The text by Davis et al. (2008) points out that the stressors faced by anxiety disorder subjects are normal. It is the way that such subjects respond that is problematic. Therefore, employing Yoga-oriented strategies can help to arm patients with a normal response capability. As Davis et al. note, "tension is a normal part of your daily routine, and you need an exercise that will help you let off steam. . . . If you feel that 'your glass is half empty' by the end of your workday, then a set of centering exercises like yoga or tai chi may be just what you need.

This breathing will guide the subject as he or she enters into a state of meditation, serving as a rhythm to keep the mind occupied and away from all other distractions. The attitude refers to the passivity which must be adopted in order to allow the physical exercise of Yoga to segue into the more mental aspects of meditation.

Alternative Medicine CAM refers to complementary, alternative, or integrative medicine. Sometimes the terms are used interchangeably, but they actually mean different things to practitioners. The term complementary "generally refers to using a non-mainstream approach together with conventional medicine (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2013).

In this case, the conventional or traditional medicine is medical practices by clinical doctors, holders
