Come for the 2nd BMHA talk on 18/2/2017 (Saturday, 3-5 pm) at Sentul Buddhist Temple on 'Medicines For The Mind: The Good, Bad & Confusing."

A 10-minute FREE consultation on your psychiatric medications is available at Sentul Buddhist Temple Free Clinic on 19/2/2017 (Sunday, 10 am to 12 pm).

I use medicines for the treatment of mental health conditions BUT…

1. The talk is NOT sponsored by pharmaceutical companies. I don't make money by selling the medicines…
2. I apply skillful means and 'psychology' to enhance the positive effects of the medicines…
3. At times, I don't use medicines; I practice counseling and psychotherapy (e.g. cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness therapy)…
4. I use the medicines only when it's necessary and based on individual needs…
5. I educate people on how to get medicines at a cheaper rate…

Come for the talk if you're interested in hearing my honest and sincere views about psychiatric medications. See you…

Metta,
Dr. Phang

PMR Made Clear & Simple


















When we are under stress, one of the changes in the body is muscular tension, especially those around the neck, shoulders and face. This can lead to physical pain, restlessness, tiredness and more stress. When the breathing muscles are tensed, it can also lead to difficulty in breathing. Oxygenation of the brain will be poor, and this naturally worsens the stress reaction. One effective way to overcome this is by using a relaxation technique known as Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR). PMR was first introduced by an American physician by the name Dr. Edmund Jacobson. This is an effective technique for relaxing the muscles in the body, which in turn calms the mind. Since its introduction in the nineteen thirties, there have been many versions of PMR. The one introduced here consists of 10 basic postures, and each posture involves alternatively tensing and relaxing a different group of muscles in the body. The subsequent figures and instructions will guide you on the basic steps involved in PMR.
