7 Ways to Use Your Smartphone for Health and Wellness
Some great app suggestions here... in case you do not have enough apps on your smartphone! "Stop Breathe & Think" comes highly recommended, I know many people that have benefited from this one :)
Childhood Trauma Leads to Brains Wired for Fear
Oh yes, yoga coming up again in research.... Bessel van der Kolk: "We just did a study on yoga for people with PTSD. We found that yoga was more effective than any medicine that people have studied up to now. That doesn't mean that yoga cures it, but yoga makes a substantial difference in the right direction."
Cathy Malchiodi and art therapy: what rubber ducks can teach us about well-being
"15 to 20 minutes of some form of art, three or four days a week, reduces cortisol, the stress hormone. "Art, like exercise, gets us into a flow state, which gets you away from all the things we have on our minds," Malchiodi says. "It gets you away from screens, cell phones, messages. When people take the time to do that, they find they are much more relaxed, it's stress reduction. "Studies done on people with depression and anxiety ... doing handwork of any kind – drawing, knitting, quilting, working in the garden – mediates depression and anxiety. "The theory is that we may be a little more high on the scale of depression/anxiety in the 21st century because we're less engaged with those things ... people were more engaged in handwork 200 years ago. Now we're involved in a different kind of handwork – tap, tap tapping (phones, keyboards) and it doesn't seem to be making us any happier."
