Without proper self-care, even the most well-adjusted person can suffer from mental stress, believe me, I have had my share of it. It affects not just the ability to think and process information, but can have major effects on your body. Many people dealing with mental stress, claim to experience a general malaise, a fatigue which crushes ambition and hinders their ability to handle the minor stresses of life. Mindfulness-based therapy can be helpful to those who feel overwhelmed by stress while adding a low risk self assessment.
Over the years of testing and trying different modalities, I’ve rated meditation as one of the best mindfulness-based therapy strategies. Meditation varies in application--from spiritual meditation to mantra recitation--but each type can be extremely helpful to those who practice it.
My favorite daily practice is Kundalini Yoga Meditations and Techniques.
