Well-Being though the Art of Yoga and Meditation 3

I have changed in so many ways I never knew were possible thanks to yoga and meditation. 

Over time my flexibility improved and I could do things like put on my own shoes and enjoy laying in a hot bath again.

 

During the night I used to be in and out of bed trying to relieve the pain and stiffness, I could not remember having a good night’s sleep, yet, slowly even that improved.

 

Walking become a little easier and less painful, I started to visualise myself walking completely free of pain, and guess what, I still have arthritis, but now I very rarely have much pain.

 

Because of this I became greedy for good health and happiness and started to concentrate on other areas of my health.

 

My doctor had told me years earlier that the problems I was experiencing with my stomach were mostly due to stress.  At the time I thought if that’s the truth, then I am stuck with the problems as I could not change the things that I believed were causing the stress.

 

However, I leant that what we think and how we react to situations creates the stress and the stress in turn, creates the health problems.

 

I realised that I could use the techniques I had learnt in meditation to help me cope better with the stress and therefore alleviate the problems with my stomach.  And guess what again, most of the time I am free of problems with my stomach now too.

  

I am passionate about yoga and meditation because it helped and continues to help me live a wonderful quality of life.
