yes, yoga is a good mind set as well as mediating.  It helps calms the stress and helps you to focus on the problem  in a more approrite way. \n\n\nI suffer from anxiety and depression although I do take medication.  I don't recommend it to everyone, because it is not to everyone.

I have used it for years. A doctor told me it was a smart form of exercise because it involves the entire body. It was great to me for weight loss, to help with depression, and lethargy. I have recommended it numerous times.

Yoga and meditation are powerful, but since the cause of the tension is unclear, it'd be unwise to assume that they alone will cure your problem. \n\nNonetheless, they should be able to help relieve it indirectly by improving your physical and mental wellness overall. These benefits are founded on 2 things:\n1. Time to try, experience and explore\n2. A good yoga teacher

Yoga is great exercise and an amazing stress release.  It is very relaxing and really teaches you to focus on what you are doing, and your breathing, instead of the outside world.\n\nThe best way to start would be to find a gym or yoga studio with beginners classes.  It is really important to have a good instructor when you first learn so that you don't hurt yourself, and so that you get the most out of the postures.\n\nI was always shocked when I thought I was fully in a pose, and the instructor would walk over and adjust me an inch or two and it was a whole other feeling!!\n\nThe other thing about yoga is - don't rush it.  You can do the same poses for a year and still get the benefit from doing it.  Don't feel like you have to rush from beginner to intermediate in any timeframe.  Once you learn poses in class, try doing just one or two of them at home every day, and you will feel much better.

On Amazon.com there's a DVD available called "Yoga for MS,"\nstarring Shoosh Lettick Crotzer. It's $29.50.\n\nAlso, here's an article on yogajournal.com that may be of some help:\n\nYoga for Multiple Sclerosis\n\nI have multiple sclerosis and have been practicing Iyengar yoga for a few months. It's been very beneficial. Is there anything I can focus on to bring more progress? \n\nBy Baxter Bell\n\n— Jessica Howland, Kihei, Hawaii \n\nBaxter Bell's reply:\n Jessica, your entry into hatha yoga with the Iyengar method was a fortuitous choice. The ability to adapt the poses with props can be particularly beneficial with multiple sclerosis (MS), since flare-ups can affect strength, balance, and coordination. \nIt’s also important for you to know about a very unique Iyengar teacher, Eric Small (located in the Los Angeles area), whose personal story of developing MS in his late teens and reclaiming his health through his study with Mr. Iyengar is almost legendary. His experience eventually led him to work with the National MS Society to create a yoga teacher-training program for teachers who want to work with students with MS. I was fortunate enough to participate in this course in 2001 with Eric as the lead instructor. \n\nStudying with an MS-trained instructor can improve your chances of moving through the practice at an appropriate pace for whatever stage of the MS cycle you may find yourself in. In addition, you will learn specific sequences designed for challenges such as fatigue, constipation, problems with digestion, lack of mental clarity, or balance. Balance, for example, can be addressed with asanas such as Tadasana (Mountain Pose), Virabhadrasana I (Warrior Pose I) and Virabhadrasana II (Warrior Pose II), and Trikonasana (Triangle Pose). \n\nFor a student with MS, there are three types of symptoms that hatha yoga directly addresses: fatigue and heat intolerance, numbness in the limbs and loss of coordination, and loss of flexibility and balance. Fatigue and heat intolerance appear to be the most limiting factors to MS students. To counter these limitations, students learn to master the breath and practice restorative postures. Both techniques cool the body and calm the nervous system. The simple breathing technique of lengthening the exhalation a little longer than the inhalation helps quiet the nervous system. It’s been observed that heat, stress, and tension can cause temporary worsening of MS symptoms, so keep the pace of practice relaxed but focused—keeping the body just shy of sweating is important. \n\nMS can also result in a daily battle with numbness of the arms and legs, muscle spasms, and loss of coordination. The system of yoga emphasizes stretching and breathing, which can release tension and improve circulation and body awareness. Yoga practice can also facilitate harmony between the muscular and nervous systems of the body, possibly resulting in more fluid movement and relief from muscle tension. As a student’s level of body awareness improves, she can begin to recognize the first signs of stress on her system before it overwhelms her. \n\nFinally, in addition to evolving body awareness, yoga increases flexibility and balance. The poses increase the range of motion in the joints and improve muscle tone, and work of most of the body’s muscle groups. \n\nYour yoga practice can be tailored according to your needs. If you are in a period of remission and your balance is intact, you can often do most of poses practiced in an ordinary class setting. During periods of relapse, stay in the groove of practicing by doing a modified practice, for example lying supine on the floor or utilizing chairs and the wall. \n\nThe effect of hatha yoga on MS is of such great interest that the National Institutes of Health’s National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine division has funded a study of the effects of yoga on MS patients. Preliminary data shows improvement speci

if u r looking for a way to relax and releave stress, it's best u do it naturally. i would recommend u against using machines, tapes, pills, or any other artificial means.\n\ninstead, why don't u try yoga, meditation in a park (or any other form of nature close to u...the more "natural" it is, the better!), light strolls on sunny days or even enjoying a good sunset either alone or with company (be sure not to have very TALKATIVE company in that case)? of course, rectifying ur breathing method can also do wonders in meditation. the average Hindu monk breathes inhales and exhales after 15 or so seconds. then he exhales and takes another 10 seconds before taking another breath. as weird of impossible as that may sound to some people, it works wonders not only for ur phychological state, but also helps speed up ur metabolism and perfect ur bodily functions (like digestion and such). \n\nMonks believe that people are born with a specific amount of breathes. according to their beliefs, our life comes to an end once we use up our last breath. so the longer the pause between each breath, the less breaths one will take in total at the end of the day, leaving them with a bigger number of days to live in the long run.\n\nu don't have to believe this theory about breaths, but seriously, breathing slowly CAN help u be calmer! but it might take a while to get used to the change if u r used to breathing short and shallow.\n\nthis is another case where "practise makes perfect". so i wish u the best of luck and happy meditating!
