      Actually many people do not care about the way they sleep which is actually very important. It is always better to keep your hands at the sides of body. This helps in good blood circulation.

I was well aware of the general principle that a yogic mind is one where there is no flow of thoughts. During meditation this is what we try to achieve, 'a mind which is free of thoughts'. Many a times I have wondered where are the thoughts coming from? Where do they originate? Where do they go? etc etc In the book, it is mentioned that, we have thoughts all around us.

Free radicals are like the small cracks and potholes on a road.The antioxid
