The Art and Science of Creating an Amazing Life

Radiant Health - The Benefits of Yoga

January 9, 2018 / GS Renfrey / Radiant Health Blog

I originally posted this blog in 2002 and had all but forgotten about it. Then, the other day, I received an email from the other side of the world... as in New Zealand... expressing appreciation for the article. That compelled me to reread the original and I found that I not only liked it enough to dust it off for re=posting, but realized what I wrote is as true today as it was 16 years ago. That is just a little remarkable in this day and age where last year's health recommendations can easily be this year's health warnings. Then again, yoga has stood the test of time... about 6000 years of it by some counts. So here is a reprint of the original, and to add breadth to it, I would like to refer readers to two great reviews of the benefits of yoga by Jen Reviews (18 Amazing Benefits of Yoga, According to Science), and John Linden (The Benefits of Yoga).

Deep Living - The Benefits of Meditation

February 13, 2018 / G.S. Renfrey / Deep Living Blog

On Maturation

The changes of maturation are some of life's greatest and least understood gifts. Life wears at the rawness of our youth much like the sea washing against a rocky shore. Though there are times of low tide and quietude, the sea always returns with its enduring strength and relentless waves.

This is as it should be, for it is through this weathering process that the raw nature of the rocky coast is transformed into the stretches of soft sand, rock formations, hidden coves, and secret caves of the mature shoreline. As the sea works its magic, the land becomes at one with it and develops its true beauty and character.

So it is with ourselves. Life's events sometimes seem harsh and stormy and as time passes we become aware of the changes that they produce. To resist this process is both futile and short-sighted: it is as it must be, and it is in this manner that life slowly uncovers our true selves and reveals the full beauty and mystery of our beings.
