Yoga's Influence on Stress

...

No matter who we are, we have it. We have it when we're running late for work, we have it when we fight with our spouse, we have it when we smell the turkey dinner we've fixed for our new in-laws burning in the oven. Even those of us who appear perpetually happy have it. No one is immune to it, no one is safe from it, and no one knows fully how to beat it. It is a world-wide epidemic. It is stress.

Though no Jonas Salk-like character has come in with a magic cure or vaccine, stress is still a manageable condition; it has to be, or the human race would be extinct. From eating right to cutting down on caffeine, from quitting smoking to exercising, there are ways to reduce stress behind every corner. And, sometimes, there are more unique ways to reduce stress simply up and around the bend.

Tantric Yoga

...rized and desirable, this technique is also the most difficult to learn and master. This particular format is known as Tantric Yoga.

Some early documents actually trace the roots of the practice of Tantric Yoga as far back as time of the Indus Valley civilization. This era was synonymous with that of the early egyptian dynasty. There has been a progression over the centuries, an occurrence that seems to happen in most traditional arts, of the practice and true meaning behind the concept of Yoga. To say that Tantric is not what it used to be would be a very extreme understatement.

If one studied the art in depth, focusing on the original archaeologically found documents, he or she would find that Tantric Yoga is on a scale abov...more
