Excessive stress is harmful to academic performance in children and may lead to dropping out of school. To meet the demands of a modern life-style which is full of speed, stress and tension, an all-round child health program is crucial. The use of yoga for children has diverse applications in maintaining and developing their physical, mental, intellectual, emotional and spiritual levels. Yoga, through its physical postures (asana), breathing practices (pranayama), cleansing techniques (kriya), meditation therapies (dhyana) and relaxation training (yoga nidra) yields a positive effect in the management of stress in children. Yoga practice benefited children by improving their eye-hand coordination, attention span, levels of concentration, competitive performance and relaxation. Visually impaired children showed a significant decrease in their abnormal anxiety levels when they practiced yoga for three weeks, while a program of physical activity had no such effect. Socially disadvantaged children in a remand home showed significant improvements in sleep, appetite and general well being, as well as a decrease in physiological arousal after yoga. In one study, it is found that a 4-week program of asana and meditation lowers the aggressive behavior of children. Meditation helped to reduce problems related to maladaptive behavior, increase emotional and physical health and psychological well-being in children. Finally, the possible role of yoga in improving the mental state and general well-being of children with cancer is being explored.

Yoga is an ancient Indian system of life, encompassing various practices including practices for self-discipline and also for regulating the health states of the individual, being practiced for thousands of years. The present study aims at understanding the effect of two high frequency breathing practices over autonomic nervous system. Forty healthy male volunteers of age $21{\pm}2$ years with $9{\pm}3$ months of Yoga practice experience were recruited. The two high frequency Yoga breathing practices, kapalabhati (KB) and bhastrika (BH) were given as interventions randomly on either of the two days to minimise laboratory bias. They were assessed before and immediately after the interventions for heart rate, respiratory rate, heart rate variability (HRV), blood pressure and peripheral oxygen saturation. There was a significant increase in heart rate (p<0.01; p<0.001), systolic blood pressure (p<0.01; p<0.001), NN50 (p<0.01; p<0.001) component of HRV for both KB and BH groups respectively. There was a significant reduction in respiratory rate in both the groups (p<0.001, and p<0.05, BH and KB respectively) immediately following intervention. A significant increase in LF component of HRV and reduction in Diastolic blood pressure and high frequency (HF)component following KB was also observed (p<0.05, for all comparisons). The Mean peripheral oxygen saturation remained unaltered in both the groups (p>0.05).The results suggest that high frequency yoga breathing practices induce physiological arousal immediately as evidenced by increased blood pressure and heart rate. The sympathetic arousal was more following KB session as evidenced by an increased diastolic blood pressure, LF power and a decrease in HF power of HRV as compared to the BH session.

"포박자내편(抱朴子內篇)"의 주요 내용은 도(道)와 일(一)과 현(玄)을 중심으로 한 우주본체론을 중심으로 전개되는 신선이론과 '사람마다 도를 닦아 선을 이룰 수 있다'는 주장의 근거가 되는 '신선존재의 논증' 문제, 도교법술(道敎法術), 그리고 연단술(煉丹術)을 설명하는 고대과학(古代科學)등으로 이루어져 있다. 다시 말해서 "내편(內篇)"은 신선(神仙)의 도(道), 선인(仙人)이 되기 위한 약의 처방, 귀신요괴 변화의 여러 가지 상(相), 불노장수(不老長壽)를 얻는 방법 그리하여 사악(邪惡)을 벗어나고 화(禍)를 피하는 방법을 서술하고 있다. 이렇게 "내편"은 신선이론을 바탕으로 하는 양생사상, 수도(修道)의 철학적 함의 그리고 그 신비주의적 종교의 근거를 제시하고 있다. "내편"은 선진시대의 도가철학과 진한시대와 위진시대를 아우르는 신선사상을 종합하여 현실적으로 불노장생의 신선에 도달하는 방법을 구체적으로 제시하였다. 그리고 "내편"은 내단과 외단 도교 수행체계의 전형이 제시되어 있어서 도교(양생)사상사에서 중요한 위치를 점하고 있다. 양생사상은 바로 "내편"의 매우 중요한 내용이고 이는 갈홍이 건립한 신선도교의 중요한 이론적 기초를 이룬다. "내편"은 도교의 양생사상을 한 눈에 살펴볼 수 있다는 점에서 연구의 필요성이 절실하게 요구 된다. 이 논문은 바로 "내편" 속에 나타난 양생사상의 전체 모습을 밝히는 것을 목적으로 한다. 본문에서는 "내편"에 나타난 양생사상의 이론적 기초인 도론(道論), 형신론(形神論), 성명론(性命論), 신선론에 대한 분석 작업을 먼저 진행한 후에 이를 바탕으로 행기법(行氣法), 도인법(導引法), 조식(調息), 폐기(閉氣), 태식(胎息), 복기(服氣), 토납(吐納), 사신수일법(思神守一法), 현일(玄一), 진일(眞一), 금액환단법(金液還丹法), 방중술(房中術) 등의 양생법의 구체적 내용을 하나하나 살펴보았다. 그리고 끝으로 "내편" 양생사상의 특징을 밝혀보고 그 가치를 따져보았다.
