Your Strength is not in your muscles. It does not come from fighting negative situations or winning against a negative enemy. Your strength is in your calmness, in the clarity of your mind. Strength comes from putting the negative aside without reacting. Win in calmness, in consciousness, in balance. Win without fighting.     ~~ Yogi Amrit Desai  ~~

Meditation is the true Yoga practice- all the asanas evolved for supporting better meditation, which in turn supported more asanas and better physical flexibility and strength, which supported better meditation, which supported more mental clarity and flexibility in the mind..... Namaste, ~CB ~
