Regular yoga a d meditation, no matter how brief, certainly make a huge difference to us
Nearly every morning I meditate for 15 mins. Before this I do about 15 mins of yoga. When I say yoga I mean real meditative yoga. Trying to be present in the mind and breath.
Then in most afternoons I do another 15 mins of yoga.
I have nothing to show off with when doing this. All I can do is touch my toes and make funny shapes with my body. But what I do notice is I'm a more calmer person when I do these practices daily.
I feel it makes me a better human.
Yoga and meditation for me is a practice of how to surrender to life. Dont get me wrong I still loose the plot now and again. As my right hand man says when I go off on a tantrum "theres not many Buddhists like you"...
Him saying this really does diffuse me in an instant!!!
Must look kind of crazy though when someone is all about the way of the Buddha and they are taking tantrums now and again.
All I know is my tantrums are much more civil than they were 10 years ago. I've come a long way!
Peace and love
