Hi roboto212,
Nice to read your updates. What do you do in terms of Karma Yoga? Eating clean is part of the yogic diet. However too much emphasis on just one part of the picture may lead to overload. Balance in all aspects of life is the key to stability in practices. This has been true for me.

I like to work on the land I live on here in Hawaii. Keeping all the fruit trees (which are all still very young) cleared of weeds and vines. I’m in between work atm, but I would normally consider work a sort of karma yoga, doing what needs to be done so I have the means to continue my practices.
Sometimes if I have nothing personally to do I’ll go next door to my neighbors and friends and see if they need help with anything. C

You are probably going through a sensitive phase. Keep us posted.
Yea it seems lately the energy has ramped allot… My old ways of eating are no longer working… Trying to figure out what works… I’ll keep this thread alive as updates happen…
I’m feeling really drawn to a water fast, or maybe a water and coco water fast… To let things come undone and really let the energy do it’s thing… Then after try and find a way to eat that also accomodates the energy… Seems eating lighter and remaining more empty seems the best route, but there are different ways of doing that, and finding one that also gives me grounded sleep is ideal
Hi Roboto,
At the risk of sounding overbearing, I’d like to mention that in many cases, eating a very light diet as you have been would be likely to stimulate kundalini.
I myself struggle with finding a balance between purification and stability, and I can say from experience that it’s easy to get stuck in negative feedback loops.
I’d encourage you to think about trying a grounding diet the includes cooked food that is a hearty and healthy.
You will know best, of course.
Wishing you a smooth path!
Tonightsthenight, a lot have recommended that over the years, heavier diet, eating more…
I’m not really sure why, but for me being empty I actually feel most at rest, but I still need food. If I were to just fast, mind becomes completely unbound and there is effortless resting in nondual awareness… That’s great, except my body can’t really do much as it doesn’t have glucose or energy or whatever it’s needing that it gets from food. So food is still needed, but eating just what my body needs and not overeating is essential. Overeating causes all kinds of energetic overload and mind tightens around identity. Eating lighter seems to allow this unwinding, slowly over time. Giving my body enough time of being empty Seems allow the awakened energy to break through knots or whatever.
I would never recommend others eat like me though. Everyone’s journey is different. Many will have to eat heavier to curb overload symptoms, but for me that just overstimulates my system.
Also I want to add that it doesn’t feel like I am restricting myself at all, or undereating. For some reason, my metabolism slowly digests over time, even if it’s fruit… My stomach still stays pretty busy even if I only eat once a day.
