Why is there not more people in here who talk about the effects of yoga / meditation on bipolar patients? With the right kind of tools and a daily commitment, it can make a tremendous difference. Doctors are even recognising how meditation practices could play a role in managing symptoms.

Personally, I’m a big fan of “Isha practices”. I do hours of yoga and meditation on a daily basis, and it has been absolutely life changing. I’ve been episode free for well over a year, and I’ve become quite well and emotionally balanced.

Why is this not more widely recognised in here, and why is there not more people who give it a go? Sure, it is understandable if someone who are having an episode cannot be convinced to sit and meditate, but once a little stability comes, could one not find 20 minutes in a day to sit down and do a process for one’s own wellbeing?
