Eliminates Stress, Anxiety and Depression

The Science Experiences Benefits Register

“In yoga, depression is handled at the level of body, mind, and energies. Vibrant and balanced, you will naturally be blissful.” -Sadhguru

Stress can trigger or intensify anxiety and depression, leading to an estimated 60-80% of doctor's visits with stress-related concerns. It can also exacerbate health conditions such as obesity, cardiovascular disease, chronic pain, gastrointestinal problems, sleep disorders, and mental health issues. Furthermore, anxiety is a significant contributor to depression, and both conditions are associated with irregularities in the brain regions responsible for regulating mood.

“Inner Engineering gave me a much-needed stress relief, which has transformed my life in so many ways: It has balanced me on an emotional level so that I feel aligned within myself and much more able to handle different types of external situations. It has made me less reactive, and more responsive and responsible and in daily situations.

As I am writing this I am crying uncontrollably of pure joy, which is something I never imagined possible. Life had become an unbearable weight for me to bear, but now I can see hope and strive for a beautiful future.”

- Kathleen Turner, MN

“I have been going through a period of turmoil because four people who are very close to me have died in the past few weeks. In the same period I have attended a presentation by some volunteers of Isha Foundation. I wanted to do the breathing to help me deal with this and especially because I have had asthma since childhood and no amount of medications have helped me. One of the funerals which I was attending in Boston, was the one that caused a lot of turmoil in me because the asthma medication was running out and I had only 5 inhalations left. I was so anxious that I needed more. On the plane and throughout my trip, I did the Isha practice and I am so happy to say that the number 5 has remained as is on my inhaler. I did not use the diskette nor did I use the rescue medication.

And my breathing has been normal for the last 2 weeks. I just keep doing the practice. Imagine with what I have learned during the presentation, I could do that.”

- Sam Koppar

“I did Inner Engineering in May 2018. Before the program I was suffering from anxiety and panic attacks and used to take antidepressants for depression. I always used to blame my parents, my breakup and other situations for all my misery. But after the program I realized it was all my making.. Now there is so much joy and happiness within me.

I practice Shambhavi Maha Mudra taught in the program everyday and now I'm in love with everything and everyone around me.”

- Angela Hopkins

The Science: How it works?

The whole system of yoga is based on the spine. Many of our vital functions are regulated by the spine through the autonomic nervous system. There are two components of this system: the sympathetic nervous system (survival/stress response) and the parasympathetic nervous system (restful response). These systems function in a complementary manner – when one is on, the other is off. Yoga helps you to keep the restful response on, thereby creating a chemistry of happiness within you.

When the mind perceives a threat or stressful situation, the body reacts by releasing stress hormones which speed up the heart rate, slow down digestion, increase the breathing rate, tense the muscles, preparing the body to fight or flee from danger. This is also called 'fight-or-flight' response because it evolved as a survival mechanism, enabling people and other mammals to react quickly to life-threatening situations. In ancient times, when we lived in the wild, this was needed for our physical survival, and after the danger was dealt with, we had the time to rest and recover from the assault of survival response on our body. However in modern times, this response can even be triggered by an approaching work deadline, an email from our bosses, even a social media post, traffic, conflicts with our friends or family, or various other seemingly stressful situations. On a regular basis, stress hormones flow into our bodies for events that pose no real threat to our physical survival causing damage to the body over time.

Researchers have studied the long-term effects of chronic stress on physical and psychological health. Over time, repeated activation of the stress response takes a toll on the body. Research suggests that chronic stress contributes to high blood pressure, promotes the formation of artery-clogging deposits, diabetes, digestive disorders, and causes brain changes that contribute to stress, anxiety, depression, and addiction. More preliminary research suggests that chronic stress may also contribute to obesity, both through direct mechanisms (causing people to eat more) or indirectly (decreasing sleep and exercise).

Being restful alleviates chronic ailments and improves your immune system and healing. It also improves mental health by reducing anxiety, stress and depression, allowing you to be happier.

Fortunately, you can learn a technique to counter the stress response with consciously activating Restful response through Inner Engineering, which empowers you to create the chemistry of health, happiness & bliss within you.
