The way we prepare & consume food profoundly impacts our body, mind & emotions.


Our body, mind & emotions is very greatly influenced by the way we cook & eat food.

The Energy of Your Mind.

The mind & all feelings are radiated in our surrounding environment & influence people around us. When you are one of those happy jovial types you see everyone drawn to you, they mirror your smiling nature whereas if you're one of those always morose ones opposite happens.

There is a certain science to this. The energy emitted is constant & the nature of that energy makes up our own environment.

Food is an energy carrier

The reason as to why Hindus have been doing specific mindful practices for thousands of years. Members of ISKCON for example would focus their attention towards God while cooking & eating the food & would chant the Hare Krishna mantra along with it. They also offer the food to be called Prasadam (a sacred offering) before eating.

This is so that the food has Sattva Guna (goodness, purity & light) & not Tamas Guna (darkness, lethargy & evil).

So what about what we eat?

These specific practices are tied to the consumption of vegetarian food however it doesn't strictly matter if we are eating vegetarian or non-vegetarian food. It all matters as to what state of mind & emotions you were in while cooking, serving & eating your food.

One can consume non vegetarian & still be able to concentrate all your positive attention during mealtimes & in the kitchen in order to uplift your mind & body.

At other times when you are eating vegetarian food you can simply follow what ISKCON devotees do.

Like time mealtimes to have changed.

Back a few decades, families used to sit & share happy moments over mealtimes with stories & laughter however it's sad how things have changed. Nowadays many of us are eating unconsciously without looking up at our mobile phones or our TVs.

The programs we're watching most often are based on violence, crimes, murders, thefts. When you consume these negative energy during mealtimes, you're effectively filling your food & mind with Tamas Guna. Food is not just energy, it holds the energy of its surroundings & if we're filling our mealtimes with negative energy, we'll lose our inner peace.

Science of how mindful body-mind connects to eating.

There is a biological connection to eating. Using our fingers would stimulate the nerves of our body which would then connect to our brain, when we truly enjoy our food & eat it mindfully, the brain signals the body to release a lot of digestive enzymes in the stomach while stimulating the nervous system & relaxing our nerves thus making us happy, healthy & our metabolism more productive.

Small changes go a long way

If we're too dependent on the TV when eating dinner, change it to a funny & interesting program that cheers us up. It's more important however to disconnect yourself from your mobile for the merely 15-20 minutes you take to eat your food.

Try this for just a few days and you'll notice yourself , all the family members & your friends you share your meal with are a lot more cheerful & happier.

She could not believe the love she felt for Stephen at the first sight of him.  Since then, as everyone said she was a cold woman without such feelings. Those who knew her would say she was only interested in science and research.  Neither men nor love affairs suited her.

“Darling, I love you.  Will you be my wife?" I cannot live without you.  For months she wanted to say or hear those magic words from him. It did not take her a minute to think about it, but she happily accepted it. She could still feel the tremor in her knees that she felt that day.  That was when she lost control of her emotions and found herself madly in love.  

*****

He tended to avoid women.  He considered that to live a peaceful life, women are to be kept away from his life as they represented trouble and temptations. He always thought logically and never made decisions without thinking.  He has been that way all his life.  But there was no logic as to why he wanted her to be his wife when they first met.  

*****

He did not expect her to accept the marriage proposal so soon, as he was afraid that she would reject it.  However, she accepted his proposal and they fell in love.  The time that followed was like a walk on clouds for both of us. Everything around him looked beautiful.  He began observing the blue sky, birds, and trees. His heart was burning with love, he was happy and content.

Harmony Within: The Vital Role of the Seven Chakras

Image
  True wellness is so much more than that which can be seen & felt. With all the emphasis placed on the mind/body connection & the external factors contributing to health these days, there's an unseen force which binds everything together-our vitality. Though modern science & biology provides facts (which are very important, by the way), Yoga addresses vitality from a more energetic standpoint. The practice of Yoga dictates there are seven primary energy centers in our bodies called “Chakras”. These Chakras must be well cared for & in balance to facilitate the flow of energy throughout our physical body. It should also be stated that the practice of Yoga isn't a new fad but has been refined for over 7,000 years & is universally expected for its benefits globally. Similar to our physical bodies needing consistent maintenance, our Chakras need consistent attention, through a different form of care. I've personally used a blend of Yoga, Pranayama (breathing...

The Psychology of Clothing: How What We Wear Shapes Our World

Image
Ever realized how much the switch from one outfit to another immediately changes how we feel? Fashion isn't just a functional commodity; in reality, what we choose to wear can significantly influence how we perceive ourselves & the world around us. In fact, the effect clothing has on our psyche & our self-perception is often more pronounced even before we open our mouths to speak. When a surgeon is dressed in scrubs, his or her perspective is immediately altered. Stress, fatigue & the day to day struggles of life completely vanish when their surgery scrubs are put on. The uniform automatically sends a message of severity & professionalism to the concerned family members without uttering a single word. Likewise, when we see an officer or a military personnel in their uniform or put on a suit & find ourselves instantly infused with self-confidence. Every context has a unique presence & aura associated with it. We are taught from our childhood through the cloth...

Sculpting Character: Ancient Indian Wisdom for Modern Parenting

Image
Fundamentally, a child is a mirror to its parent. For that very reason, a child’s character can be said to be the most crucial legacy we are likely to build. When you want to create something meaningful for the ages, you do not do it haphazardly. You research it, consult with experts, you study its history, you seek examples from its past & pour all your energy & love into the construction of that great endeavor. This is how I am approaching the construction of these blogs, to mine for and synthesize historical & profound traditions of Ancient India with that of modern psychology in order to produce something worthy. Yet, any & all of these principles will not take root without complete congruence of both parents, to move as one with a shared vision. The Modern Parenting Landscape Parents face uniquely challenges to instill strong character today. While it is certainly not true that every child is facing challenges, the prevalence of problematic behavior among children ...
