In short, it is not surprising that the West has one of the highest statistics of the prostate (and breast) cancer cons. Why? For me, perhaps too much stress on the body and the paraphernalia associated material if they focus instead on the integrity and honor, not only our own spirit and potential, but also for others. Maybe if we invest our minds and started to live in a more positive space is often no longer feel and appreciate the earth beneath our feet, a country that is for us what we needed, we can reduce these statistics and replace them with high self-esteem, vitality and luck chronic! Are we brave enough to imagine, let alone make the world?

It all starts with us as individuals and therefore yoga is an effective therapy. Our mattresses are all equal, we all have the same organs, we feel the same emotions and recognize our mistakes and successes in the person doing business with us. Yoga makes us feel, breathe, and embrace. This returns us to ourselves (to laugh, I think we have enough) and turn our compassion, human nature. And with that kind of energy that burns in you, the disease will have difficulty staying.
