Yoga empowers you to feel the way you want to feel at any time, instead of being a victim of your own feelings. It makes you independent.
Yoga is not just doing some exercise, it is much more. It is to expand your awareness, sharpen your intellect and enhance your intuitive ability.
Meditation makes you sharper, happier, and intuitive. Don’t you want intuition? Don’t you want the right thought to come to you at the right time?
What does meditation and spiritual practices do? They bring out the four ’I’s in you: Innovation, Intuition, Inspiration and Intelligence.
A day of worry is more exhausting than a week of work.
Meditation is not a way of making your mind quiet. It is a way of entering into the quiet that is already there – buried under the 50,000 thoughts the average person thinks every day.
Watch your manner of speech if you wish to develop a peaceful state of mind. Start each day by affirming peaceful, contented and happy attitudes and your days will tend to be pleasant and successful.
Realize that true happiness lies within you. Waste no time and effort searching for peace and contentment and joy in the world outside. Remember that there is no happiness in having or in getting, but only in giving. Reach out. Share. Smile. Hug. Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself.
If you run, you are a runner. It doesn’t matter how fast or how far. It doesn’t matter if today is your first day or if you’ve been running for twenty years. There is no test to pass, no license to earn, no membership card to get. You just run.
Joy is what happens to us when we allow ourselves to recognize how good things really are.
Our happiness depends on the habit of mind we cultivate. So practice happy thinking every day. Cultivate the merry heart, develop the happiness habit, and life will become a continual feast.
I go to nature to be soothed and healed, and to have my senses put in order.
And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.
The doctor of the future will no longer treat the human frame with drugs, but rather will cure and prevent disease with nutrition.
Cheerfulness is the best promoter of health and is as friendly to the mind as to the body.
Health is not valued till sickness comes.
Health is the greatest possession.
It is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver.
One of the most sublime experiences we can ever have is to wake up feeling healthy after we have been sick.
If you have health, you probably will be happy, and if you have health and happiness, you have all the wealth you need, even if it is not all you want.
