i just did yoga for the first time in quite a while because my lower back was acting up again. trouble turning, lifting, or otherwise getting around. the cramping didn’t help any, so i resort to ages old methods of healing these ailments.

yoga, and in this paticular instance, hatha yoga was developed to help the body stretch and align in ways that promote good circulation of both blood and nerves. when i keep it up, my chiropractor ends up not doing much because the yoga is doing his job.

my head suddenly feels much clearer. a few things stretched and popped in my body and i feel like my brain just snapped back in the alignment with the rest of me.

in “newage” terms, i just re-aligned my chakras and did breathing excersices to ground me and help cleanse my aura.

so someone says “HA! i knew it! you are one of those newager freaks and you’ve been holding out!”. well, no, not really. i grew up around it. Mom was always very into all that. she often did psychic fairs and past life readings as well. until a bad depression put her on prozac, she always had uncanny abilities to know and see things. because of her i know a true fake when i see one. some other stuff i just thought was silly. sorry mom, but the crystal/pyramid thing i never did buy. i still love you though.

anyway, on with what i was saying. the auras and the chakras can be proven by scientific intruments. the body has energy and currents, that’s just fact. ancient people knew this without some bottle washer and button sorter telling them. another thing that they also knew, and that i can agree with, is that our mind has a great deal of power over the rest our body.

again, science here has proven direct corrolations between stress and anxiety and our health. worry and anxiety killed my paternal grandmother before i was born. it caused heart problems with my father. it weakens our immune system… the list goes on. i too am pre-disposed to worry and stress and cause myself problems.

while science has done a great deal to help us, the best road to health has always been recognizing when you start making yourself sick. take a step back, do some yoga, go walking, meditate, excersice, relax. remember that when you go looking for medical problems, you usually find one. even if its not there (and yes, i know the name for that psychological condition).
