With all this talk about meditation and chanting and all the ways it can heal your life, it's important to remember that you don't have to believe it until you feel it.

But, and this is a big but, yoga is a science, not a religion. It's the science of awakening. Take the teachings as a hypothesis. Try it out in your life. You do have to give it a chance. When you plant a seed, it takes time to grow. .
See what evolves for you and then you will own the truth as your own.
