The human body is a world itself. It has its powerhouse as well as the enemies inside. All it needs is to balance. Balancing the body and mind and coordinating it to the tunes of nature is certainly the right step towards peace and happiness.

Someone is disappointed about not having glowing skin; someone is disappointed about not having a muscular body, someone is sad about not earning well and some are sad about not having space around. Most of the people are frustrated due to lockdown, they are not able to go outside, people around them are dying; they cannot meet friends and even family sometimes. News data are scaring them; the worries about career and life have started killing people and sometimes their own immunity is!
