This book was released on 2018 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A current, widespread review of undergraduate college students revealed that a majority experienced more than average levels of stress in the past year (ACHA-NCHA, 2017). Specifically, psychosocial stress is a top concern, as college students must forge interpersonal relationships with peers, roommates, romantic partners and faculty members, leaving students susceptible to detrimental effects on their well-being (Powers, Laurent, Gunlicks-Stoessel, Balban, & Bent, 2016; Lee & Jang, 2015; Lewandowski, Mattingly & Pedreiro, 2014; Zhang, 2012). Despite the availability of on-campus counseling and student support services, many students do not obtain the skills necessary to manage stress. Research suggests that the ability to self-regulate and respond empathetically can mitigate psychosocial stress (Pepping et al., 2014; Taylor et al., 2013). Moreover, research has shown that that mindfulness is a countering agent to emotional dysregulation (Pepping et al., 2014). There has been increasing evidence that yoga and yogic practice are highly influential in the facilitation of self-regulation (Sauer-Zavala, Walsh, Eisenlohr-Moul, & Lykins, 2013). Furthermore, it is believed that yoga-based mindfulness can assist in effectively managing stress and in yielding positive effects on one's ability to self-regulate (Morone et al., 2012; Keng & Tong, 2016; Friese & Hofmann, 2016). The purpose of this study is to garner a greater understanding of yoga's role in facilitating self-regulation and to explore effectiveness of yoga-based mindfulness on reducing the levels of psychosocial stress in college students. Following an experimental study the relationships between psychosocial stress, self-regulation, mindfulness, empathy and yoga will be examined."--Page 7

Download or read book Mindful Relationships written by B Grace Bullock and published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers. This book was released on 2016-10-01 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human existence depends on relationships. Our brains rely on interconnected neural networks to function. Our minds relentlessly encode complex matrices of meaning to make sense of the world. And our physical and psychological development is contingent on the social bonds we share with others. Mindful Relationships: The Seven Skills for Success integrates the science of mind, body and brain to reveal how stress undermines these relationships, and what we can do about it. Chronic stress threatens our wellbeing and relationship success by creating systemic dysregulation of the mind, body and brain. This dysregulation leaves us relying on primal defense strategies like aggression and withdrawal, and inhibits key cognitive-behavioral capacities essential to relationship success such as accurate appraisal, effective coping, and coherent communication. The inspirational and accessible book introduces the BREATHE model - an evidence-rich approach that synthesizes the science of mind, body and brain to alleviate stress, increase self-awareness, self-regulation, and emotional intelligence, and cultivate resilient social bonds. These Seven Skills are essential tools for creating and maintaining a healthy, harmonious, and successful relationship with yourself and others. Filled with sound science, engaging stories and experiential exercises, this book is bound to change the way that you relate to your life and those in it.
Download or read book Mindfulness and Yoga for Self Regulation written by Catherine P. Cook-Cottone, PhD and published by Springer Publishing Company. This book was released on 2015-04-06 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first book to present mindfulness and yoga-based treatment for dysregulated, consumption-oriented disorders Mindfulness and yoga-based approaches as beneficial supplements to traditional mental health paradigms are well supported by empirical research. Although numerous texts have examined these approaches for treatment of depression, anxiety, and eating disorders, this is the first to address mindfulness and yoga-based approaches as embodied tools for reducing dysregulation associated with self-destructive and consumption-oriented behaviors. Introducing the basic theoretical foundations, key practices, and comprehensive protocols of mindfulness and yoga-based approaches for the treatment of externally oriented behaviors, the text is targeted at mental health professionals who wish to learn how to incorporate these techniques into their practice. The book explores the societal influences that lead to the externally oriented, idealized, and ultimately self-defeating concept of the individual. It provides the structure and practical applications for clinicians to help their clients overcome struggles with externally oriented behaviors and discover an internal sense of satisfaction and peace of mind. Tapping into the concept of a "hungry self" within the context of consumerism, the book advocates mindfulness and yoga approaches as alternate pathways toward a contented, regulated, and authentic experience of self. It addresses various aspects of the consumptive self and defines related syndromes such as disordered eating, compulsive shopping, substance use, and gambling. Creating a context for using alternative and complementary approaches, the book describes the challenges of traditional therapies. It then covers the conceptual aspects of mindfulness and yoga and describes specific protocols that facilitate behaviors associated with a healthy experience of the self for a variety of disorders. Key Features: Describes mindfulness and yoga approaches as an effective treatment for a range of consumption and self-regulation issues--the first book of its kind Explains how to integrate mindfulness and yoga with traditional mental health paradigms for maximum benefits Designed for clinicians with minimal background in yoga or mindfulness Combines a conceptual overview of embodied self-regulation with practical techniques Reviews treatment protocols informed by mindfulness and yoga practices covering their evidence base and contraindications for use

Download or read book Utilizing Qualitative and Quantitative Methods to Shed Light on the Relational Influences of Yoga On and Off the Matt written by Moe Kishida and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the last few decades, the mind-body practice of yoga has seen an unprecedented rise in popularity both from the general population and the scientific community. Despite the wide-array of salutary health benefits that have been demonstrated, a clear void is present in the yoga literature investigating the ways in which yoga impacts connections with oneself and social relationships (which are invaluable for ones health and wellbeing). The overarching goal of this dissertation was to examine the influences of yoga practice on the widely neglected relational (intra- and interpersonal) outcomes. Utilizing a mixed methods approach, the three studies which comprised this dissertation sought to gather unique perspectives to accumulate pre-experimental evidence for the relational benefits of yoga.Study 1 was a qualitative study which investigated the ways in which community-dwelling yoga practitioners perceived and experienced the relational influences of yoga. Through open-ended questions (n=107) and in-depth interviews (n=12), four emerging themes were identified, culminating in the development of a conceptual model of how yoga may work to bring about relational benefits. Study 2 extended this line of inquiry through a 21-day daily diary study, examining the associations of daily yoga practice with mindfulness, (self-)compassion, and social connectedness, to better understand how relational benefits would manifest in regular practitioners of yoga (n=104) in a real world setting. Multilevel analyses indicated that on days when an individual practiced more yoga than their usual, greater mindfulness and self-compassion were reported, which, in turn, predicted enhanced interpersonal outcomes (i.e., compassion and social connectedness). Study 3 examined the role of trait mindfulness in impacting yogas relational benefits in yoga nave practitioners (n=21) participating in a semester long yoga course to better understand for whom and when yoga works. Multivariate time-series analyses demonstrated that on yoga practice days, those with low trait mindfulness observed decreases in relational outcomes specifically, across the first half of the 15-week academic yoga course, whereas those in the high mindfulness group reaped positive relational influences, with effects for self-compassion sustained at the end of the semester. Collectively, this dissertation shed light on the understudied relational aspects of yoga, underscoring the value of employing diverse methodological approaches. The findings demonstrate relational benefits are: (1) perceived and experienced through daily yoga practice across diverse yoga styles and experiences, (2) dynamic phenomena varying substantially within-persons over time and in sync with daily yoga practice, and (3) realized differently for people depending on their level of dispositional mindfulness. While further prospective and experimental research is warranted to corroborate these preliminary findings, a routine yoga practice appears to hold promise in having a positive impact (on and off the mat) on preserving and strengthening the intra- and interpersonal connections which constitute the building blocks of our daily lives. As such, yoga could serve as a promising intervention to promote a wholesome life across diverse populations.
Download or read book Stress Self Regulation and Yoga written by Lauren Mary Collins and published by . This book was released on 2020-04-25 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Generally speaking, self-regulation refers to efforts of monitoring, willpower, and motivation to manage or alter one's incipient responses and impulses to pursue or maintain explicit goals or standards. Yoga practice promotes a general attitude of health care, as well as a commitment and a personal responsibility in its maintenance. Thus, healthy mental habits and positive cognitive and behavioral changes, aimed at increasing the degree of well-being and resilience, can be developed through yoga practices. In this regard, important extant evidence in animal models and humans have shown structural and functional changes in the brain, after interventions with cognitive therapy and certain forms of meditation based on compassion, leading to the suggestion that the neural circuits underlying social and emotional behavior well-being and other prosocial characteristics might be enhanced through the training in these practices. Researchers suggest that the ability to self-regulate and respond empathetically can mitigate psychosocial stress. There has been increasing evidence that yoga and yogic practice are highly influential in the facilitation of self-regulation.
Download or read book The Five Keys to Mindful Communication written by Susan Gillis Chapman and published by Shambhala Publications. This book was released on 2012-04-10 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Good communiation is essential to any healthy relationship, whether it's between spouses, family members, friends, or co-workers. In this book Susan Chapman, a marriage and family therapist and a longtime meditation teacher, explains how mindfulness can be brought to bear in the way we speak and listen to each other so that we can strengthen our connections and better accomplish our goals. Drawing on Buddhist principles and on her training as a psychotherapist, Chapman explains how the practice of mindfulness—learning to become fully present in the moment—makes it possible for us to listen more deeply to others and to develop greater clarity and confidence about how to respond. Chapman highlights five key elements of mindful communication: silence, mirroring, encouraging, discerning, and responding, and she dedicates a chapter of the book to each. Other topics include identifying your communication patterns and habits; uncovering the hidden fears that often sabotage communication; staying open in the midst of difficult conversations so that we can respond wisely and skillfully; and learning how mindful communication can help us to become more truthful, compassionate, and flexible in our relationships.

Download or read book Yoga s Effect on the Creative Process in Art Therapy written by Shell Tracy R and published by . This book was released on 2023-03-22 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Creativity is perhaps the most important factor contributing to human happiness and adaptation, and yet there is little known about initiating and maintaining creative states commonly referred to as flow. In a time of global population expansion, economic uncertainty and political chaos, the challenges we currently face are without precedent. Creativity is implicated in workplace success, healthy psychological functioning, and the maintenance of healthy interpersonal relationships (Csikszentmihalyi, 1990). Psychologists, medical doctors and researchers are beginning to recognize the healing power of creative flow and understand its ability to advance the field of psychology and improve people's lives. This research is an investigation into the mind-body connection through a practice of Hatha Yoga and its impact on the creative process. This study purposes to evaluate the efficacy of integrating a practice of Hatha Yoga with positive psychology, mindfulness, and art therapy directives into an intervention to beneficially influence the creative process and increase overall well-being in adults.
