1. Kapalbhatti.

Try and find out more about the above and try doing one or some or all of them every morning for a month. It'll take about half an hour.

Stop making excuses as to why you can't do it and just start doing it, see what happens. you may feel completely miserable but you do it anyway.

Have you noticed that even though all the signs point in the direction of happiness and peace of mind there doesn't seem to be too much of it around?

Have you noticed that the so-called technological present and future that is supposed to be making life easier for us is somehow not really doing that?

Have you noticed that the media is generally fixated on telling us all the bad news that it can?

If you do some or all of the above exercises you may start to notice more and more. It will be sometimes very upsetting and sometimes very funny but always very rewarding.

The practise of yoga is designed to put you under stress, but in a conscious way. As you are holding another posture for another 10 breaths it makes you pay attention, otherwise you just keep collapsing into your misery and 'stuff'. It's not really real once you see through it. If you just stay there for another breath you may just glimpse something that you never thought was possible.

There really is no big secret, it is all literally there right under your nose! Breathing in and out with awareness and concentration.

Of course if you have the time and/or the money, or you just can't be bothered you can spend the next ten or twenty years floating around waiting for things to get better. Just maybe they will, but what if they don't.

Who is it that is in charge of your life, you or somebody else? If you decide it's you then you might need to take more responsibility to wake up. Or go on holiday . . . . .again.

'You will obey us'. Dalek

'The worlds a funny old place innit'. Snarf.
