The word yoga is the same as the English word "yoke". So in the New Testament when Jesus Christ says, "My yoke is easy and my burden is light," my interpretation is that he's referring to yoga. It means "union" - Union of the body, mind and the spirit as one continuum of consciousness.
Deepak ChopraMeditation is all about connecting with your soul. Part of maintaining your well-being is taking the time to disconnect from the outside to go within.
Deepak ChopraThere are no physical divisions in the subtle domain and therefore no barriers between heaven and hell, light and shadow.
Deepak ChopraIf you are having the experience of anxiety, your body is making adrenaline and cortisone, if you are having the experience of tranquility, your body starts making valium, if you are having the experience of exhilaration and joy, your body makes interleukins and interferons which are powerful anti-cancer drugs. So, your body is constantly converting your experiences into molecules.
