Today's
life is full of stress. Although we have reached a high level of
increasing tension and fatigue. Despite our modern achievements, many
people feel restless and unhappy, because life is not in balance any
more. Environmental stress and bad personal habits also add to this
strain. All this results in various physical and mental diseases such
as depression, high blood pressure, heart disease and even cancer.

People
tend to think of Yoga as complicated stretching exercises. Yet the most
helpful of these exercises, also called asanas, are not very difficult
to practice. It only takes a little time to develop the flexibility of
our joints. More importantly, asanas also work on a deeper level: by
subtle pressure on the glands of our body, they balance our hormones.
Hormones play a key role in our overall health and well-being. Almost
all physical and mental diseases can be linked to an imbalance in the
glands of our body. |
There
is more to Yoga than asanas. Meditation is a systematic and scientific
way to gently focus the mind. The body's response to meditation is just
the opposite of its reaction to stress. Meditation calms the central
nervous system as well as our breathing, heart rate and blood pressure.
The regular practice of meditation broadens the scope of your mind,
helping you to develop a keener sense of intuition and a deeper
understanding of yourself and the world around you. People who meditate
typically experience a state of deep inner peace and harmony, which in
turn leads to more intense and lasting feelings of happiness and
fulfillment. read more
