Yoga—I need to resume my regular practice. There was a time that I practiced every morning and every evening, and I knew sheer bliss. The fast-moving world tends to deride the yogi belief of the mind-body connection…such a shame. You must trust me that it isn't good to have your mind and body acting independently from one another…they have a higher resale value as a group package.
As it is, our society is riddled with incongruities such as the emergence of appetite—we should know not appetite, but only hunger. Appetite is the want while hunger is the need. Please have faith when I say that our internal systems never truly want their fuel supply in the form of a Twinkie…that's your mind screwing with ya.
So…why this subject? Why now? Well it just so happens that I read an article today: Why Yoga Works When Diets Often Fail. Yoga isn't a celebrated high-calorie burner, however it does succeed in validating the model lose weight without trying! claim of our dreams. Learn to listen to your body…it's smarter than your mind, no joke.

He's a casualty of my mind, but I'm ok with that—at least he's kept informed. He recently admitted, quite begrudgingly, that although he doesn't really listen to anything I say, he does hear it.
Can anyone tell me: was there a compliment in there somewhere? His delivery made it sound as though it were meant to be taken as such…but I'm just not finding it.
