Blast Away Your Negative Stress With Yoga
By: Jeff Smith
Will you be able to manage the stress in your life?
It seems that everyday brings more and more stress. Yoga is a terrific way to counter all the stressors in today's fast-paced society.
Now it's clear, not all stress is equal.
All stresses place demands on your life. Stress turns negative if you perceive that demand to be outside of your control.
Yoga is a powerful way to bring control back into your life, allowing you to change the way you percieve demands reducing negative stress in your life.
Your yoga program will directly confront the negative stress in your life, making you more prepared to take on the demands of positive stress - helping you to grow spiritually, emotionally and intellectually.
The more relaxing Hatha Yoga could easily be used to wind down from a very stressful day, or you could choose forms of power Yoga such as Ashtanga where you can loose yourself in yoga poses that help you build strength and stamina.
Too many people turn to harmful methods to help overcome the lack of control in their lives.
They turn to alchohol, cigarettes, overworking, drugs or simply giving up on their dreams and ambitions in life.
Will you escape the life of the captive monkey who eventually gives up trying to escape their prison?
Will you open your mind, heart and schedule to Yoga?
Use relaxation yoga to free you from life's negative stress, you will be amazed at the results.

How to Benefit from the Mind-Body Connection
(excerpt)
You are about to gain insight into the
mind-body connection. The number of
people who truly understand these principles on our
planet are relatively few.
There is an undeniable connection between our minds and
bodies, you can learn
to use this fact to your benefit.
Dr. Bernie Siegel, author of "Love, Medicine and
Miracles" was once a
distraught cancer surgeon until he
began to understand the greater principles
of the mind-
body connection. He felt dragged down by the artificial
barriers
that existed between patient and doctor, and the
helplessness he often felt as
a result of his inability
to effectively serve those patients. Eventually, those
barriers
were disintegrated by Dr. Siegel's recognition
and growing understanding of the
mind-body connection and
how it could serve his patients and himself.
Dr. Siegel, or Bernie as he began to have his patients
refer to him, had some
startling realizations as a cancer surgeon. He found that
there were actually
quite a few people in the world that successfully beat
the statistics on cancer
survival. He began to recognize that a patient's ability
to defeat something as
serious as cancer had to do with the patient's mind and
attitude about their
disease.
