Many people feel a sense of incompleteness. They seemingly are doing all the right things; eating well, exercising, relating to family and friends as best as they know how, yet life continues to challenge and confound them. What is missing?
According to the Vedas, all feelings of stress, misery, loneliness, frustration, anger, jealousy, greed, etc., stem from being a stranger to your true self. To nurture the life force within means to understand the importance of the energy within the body known as the soul (or atma in Sanskrit) and its needs. With this new-found wisdom comes clarity, leading to wellbeing and purposeful direction. It is the beginning of understanding essentially who you are.
