It is like the ocean, the ocean has waves, a current, just like your mind has chatter. It is when you are able to get below the surface that there is calm.

Life is always changing; we are always changing. We live in a river of change, and a river of change lives within us. Every day we’re given a choice: We can relax and float in the direction that the water flows, or we can swim hard against it. If we resist the river, we will feel rankled and tired as we tread water, stuck in the same place. If we go with the river, the energy of a thousand mountain streams will be with us, filling our hearts with courage and enthusiasm.

Yoga practice addresses the root cause of depression: the energy drain caused by overreactions of our mind to the stress of our world and the pressure of our fears and desires. By activating our innate mental, physical, and spiritual healing capacities, Yoga practice strengthens our feelings of joy, peace and connectedness.
