 Asanas
like gatyatmak meru vakrasana (dynamic spinal twist),
chakki chalana (churning the mill), and nauka sanchalana
(rowing the boat), massage the abdominal organs and help
mobilize the extra fat tissue stored around them. These
asanas can be a useful tool in the battle of the bulge.
Surya Namskara is a complete practice in itself because
it includes asana, pranayama, mantra and meditation.
This practice has a unique influence on the endocrine
and nervous system, helping to correct metabolic
imbalances that cause and perpetuate obesity.

Holding the Right Vision
 Sometimes
we focus on the wrong thing. We look at what we are
running away from, instead of what we desire to move
toward. This is true of the visions we hold for others,
and also the vision we have for ourselves.
You may want to escape your dingy apartment, workout
routine, broken down car and stack of overdue bills. But
the way to do that is to hold a vision of your new home,
a healthy body, hot ride, and abundant bank account.
Take some time today to fine tune your vision. Leave
behind the thoughts of lack, and embrace the wonderful
future you want to manifest. |
