I seem to have lost Part 1. I will look for it and post it if I find it.

Part 2 - Lifestyle
_____________
Welcome to Part 2 of the Yoga Health Secrets introductory
series.
Good habits lead to good health. Regulate your habits and your health
will automatically be good. I'm not saying you have to live in a
monastery. But everything should be in moderation: "Everything in
moderation, except for moderation." Buddha learnt a great lesson when
he witnessed a musician tuning the strings of his instrument. After
contemplating, he realized that everything should be like that: not
too tight; not too loose.
Over-indulgence in anything reduces our vitality. Food is essential
for life, but if you eat too much
you'll die. There's a saying, "If in
doubt about eating, don't eat; if in doubt about going to the toilet,
go to the toilet!" You can even get too much water - or even air. The
point is that we should do everything in a balanced way. You don't
have to give up anything you like - just moderate it. Excess leads to
discontent. The appetite is keener at mealtimes than in between, and
so it is with everything else. There is a time and place for
everything. If you do everything at the right time and place then
you'll enjoy it all the more, and be healthier to boot.
Here's a start: If you live in the city, make a habit of going to a
natural place at least once a week. It could be a forest, a beach, the
desert, some cliffs overlooking the sea: wherever you choose, the
natural sounds and fragrances (not to mention the fresh air)
will be
both therapeutic and inspiring for your body and mind. For example,
the sound of a trickling stream - or waves lapping at the shore - will
naturally sooth the mind. Remember: at least once a week - you owe it
to yourself!
