Yoga enables you to take some time out and focus your mind on relaxation and attitude.  Patanjali (http://hrih.net/patanjali/) has said that one develops concentration and clarity of thought by practising pranayama. Also by practising pranayama blood is purified and weakness of body are removed.

Yoga and meditation helps me, Get outside and sit in the sun for at least 30 minutes a day (15 and 15min) unless it's warm then go for it. \nYou can try homeopathic remedies\nFind something you enjoy doing and do it. \nExercise I have heard helps to, as well as make you fit.\nSometimes a talking to a psycologist helps\nor if you can afford it hypnotherapy. It can help with a lot.\nGood luck and good health to you

We give undue importance to our health and the treatment of diseases. A large number of medicines treat only the symptoms of the disease, and not the root cause. In fact, the cause of many chronic ailments is still being researched.\n\nIt is here that Yoga therapy comes to our assistance. Yoga emphasizes treatment of the root cause of an ailment. It works in a slow, subtle and miraculous manner. Modern medicine can claim to save a life at a critical stage, but, for complete recovery and regaining of normal health, one must believe in the efficiency of Yoga therapy.\n\nThe Yogic way of life includes a code of ethics, regulations, discipline and more, combined with prayer and meditation. Even a discussion of these subjects helps one relieve mental tensions and change attitudes. Simple Asanas help to stretch and relax the whole body and neutralize tensions. The sincere practice of Yoga postures benefits all levels of experience.\n\nFrom the restoration of balance, flexibility, poise, health and well being to the body, to the cultivation of mental equanimity, emotional balance, and inner strength. On a physical level Yoga postures stimulate the glands, organs, muscles and nerves in ways that traditional exercise cannot. \n\nThrough continued practice Yoga postures can have a profound effect on the inner dimensions of life, establishing deep calm, concentration, emotional stability and confidence.\n \nFor further information, you can refer to the sources. Hope it answers your query.

Hinduistic healing is centered around chakras. Chakras are points all along your spine that are pretty much energy conductors, there are 7. Through meditation you strengthen them, like you would through working out a muscle, then you are able to channel that energy where you like, supposedly healing whatever you wish. If you are interested in that you might want to look into Kundalini meditation techniques. I would say, however, that spiruality has more of a placebo effect, if someone truly believes that something can heal them (like the last post) they end up healing themselves and believing some higher power was responsible...in my opinion.

The sun.  That's what Mother Nature used, and it works pretty good.

Whenever I do yoga it clears my mind.  If I'm feeling stressed out, I like to concentrate on my breathing and hold poses while perfecting the position.  It makes you feel calmer and energized. It keeps your spine straight and strong.  I also find when I'm doing yoga regularly, that my appetite is less.  Hope this is helpful.

It's a good exercise for beginners as long as you start at a beginner level and not with an advanced class. It focuses on slow, controlled movements, breathing, flexibility and balance. It does not burn many calories though if that's your reason for exercise. For more info on Yoga, visit http://www.abc-of-yoga.com

your question seems a bit confusing. u seem to be confused about yoga. its good physically & philosophically too. it definitely does not make a person moody & slow. it adds to the charging of the mind. it makes a person very positive in his own thinking, where he/she can take on any stress related issues. ask anyone who practices yoga.

Hatha Yoga is excellent for relaxation. So is Tai Chi.\nWhenever we encounter a stressful event, our bodies undergo a series of hormonal and biochemical changes that put as in ‘alarm mode.’ Our heart rate increases, adrenaline rushes through our blood stream, and our digestive and immune systems temporarily shut down. If the stressors continue and we stay on high alert for a prolonged period of time, we experience exhaustion and burn out. None of us can avoid stress, but we can return to a state of balance and regulation through a variety of means: exercise, humor, play, music, prayer or meditation. These activities provide calming and relaxing sensory input for stress relief and can be selected according to lifestyle and preference.\n\nYoga is a broad term for a series of practices that were developed over several millennia to bring practitioners into a state of wholeness and completeness. The sanskrit word yoga, which literally means ‘to unite,’ has many branches, including Hatha Yoga. Hatha Yoga consists of concentration techniques, breathing exercises, dietary guidelines, and a series of stationary or moving poses—also called asanas. These body movements are what we commonly refer to today when we use the word ‘yoga.’\n\nYoga postures balance the different systems of the body, including the central nervous system, the endocrine (or glandular) system, and the digestive system. By slowing down the mental activity, and by gently stretching the body and massaging the internal organs, yoga creates a climate of dynamic peacefulness within. This relaxing and rejuvenating experience momentarily removes us from involvement with the stressors in our lives—our “to-do” lists, unresolved issues from the past, or worries of the future. By practicing yoga on a regular basis, we build up a natural response to stress, and bring the relaxed state more and more into our daily lives.\n\nTai Chi Chuan, or Tai Chi for short, is a self-paced, non-competitive series of slow, flowing body movements (“forms”) that emphasize acute concentration, relaxation, and the conscious circulation of vital energy throughout the body. Though Tai Chi evolved as a martial art sometime in the 13th century, it is primarily practiced today as a way of calming the mind, conditioning the body, and reducing stress. \n\nThere is also this:\nMassage Therapy – A professional massage from a trained therapist can provide soothing, deep relaxation and can improve physiological processes such as circulation. A stress-relieving massage targets specific muscles that may be tense and painful. As the tense muscles relax, so does your entire body as well as your overstressed mind. According to the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA), the most common type of massage is a Swedish massage, which is specifically meant to relax and energize. \n\n(AND This is something not so well known perhaps but one of the best ones!) -\nAlexander Technique:\nThere is a connection between tense, tight muscles and anxiety. Muscles, when  severely constricted, can create mental and emotional imbalances . The Alexander Technique helps release the muscle tension. This, in turn, brings about an improvement in the persons' general mental health and well-being, according to followers of this therapy.\n(give a google search for this one, lots of details will come up)

Sit in a comfortable position, with a straight spine, and the eyes either closed, or out of focus.\n\nThis is a good one to teach our mind to concentrate, called the twenty-four second meditation. It involves picturing numbers made up of dots as shown on large digital displays. We commence by picturing the digits 24. When we can clearly visualise each dot which makes each of the two digits two and four, then we move to 23, and 22. The concentration on the dots helps to eliminate other thoughts from the mind, and with a little practice over a few days, we are able to move from 24 down through all the digits to 0. If another thought enters our mind during this process, then we must start again. This is why it takes a few days before we are able to succeed Once we can succeed then we are achieving an alpha state of mind, which is relaxed, and free of the linear thought process. This is the state of mind required for deep meditation, which we discuss later.\n\nhttp://dgwa1.fortunecity.com/mind/fastrack119.html
