1. Proper Exercise: acts as a lubricating routine to the joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons and other parts of the body by increasing circulation ,flexibility and strength.

2. Proper Breathing: aids the body in connecting to its battery, the solar plexus, where tremendous energy is stored. Whe

n tapped through specific yoga breathing techniques (pranayama), this energy is released for physical and mental rejuvenation and healing.

3. Proper Relaxation: cools down the system, as does the radiator of a car. When the body and mind are continually overworked, their efficiency diminishes. Relaxation is nature’s way of recharging the body, calming the mind, and connecting with the spirit.

4. Proper Diet: provides the correct fuel for the body and the calm clarity of the mind. Optimum utilization of food, air, water and sunlight is essential. It consists of food products that have the most positive effects on the body and mind, while having the fewest negative effects on the environment and on other creatures.

5. Meditation, Prayer and Positive thinking: restore peace of mind and clarifies the thoughts, offering a true vision of your Being and purpose. As the intellect is purified, the spiritual Self is brought into focus and the lower egoic nature is controlled and re-directed through steadiness and higher thought.
