Heal through Yoga and meditation

Umm...ok? I respect what you're trying to say here, but you make many unsupported claims in this small essay. Claims need evidentiary support, so when you say Yoga has healing properties, you should follow that up with an example or two of people in the news who were healed with Yoga. This should be easy, because you also said Yoga's healing power is drawing "much attention in international circles". You use tourist interest as validation of the usefulness of Yoga, but this is a weak claim without support. How many tourists continue practicing after they take the class, compared to the number who never took it seriously to begin with, but just wanted the experience to post on Facebook? I'd be very interested to see what support you could come up with and what conclusions you could draw from what you find.

Welcome to the forum.

Flossing is very underrated. Meditate a few minutes less every day and spend them taking good care of your teeth.

I can say is Meditation helps with blood presser and hart rate buy more then you think.  Those 2 things will help you in the long run. Yoga will help with flexibility and joint pain. There have been lots of study's that tell you that. 
I do not do Yoga but I do meditate and do ti-chi.

as a side note all 3 things help with stress.
  Flossing is good too but I would put the phone down to give time for that.

I think yoga and meditation were not allowed in Christian religion

In Psalms it talks about meditating, so it's allowed. And nowhere does it say stretching is bad.

Perhaps, "therapeutic" would have been better than just "healing". Stretching exercises are good therapy for joints and muscles.

Meditation has many psychological benefits, not the least of which is producing a calming state.

It is (I believe there have been studies done to support it) suggested that thoughts can produce a physiological response in our bodies, so it stands to reason that the practice of meditation could provide a healing factor, if you meditate towards such a goal.

I mean, fear tends to stimulate adrenaline and laughing, serotonin/endorphins. It's not too far fetched to think that meditation could recruit the bodies own healing mechanisms.

Yes, some studies do support the healing effects. One important consideration is the source of such claims. Make sure to research and find unbiased sources when possible.

 Does he/she also say "Oo ee oo ah ah ting tang walla walla bing bang"? Cause if so, I'd consider switching Witch Doctors.

I want to get into meditation; I have a few good books on it, my favorite is Meditation 24/7, comes with a CD. Also, Slaying the Three Dragons by Antho Strano was enlightening as well, a very warm feeling too.

Check out the site Calm.com. You can set a time limit for some guided meditation. great site. I believe they have an app too.

Ok that was working for me -  http://www.calm.com/   - 'til they threw the phones in my face.

The different typeface Jackieg used made me think her awkwardly worded essay was a cut-and-paste, so I Googled the first line, and I found the same essay over and over in forums everywhere, always with the same title, always by a member with only one post.

Yeeeeah, I'm pretty sure this is a spambot.

Oh, the phone app. I thought you meant they threw a phone at you, Naomi Campbell style.

What an ill behaved supervillainmodel NC has been. But I did enjoy the relaxing mood until, yes, the phone app intruded.
