Gosh! This really works. Add about 2 Tbs of lemon juice to a 10 oz cup

of hot water and drink with a straw* just before you go to bed. It

flushes the liver and gall bladder which is what really takes it on the

nose with our rich western diets. It's been said that it also shrinks

the stomach. Good to do also before a meal but allow 10 - 20 time before

you eat. If you're out have the waiter hook you up.

You will probably feel so light in the morning that you wont "need" your

caffeine fix. Strangely enough, doing a coffee enema has a very similar

effect on the liver as drinking hot lemon water. (I could do the humor

but I will resist)

*Using a straw helps keep the lemon off your tooth enamel. Always rinse

well or brush afterwards.

Thank you for this advice. I tend to stay up late reading email and surfing

the net before going to bed. I certainly hope this will help me particularly

with shrinking my stomach.

Hi Myra, are we talking about fresh lemon, or will concentrate do? Fresh lemon

is not always available in my house. Namaste, Gloria

 

 

Actually I have hot water with lemon every morning when I wake up. It makes

me feel so good and cleans out all the toxins from the day before. An added

benefit for those of us looking to lose weight is that it dampens that

morning hunger. It is wonderful.

 

Namaste,

 

Myra

Hello,

 

I was wondering what the right concentration of lemon to water is. This

sounds like a good way to start the morning.

 

Thank you for your help

I've had it both ways. The best is fresh lemon, preferably organic so it has

no toxins of its own. It is always better to use fresh foods, but lemon juice

definitely does the job as well.

 

Namaste,

I use 1/2 to 1 lemon juiced in 8 oz. or so (a coffee mug full) of hot water.

 

Namaste,

I am not real sure on the proportion. I think you could experiment. Thtat's

what am doing. Two TBs. is suggestion but I think a lot of folks could use

as little as one TBs.

Welcome to the group, Gilly!

The "lemon juice thing" is about the cleansing benefits of drinking lemon

juice (with water) before going to sleep. Many people have listed the

benefits they have noticed: more energy in the morning, less hunger, feeling

healthier.

 

While I like lemons very much and I know they have many benefits, to my

knowledge lemons do not however help with meditation, and I have been told

for that purpose not to drink lemon juice more than twice a week. So if you

are practicing meditation every day you may want to check how much lemon

juice you get. However for other purposes lemons are wonderful (except if

you have stomach ulcers and the like in which case you should avoid them

especially on an empty stomach).

 

Many blessings,

Satsang Kaur

Please give more info. A source or a reference would be helpful . I am a work in

progress. I am still trying to figure many things out.

Also, it's interesting that you note "lemons do not however help with

meditation" only. I wonder why that would be?

Thanks for your input,

Dharam

Sat Nam Dharam Singh,

 

> Please give more info. A source or a reference would be helpful .

 

The only written resource I have around right now that mentions lemons is

Satsang With Baba vol.2 (1976) pp120-121. It says this in response to a

seeker's question on foods that aid or detract from meditation:

"Lemon is not that good. It should be used only rarely. It may be used once

or twice a week, particularly in the hot season, and then, too, one

shouldn't take more than half a piece. You can squeeze the juice of a piece

into water and take that. Milk, however, is very essential. [...] Many of

you must have had this experience: that after you have had a very deep

meditation, you get sour eructations. If you were to take lemon on top of

that, who would call you wise?"

 

I have also received the same kind of advice from my meditation teacher and

from other sources, and from my experience it seems to be true. This may be

different for other people.

 

> I am a work in progress. I am still trying to figure many things out.

 

That is why we are all here... My teacher used to say that if you think

there is still place for improvement in yourself, then you are doing very

well.

 

> Also, it's interesting that you note "lemons do not however help with

meditation" only. I wonder why that would be?

 

Lemons are good for everything that has been mentioned on this list so far.

However the energy that meditation creates or needs doesn't seem to get

along with lemons that well ; )! There is a particular style of diet that is

recommended for meditation (or at least has been recommended to me from a

few sources) that is not the same as is usually recommended for physical

yoga. A meditation diet is vegetarian but includes sufficient amounts of

dairy, sugar, and unsaturated oils (such as can be find in nuts - especially

almonds and cashew nuts). Lemons, garlic, and onions shouldn't be had every

day, but once or twice a week. They are however very good if you are doing

more physical yoga than meditation, so it seems to really depend on the

style of yoga you are practicing.

 

Hope this helps!

 

Many blessings,

Satsang Kaur

Sat Nam,

 

My opinion --

 

A meditation diet is vegetarian but includes sufficient amounts of dairy

(read calcium containing foods for relaxation of nervous system, not

necessarily cow's milk)

 

, sugar ( read earth foods including fruit and millet (yes millet sustitutes

for sweets! Eating millet is how I cured my sugar addtion) No refined

sugar please which is addictive and depletes the body of needed nutrients.

Because refined sugar has the basic nutrients taken out, the body retrieves

the missing nutrients from the rest of the body to digest refined sugar.

 

 

Sat Nam,
