About the photo: What Middle Road really means is bringing everything to the center for clarity and focus. Everything, including the good, the bad, the joys, and the pains. Bring all...

Evidence for Therapeutic Effects of Mind-body Practice

Mind-body practices are so deeply embedded in our lives, like taking a deep breath under stress, feeling relieved after a big yawn and stretch or taking a walk when feeling gloomy, that we often don’t perceive their intrinsic therapeutic value.

Recently there has been an emergence of new evidence associated with the therapeutic effects of mind-body practice on trauma-induced symptoms. This is good news. It means there is the possibility to reverse the deleterious impacts of trauma through self...
