mindfulness

i am reading a book on mindfulness and mind insight.  they both tie into each other.  it is making a difference in my life.  it also ties into me being involved in yoga.  which ties into my religion.  yoga is suppose to not have anything to do with a specific religion or is it a religion.  i do believe it has spiritual qualities.  yoga is stated to be universal and so is my personal religion.  i was baptisted into my religion as a baby.  i believe baptisms are for protection.  God knew what was going to happen to me, but He put things in place so i wouldn't be lost or suffer for ever.  i am seeing that He really does have a plan.  the suffering will end if you relax, observe whatever it is, and see what you can do about it.  ask yourself: what is it, how strong is it, and how long does it last.  suffering is nothing but a distraction - look at it that way.  ask those three questions and watch those distractions fade away.
