    Self Healing

    Our bodies are designed to self-heal without too much of outside interference, with proper nutrition, with exercising our limbs, and with keeping our innermost self joyful.

    In this modern day and age though, most are in a rat race. Where they are going, even they do not know! There is no defined path to fulfill the Higher Purpose in life for they have not stopped long enough to understand why they were given this gift of life on our mother earth. And no wonder, the modern human is suffering from depression, anxiety, and are emotionally unfulfilled which manifest in innumerable physical health issues driving them to medical facilities and doctors who prescribe pain killers and chemical treatments without looking deeper into the emotional aspect of the issue at hand.

    If people stopped to analyse the reason behind the many health issues, they would find that one of the most simple solutions to many health issues is to look at the events and people in ones life that may be the source of problems, and that removal of all forms of toxins would be the first step towards physical health.

    Here is a self revealing article, Whole Health Self Healing Kit,  as a gift to all of us by Dr. Lissa Rankin, the author of “Mind Over Medicine”:

  • Too Busy For Yoga?

    Too Busy For Yoga?

    Too Busy For Yoga?

    “I am very busy!”
    “I am very busy! I really want to but I do not have any time.”
    “I am very busy! I also believe in yoga, but I do not have the time!”

    If you are someone who catches herself saying one or more of the phrases above, it is time to take a serious look at the word “busy”.

    Busy is synonymous with “occupied,” “engaged,” “involved,” “hard-pressed,” “swamped,” “absorbed,” “engrossed,” and ‘pre-occupied”.

    We all have the same number of hours during the day. We all have family, chores at home, a work schedule and downtime. Each one of us fills our hours the way we deem fit. The way we choose to spend our time goes hand in hand with what we believe in, our life philosophies and principles.

    Ask yourself what do you become “busy” with when you are not “working”:

    • Do I spend time being busy by chatting or texting with friends on the phone?
    • Do I spend time being busy by spending hours shopping?
    • Do I spend time being busy by going to eat out?
    • Do I spend time being busy first planning and packing for vacation and then becoming super busy going around with no time to sit?

    The truth is that we are super “busy” with things we really want to spend time in, consciously or sub-consciously,” things that gives us pleasure, and so every minute of the day is taken up with what we really want to do!

    The real question is: WHAT are we “busy” with that we do not have the time to stay healthy!

    And then the question is: Do I really believe that I should exercise in order to stay healthy? Or does it become secondary to everything else I spend time on?
    Therein lies the answer to “I do not have time for yoga!”

    For many this questions hits them into awareness when they start facing a physical issue that refuses to resolve itself or are so stressed mentally that they become overwhelmed with life itself!

    There is a solution to “I am too busy!” for anything that you should do and are unable to do.
    Question your priorities.
    Question your philosophies.
    Question the reason you are truly avoiding doing what you need to do.
    Question the urgency of why you should do what you have been avoiding.

    If you are still avoiding what you need to do, it is because you do not truly believe that you need to do it! Someday, the situation will become urgent and you will be forced into it. Hopefully it will not be too late!

    PREVENTION is better than CURE.
    If you believe that, you will create a shift in your consciousness and plunge into doing what needs to be done. You will like spending time on it. You will create time for it, one way or another.

    An example:
    I believed that I do not need to do any other exercise since I was running after my kids, working hard in the corporate world and managing a home as well. That I believed was plenty of exercise!
    The day my awareness shifted, my life changed – I became a yoga instructor, where I had no choice but exercise.

    Another example:
    I do not like the paper work involved getting ready for taxes!
    So I used to become super busy doing everything else that I believed needed my attention and avoid it until there was no choice left but do it in order to meet the deadline!
    With a conscious shift in my way of thinking, attitude and behavior, I learned that I need to plunge into what I need to do the most and much before deadline. It has made my life stress free.

    Know that as important as it is to work your work it is also important to work your health. Become super busy at being healthy. Join yoga or any other health exercise regime that suits your interest.

  • A Healthier Lifestyle

    A Healthier Lifestyle

    A Healthier Lifestyle

     

    A key aspect of any nutrition program should be to keep one healthy and not starving or depleted or in misery!

    At Wellness Haven we believe in gradually changing our lifestyle so that we are on a healthy path. We do not believe in yo-yo behavior patterns that actually destroy the lifestyle for the worse and not better.

    We also believe that “losing body weight” is simply a byproduct of changing to a healthy lifestyle and is not the soul purpose of the program. Over the long run changes in eating habits is what makes the most difference. Our students realize this, experience this and tell us that they feel lighter in both body and mind, that they have to change over to smaller size clothes, their yoga forms have improved, their families are eating healthier, many physical issues have disappeared, no more acidity or heart burns or feelings of being bloated, no more headaches, change to positive and healthy thinking, and in general are much more joyful.

    We believe that all three aspects of life need to come together for a joyful and peaceful human: PHYSICAL aspects through yoga asanas and nutrition and MENTAL and SPIRITUAL aspects through Breathing and Meditation practices.

    What else can you ask for?

    Get back on the healthy life track today for life is meant to be lived peacefully and joyfully. For those who are always concerned about the financial investment in your own body pay attention to:
    1. How ill the body feels when hit because of bad health
    2. How money flows out with hospital visits in spite of health insurance
    3. How the quality of your life suffers whenever in pain
    and
    4. How much money you spend for a few hours or a few days of pleasure when you eat out or buy materials or fly out for vacations.

    We all need to fix our perceptions for therein lies the key to health.
