| Yoga Stretches your body and mind Uplifts spirit, beats stress Yoga isnt just for celebrities, it can improve the lives of everyone, says J. Donald Waters, founder of the Ananda, (Sankrit for "divine bliss") movement. "Yoga helps us develop energy flow through the body that builds strength and develops calmness in a stressful world," the renowned author of Awaken to Superconsciousness (Crystal Clarity Publishers) tells Star readers. "It teaches you to become calmer and more centered. You gain central over your emotions and resolve problems with greater ease. "Yoga can also help you achieve a lean and supple body." Yoga, from the Sanskrit word "to yoke," or unite, means to blend the physical with the spiritual aspects of life. People have been practising yoga for thousands of years and its recent popularity proves that its benefits are ageless. "We live in a very electronic world," Welters continues. "Yoga helps us get in touch with ourselves as bodies of energy - not just material substance. "By increasing the flow of energy around you, can be more successful in your work. Youll be able to accomplish tasks in minutes rather than hours, and the energy you gain from yoga also helps deepen relationships with others. You vastly increase the love and friendship in your life, bringing more happiness." Out-of-this-world sex Tantra, the sexual branch of yoga, is the key to fabulous lovemaking that can last for hours! Just ask L. A. Law stars Michael Tucker, 56, and Jill Eikenberry, 53. "When we are connecting," declares Tucker, "We can almost levitate off the bed." Tantric sex is an ancient Indian practice that aims to heighten and prolong the moment of pleasure between a man and woman. Devotees of Tantric sex have studied various sexual positions to find ones that heighten sexual ecstasy. Tantric practitioners believe that by bringing the sexual state to the peak of ecstasy, couples can enjoy a greater intimacy where all boundaries dissolve and the two are joined as one. Author Lama Surya Das, in his book Awakening the Buddha Within (Broadway Books), writes: "The sexual act must be approached responsibly and with utmost sincerity. "When performed with good intentions, the sexual act can transport a man and a woman into a rapturous experience way beyond the world of human limitations." |
