Daily Yogi: A Daily Shift in How You See the World

Justinian, who was known for his legal reform contributions to the Roman Empire, reduced the doctrine of human law to three general precepts: "live honestly, hurt nobody, and render everybody their due.” 

This is a simple and beautiful code, and its honest adaption by mankind would make the world over in a day, but nearly every human is inclined to place their own interpretation upon each of the three precepts, and, consciously or unconsciously, stretches them in their own favor and against their fellow human beings. 

Justinian's quote is a timeless reminder of the values that we should strive to live by. Living honestly, avoiding causing harm, and treating everyone with respect and fairness are essential for creating a better world. We should make a conscious effort to embody these values in our daily lives and encourage others to do the same. By doing so, we can create a more peaceful, just, and prosperous world for ourselves and future generations.

The human body is a wonderful mechanism. It is not a coincidence, but the work of a mighty intelligence. We should trust this intelligence and open ourselves to its inflow. We should help our body and not hinder it by making things more difficult for it. If we study the incredible mechanisms of the human body, we can see this great life principle in action, and by doing so, we can benefit ourselves.

Get regular exercise.

Eat a healthy diet and avoid junk food.

Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your body hydrated.

Get enough sleep so the body can repair and regenerate itself. 

Practice relaxation techniques like deep breathing, meditation, or yoga to help manage stress.

Avoid smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and other harmful substances.

Although your body is intelligent and has the ability to repair itself if neglected, it’s key to ensure that it’s functioning at its best. The little things you do each day can make a big difference in the long run. So, prioritize your health and give your body the attention it deserves.

How many times are we caught up with wanting external validation? The approval from our peers, our family, our friends? A pat on the back for our hard work? This can become a never-ending quest, as we constantly try to please others and gain their approval. The problem with this approach is that we may end up compromising our own values and beliefs in order to fit in or be accepted. This can be detrimental to our own sense of self and our personal growth.

We should not seek validation or approval from outside sources, but instead find our own sense of worth and validation within ourselves. According to the yogis, this is key to truly experience happiness.

The Yogi teachings extend beyond romantic relationships and can be applied to all aspects of life. A genuine yogi shares love unconditionally, without any expectations. The yogi's happiness is obtained from the fact that their loved ones are content and happy. Even if others don't reciprocate their love, the yogi remains satisfied, as they know that they have done their part of spreading their love. 

Instead of seeing love as a transactional exchange, we can view it as a limitless resource that we can tap into and share with others. This shift can help us let go of any fears or insecurities that may be holding us back from fully embracing love in our lives.

Embracing the Yogi philosophy of love can lead to a more fulfilling, peaceful, and meaningful life. It allows us to cultivate deeper connections with others and brings more joy into our lives. It also has a ripple effect, positively impacting not only the person we love but everyone around us as well. By choosing to love without expectations, we can create a more compassionate and loving world for ourselves and others.

Having a positive attitude is crucial in achieving success and influencing others. When someone adopts a positive attitude towards life, they become a center of power that manifests itself to everyone around them. This positive energy is perceived by others, even if they cannot explain it. People who possess a positive attitude carry with them a mental atmosphere of strength that is felt by those they come in contact with.

Be a dynamic individual. A cheerful, positive, fearless, calm, self-controlled, bright and happy person.

Life has a way to guide us into situations that make us grow. At the end of the day, you'll always be with yourself. Whether you're waking up in the morning or going to bed at night, you'll be alone with your thoughts. Learning to be alone can bring you more peace of mind and help you appreciate the world around you.

Learning to be alone is an essential part of personal growth and happiness. It's important to accept yourself for who you are and be comfortable with your thoughts and emotions. Remember that being alone doesn't have to mean being lonely. It's important to have a support system and people you can turn to for help when you need it. The key is balancing alone time and community time. When you take the time to be alone, you'll gain perspective, recharge, and be better equipped to navigate life’s challenges.

According to the Yogis, the best kind of exercise is the one that calls the mind into play like games or sports or work. Exercise just for the sake of growing certain muscles and showing them off is unnatural. A healthy body is one in which all its parts are equally well-nourished, and each part can only receive proper nourishment if it is used regularly.

Take long walks or bike rides around the woods or in your neighborhood. Join a sports team or participate in physical games with friends and family. Balance mental work and meditation with mild exercises such as yoga or stretching. 

When engaging in exercise, it is essential to be mindful of what you are doing and why you are doing it to achieve the desired results. Injecting life and interest into your exercise routine is crucial to avoid the monotonous and robotic approach commonly found in modern-day gyms. Put some fun into it and enjoy it. This will benefit both the body and mind, resulting in a sense of satisfaction and thrill that is truly unique.

You may wish to eliminate painful, disgraceful, or mortifying episodes from your life, but have you considered that doing so would require you to give up the knowledge and wisdom that you have gained from those experiences? 

Your current identity and position in life are the result of the accumulation of all your past experiences. Nothing is ever truly lost, and every experience, whether positive or negative, contributes to your overall well-being and growth in the present. Even your current troubles and pains will eventually lead to positive outcomes in the future. Each experience in your life has a purpose, and collectively they shape who you are and who you will become. Therefore, it's essential to embrace every experience as an opportunity for learning and growth, trusting that they will all contribute to a better future.

Thoughts are things.

Thought is as much a “thing” as is light, heat, electricity or similar forms of manifestations. Thought can be seen by people with psychic abilities; it can be felt by the sensitive; and, if we had the proper instruments and technology, could be weighed. 

Thought is like a thin vapor and is just as real as the air around us or the vapor of steam or the numerous gases in our periodic table. And it has power, just as all of these forms of vapor just mentioned.

Let us cultivate the habit of thinking higher and better thoughts, and we can gradually attract circumstances and conditions that are in line with our mindset. We can draw in similar thoughts that are in harmony with ours and attract people of similar thoughts.

Have you ever gone to sleep breathing through your mouth all night long and woken up with a dry feeling in the mouth and throat?

This happens because when we breathe through our mouths, we are violating one of nature’s laws and we are inviting disease into our bodies. 

It is essential that you breathe through your nose at all times. Our noses are designed for breathing, our mouths for eating. The nostrils have two functions: 1)they warm up the air before it enters our lungs and 2)they filter out stuff that might harm our breathing passages. 

The Yogis encourage us to acquire this method of nose breathing and dismiss the other method of mouth breathing. It is imperative, as many contagious diseases including colds are contracted by the nasty habit of mouth breathing.
