 Sometimes called psychoneuroimmunology (PNI), these approaches are based on the concept that the mind or brain can influence the body's ability to fight disease. Mind-body approaches such as meditation, visualization and guided imagery cannot probably help one will away HIV, but one can use any of them to make living with your condition easier, and maybe even reduce susceptibility to AIDS-related infections. Meditation Meditation uses deep breathing or other focusing techniques to enable a person to center his or her thoughts. Meditation may be used to reduce tension, fatigue, or anxiety and increase resistance to stress. Getting the stress out of your life may help you resist certain infections, and will enable you to handle any adversity that may come from living with HIV or AIDS. Yoga Nidra Yoga nidra is a hypnagogic state of psychic sleep reached by systematically inducing complete physical, mental and emotional relaxation. As in meditation, one emerges from yoga nidra feeling more rested and relaxed than after a good night's sleep. |
