Energy is the currency of life !

Yes, everything Is interlinked...both physical and mental health are dependent on each other and together they contribute to the overall wellbeing of a person. In today's fast paced and hectic life style People are turning towards alternative healing..meditation Is a scientifically proven method for calming oneself and being controlled towards various challenges in life.A balanced diet, physical activities and meditation can be answer to the present chaotic lifestyle

Ask me. As a religious practitioner of Yoga and Asanas, I can say with assertion that I never seen the face of a Hospital. The importance of Yoga can be realized by the declaration of "International world yoga day. by theUnited Nations General Assembly 

Few years  back I attended  a yoga camp organised by Yoga Guru KS Iyengar here in Mangalore and he gave a series of lectures before starting the yoga exercise,..According to him one should eat everything that is available but also indulge in physical activity to counter the negative effects of certain food items...this was in response to a catholic lady who wanted to know if eating beef and pork was harmful ..He was very sensible and practical in his views without being rigid and lived to to be 95 and passed away last year in fact on 20th August , that is tomorrow....

That's the beauty of Yoga. Yoga teaches not to restrict to a particular type of diet. If Yoga is supported by Asanas, eat whatever you like.

The body is basically a chemical factory and brain is its manager. Like operating plants it also needs periodic maintenance and energy to perform its functions. The brain is however  very complex in its functioning and is still being studied as to how it performs. it requires continuous dose of energy to keep it functioning. Yoga is a maintenance tool for keeping the various parts in a roused condition.  The  nature of our selves and our health is toa large extent decided by our inherited DNA and the environment we lead our lives in. Doing yoga in a polluted environment may not benefit the body

True yoga done in a polluted and uncomfortable conditions will not yield the desired results. Like any other healthy practices, Yoga too has DOs and DONTs.

Whether someone does Yoga or some other physical activity , ultimately what it boils down to is that a balance should be maintained between our food intake and physical exertion, doesn't matter in what form...I have seen agriculturists from my city being lean, supple and very energetic even when they are in their late seventies or eighties because of their lifestyle which is hard work and eating either home cooked food or whatever is available because many of them go to small road side restaurants for their lunch..

A healthy life style irrespective of the life style is the answer to the question how and why energy is necessary for one to lead a healthy life.

It is axiomatic that all living beings need energy for work and even for normal body functioning. even inanimate machines and robots need energy. Human and animals need energy even for breathing blood circulation in body.  No  or less energy means less activity and consequent disfunctioning and death.

Exactly sir. any living organism ceases to live, once it is energy less.

There are a few things that help us generate more energy and all of then=m are within our reach..Motivation, more importantly self motivation too counts , because a person becomes more energetic when he or she is motivated and goal oriented ..

I really really agree with you. Because it happened with me. When there were nobody around me to inspire and motivate  me, I found, Self Motivation gave me results. Not Just Results. They are the results that surprised me.

I always wonder if meditation could be at all prescribed to one and all! How many of us can square up to its exacting spiritual standards.A mind overweighed and overwhelmed with materialistic aspirations and pursuits deceives itself with such hollow exercises.They are at the best gymnasts or contortionists!

With determination Meditation can be practised and mastered too. In the initial stages it looks intimidating. But over a period I'm sure Yoga can be mastered. It's my experience.

LOL, you said it, meditate for an hour and go back to your world of deceit ...However, if one is troubled and really in need of solace meditation can give that, also make them open up so that they can find a solution within the realms of reality

Meditation if regularly practiced  gives amazing results. It gives the physical strength and energy as well as mental strength.

@Usha

way point I was stressing on is if it is at all possible to behave in any other possible manner than we are programmed to as dictated by our DNA. A hardened thief would have theiving thoughts even in his meditation unless you are reducing meditation as a physical posture of erect sitting body with closed eyes! Can Lalu Prasad be made a better person through yogic prescription and meditation thant what he terribly is? By the way,my recent posts are blemished by comnon grammatical deviancies,members may be gracious enough to excuse these,please!

Meditation done religiously takes you into a world  where your vague thoughts are arrested. There is no past, present and past in this state.

 Sitting in a SUKHASAN or PDMASAN and closing the eyes is not meditation.

In Lalu's meditation, his thoughts will be revolving around how to eat more fodder.. How to hoodwink the people and how to innovate new ways to eat away more fodder.

It is an amusing thought to see Lalu meditating LOL...One can easily imagine him in the role of a sadhu, doling out his pearls of wisdom !!!!

I get your point..Unless you are tuned into self improvement and are determined to correct yourself , it is useless to expect any positive outcome from Lalu or ordinary mortals like us !

Yoga is nothing short of DEDICATION. Commitment. Self improvement is also a commitment and Dedication. There are no short cuts to Self Improvement.
