to the medical establishment, 70% of all diseases are stress
related. Clinical studies show that meditation, asana, and breathing
are powerful tools for stress reduction, as well as easing heart
disease, high blood pressure, substance dependency, depression,
anxiety, and a sense of hopelessness and purpose in daily life. In
