证如何办理
EUR毕业证offer【微信95270640】《鹿特丹伊拉斯姆斯大学毕业证书原版制作EUR成绩单》【Q微信95270640】《仿制EUR毕业证成绩单鹿特丹伊拉斯姆斯大学学位证书pdf电子图》，A.为什么留学生需要操作留信认证?
留信认证全称全国留学生信息服务网认证,隶属于北京中科院。①留信认证门槛条件更低,费用更美丽,并且包过,完单周期短,效率高②留信认证虽然不能去国企,但是一般的公司都没有问题,因为国内很多公司连基本的留学生学历认证都不了解。这对于留学生来说,这就比自己光拿一个证书更有说服力,因为留学学历可以在留信网站上进行查询!
B.为什么我们提供的毕业证成绩单具有使用价值？
查询留服认证是国内鉴别留学生海外学历的唯一途径，但认证只是个体行为，不是所有留学生都操作，所以没有办理认证的留学生的学历在国内也是查询不到的，他们也仅仅只有一张文凭。所以这时候我们提供的和学校颁发的一模一样的毕业证成绩单，就有了使用价值。
