let go we must!

What have you done today to release and let go of your stresses and tensions?
Your digestion system works tirelessly to ensure that only the good stuff the nutrients we need are left in the body and everything else needs to go or should go. You know we do get into all sorts of problems if it doesn't go!
Similarly our mental health and overall wellbeing depends on releasing and letting go of experiences, memories that bring tension and stress. Keep the ones that nourish you but let go of everything else!
Both Chinese and Indian traditional medicines recognise accumulation and stagnation as a first stage of illness - physical or mental. 
Unfortunately our lifestyle which is predominantly sedentary and cultural attitude that doesn't encourage reflection and letting go on regular basis - quite the opposite in fact as we're encouraged to accumulate more and more information and material possessions - are not helping in avoiding stagnation and accumulation and thus preventing disease from developing. 
Luckily you can always relay on yoga to come to the rescue! 
The physical practise of yoga positions and regular massages are great for 'getting things moving' and through seemingly targeting the body only they help you to let go of not just physical stiffness but of stresses and tensions deeper within your being. And that is only the beginning .....
