Yoga Meditation 4221 Palm Beach - Lord Buddha who was the 24th incarnation of Lord Krishna says:

 

The Mind

The Mind is often compared to a monkey. A monkey is constantly jumping from one branch to another being busy, chattering all the while.

It is referred to in the Bhagavad Gita 6.6 in this way

"For him who has conquered the mind, the mind is the best of friends; but for one who has failed to do so, his mind will remain the greatest enemy.The mind can be ones best friend or ones worst enemy."

The subject of the mind is a very long one which we will NOT be delving into right now. Suffice it to say that the common thread regarding the mind and it's unruliness can be found in many bona fide writings through out the world, specifically those to do with yoga and meditation.

I wanted to let you know that the Yoga meditation techniques that we teach at the Yoga Meditation Studio in Palm Beach 4221 definitely help with calming the mind. Meditation is widely accepted by the general public and is often recommended by doctors as a very useful tool for relieving stress related disorders.

The mind actually has a natural attraction to yoga meditation and spiritual sound. Yoga meditation gives the mind a positive activity, something to focus on - which helps to calm and quieten the mind. When we have a relaxed and peaceful mind we automatically get a relaxed body as well as many additional health benefits.

Come on over and try meditation, or better yet try Yoga as well as Meditation. Just txt or call us 0404076108 and get our class details.

Namaste

Just as a candle cannot burn without a flame

Men cannot live without spiritual life. 

Yoga Meditation 4221- Being a Bully Is Bad For Your Health

ABC News Article

Being a Bully Is Bad For Your Health.

A new study suggests both bullies and their victims are at risk for problems that threaten their health, safety and education, but the bullies themselves may be more affected.

Based on a survey of nearly 9,600 US students in grades 6 to 10, researchers found that 39 per cent had been a victim or perpetrator of bullying, or in some cases both.

Compared with their peers, all of these students had a higher risk of physical injuries whether accidental, inflicted by other people, or self-inflicted, the researchers report in the International Journal of Adolescent Medicine and Health.

They were also more likely to abuse over-the-counter medications, harm animals or other people, use weapons or be frequently absent from school.

But while both victims and bullies were more likely to have such problems, it was bullies, including those who were sometimes injured themselves, who had the greatest risk.

"We see that the [obvious] victims are not the only victims. The bullies are also victims of their own emotional problems," lead researcher Dr Jorge Srabstein, of the Children's National Medical Centre in Washington, DC, said in a written statement.

Dr Srabstein and his colleague Dr Thomas Piazza found that students who bullied also showed some risk behaviour not seen among their victims.

For example, they were more likely than their peers to drink or use any type of drug, set fires, get poor grades and skip classes.

"[The findings] should urgently alert paediatric practitioners and educators to the need for joining efforts in the prevention of this very serious public health issue," the researchers said.

Dr Srabstein said both the perpetrators and the victims of bullying should be referred for professional help if they show problems such as those reported in this study.
