    Don't overthink it

    Enrique, totally true - a little support and encouragement can mean and do a whole lot. Don't be intimidated by yoga - actually the opposite. (If it feels intimidating, change classes/studios.) My yoga guru from whom I learned said "...this class is about you, not me the teacher, not your...

    Myers-Briggs Personality Type

    INTJ. Totally N and T. Interesting that almost everyone who has posted is I, and I think all who have posted are N. Mix of F vs T and P vs J.

    DR. SARNO ON HOLIDAY STRESS

    I enjoyed reading all the comments! Humor, support, and acceptance came through! This time of year is tough, I have posted about it before, and also tough for those of us who are affected by the darkness and cloudy cold days. (Me). In recent years I have set some limits, picking one or two...

    Greetings

    Helen, Kindness and letting go of worry and anxiety is key, not getting into those old patterns. Good for you to give a gift to yourself for the new year. Best to you!

    Don't overthink it

    Joey, that is great! I am so glad to hear that it is bringing peace and relaxation and presence to you. That is what yoga is supposed to do. In fact the physical exercises were developed to release a little energy and prepare the body and mind to let go, really the reason for yoga. Western...

    TED talk - the power of the mind and health

    A powerful presentation about how not only the mind can affect symptoms like TMS but also how it can heal other systemic issues and create powerful long term health.

    Don't overthink it

    I agree Steve. I had practiced yoga for about 8 years before TMS really got me. I was away from it for about 3 years being fearful of the practice but I so missed the non physical aspects of it. Joey, if you are interested, look for a gentle class. Go talk with the instructor before class and...

    Don't overthink it

    I went to a yoga class today which I highly recommend for anyone. You are doing yoga if you just go, sit and breathe. (That is what it was originally all about.) I used to do yoga for the physical as much as the mindfulness and breathing. Now for me it all about the letting go and...

    Have A Morning Pick Me Up

    I have my own morning ritual, although it is not everyday. I have a little notebook where I have inspiring quotes I have collected and will usually pick a couple to read at random over my coffee, look out the window or step outside and connect with nature, and accept, be grateful and let the...

    How To Practice Mindfulness

    This is a FABULOUS post. Mindfulness and Zen have been key for me over the last couple of years. And I believe that many of our TMS writers and gurus have mentioned this and will tell you releasing into the moment is what it is all about. Thank you for writing this great, simple - in the best...

    Kicked butt the past few days

    North Star, Very cool to hear what you are doing and how you are doing it. I think cleaning out is so renewing - donating, recycling, clearing out physical and mental space. Letting go of things and thoughts you no longer need. Having too much stuff mentally and physically weighs us down and...

    Acting "as if…"

    North Star and Linda RK, I too worry and have negative thoughts. I have found that they are like bacteria and multiply and become virulent in large amounts! One thing I do is to try to face the worry. Ok, what are the bad things that could happen but also what are the potential good things...
