It could be argued that to really understand your purpose in life, to be truly successful from the perspective of yoga, we must give everything up, and, just like Buddha, walk away from the material comforts of our world. At the minimum, we must immerse in sadhana or conscious spiritual practices. Patanjali tells us in Yoga Sutra 1:14 that if we wish to walk the path of yoga, we must cultivate a steady practice, consistently, without gaps, over an extended period of time. Unfortunately, modern life has a way of preventing such a tall order. For most of us, giving everything away and living in a cave or forest for months, or even years is not possible for many reasons. But if we practice regularly, we can still obtain more joy, abundance, and success in our lives.

In a world that is constantly pulling our attention in different directions, learning to consciously place our awareness on one thing at a time is a skill we need to develop. Where attention goes, energy flows. Once you learn how to concentrate, you foster your ability to place your attention where you choose to, and give yourself more chance of thriving in those areas.

Is ageing skin actively shaping your health?
Recent research is turning the traditional view of skin on its head with a plot twist: instead of merely reflecting our internal state of health, our skin is now seen as an active player in it. The signs of ageing - wrinkles, dryness and sunspots - may actually contribute to the ageing process itself, rather than just being symptoms of it.
