Death is coming

The closer death creeps up upon me the less I am able to understand the reasons for life or living.

Yes I have experienced a close family member dying and unlike television it takes decades to handle such a thing. To think I am going to put my family through such a thing when I finally leave is more horrific to me than the thought of death itself.

My life was and is still a learning experience but when all said and done what am I to do with all this accumulated learning over my lifetime if I just die. There is no logic or reason to this.

Long ago I became aware that the God story that is sold to the majority is just a nice story to give mankind with a message of a basic layout of how nice life could be if everyone followed these ideas. Not many in life do and if one thinks about it the good and evil structures actually depend on each other. The good that can be experienced in life is only understood as good when there is it's opposite to compare it to. This is not rocket science only common sense in reality. I am not saying we need to experience bad but understanding in it is needed to appreciate the great things many of us can have in our lives. From birth to death there are many ways mankind helps his fellow man. How many ways can you help?

The Benefits Of Yoga

By Jack Wogan


Everyone knows that it is very important to be able to fully control our body and our mind, because we need them to function well in order to accomplish our duties. Some people found the solution to this in the practice of yoga. We need not worry about our busy schedules, because it only takes several minutes for us to feel relaxed and enjoy its benefits. All that is required is for us to carefully plan these yoga sessions so that they do not interfere our work.

The ones who have stressful jobs have a reason more to turn to yoga practices, as yoga improves their existence. A full day at work, with many issues to be solved and many deadlines can be really disturbing for us, but the answer to these problems lays in the ways we choose to deal with them. Due to the internal peace, many people consider yoga as being more relaxing and more efficient than partying or reading a book, even sleeping.

For some it could come as a surprise that the breathing is the most important in practicing yoga. As the breathing includes both the inhaling and the exhaling, we should know how to do it right. It is important for the air to be inhaled for a period of several seconds. The air is kept inside for the same number of seconds and then slowly exhaled. Performing a good breathing allows us to control better the circulation of the blood, as it brings fresh oxygen into our body. Also, it has an important role for the respiratory tract as it cleanses it and eliminates the toxins from the inside.

If we are determined to start practicing yoga, then we should plan each session. By doing so, we prove our seriousness for this matter. The best moments to practice yoga are probably the beginning and the end of the day. In the morning, this session helps you in filling your body with energy and in the evening it has the role of preparing it for a good sleep. During the work hours, we could also practice yoga to regain our vitality.

If we want to practice yoga in a specialized place and with specialized people, then we should enroll in a yoga course. The listening of a calm music or even the sounds of birds singing or water flowing is also a good way for meditation, helping us to have new perceptions on life.
