Meditation induces a peaceful state of mind and may ease health
problems such as anxiety, stress, pain, insomnia, depression, and
other mood disorders. How meditation works is a mystery, but some
scientists hypothesize that it affects the autonomic or
involuntary part of the body's nervous system that regulates
automatic body functions like heartbeat, breathing, and
digestion.
Yoga was developed over 5,000 years ago in India as a path to
spiritual enlightenment. A combination of rhythmic breathing,
meditation, and stretches known as poses are used to strengthen
the body and calm the mind. Of the different forms of yoga, hatha
yoga in particular may help reduce stress. Yoga also improves
balance and flexibility and may alleviate chronic medical
conditions like depression, asthma, and arthritis. According to
several recent studies, relaxation techniques like meditation and
yoga can help to alleviate stress, anxiety, and trouble sleeping
and improve other aspects of physical and mental health.

that she is his high school crush. He begins to vacuum the car

naked. He panics and hides in the car. The man has a conversation
with Maria, attempting to get her number for Chris, but she
declines and leaves. Chris' best friend, Bud, is working at a
computer shop, where his sister, Trina, pulls up in her car.
