Yoga - Dedicating your Efforts

Hi David,

Yoga, a practice extending back at least five thousand
years, has certainly not lost it's popularity. Today, in
America alone, millions of people practice this ancient
form to improve pain, physical health, and to lose weight.

However, there is another improvement yoga provides
that many of it's practitioners ignore. And
it's a shame that this added benefit is being ignored,
because it provides so much to those who practice yoga.

It's the spiritual benefit, and its value is nearly
immeasurable.

The trouble is, many people are concerned about engaging
the spiritual element of yoga. At any rate, it's
the concern over a conflict of faith that leads many to
focus on only the physical benefits of yoga.

However, there is nothing in the history of yoga that
suggests or dictates that only one faith is supported
by this spiritual element. Instead yoga actually gives
those who practice an opportunity to unite with
whatever higher power they believe in.

Yoga is about achieving a sense of oneness, not only
about improving pain and physical health. Even if you
have no belief in a higher power, you can view nature as
the power with which you are combining.

The value to this is extraordinary. yoga gives
you an outlet where you can part with the frustrations
and the stress that occur in your life.

When you practice for the spiritual benefits of yoga,
you are also ridding yourself of these mental and emotional
elements that can lead to physical difficulties. It is
also noteworthy that many who have taken on this
additional focus of yoga develop a higher sense of
self-worth and fulfillment in their lives.

Who could possibly argue against a practice that
actually makes life easier?

Yoga really is a total package of mind, body, and spirit.

To leave out the spiritual and dedicate your efforts
solely to the physical benefits is to deprive yourself
of one of the most important qualities yoga offers.

Just remember that yoga was built on the idea of a force
greater than the self, and it allows us to take part in
something much more powerful than we are alone.

To work toward that sense of oneness is to dedicate
your efforts to the fullest health of your entire being.

Warm Regards,
