Could
it be, then, that the states of non-wellbeing - that means the
feeling when there is something disturbing (which does not
necessarily mean to feel really bad), or having too often the feeling
that there is something going wrong (while what is going well seems
pretty rare), depend on the world around us?
If we look closely we will see that it depends on our physical and inner situations. Depends on the fact that we lack of balance and harmony, so, in parallel, the body and our inner being are in a disturbed state.
Let me give you an example (perhaps excessive): imagine to have a 100% state of harmony; is there any space for discordant situations? It's impossible to go beyond 100%! I mean that if we are filled with harmony, anything outside us would not be able to damage us.
Many of you might say: I feel in harmony but it happens so many times that I lose this situation! It takes you some time to elaborate on the following concept: try to avoid prepackaged mental mechanisms. So.... if discordant states appear, it means that we do not have 100% of harmony; in proportion as these take place we have a proportional amount of discordant inner conditions.

Someone
else might say now: you make it easy, nobody can have 100% of
harmony! This is a fairly popular belief, an idea taken for granted,
but I'm not sure it's the truth! If I have now 20% of harmony, then I
can reach 30%, then 40% and so on. So I mean that - without
discussing on the 100%, which I only used as an example - there are
possibilities to improve ourselves, it is demonstrable and if you use
them you can move forward.... without a doubt!
If you are not able to ride a horse, it doesn't mean that you'll never be a good horseman; if you are not able to play the piano, you can always learn how to do it.... I can do thousand examples, just do not doubt about what is possible.
Life is a progression of experiences in which you acquire more and more skills. Though it seems strange that we do not spend time learning how to be more in harmony in our life....

Trying to resume what has been said so far (although it
is difficult here have the chance of answering to any question or be
completely clear for everyone....) in the next post we will talk
about: so, what is Yoga?
