  • Abstract
    Epilepsy is caused by sudden flurries of electrochemical activity in the brain, which interrupt the \´conversation\´ among neurons. Consciousness, memory, sense, speech, mood, movement, and motions can all be affected during the one or two minutes that the seizure lasts. Walking, jogging, running and stationary bicycling are particularly safe, but especially "Prayer type yoga exercise" clearly benefits epileptic inhabitants to control epilepsy because it often reduces seizure frequency, relieves depression, decreases social segregation, and promotes cardiac and general health. This paper proposes the study about yoga "Prayer", which is not really an exercise but similar to yoga, helping in controlling of epilepsy and also physically, mentally, spiritually relaxation can also be achieved through this method. Spiritual religious believe and practices have an important impact on both physical and mental health.
