Back To Yoga

My knee that I injured over the Christmas holidays finally is healed enough that I can get back into regular yoga sessions. Over the years I have found that yoga not only keeps me in good physical shape, but greatly helps with my anxiety issues, and I highly recommend it to everyone looking for a gentle workout.

I think it is kinda funny that in 1989 the Vatican declared that Eastern meditation practices such as Zen and yoga can "degenerate into a cult of the body" particularly when they are obviously a very troubled religion themselves, and in no place to judge others beliefs or practices. I actually attribute my own overall good health, and sanity over the years to yoga, and meditation, and I'm fairly certain the same would not be true (at least for me) had I been a practicing Catholic.

The Church has now declared Reiki off limits for Catholics. I guess they haven't heard of laying on of hands.
