Yes, that famous New York Times article titled &#8220;The Island Where People Forget to Die&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps look up the above Greek name and read the New York Times article. If we can&#8217;t all go back to an island of PURITY &amp; DELIGHT &#8211; then, we can still engage in DISCIPLINED BUT NATURALLY RHYTHMIC PACED lifestyle that balances HARD WORK with de-compression and relaxation, therapeutic yoga to boost the immune system and invite purification and heart health.\u00a0 Breathe.
