Yoga has become a great healer for many. During practice your focus is averted from the busy chit chat of your mind. Many people regularly practice Yoga and know that it makes them feel amazing.

Meditation is a benefit which is surrounded by mystery. We all seek enlightenment but what exactly is that?

How can I still my mind? Why am I unhappy? Who am I? My heart is broken? I am ill? When will the pain go away?  

Or Maybe Im too busy, I have too much racing around my head, I must succeed, I have to get there.

Yoga helps you to find peace.

Peace contains everything. No wanting, needing, worrying, torturing or inflicting.

Peace is still and non reactive.

The mind will run away to the past and the future watch it happening, you are the watcher. Do not judge or critisize the mind but watch it whenever you can.

The mind does not want to be in the present moment and will do anything to escape it.

You are not the mind.

Returning your focus to the now is enlightenment.

Listen to the silence which is always there, even when there is noise.

Observe your breathing to quieten the mind playing over and over in your head.
