A study from way back in 1979 agrees:<em> \u201cHatha yoga calms the mind to the point that the individual is aware only of the \u2018here and now\u2019 [&#8230;which] includes an awareness of subtle bodily conditions.\u201d <\/em>[<a href=\"https:\/\/scholarworks.lib.csusb.edu\/cgi\/viewcontent.cgi?referer=https:\/\/www.google.com\/&amp;httpsredir=1&amp;article=1117&amp;context=etd-project\">5<\/a>]\n\n\n\n<p>CBD may play an equally important role in\nthis area.<strong> Many users report feeling\nmore focused and intuitive when they take the plant compound. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps best of all, it doesn\u2019t usually\ntake much CBD to see enhancements in focus and mood.

That includes our ability to focus at work, nourish real\nrelationships&#8230; and clear the mind during yoga. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s another seemingly cryptic concept\n\u2014 <strong>could CBD help our culture better live\nin<em> the now<\/em>?
