...0 years of age, it was a shock. She had one heart attack and she was gone. I was at the hospital, that night, and did not believe the doctor, who told me, She has expired. I dashed into the room to see for myself, but he was right.

Did Yoga change my grief? Could I meditate the heart ache away? No, but I did practice Pranayama, focused on positive memories, and quit smoking cigarettes, that day. Yes, once upon a time, I was a smoking Yogi.

Many of you have far worse stories to tell, but we have to take back control of our minds, or we will perish from the resulting damage to our hearts.

Consider this: If your heart is aching over something you know is small stuff - you know you need Pranayama right now, positive affirmations, and a Yoga session soon. Why waste time in negative thought? None of us will win a medal for it.
