Yes, however, these effects of culture are becoming less of a hindrance to your own favorite modern approach than say, a decade ago. As society is progressing, more people are accepting things that seem effective, than blindly following them.Joseph_ngaruiya wrote: ↑20 Aug 2020, 14:10Mostly, homogeneous cultures are strict on following social norms. These habits can hinder individuals from using a modern approach to solve stress and anxiety.

Yes, but if you feel that much pressure from your culture that you have to practise your remedies in seclusion, that the culture may play a major part of the stress you are feeling.Joseph_ngaruiya wrote: ↑20 Aug 2020, 14:13Since meditation can be done in seclusion, it’s a good remedy in a culture where going public with your issues is prohibited.rahilshajahan wrote: ↑18 Aug 2020, 09:48 It should be that culture shouldn't come in ones way of improving oneself. If meditating helps you, you do it; your culture shouldn't have a say in it.

Natural remedies are equally accessible to most people anywhere around the world. In fact, I cannot of any reason why industrialized nations have less access to natural remedies. Also, the natural remedies mentioned in this book also do not seem more accessible to any culture in general.Joseph_ngaruiya wrote: ↑20 Aug 2020, 14:15On the contrary, not all cultures in third world are marginalized.

Yes, that is true. I can totally see some rejection of technology taking apart in stress reliefs. As many people believe that technology has a major part to play in stress, which is partially true, and oppose the use of, suppose, VR in treatment.

I disagree. Some settings allow natural methods to be easily accessible. In some developed countries, those living in the cities would need to make a 30 minutes drive to a park. While in other countries the natural environment is practically everywhere. Culture and proximity are core obstacles in some places.Howlan wrote: ↑21 Aug 2020, 12:39Natural remedies are equally accessible to most people anywhere around the world.

Even reading is a challenge in some cultures that are bogged down by poverty and disease. Their access to tips like the ones given in this book can only be taught practically.

It can be difficult to accept change but it is something that is essential for the growth and spread of the culture as a whole. Stress and Anxiety too, as days go by its form, cause and effect changes so on must remain acceptable to changes.Joseph_ngaruiya wrote: ↑22 Aug 2020, 15:01Times have changed, and societies are prone to make changes to old cultural norms.

Yes, culture is beneficial to you as it gives you a sense of belonging, but I think every culture has some form of stress reliever that helps you out. So, if it is difficult to adapt then you can practise your native remedies instead.Joseph_ngaruiya wrote: ↑22 Aug 2020, 15:02Understanding the culture that you are in can help you know how to adapt and practice the remedies given by Kinrys in this book.Howlan wrote: ↑21 Aug 2020, 12:38Yes, but if you feel that much pressure from your culture that you have to practise your remedies in seclusion, that the culture may play a major part of the stress you are feeling.Joseph_ngaruiya wrote: ↑20 Aug 2020, 14:13
Since meditation can be done in seclusion, it’s a good remedy in a culture where going public with your issues is prohibited.

Every nation has a countryside that you can go to if you feel a craving for nature. And I do not think that a time span of thirty minutes to reach a park can make nature as a stress reliever any accessible.Joseph_ngaruiya wrote: ↑22 Aug 2020, 15:07I disagree.

Yes, and if the natural remedies are not able to contain their stress, then medications are hard to come by. In these cultures really it is difficult to implement the ideas laid out in this book.Joseph_ngaruiya wrote: ↑22 Aug 2020, 15:09Even reading is a challenge in some cultures that are bogged down by poverty and disease.
