A New Light

This weekend I attended a yoga seminar on Yoga for Depression and Anxiety, Reignite the  Light Within. The seminar focused on relieving the emotional and physical discomforts of depression and anxiety through the practice of asana, pranayama, meditation and chanting.

Yoga an meditation are more than techniques to magically fix our problems, they are a way of being~ a way of seeing yourself in a new way, a way that opens up more degrees of freedom.

"When our inner nature is truly free, we find within ourselves a wealth of treasure: love, joy and peace of mind. We can appreciate the beauty of life, taking each experience as it comes, opening our hearts to it and fully enjoying it. Realizing these qualities within ourselves is the greatest freedom that can be gained." ~Tarthang Tulku
