I began a discussion yesterday about the benefits of yoga, of how amazed I was that I could literally see the affects, like muscle growth by doing 90 minutes each day.
Immediately one lady said, “I do not have 90 minutes to spare,” to which another replied, “That is nonsense, you make the time.”
We make the time; we add and remove things in our lives to make room for something we find important.

As my yoga session was winding down, a thought came to me that I am already feeling the ‘World chasing me.” The benefits of doing yoga, has health already chasing me!
Bikram says that if you can do Cobra, Locust, Full Locust, Bow, that you don’t have to chase the world, the world will chase you. You don’t have to chase, love, love will chase you….
I felt the tides changing direction, I felt I was no longer the one reaching, seeking, but instead the waves of life are chasing me!
I caught a glimpse of the affects coming towards me, my efforts being echoed and returning to me, in waves of gratitude and excitement I see muscles, feel muscles and strength!
My efforts work, my taking 90 minutes each day gives me back my health.
I am not certain I am expressing this correctly. But before I was sitting in a spot ‘hoping’ my health would improve or at least not worsen. Now I am leading my health, I am out front doing pose after pose, day after day, building and adding layer upon layer of health.
And guess what, health is growing and it is coming right behind me. I feel it lining up behind me; I love that feeling of how selflessly It follows behind me. Like I am the master and it is the servant.
For 51 years I waited for health to come to me, never knowing that it was waiting for me to begin.
Failure to start will stop health from chasing you, you begin the race, you have to start running!
