Have you ever arrived home after a long exhausting day at work and planned to go to the gym, but came up with excuses not to go? Is it the lack of time, lack of motivation, or a mixture of both? If this sounds like you most days of the week, you may be putting yourself in the 80 percent of adults that don’t get their recommended weekly amount of exercise. Exercise is the most effective way of reducing pain, increasing flexibility, and improving overall strength. Being in shape gives you more confidence and self-esteem.

The thoughts and emotions you have influence how your body responds to conditions and illnesses. In order to heal better and faster, you need to be aware of these thoughts and emotions. With mantra meditations, you can consciously focus your energy and trigger health-inducing responses in your body. With innumerable success stories, it’s no wonder meditation has become such a popular alternative for healing.
