CHAPTER 6: EXERCISE, YOGA, MEDIATION AND
PRAYER
|
"Make fun your exercise,
and exercise your fun."
Dr. Sheel Tangri
|
When it comes to exercise, my basic philosophy is "use
it or lose it." I encourage people to move, dance, play, laugh,
study, practice yoga and go for long walks. Whatever they
find entertaining and fun is what they should be doing -
because they will enjoy it and, hopefully, do it regularly.
Always aspire to make your life and others' lives as fun filled
as possible. Do things that benefit your well being as well as
that of others. The bottom line is: stay active, keep moving,
try
new things, turn off the television and GO.
No one can achieve their full potential if their nervous
system is disorganized, and that goes for whether they are an
athlete or an office worker, a teenager or an octogenarian. But
for athletes especially, disorganization is one of the main
reasons why so many sports injuries occur. The logical
solution is to have the nervous system reorganized before
beginning any new exercise program, no matter what the age
or state of fitness.
Similarly, how can one effectively meditate and calm
the mind if it is stuck in defence or weighted down by old
emotional baggage? Having the nervous system cleared is one
of the primary therapies in the journey back to wellness.
