Stop Time
in Nature
Nature is our guiding
light when it comes to
cycles and rhythms.
Step outside and
spend some quiet time
in nature. Even if a
public park or a back
lawn of an office park
is all you can access.
Read on http://www.layoga.com more of
Dr. Pedram Shojai’s instructions for how
spending a few minutes in nature can help you
relax and even be the person you want to be.

Go Within to Live a Joyful Life
Are you stressed out? If you’re like most people, the answer is “yes.”
While the vast majority of us seek solace in activities that distract us
from anxiety, the world’s oldest wisdom traditions tell us that the
only way out is in. This is how we find our path to a joyful life.
In other words, the key to optimal well-being may be to sit with
anxious sensations and actually feel them. From there, the question
then becomes: Why am I stressed out in the first place? According
to Sadhguru, founder of the Isha Foundation and one of the world’s
leading authorities on yoga and meditation, it isn’t life’s situations
that cause our stress; it’s our inability to cope with them.
