PHYSICAL TRAINING
Yogi Bhajan explained the essential need for us to “Coordinate” the physical, mental and spiritual. You may have already noticed but when the physical body is weak and energy is low, it has a direct impact on the mind. We feel lethargic or depressed and may not understand the source. When the mind cannot keep up, it is unable to keep up its connection to the spirit. Mental energy creates behavior, so when your physical energy dips, that is prime medium for the mind to create drama, then you get caught.
“Spirit is nothing but a constant continuity of life and a reserve. It is like a choke in the car. When your mind is choking and your body is falling apart if your spirit is with you, you can win, you can go, you can excel.” – YB 070693
