Create Light in the Mind and Body

When one is living an unhealthy lifestyle of eating the wrong food, not exercising, or drinking or using drugs then the system gets filled with tamas, or inertia. There are three gunas or qualities known in the yogi system, tamas, inertial, rajas, over activity, and sattwa, light or balance.  To bring about more light, or balance in the system one needs to follow the yogic lifestyle. Then the meditation comes naturally.
