Yoga Meditation 4221- Words of Wisdom to Share - Gratitude ...!

Gratitude

Here are 3 reasons why gratitude is good for us. They’re based on published scientific studies.

1) Gratitude makes us happier

One study compared people making a short list of their blessings each week with another group making a list of their hassles (or burdens). It was called a Blessings vs Burdens study. After 10 weeks of doing this, the blessings group were 25% happier than the burdens group.

Isn’t that incredible? What a change we can make to our happiness, especially if we have gotten into the habit living life as if we’re in the burdens group.

2) Gratitude is good for the heart

Gratitude counteracts stress so ultimately it’s beneficial to the cardiovascular system. Mental and emotional stress can take a long-term toll on the heart, increasing stress hormone levels but also free radicals and inflammation – precursors to cardiovascular disease. So a side-effect of gratitude is improved cardiovascular health.

3) Gratitude helps us achieve

Focusing on things we’re grateful for helps us to notice even more things that we’re grateful for – it’s an upward cycle, like we surf a wave.

We become more attuned to the blessings instead of the burdens of life. This simple shift of focus increases our positive feelings, increases creativity, makes us feel more energetic, and we notice more opportunities in life.

Gratitude Exercises

Here are two gratitude exercises. You can focus on one or the other, or if you really want to go for it big style then you could do them both.

1) Every day for the next 21 days, make a list of 5-10 things that you’re grateful for. It can be people, things, how you’re feeling, events, circumstances, God, the Universe, your dog….whatever you can feel grateful for.

Try to alter your list as much as you can so that you’re not writing the same things every day. This exercise works really well if you do it first thing in the morning or just before going to bed.

2) Think of a person in your life and think of all the reasons why you’re grateful for that person – what they have contributed to your life (or are contributing), how they make you feel, what they do, who they are, what they do for others, etc.

Try to do it for a different person every day until you have gone through all of your loved ones. Then you could extend it to friends and co-workers. Then, if you feel really brave, you might even try the exercise on people who cause you stress or who have hurt or offended you in the past.

As you do this, watch the way your relationships with some of these people change.

Good Luck Have Fun :)

 

Yoga Meditation Palm Beach 4221- Quotes - Relationships

     

Food for thought ...!  Have a great week ...!

Namaste

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.

If you feel as though the world is trying to run you over ... (I love that saying) ... If you feel as though you need some 'ME' time. 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. I'm sure you will be pleasantly surprised and will enjoy the experience.

Until you walk through our door

Take care

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.

Yoga Meditation 4221- Holistic Practitioners are healing professionals.

Holistic Practitioners 

Are holistic healing professionals with a gift in one or more areas of healing.   From yoga teachers to body workers and homeopaths, the term holistic practitioner has become one that is often challenging to describe or understand. Saying holistic practitioner - is similar to saying doctor.  While there are general practitioners that cross along many paths, most specialise in one or more holistic methods or areas.  All therapists strive to bring a greater quality of life to their clients. That may occur through inner balance and spiritual awareness,  inner wisdom and self-empowerment, physical health and strength, and even emotional and mental confidence and stability. Qualified holistic advisers understand and live a truly holistic life themselves, incorporating mind, body, spiritual health, well being and awareness.

If you are interested in living a well balanced holistic lifestyle, or would like to come to a yoga class, yoga nidra guided meditation, or yoga meditation class be sure to contact us - Yoga meditation Studio 4221 Palm Beach Gold Coast Queensland (qld) for class details and information.

Yoga Meditation 4221 - Aromatherapy, an holistic approach to health.

Aromatherapy

At its best works to heal the body and mind, healing it from various illnesses, as well as working as a stress reliever to prevent illness. Aromatherapy has been used over the years by Egyptians, Indians, Europeans, Germans, the French and many other cultures. The oils have proven to assist in relaxing the body and mind, and were used as a medicinal remedy. Applying essential oils is thought to change an individual's brain chemistry so that pleasurable neuro-transmitters called endorphins are released to relieve pain. Geranium, jasmine, juniper, lavender, peppermint, rose, rosemary and thyme are oils commonly used for this purpose.
