To live completely, wholly, every day as if it were a new loveliness, there must be dying to everything of yesterday, otherwise you live mechanically, and a mechanical mind can never know what love is or what freedom is.

The pace of modern life is taxing on the body-mind. Physical and mental tension can lead to depressed immunity, muscular tightness, insomnia, high blood pressure, and anxiety.
