The word Yoga means union. The individual is uniting with a higher state of consciousness. Meditation is concentration upon God. Many people have a negative concept of God due to negative experiences with religion. It is not necessary to believe. Applying techniques and seeing what results you get is a reasonable and logical approach.
The goal of the physical yoga poses, called hatha yoga, is to prepare the individual for meditation. It is a good beginning point for many people, because we are used to the idea of controlling the movements of the body. Controlling the mind is much less familiar to us. Many of the yoga classes today are very physical and active. I prefer to mix in breathing techniques and mental relaxation techniques. My goal for my classes is to create a deeply relaxed state, through stretching the muscles, breathing and mental techniques. The student should leave the class refreshed with a feeling of well being and kindness.

Real estate in Silver City
Real estate sales 2008 compared to 2007 in Silver City, New Mexico
You hear all sorts of information about what is happening with real estate in Silver City. One realtor recently gave a lecture about how the downturn is not affecting Silver City. Some realtors are afraid to admit the market is down, thinking buyers will expect super low prices. My personal opinion is, just tell the truth. If people have unrealistic expectations based on the truth, they might have unrealistic expectations and mistrust me based on my lies.
When I run statistics from the Silver City multi-listing service the results are:
Number of land sales January to May 12, 2007: 79
Number of land sale January to May 12, 2008 : 27
Number of home sales January to May 12, 2007: 102
Number of home sales January to May 12, 2008: 76
Am I seeing a big decrease in prices? No. Most sellers are taking a wait and see approach. Very few of our sellers are moving due to job transfers, and have to move in a specific time frame.
