Yoga and Aging

Time flies, when your having fun, but does aging sometimes make you feel sad or slightly depressed? Yoga classes have given students a new appreciation of life. The realization that the clock is ticking; appears to be a path of physical and mental limitations for some of us. As we age, will we be less mobile, less wise, or a bit slow on our feet.

Lets discuss why; as you continue to practice Yoga, you will age gracefully and happily. How many times has your Yoga teacher told you to be present for practice or to live in the moment? Yoga teaches us to live right now as if it was our last day on earth.

Since we are living at the moment, we must give our lives purpose, meaning, and not be afraid to take a chance. Never look back with regret on the life, spouse, or job you could have had - if you only took a chance.

What is the worst that can happen? Nothing will be different than it was the day before. In the words of Alfred Lord Tennyson: I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost, Than never to have loved at all.

This brings to mind, wisdom, which comes with age. If we had only known what we know right now, things would be different. Well, there is no time like the present, so get all your knowledge together and take action this second.

Who cares how long you have been on this earth? There are no medals given for lack of action. Jesus once said, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk. The miracle at the pool of Bethesda required action.

First Limb Of Yoga - Asteya

Asteya - Is non-stealing and all of us have heard, Thou Shall not Steal. Yet, today there are so many creative ways to steal; many people do it quite naturally. How many people steal time, services, and products, from their employers? In 2001 US retailers lost 31 billion dollars because of theft.

A substantial portion of those figures was employee theft. Please bear in mind, these statistics are from one country, one industry, and these statistics are from 2001. There is an over abundance of theft going on. With the aid of a computer, a hacker can steal from people without ever having to see their face.

Common Internet scams include non-existent long lost relatives, who want to leave us millions of dollars. All we have to do is give away our bank account numbers, personal information, and social security numbers, in return for the promise of money.

Then, we can see what little we have withdrawn from our bank account by another scammer. Many people will say you cannot scam an honest person, but of course, you have telephone scams, which target trusting seniors.

The truth is a thief always has an excuse for stealing and usually blames the victim for the crime. Criminals are always happy to tell you how smart they are. Even, if you visit them in a correctional facility, and they are behind bars, they always have a new idea for making easy money.

If you feel in your heart that your action is a form of theft, then it most likely is. Remember these words of Jesus: "Do unto others as you would have them do to you."
