Yoga Unites the Mind, Body, and Spirit
Barefoot chick from our Yoga Stretch and Tell community group wants to know what the practice of yoga means to you, and posted this:
I know most people do yoga to relax and tone their body and I think that is wonderful just of itself. But yoga [as defined in Sanskrit, the language of origin] actually means a union of mind, body, and spirit.
Besides the health and physical benefits does anyone also get into the spiritual aspect of yoga, or the meditative component of clearing your mind of thought? If you incorporate the spiritual dimension into your yoga or would like to talk about that part of the total yoga experience, I would enjoy hearing from you.
Mindfulness: It's Not Just For Spiritual Woo-Woo Types
Imagine taking a morsel of food, say, an almond, and savoring it very carefully, giving it your full attention. If someone told you that doing everything you can with that kind of attention would help reduce your stress level at work, relieve bodily symptoms like back pain, and keep you from bad habits like smoking, you might think they were nuts.

Dear Poll: Are You Spiritual?
If you've been watching Oprah lately, you know that she's been spending a lot of time talking about spirituality, something that she considers to be the "most important foundation of anyone's life."

DC Spiritual Leaders Protest Torture Veto
Members and supporters of the Washington Region Religious Campaign Against Torture dressed as detainees yesterday during a demonstration orchestrated to "demand Congressional action to stop torture" on Capitol Hill.
