I wonder if, by doing Yoga or mindfulness meditation, people get back in touch with their own religious roots? 

That's what happened to me. Yoga reveals to you things that you believe but didn't realize you believed or forgot you believed. It reaffirms and solidifies your belief system. 

It could make your belief system more open, or it could bring focus to your spiritual life. It depends on the individual. Then it's a matter of finding the right place. There are so many choices even within your own faith. For me, a big part was finding the right church and finding the right priest, somebody that could speak to me in a language I could understand within the context of my faith.

This morning I felt horrible about myself-I saw on facebook that my nsg class of 2008 was graduating (is graduating) this morning @ 9:00am. I felt all those horrible feelings of failure, and asking myself how I got to this point in my life when I have always been about achievments, but then right now. I started to meditate-I spoke to God, and told Him I would trust Him no matter what. I also watched a Yoga video with Kino from the Miami Life Center on Youtube- and it reminded me how much I want to be like her. To not only do what she does physically but to mentally have her state of mind. She is content with the life she has, and she doesn't care the little things. I'm premenstrual and sometimes I give that an excuse for my behaviors. But if I can just meditate and pray to God before crying, everything will clear up and I'll rememeber that this year has also brought me happiness-I'm closer to my family again, I have a passion for yoga, I have a caring Boyfriend, and I am more determined to become a RN and then pursue my masters at NYU. I CAN DO ANYTHING! I CAN!

Ugh for the past week I've cried three times. I think I have Premenstraul Depression, I'll just think of horrible things that make me feel bad about mysself and cry. Whats wrong with me?
