History

Everyone has a different preference and likes to relax in his/her own way when experiencing some form of stress in their day to day routine. Stress erodes a person from within by developing various types of addictions, phobias, depression, and obsessive compulsive disorders. Stress therapies are designed to mitigate the damage caused by diverting people’s attentions towards another direction. Some might resolve to watching television, some might go for a massage; some may take a long hot shower whilst some may simply get dressed up and go for shopping! But what is the ideal mental health and relaxation therapy? What is the most effective as well as efficient way of getting rid of this evil monster called ‘stress’?

Breathing and muscle relaxation exercises can be practiced to ease the tensed muscles and relax the person. This can be done by breathing deeply at least ten times when in stress. This is also an essential component of Yoga, a form of meditation whereby the person sits in a particular posture and closes his/her mind to experience serenity. Perhaps the best therapy is to exercise- go for a walk and breath some cool fresh air, or jog around for a while. What’s more is that you can go and take in the beauty of nature by sitting on a quiet and serene beach.
