Summary:

When you sense yourself being stretched to the limit, what do you do? Maybe you're feeling anxious, uneasy, or downright sick. Do you pop a pill? Believe it or not, there is a faster, more natural way to find relief. Whether your symptoms are a result of stress or related to a specific health condition, the simple act of paying attention to yourself can be your first and best defense. The belief in our natural instinct to heal dates back thousands of years, yet modern medicine has for the most part put its faith in drugs instead of people. So today, the concept of self-healing is once again progressive. Likewise, Dr. Lorin Roche is considered something of a rebel when it comes to meditation. He recommends leaving the rigid techniques and painful positions to celibate yogis and long-faced monks and instead promotes a more Western approach.
