Book excerpt: Health and wellbeing is everyone's concern - every human being aspires for it in whichever way he knows it. It is just that different people have different ideas of what health is, and still more different ideas of what wellbeing is. Unfortunately, society today has a very limited understanding of what health means. Medical science as we know it has advanced by leaps and bounds. Yet, at the same time, probably never before has humanity known the kind of ill-health that they experience today. We have overcome infections and epidemics, but the diseases that human beings manufacture within themselves are becoming more prevalent. For almost every infection that can arise today, medical science has some solution. But for chronic ailments like diabetes, blood pressure, migraines or whatever else, medical science does not offer any solution. It only talks about managing these diseases, never really about freeing people from them. There are so many kinds of specialists, and a lot of money and time is being spent on just managing these chronic diseases within certain limitations.Though many people are going about as if health is the ultimate goal of life, it is not. Health is a natural process. If we don't mess with the system, the system is designed to run in a healthy manner. Yoga is not focused on health because what you call "health" is a natural outcome of being in harmony within yourself. There are hundreds of thousands of people who have come out of serious chronic ailments, which generally were given up as hopeless cases, with just a simple, foundational yogic practice. If this human mechanism is properly attuned to the very source of creation functioning within you, health is a natural consequence. Can yoga also cure cancer? I would not say it is a cure, but it can definitely enhance the immune system and the body's balance and vibrancy as a whole. To what extent is subject to various realities - the way one's constitution is made, and to what intensity and in what kind of atmosphere one can practice. This is a medical fact also, that something as simple as physical exercise decides the distinction between health and ill-health for a lot of people. Just taking a walk in the morning can make a person healthy. Similarly, yoga is a more complex system, which is not limited to the benefits of exercise. It is much more than that. If it is done properly, there will definitely be a benefit. Is it a miracle? No, because it is a science. As with any other science, you have to apply it and work with it step-by-step. This book gives Sadhguru's insights on the various causes of cancer and what can be done to go beyond the disease. The book also includes several methods and practices from the yogic system to help one lead a healthy and joyful life.
