Wow. I didn't know there were quite so many options out there for relaxation and stress techniques to help you maintain your body's complete health.I doubt I will ever be able to get into all of them, but I thought others may be interested in finding out new therapies to work with their own personal level of comfort. Many of us slack off in the exercise department due to the fact we have associated it with pain and suffering. We want immediate gratification or the easiest way possible. But maybe one way we can help ourselves overcome that negative thinking is to find a technique that allows us to relax, yet works to get us in shape inwardly and outwardly without us wanting to give up in failure before any benefits can be redeemed.
I found the following article quite interesting and it opened my eyes to a new way of thinking. If we learn to relax and free our bodies of stress, we may find in time the body naturally releases it's own fat deposits through cleansing in stress relief.

Ancient Health Science: How Do T’ai Chi and Qigong Work?
Copyright 2005 Bill Douglas

Western medical science is only beginning to understand
what T’ai Chi and Qigong offers us. However, just the tiny
amount of research that has been done so far indicates that
T’ai Chi and Qigong are very powerful health tools that can
save each of us and our society a great deal of money and
personal suffering.

Both T’ai Chi & Qigong are a combination of “bio-feedback”,
“visualization”, and “classical conditioning” techniques
that can not only provide powerful adjunct therapy for most
maladies, but also can teach us tools that may head off
physical illness long before it actually occurs. There is
a newly emerging science of medicine known as
psychoneuroimmunology, which is the study of the mind’s
influence over the body. This new science, although new in
the West has actually been practiced and refined to an
extremely high level in China in the form of T’ai Chi and
Qigong.

Although, new to Westerners, T’ai Chi and Qigong are
centuries or even millennia old, and in fact provide the
backbone of healthcare in China today, even though China
also employs all the wonders of Western medicine. T’ai Chi
and Qigong is a form of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and
therefore based on the same principles as acupuncture and
Traditional Chinese Medicine’s (TCM) herbal medicine. The
premise of all Traditional Chinese Medicine, whether it’s
acupuncture, herbal medicine, or T’ai Chi and Qigong is
that there is a flow of subtle energy, or bio energy,
flowing through the body, and when this flow gets blocked
or obstructed our health systems are diminished as a
result. There are 2 ways this energy gets blocked, one by
an external accident, obviously if you break your leg it
will affect the way the energy flows through it. However,
the most common way that energy gets blocked is by internal
unmanaged stress. We know this is the most common way,
because most research indicates that about 70% of all
illnesses sending us to the doctor are due to stress.

At www.worldtaichiday.org you can find a free Sitting
Qigong exercise in the Free Lessons menu that will enable
you to begin to actually feel this experience of energy and
energy blockages. If you book mark it and use it daily,
you will likely find a significant shift in the quality of
your life.

Tai Chi brings this qualitative shift to another level by
physicalizing it throughout your entire body. Tai Chi’s
motions replicate most of the motions the body is capable
of performing in the normal day’s activities, and thereby
it begins to trigger the relaxation responses of flowing
life energy into the everyday tasks we perform.

Again, since 70% of illness is cause by stress, this
incorporation of stress cleansing techniques into the
fabric of our lives can be a powerful technology for
everyone to learn. These were up until recently ancient
secrets of China, but today are available to people
worldwide who take the time to learn them.
