Karmic Yoga and the Necessary Mindset
...e is another side to it. There are people who are very thankful, loving and kind who you meet along the way. You touch their lives deeply. Some of them can pull themselves up out of hunger, poverty and crime, just because you have been working with them. It is as if you, like the hand of God, are supplying their needs and helping them to grow and become stronger. If you do Karmic Yoga this will happen to you along with the rest, along with the rotten stuff. The progress will come as you learn to let go of the negative.
When you come to accept the negative as well as the positive and to realize that all of these actions, the negative and the positive, are working to polish your soul like a mirror, so that it may be a perfect reflection of God, you will have arrived. This is the lesson of Karmic Yoga. This is the outcome. You cant get to the enlightenment, however, you cant get to the large tomatoes, without spreading the manure. When you, or if you, decide to take on a life of service and to become a Karmic Yogi, remember what you must face. Remember that the good will come with the bad and remember that one day you will realize that the good and the bad all come from the same source and can have the same purpose in your life, the purpose of awakening the divine in your heart. Hold onto these beliefs throughout the glories, tumultuous ride and you will reach a place of total peace and joy in the midst of the fire.more

The Benefit of Yoga - Fight or Flight?
...me types of diabetes mellitius, some cardio-vascular diseases, and irritable bowel syndrome would be at the forefront of human conditions and the quality of life today.
Outside stress is reflected in the reaction of our nervous system. The input stimuli, known as "Fight or flight" affects both our metabolism and well being. When faced with danger, whether real or imagined, the mind prepares the body for execution of one of these two conditions. Manifestation is in the form of increased heart rate, higher blood pressure, and the shutting down of unnecessary bodily functions, such as digestion. All systems are focused on one of two things - either "flight" or "fight." Breathing becomes shallow, muscles tense in anticipation of action, and blood flow to vital organs is decreased.
