Simple ways to deal with stress on your own

Hello everyone. My name is Dr. Achal Gupta and I am a physiotherapist for past 9 years. I am also a Heal Your Life teacher and life. My healing Centre is named Heaven of Health and it is in North Delhi. My center is equipped with latest important machines for best care services in a soothing and healing environment.

In my so many years of practice, I have seen that the fruits of every disease lie in the emotional and behavior pattern of the patience. And the disturbance of these emotions lie in lack of self-love. So I would like to tell you some of the ways to love yourself which I have also given in my book 'Seven Secrets of Loving Yourself'.

• The first is to take care of your body. Your body is a temple you live in taking care of body and appreciating the physical world you are in. It really really helps a positive flow of energy through your body and your mind.
• The second way of loving yourself is to be your own cheerleader. When you appreciate yourself and praise yourself your soul source high and the flow of positive energy is enormous through your being. ​
• The Third way of loving yourself is claiming the power and the power is always in the present moment when we are focusing on the present moment and be mindful positively on the present.

The sciatic nerve is one of the largest nerves in the body. It goes from the lower back all the way down to the base of the leg. When there is a disorder associated with the sciatic nerve, it is known as Sciatica. 

Sciatica, however, does not necessarily need a surgery or a very elaborate procedure to fix the problem. Most commonly, it is treated simply by practicing a number of simple exercises. Here are some of the most common exercises prescribed to treat Sciatica:

1. Reclining Pigeon Pose: There are three main forms of the pigeon pose. These are sitting, reclining and then forwarding. It is recommended that if you have very recently started your treatment for Sciatica, then certainly you should go for the reclining pose. In this pose, you are supposed to hold your left leg in the air at a right angle to your back. Then, hold your ankle against the knee. Finally, repeat this stretch with the right leg as well.
2. Knee to Opposite Shoulder: In this stretch, the starting position is on your back side. You have to have your legs out and feet upwards. From this position, try to bring your right leg towards your left shoulder. Hold this for 30 seconds and then release and relax. Repeat this activity three times and repeat the whole procedure with your other leg. Only take your leg as far as it goes.
3. Sitting Spinal Stretch: At the start of this exercise, sit on the ground with your legs going straight outwards and your feet flexed in the upward direction. Pull your left knee and put it on the outside of your right knee. Finally, place your right elbow on the left knee, so that your body turns to the left. Hold for 30 seconds and then relax. Repeat the procedure with the other knee.
4. Standing Hamstring Stretch: Put your foot on an elevated surface such that it is above the floor, but not above hip level. Flex your toes forward such that your feet and legs are nearly in a straight line. Bend as far towards the foot as possible. However, do not stretch so far that you feel pain. Finally, repeat this procedure on the other side after release.
