The Sanskrit word \\u201cyoga\\u201d has the literal meaning of "yoke," from a root word meaning \\u201cto join,\\u201d \\u201cto unite,\\u201d or \\u201cto attach.\\u201d

In a way, \\u201cUnity\\u201d has the same sort of meaning. We might even think of Jesus as the great \\u201cYoga Master,\\u201d for He taught: \\u201cCome to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for your selves. For my yoke is easy, and my burden light" (Matthew 11:28-30).

I affirm that I rest in the center of my being, I release tension with each breath and inhale joy and enthusiasm effortlessly.

St. Paul wrote of spiritual discipline like \\u201ctraining\\u201d the body. I affirm that with energy, courage, and determination, I steadfastly practice the discipline of physical and mental poise.

Like Jesus, Paul referred to the body as a temple. I now claim that I am deeply connected to heaven and earth, for my body is a temple of the living God. I radiate health and happiness from the core of my body temple, and I am at peace.
