DAILY MOOD EXERCISE
Are you feeling anxious, nervous
and irritable? What is Anxiety? Anxiety can be described as a behavior pattern of excessive
worrying and nervousness, spurred by repetitive or compulsive thoughts and
fears. Anxiety and excessive stress can
actually weaken your immune system and therefore needs to be alleviated as
much as possible. The number one key to treating or eliminating anxiety is
relaxation, and the University of Michigan Health Center has released as
guide explaining both why you need to learn to relax and how to do it. Yoga Yoga and breathing exercises are a great way to control
anxiety and stress. Yoga's unique combination of gentle physical movements,
breathing practices, relaxation and meditation are designed to harmonize the
workings of the nervous system and to relax the physical body. Asanas And Pranayamas for Anxiety Managing Anxiety with Yoga Before starting your yoga practice to
control anxiety, spend five minutes in the Corpse Pose (lying flat on your
mat, concentrating on BI and BO). Use this time mentally to separate yourself
from your experiences of the past, and from the anticipated happenings (real
or imaginary) of the future. Focus your awareness on the present moment
only. If your attention strays during the practice (described by yogis as
mental clutteredness), quietly bring your mind back to this awareness. The
relaxation induced by Alternate-Nostril
Breathing , Ujjayi
(Victorious Breath) and the Deep Relaxation,
will quieten the mind, as well as resting the body. Simple Breathing Exercise for Managing
Anxiety Lie on your back in a comfortable place.
Breathe slowly through your nose for two BI. For
the first BI, use your diaphragm to suck air
into your lungs. Allow your abdomen to expand at the same time. For the
second BI, after the abdomen is fully
expanded, continue to inhale as deeply as possible. Reverse the process when
you breath out BO very slowly. Contract your
abdomen while exhaling slowly and completely. Repeat this exercise five
times. Yoga Sequence to Manage Anxiety Disorders Iyengar recommends the following yoga
sequence to manage anxiety: 1
