Yoga and Tantra are
all part of the ancient life-disciplines that have been practiced
in India for centuries. They find mention in the scriptures of the
Vedas and Upanishads. Yoga is the science of the union with the
Divine, with Truth Tantra is the most direct method of controlling
the energy that creates the ultimate union with truth.
When
the rigors of life catch up with you and you start feeling jaded
and fatigued, you know it is time to take a break. And what better
way to de-stress from the distresses of life than to relax in the
soothing and therapeutic balm of India's Yogic and Meditation
practices? India is world renowned for its ancient healing
practices and alternative modes of therapy. For more than
thousands of years now, we have followed our own indigenous
healing systems and medicinal practices such as Ayurveda,
Naturopathy, and Panic Healing to name just a few. It is no wonder
then that after the onslaught of the individualist and consumerist
philosophy of the west, people from all over the world are turning
to the Indian sub continent for guidance towards a more
spiritually satisfying and holistic way of life.
The
father of Yoga, Patanjali, described eight areas of Yoga and Yogic
practices as : the natural regulation of the nervous system,
discipline; cleansing; postures; concentration; contemplation; the
awakening of awareness; and the state of perfect equilibrium.
Yogic excrcises have both preventive and curative value. They
bring man to the natural state of tranquility, which is
equilibrium yogic practices help to bring natural order and
balance to the neurohormones and the metabolism and improve the
endocrine system and thus fortify one against stress. Yogic
practices for the treatment of stress and stress-related disorders
(such as hypertension, diabetes, asthama, and obesity) are
