...Coping with depression is not easy, and severe depression is truly a tough road to travel. Yet, Yoga contains many alternative methods to lift your spirits beside Laughter Yoga. Hatha Yoga has many aspects, which will aid anyone in times of depression. A Yoga teacher is not a substitute for a psychiatrist, but Yoga practice is beneficial for a holistic approach to mental, spiritual, physical, and emotional health.

One way to lift your spirits is to practice Yoga postures (asanas), which will raise your endorphin levels. Endorphins are hormone-like substances. Endorphins naturally occur, within your body, containing amino acids, which attach to receptors, and stop pain signals to the brain.

Chocolate could also raise your endorphin levels, but chocolate should be consumed in moderation. Otherwise, over consumption of chocolate, which contains plenty of fat, may result in taking on the shape of a truffle.

Laughter Yoga - Laughter Heals Body, Mind, and Soul

...is good for the heart and improves blood circulation.

8.Laughter is anti-aging! It tones facial muscles and increases blood supply to the face, which nourishes the skin and gives it a healthy glow.

9.Internal organs are stimulated when you laugh which enhances efficiency of vital organs and improves digestion and bowel movement.

10.Because laughter increases the secretion of endorphins, it can help reduce cravings for chocolate and other comfort foods.

Laughter Yoga Sessions

The sessions do not use humor to invoke laughter; you won't find people sitting in a circle taking turns telling jokes or using humor to make each other laugh. Instead, a Laughter Yoga session consists of a series of exercises which include simulated laughter, yoga techniques, funny gestures, systematic giggling and guffawing, and improv-like activities. You don't have to be happy to laugh and you don't need a reason to laugh: scientists and doctors agree that fake or simulated laughter has the same physiological effects as spontaneous laughter. That is, fake it until you make it.

Although some simple Yoga techniques are incorporated into Laughter Yoga sessions--such as deep breathing with inhalation through the nose and prolonged exhalation, as well as shoulder, neck and stretching exercises--you won't be asked to ...more

...levision.

The last thing to consider is the game lineup. I purchased my Xbox 360 the day it launched (how is another story) and with it I bought: Madden 2006, Call of Duty 2, Need for Speed, Perfect Dark Zero and NBA 2K6 (Im not rich, its called credit). To my surprise Perfect Dark Zero and Call of Duty 2 quickly stood out as the better games graphically and had pretty good game-play. If youve ever played a first person shooter such as Halo, there shouldnt be any problem popping these in without much of a learning curve. NBA 2K6 is definitely a must-have and is leaps and bounds better than its Xbox predecessor. Madden and Need for Speed were pretty disappointing considering they seemed to be ports from the original Xbox and nothing more. The line-up, as of now, is still in its infancy and is not enough to make you HAVE to own this system immediately. However, Im a gaming nut and I would have been extremely disappointed had I not had this system on launch day.

Recommendation: purchase this system as soon as it is financially viable. The killer apps are in the pipeworks!

...er tools for the job.

The most common source of the XBOX 360 three red lights error however is the loosening of soldering points due to the heating up of the mainboard, which causes it to flex.

If your XBOX 360 is showing the three red lights you basically have two options:

A) Send it in for repair

B) Fix the problem yourself

Option A has some substantial drawbacks...more
