De-Stress With Yoga

"These days, yoga gets more love than whoever's staring in The Bachelor. And for good reason. Yoga could very well be the ultimate de-stress technique. It lowers blood pressure and heart rate, decreases stress hormones, and increases relaxation hormones like serotonin, dopamine, and endorphins. You can get the benefits of yoga in a single pose or in a full-fledged class." -- You Staying Young

The Three Trainings

"The more you practice the three trainings of ethics, meditation, and wisdom, the more difficult it will become for you to act in a way that is contrary to an ethical, compassionate attitude. Ethics arise naturally out of contemplating the three trainings."

Martine Batchelor, "Meditation for Life"

Feeling Inadequate?

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us." ~ Marianne Williamson

Close your eyes. In your mind's eye, observe a white sheet of paper. Breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth. Feel the breath on the back of your throat. Listen to your breath.

Feel positive energy magnetizing itself to your body. Visualize the positive energy as it soaks into your body, saturating it with positive, motivating, happy, joyful energy.

Your aura is full of positive energy that reaches out and touches even those people who you see in passing. There is a noticable lightness to your aura. Positive people are magnetized to you. Positive situations are magnetized to you. Positive opportunities are magnetized to you.

Challenge for the next 24 hours: Smile. You will feel the change.
