Connect With Mind Soul

There are times we all feel like our body must be a liar—when we get a big pimple right before an important date or when we bloat before a black-tie event or a high school reunion. Or maybe when we melt inside looking at a picture of the person we’re no longer with and really wish we weren’t feeling that way. In those moments, we long to believe our body is a traitor. The truth is your body cannot lie. It is always going to be truthful—it knows no other way. Its sole purpose is to take care of you and work hard on your behalf. Our body is constantly giving us signals to let us know what’s off or amiss. That pimple? It could be your body signaling that your hormones are off or that your new face cream isn’t a good fit for your skin, or it could be an emotional message for you to be kind to and accepting of yourself. To connect to the body, we have to get quiet. We need the space to feel into what sensations our body is experiencing.
Your mind will lie, send you in circles, manipulate you, and get you way off track. This doesn’t mean that the mind can’t help you with useful facts and information to guide your choices, but the mind has too much capacity for fear and logic, and sometimes these things interfere with the truth. Don’t depend on your mind for your truths. I’m not saying don’t use your mind. What I am saying is listen to your body for the truth and use your mind to determine how best to follow that truth. The body gets to give the answers for the what and where. The mind gets to help you with the logistics of how.
Yoga is complete happiness for the mind, body and soul. Through a few hours of frequent yoga practice, any person can convert a depressing life into a rejuvenated one. To encourage this, Ayurveda and Yoga retreats came into existence in India.
