are there any health benefits through practicing seiza?

Yes, seiza can be used as a yoga practice.\nBy doing seiza, your lower half of the body gets pressured and it easily blocks the blood circulation. On the other hand, because all the pressure goes to the lower half of the body, upper half of your body, especially your shoulder and head will be relaxed. It's considered it makes your brain very refreshed and calm, which helps you think about things more clearly and smoothly. It helps you concentrate on your studies, work, just anything that needs your brain to work well. \nIt takes time to get used to do seiza and master the very right way of sitting seiza. During this process, the lower half of your body will be trained and be stronger. However, if you practice seiza in a wrong way and keep on doing it, you might have a problem with your legs and feet because of the too much of a pressure. \nIn Japan, Seiza is considered the most beautiful way of sitting. Seiza is the only way of sitting when women wear kimonos by the way...\n\nI understand that you are confused. I was even confused while I was looking for some info about seiza. However, I think it has good benefits for your body. As long as you do seiza in the very right way, it should be fine.

Excercise helps bring the up the seratonin levels and often helps. Find an excercise you like, then you're not only enjoying yourself, but you're more likely to stick with it. (basketball, running, swimming, dancing, whatever gets you going.)\nWhat seems a more succesful suppliment is sam-e, it is more expensive than most suppliments, and you should tell your physician or psycologist that you are trying it (clinical studies show little or no side effect, no harm in trying.) \nSt Johns wort helps as much as SSRIs in studies- in mild to moderate depression, but it seems useless for major depression. It also has some anti-anxiety effect. It may have less side effects than SSRIs, but it certainly has some, an increase in blood pressure and such, and is dangerous in conjuntion with MOA inhibitors, you probably would know if you are taking any of those (your physician or psycologist would have gone over a whole list of foods that MOAIs interact dangerously with.)\nIf your depression is seasonal, then light therapy can help (heat lamps for plants put out the same spectrum of light as does the expensive lamps sold for this purpose.) Again talk to your physician or psycologist.

Depends entirely on what result you're after. Ginko is a good memory aid, and ginseng has reportedly assisted the ability to concentrate, Frankly the best way to look after your brain physically is the same as any other part of the body - good nutrition. When the body is 'comfortable', the mind is less distracted. I find that Omega 3's are very valuable in my daily diet and I use cold pressed flax oil liberally as a salad dressing. \nMental focus increases with practice, so get yourself into a quiet, relaxed and comfortable condition and you'll find that your mind cooperates much more readily. Gradually you'll experience less and less distraction and you'll be able to focus with tremendous unwavering concentration. This isn't just wishful thinking, this is my personal experience. Hope it helps.

Hi,.... I have had this sort of work done on me on several ocassions in the past. I can tell you that if the practitioner is a truly capable one, the effects of such work can be very good and you would most likely experience a subtle effect of calmness and relaxation. ... Of course it is possible for the reciever to experience something such as a subtle emotional catharsis or the healing of some sort of past trauma etc. ... but it is more likely that you would simply experience a very peaceful and relaxing period both during and for a time after recieving the session. ................. and yes,... I would say it is worth having the experience of having your chakras balanced. There is really nothing to fear with it. You are not putting yourself at risk in any way. It is a very gentle and subtle experience.

hi. allow me to share with you a couple of  highly effective yoga techniques which a am sure will do u a whole lot of good. \nthe two exercices or "PRANAYAM" as they r widely known, not only cures respiratory illnesses but also takes care of exceessive weigt gain, eyesight and also heart ailments in many patients. people have understood the benefits within weeks of starting these exercises, and i beleive u will 2.\n\n1. sit with an erct posture on the ground. both legs crossed. this is the common position in all yogic asanas. then take a deep breath. this should then be forcefully expelled from your nose by applying force on your stomach. follow this action continuously @ 2/sec. in the beginning do only 30 reps at a stretch. then rest for a while. restart and repeat the cyle for 5-10 times. do not exert yourself. you will succeed gradually. as ur capacity increases do these sets for 10-15 mins daily, increasing the reps and sets accrdng 2 ur convinience\n\n2. after the first exercise, relax. and do this one slowly. inhale air deeply from left nostril while holding the other closed with the thumb of the right hand. after completing the inhalation close the left nostril with right mid finger and exale slowly from the right nostril. follow this with an  inhale from the right and exale from the left using fingers as mentioned. do this task for 10-15 mmins daily.\n\nnote. these exercises need to be done on an empty stomach. so it is important that u havent eaten anything 3-4 hrs prior to doing these exercise. hence early morning is the best time to perform yoga. 1/2 na hour will put u enroute to a life of healthy living\n\n\nleg raises while lying down and twisting exercises also form an essential part of yoga. but i am sure u must be knowing that already. the pranayam is as na effective substitute for overweight/obese people, or those suffering fro joint aches who cant afford to do cardiovascular workouts.
