an update

   I feel like it's been forever since my last post.  I apologize about that.  Life has been moving fast for me lately, and I guess I was just trying to keep up.  I have been keeping up thanks to my dedication to yoga and mediation practices which have kept me feeling refreshed and energized. It is absolutely amazing how much more flexible I have gotten by committing myself to practicing yoga twice a week. I also have gotten a lot of tension out of my body by practicing Yoga. During today's practice, I did my first headstand ever on my own. How exciting is that? 

    Whenever I am going through something tough in my life nowadays, I sit down and mediate it out to come up with a solution or just to think.  Mediating my conflicts out of my life has been going really well for me. I urge everyone to try mediation, it not only helps to energize you, but it can work to heal you as well. People have proven that it keeps them healthy and decreases their chances of diseases.  

    In general I have been studying alternative medicine since the beginning of January.  I am so curious about other forms of medicine besides our traditional western ways. Since researching and learning more about my mind and body connection, it has helped me to see different forms of medication. Recently, I have been seeing an acunpunturist and it has done wonders for myself. I have started to feel my chi and my spirits constantly high. I also am doing a research paper on body workers. I don't know too much yet, but when I do I will blog about it.
