Take Up Yoga

• Adopting a regular yoga practice not only revitalizes your body, but it also helps calm an overactive mind. Yogic exercises vary depending on the style. Some types of yoga, such as Bikram yoga or hot yoga, involve intense heat and physical activity. Kundalini yoga uses a variety of deep and fast movements to activate the energy in your body. Hatha yoga, a gentler and quieter form, is the most commonly taught form in gyms in the United States. Raja yoga works on increasing self-realization. All types of yoga, however, provide great health benefits, such as reducing blood pressure, increasing flexibility and creating a sense of inner peace.
  
  

Practice Qigong

• Qigong is an ancient Chinese practice, one that is enjoying a resurgence of interest both in China and in the West. The goal of qigong is to develop an awareness of the energy, or chi, in your body and to use that energy to heal yourself. Going through a series of movements and deep breathing exercises can help reduce blood pressure, increase circulation and boost your immune system.
  
  

Try Meditation

• Long a staple of Eastern religions, meditation has increased in popularity in the West over the years. Although all forms of meditation can increase your ability to concentrate and reduce your stress, the types vary significantly. Insight meditation, for instance, focuses on following a particular thought or idea while you meditate. Siddha yoga, a form of Hindi yoga and meditation, involves chanting from spiritual texts. Even meditating for 10 minutes a day can improve your health.
