L’uomo è l’unica specie animale la cui dieta non è fissa. La dieta di tutti gli altri animali è fissa: sono i loro bisogni fisici e la loro natura che decidono cosa devono mangiare e cosa no, quanto devono mangiare, quando devono mangiare e quando smettere. Ma l’uomo è assolutamente imprevedibile, incerto. La sua natura non gli dice cosa deve mangiare, né la sua consapevolezza gli dice quanto deve mangiare, né la sua comprensione gli dice quando deve smettere di mangiare. Dato che nessuna di queste qualità dell’uomo è prevedibile, la vita umana ha preso direzioni molto incerte. Ma con un po’ di comprensione – se l’uomo inizia a vivere con intelligence, with a little 'attention, with eyes open at least partially - it is not difficult to switch to an appropriate diet. Nothing could be easier. And to understand the right diet, can be divided into two parts. The first part: what to eat and what not to eat? The human body is made of chemical elements. The functioning of the body is chemical. If you ingest alcohol, your body will be affected by chemicals, becoming intoxicated, unconscious. As the person is healthy and peaceful, chemical intoxication influence his body. No matter how healthy the person, if you give them poison, will die. Any food that brings man in a state of unconsciousness, excitation, that disturbances in the extreme, is harmful. And the worst damage occurs when these things reach the navel. Maybe you do not know that all over the world, naturopathy, is used to treat the clay body wraps, vegetarian food, cloth strips soaked in water and bathrooms. But no naturopath has yet to understand that the effects on the body of the strips of cloth soaked in water, clay compresses or baths do not depend so much on the particular characteristics of these things, but whether they influence the navel center. And the center of the navel then influence the rest of the body. All of these things - clay, water, toilets - have an effect on energy of the quiescent center of the navel, and when he wakes up this energy, health appears in the person's life. But naturopathy is not yet aware. Naturopathy think that the beneficial effects derived from clay compresses or baths and wet strips placed on the stomach! Have an effect yes, but the real benefits come from the awakening of dormant navel centers. If the center of the navel is treated badly, if you are using the wrong diet, the wrong food, slowly the center of the navel becomes quiescent and energy weakens. The center will start to fall asleep, until completely falls asleep. At that point we do not recognize even more as the center. We are aware of only two centers: one is the brain, where thoughts move continuously, and the other is the heart, they move the emotions. Beyond this, more in depth, we have no contact. More food is lighter and less cumbersome created in the body, and therefore will be more valuable and meaningful to begin our journey inward. The first thing to remember about diet is that it should create excitement, intoxicated and should not be heavy. After eating the right way do not feel heavy and drowsy. But most of us feel heaviness and drowsiness after meals - This shows us that we ate the wrong way. Some people get sick because they do not have enough food and others because they eat too much. Some people are starving and others for excess food. And the number of people who die from overeating has always been greater than that of people who die of hunger - very few people die of hunger. Even if you get hungry, do not die before three months. Anyone can live without food for three months. But if you eat too much for three months, you have no chance of survival. Our wrong attitudes about food are becoming dangerous and pose a very high price to pay. They took us to a point where we are alive for miracle. Instead of health, food seems to create in us disease. It is an amazing thing that food makes us sick. It is as if the sun rose in the morning bringing the dark. That would be something equally surprising and strange. All doctors in the world are of the opinion that the majority of diseases in humans depend on a poor diet. So the first thing is that everyone must be extremely aware of how you eat. And I say this especially to the meditator. The meditator must be aware of what to eat, what to eat, and the effect of food on her body. Experimenting for several months with the knowledge, discover what is surely the right food for him, what gives you peace of mind, peace and health. There are real difficulties: it is only because we do not give any attention to the food that we never find out which one is right for us. "
