Take care of that battery; yes, that one. The one that is running your life; the one inside of you that you owe your consciousness and the functions of your body to. You were born with a functioning battery, and it will continue to operate until the moment you die. How is one to take care of this battery?
First, a battery needs liquid, water with some electrolytes, to help generate the electricity. In the body, this is the cerebrospinal fluid. A body in dehydration all the time can not generate the electricity to have all the body's parts function optimally. Second, there has to be two poles to create the electricity, and in the body these are the North Pole end at the brain and the South Pole end at the sacrum. The electrolytes are gathered and balanced as only the body knows how to do, from the food and beverages one eats. Interference from most diseases, including mental disease, drug therapies, poor diet, and even nutritional supplements which create imbalances will disturb the ability of the battery to maintain a strong charge. It is the charge on the battery which determines the vigor with which one can live. The goal of yoga can not be reached unless optimal physical and mental integration occurs, and this depends on a strong battery charge.
Do genetics play a part in all this? Of course, genetics is the playground upon which all the other factors register, interact, and produce the output.
So take care of that battery: drink enough water, eat healthy, get a modicum of exercise, and keep a positive attitude. Then if you so deem it the proper moment to seek a taste of cosmic consciousness and awareness of the total energy flows within/without, use this health to forge a bond to your Creator.
