YOU GOT STRESS?

There seems to be a virus going about at the moment called STRESS. I am meeting way too many people that are on the edge right now. It's hardly surprising given the current financial situation of the country. 

Worry and stressful thinking can affect our well being. So we must do something to reduce our stress, especially in times like now.

If you don't take the time to enjoy a few minutes of relaxation -  begin today. There's no time like the present moment. Sometimes I think people take better care of their cars than they do their bodies. They keep them clean, well fueled, lubricated, and in good working condition.

Think about it. What do you do when your car gives you a warning that something is wrong? But what about your body - what  If you let all this stress get to you over time ? The effects will be devastating on your health, your family and your life!

I began practising yoga about seven years ago, it is one of the best things I ever did. So I just want to share a little of this with you, perhaps it will help give you some peace of mind.

Absolutely anyone can do yoga,the fat,the thin,the beautiful,the ugly,the old, the young,the sick,the healthy,the rich,the poor. You do not have to be fit or flexible - I have taught yoga to people in wheel chairs and people who are confined to their beds.

How does yoga heal your body? - Almost immediately your body responds positively to deep breathing and stretching. You begin to relax.

The postures help you to become strong and flexible.Your internal organs are toned. Regular practise also helps to regulate your metabolism and the functioning of your glands and organs as well as strenghtening the nervous system and mind. It will move you towards positive thinking which creates an attitude of respect and self acceptance towards your body so that you can take better care of it. You acheive overall balance in your life which over time time will help you to  become mentally stronger and able to deal with the stressful situations in your life.

So find a teacher who you enjoy and stick with it - try some gentle relaxing yoga - it will make a difference to your life...........
