A New Day A New You A New World  Neer Garh Waterfall vicinity, nr Rishikesh, India. The effect of paying attention and noticing things around you and within you, can bring enormous benefits to the body, mind and their health. The terminology we use to describe what we do can also affect our body and mind. Discriminating between work and play and the compartmentalisation of life has led us to not being true to ourselves in every moment. Work life balance is good, but work life integration may be the greater achievement. Perhaps we should stop focussing on balancing and start integrating.  My clinical practice is to view the body, mind and spirit together as the three pillars of health and wellbeing. Balance all three and health is the reward. I would like to share how I perceive the integration of yoga with what our current healthcare system provides for us, and how much responsibility we take to maintain our own wellbeing. Please take a moment to consider and reflect upon the following:
 Vivekananda Yoga Anusandhana Samsthana, India. Yoga is a word and concept that seems to be everywhere in recent times. A renewed interest in an ancient philosophy to help us back to health and calm our busy minds in today’s hectic society. Yoga flyers will be in your gym, on the library notice board and posted all over social media. You will hear about yoga in the news and read articles about its health benefits and how you can lose weight or reduce stress. You will see celebrities endorsing it, health professionals prescribing it, your friends telling you how it changed their lives. All of this is great news for the yogi’s of the world. How do we distinguish what is a 'quick fix' promotion, and what is a deeper understanding of a lifestyle change or enhancement?
