Also?
This might not resonate but i’ll say it anyways
Sitting on the ground as you eat;
Honestly this sounds weird especially in the western world but i assure you its not
This is hard to explain (the why) so until i can find a more “the reason explanation” let me at least explain the instructions of how this is done. I think it may be of benefit to you
Literally have your tray on the ground with you. Criss cross apple sauce or if you can those variations in pdmasana.
Eating simple foods; ie roti, any simple vegetarian dishes (dont have a mass array of options just like one or two with your rice or roti is more than fine)
Eat
Not with a fork
Not with a knife
NOT with a spoon
But your hands.
Very common practice from that region of india,punjab,pakistan; in fact its how i normally eat since chiildhood (obviously not when i go out for meals; theres a time and place for everything)
You need to engage with your five sense more. Eat in silence. Eating is one of the best ways to ground
NO not doritos ; thats not even food your body was made to eat (think about it; its genetically engineered, your body thats been having its DNA passed down for thousands of years just got introduced to a food created in the last 50 years or so; that too its artificial and packaged in weird crap.
So Yeh no; thank you, next)
I mean eat: Vegetables. Nuts. Seeds. Water (good water)
Use steel plates to eat from
Not plastic.
When you eat
No distractions
No tv no nothing just you the food the ground and silence
You need to engage your five sense more
You dont need to do this btw
So many people dont and are fine lol
But its beautiful. And helpful. And a great alternative to some modalities that are limited in nature (ie NFTs)
If that sounds too extra just go get a schumann resonance shirt or item maker or hear the audio
From SM only (please)
This should help you remain in more ease as you continue along your path
