She does not want to change her diet, it is kind of forced on her, she would be rather eating like all French do.
Part of her didn't want to change the diet, but she has done it. We've all had to let go of some attachment or other on our yoga journey.
And if things should change, Luce, you will very likely find it easier to go with the flow.
What I can say from my experience is that things can go in either direction. My base diet is vegetarian, but when I overload, meat tastes good, and I feel good and balanced after eating it. When I don't need it, it tastes like carboard and it doesn't go down well.
Your body knows what it's doing. If it doesn't need meat, it lets you know. If/when it really needs a heavier diet, you will know that too, and it won't come from the head, it will come from the stomach. :slight_smile:
Yes. Yes. Yes. This feels like my issue. Thank you for your perspective!!!
Would you say I am new to Yoga if I have been doing AYP for 1.5 years and meditation without object for about 4 years before that? If Samyama works for me, I am guessing that is my best confirmation of Inner Silence. This thought regarding confirmation comes up because I might now let go of some restrictions of mine regarding diet and see how my balance is.
Hi Wil
no one can really know ,it is not the amount of years, it is how you show up in daily life
.
i am afraid we have hijacked the topic
.
dont go by ifs and conditions like if samyama works then it means this or that.Rather explore/experience samyama (if you feel so inclined ) instead of going by mind ifs and assumptions .See what happens in reality not in assumptions.
.
As for diet, usually the body will tell you what to eat. You already mentioned that you dont like the taste of alcohol,so they will be no issue in overdoing drinking, you can rest assured
.
You say you practice meditation without object,are you oversenstive to ayam andb breath meditation?
letting go of attachment does not mean that we stop having likes and dislikes, I like to have milk in my coffee but i will not get depressed if am unable to do so. I am not attached to the milk but i swill always have preferences, the personality does not melt.
the process is biological and neurobiological, as bhakti moves us we go into a lighter diet, when k becomes too much for us to handle, then we go into a heavier diet. This is what Yogani adviced Luce about not always going with the energy.Biology has nothing to do with attachments
And your preferences can change. So does your personality. ‘Clinging to what your tastes or personality were yesterday’ was what I meant by ‘attachment’ when I replied to Luce.
I’ll leave it to her to decide if that reply resonates. If not, then I’m happy that she disregards it.
