Your mind and body are powerful allies. How you think can affect how you feel. And how you feel can affect your thinking.

An example of this mind-body connection is how your body responds to stress. Constant worry and stress over jobs, finances, or other problems can cause tense muscles, pain, headaches, and stomach problems. It may also lead to high blood pressure or other serious problems.

Mind-body therapies are healing techniques that promote relaxation and encourage mindfulness. These therapies use the body to affect the mind, and vice versa. Some common mind-body therapies include:

• Acupuncture
• Art Therapy
• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) 
• Group Therapy 
• Guided Imagery 
• Meditation
• Music Therapy
• Qigong
• Tai Chi 
• Yoga
