A Message For Men
by Eugenie Knox
To all you men out there – please lend an ear and maybe a heart for a few moments to this epistle on Health, Wealth and Happiness. It is called YOGA!
We love to love – Oh yes! But what do we love to love? Sex, food, money, glamour, cars, speed, wine and footy.
All these escapades bring us to a still point eventually which is usually suffering, old age, infirmity and death!
Strong words?
Well that is the truth. Check it out and see for yourself. Look around and look within. You will see that this is the truth of the way we live our lives. Our reality.
Do you know anything about yourself?
“Of course! I check my image in the mirror, correct my collar and tie, tighten the belt” – careful not too tight, just enough to keep that paunch under control. Forget what it is doing to your internal organs!
Well, try this for a still point – just 10 seconds of your time. STOP STILL AND LISTEN. You can even count up to 10 if you wish. Now try that again, but this time relax your face muscles from that grimace to a soft smile.
Forgotten how to do that? Well, not like the chimps, their smile is actually an aggressive response when they grim like us.
Think about your mouth, yep, that thing that tastes, sucks, swills, chews and kisses. That part...now try relaxing just the corners and try to give a little turn upwards.
Think of the Buddha. Let your insides smile as well as you outside.
The glow that you feel is obvious to all of those around you.
They will be attracted to you like bees to the honey pot.
A Yogi has the most charismatic energy. Something we all want.
This is your first lesson in Yoga! Good smiling!
