Guest guest Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 As a Yogini I can add a few things that I do. Many Hatha and Raja Yoga texts suggest taking ghee and yogurt daily. Regarding the latter, mine is local, organic and raw. Then there is Yogi Milk, which is an ancient recipe that combines the two. This is my breakfast. I have been living Ayurvedically for over 30 years with no ill-effect, so wholly support this lifestyle approach. However, for Yogis, the dietary information is more guideline than rule. For example, in Indian, few Yogins include the six tastes in their meals, which are supplied by well wishers. Reading an Ayurvedic book and following the guidelines is a luxury for many in the United States (likewise, similar approaches). The only hard and fast rule that I know, and have seen, and personally experienced the value of, is eating sattvic food. While living in India I would often go without food rather than eat a meal that was a day old, or fruit overly ripe. Better hungry than a belly filled with aprana. Om Peace!
