Buddhist yoga meditation, when practiced regularly, can bring about a great deal of inner peace as well as heightened levels of happiness. Yet do you really have to meditate, or do yoga, to yield these incredible results?Sure, you can do plenty of other things to get basically the same results. You could take a luxurious trip that will relax you and bring you peace. You could eat a full dinner to make you happy and content, especially when you're among friends. A tall glass of wine can ease your stresses, and prescription drugs can ease and alleviate your physical pains and discomforts.Wouldn't it make sense, though, to find a single daily practice that nets all of these positive results, and that delivers these results both free of charge and free from damaging side effects?Vacations are enjoyable, but they are tough on the pocketbook. Plus the act of packing and arranging for a trip comes accompanied with its own set of tensions and frustrations. And while a vacation can produce short-term relaxing effects, you do eventually have to come home; returning to all the stresses and tensions you originally tried to escape.Meditation and yoga, especially when practiced in tandem, provide a free daily vacation from the stresses and strains of your life. It is a journey of the senses that takes you to a place of serenity and peace-with no worries about gas costs or spending exorbitant amounts of money on souvenirs!Everyone enjoys a good restaurant meal, but dinners out are a common source of unwanted expense, not to mention excessive calories. Realistically, you may only be able to eat out once or twice a month.Meditation and yoga, by sublime contrast, supply food for the soul. You'll eat more sensibly once you start meditating, and won't be as likely to indulge in fatty comfort food. Through Buddhist yoga meditation, you will find a whole new brand of nurturance.Most people enjoy a good glass of wine or mug of beer on a special occasion. Yet, due to potential problems with dependence and addiction, you! may not want to rely on alcohol as a daily source of relaxation.Meditation won't make you drunk or leave you dependent, and provides an unrivalled sense of relaxation and even elation.And while both over-the counter and prescription drugs are sometimes needed to treat and cure serious illnesses, you can supplement and perhaps ultimately even replace some of the meds that you take with a steady regime of yoga and meditative practices.Buddhist yoga meditation is the key to healthful, peaceful living; it is fully and truly a vacation of the senses.
