To those of you who got better from TMS: how much did yoga play a part or help you? I know about the general benefits of yoga/breathing/meditation, but have never been able to make it a daily practice. Just curious about success stories of those of you who have been thru this and...

I have done two yoga classes at a Buddhist Centre and was completely free of symptoms while doing it even when I was feeling really awful beforehand! Totally wonderful. It's over an hour there and a hour back by bus, which is a lot, so I can only do that once a week at the moment. I'd love to...

This is my first post, but a little bit about me. I have some back, shoulder and neck issues. I've had the back issues since I was 21, I am currently 31. I've always been an active person, and I remain active competing in OCR races, lift weights, and etc. A few months ago I decided I wanted to...

Anyone have any experience with Somatic Yoga? I was just told to try it and it was described as a practice that can help calm the nervous system. I'm looking to do more yoga as a consistent practice to help find that stillness and mindfulness for myself, and also just work on building physical...

I went to yoga about a week ago, for the first time in a month. I really should’ve relaxed and backed off, but I didn’t. The next day I woke up with a migraine and some of the worst pain I’ve had in a long time. I knew I’d overextended my neck, by doing about a bajillion planks and down dogs. I...

Hi, my name is Erich Luedtke. I'm a developer at Curable. I suffered from chronic hand pain RSI and many other hard to explain ailments for many years. Dr. Sarno's book The Mindbody Prescription connected many of the dots for me. I have been able to live my life without lasting pain or the fear...

Hi! I started doing yoga 2 months ago in order to keep my body active. I thought it would be good , low-impact exercise. It is even included in the (very short) list my rheumathologist suggested me to try. I have a small, skinny, flexible body. I can stretch a lot and do most postures, and I...

Hi All, I'm not sure you are all familiar with this story about Keith Mitchell. But thought I'd post it. He overcame paralysis by meditation and yoga. The third video is probably my favourite, I love how he is bringing mindfulness to the masses. Enjoy

I have recently completed reading 3 of John Sarno's books and have concluded I am a TMS sufferer. My lifetime has been a cycle of TMS related issues from TMJ, headaches, migraines, anxiety attacks, tendinitis in knees, arms, shoulder pain ect. I believe TMS is the diagnosis and have had many...

I came upon a terrific YouTube video and article about yoga deep breathing and want to share it. It is pure TMS and tells how deep diaphragmatic breathing aids the entire nervous system, reducing anxiety and stress, and improves self-awareness. That last part is essential in TMS healing. From...

During the Call-In Discussion Group tonight, while discussing Chapter 33 of The Great Pain Deception, we decided that real laughter can be healing for TMSers. So if you have a funny video or a funny web link, share it in this subforum by starting a new thread. If you know how, you can add the...

I hope the link works, I'm doing it though my phone. If it doesn't google DDP Yoga, Real Sports HBO It's not the whole segment but its pretty interesting I watched the entire video on HBO yesterday morning. Real sports did a segment on a former wrestler who now does his own form of yoga to...

Hi folks, Below is a link to an On Being podcast on EMDR, Yoga, and healing trauma which is very much from a mindbody perspective. On Being is broadcast on NPR, and I find it heartening whenever I see the mindbody perspective get coverage in the mainstream media (I guess NPR falls into that...
