　　Is there an antidote to anxiety? "I'm very frightened," said Julie White. But she has a remedy: the stretching and deep breathing of yoga. The practice is so calming that after the terror upgrade, White made an upgrade of her own--from one class a day to two. she says, "Yoga is my tranquilizer."

　　我们有没有对付焦虑的良药呢？“我非常害怕，”Julie White说。不过，她有应付之道：瑜伽术的肢体伸展和深呼吸。这一练习可以使她平静下来，效果极佳，以至当恐怖升级以后，White将她的练习也升了级——从一天一次课到一天两次。她说：“瑜伽是我的镇定剂。”

　　You may find the lotus pose hopelessly warm and fuzzy in the face of terror. But there are a host of activities, from working out to going for a massage, that can temper the anxiety. Many of these techniques have been used for decades, if not centuries; now advances in science are showing they can reduce the hormones associated with stress and even affect brain activity. The common trait among all: maintaining control and recognizing that our concerns are a natural response to the world we live in.

　　你可能会觉得，面对恐怖，打莲花坐不会有效果。但是很多活动都可以缓解焦虑，从锻炼到按摩。这些技巧有很多已使用了几十年，甚至数百年；现在，随着科学的进步，它们能减少与焦虑有关的荷尔蒙含量，甚至能影响大脑活动。所有这些方法的共同点：保持控制，并认识到担心只是我们对我们所生活的这个世界的一种自然反应。
