Equinox Gyms Want to Help You Relax

~For The Los Angeles Times by Jeannine Stein

Feeling a little anxious about the economic crisis? Hyperventilating as you watch your stock portfolio climb and plummet like the Viper ride at Magic Mountain?

For members of Equinox gyms, some help may be at hand.

The high-end national gym chain is rolling out extra meditation classes and sessions in response to the high anxiety levels that some may be experiencing. It is, the company hopes, a healthier alternative to downing a quart or two of Haagen-Dazs Fleur de Sel Caramel Reserve ice cream or burying oneself under massive amounts of blankets.

As the corporate news release says, "Studies have shown that along with a daily exercise routine, adding meditation almost always leads to positive changes in our lives. Practicing meditation leaves you more relaxed and ‘in tune’ throughout the day, and in a better position to handle stress and adversity."

Dr. Oz on Hypnotherapy

"Like guided imagery, hypnosis uses the focused power of the mind and imagination to improve health, change a behavior like smoking or achieve emotional balance. In a relaxed state of concentrated attention, ideas and suggestions seem to have a powerful impact on the mind."

Oprah on Meditation

"We believe in meditating. I believe in meditating in the tub with some very nice bath products. You can sit in the chair, you can sit on the floor, you can sit in the window, you can sit in the tub. I give myself at least ten minutes every day in some form of meditation. I happen to like the tub."
