Diet, Shatkarmas and Amaroli - Yogic Nutrition & Cleansing for Health and Spirit

by Yogani

"Diet, Shatkarmas and Amaroli" provides diet guidelines and practices for cleansing and optimizing the functioning of the inner neurobiology. This is more than a diet book. It is an integrated set of instructions on yogic nutrition, hygiene and rejuvenation, aiding and facilitating the process of human spiritual transformation. The human body is the doorway between our outer world and a boundless inner realm of peace, love and creative energy. When the doorway has been opened through balanced spiritual practices - health, productivity and happiness in daily life are the natural result. Yogani is the author of two landmark books on the world's most effective spiritual "Advanced Yoga Practices - Easy Lessons for Ecstatic Living," a comprehensive user-friendly textbook, and "The Secrets of Wilder," a powerful spiritual novel. The "AYP Enlightenment Series" makes these profound practices available for the first time in a series of concise instruction books. "Diet, Shatkarmas and Amaroli" is the sixth book in the series, preceded by "Samyama," "Asanas, Mudras and Bandhas," "Tantra," "Spinal Breathing Pranayama," and "Deep Meditation."

About the author

Yogani is the author of the Advanced Yoga Practices (AYP) system, including more than a dozen Instructional Titles available in Paperback, eBook and AudioBook editions, covering all aspects of Full-Scope Yoga Practice. Since 1970, he has crossed the lines between many traditions, developing an effective integration of methods including Deep Meditation, Spinal Breathing Pranayama, Hatha, Kundalini, Tantra, Self-Inquiry, and more. It is a flexible, scientific approach rather than a rigid, arbitrary one, and open to public scrutiny, as all spiritual knowledge should be nowadays. He has no desire for guru status - only to have the joy of making a small contribution to helping the disciplines of spiritual practice become open to everyone. He wishes to remain anonymous, preserving a quiet life in practices. AYP is not about the author. It is about all who long for knowledge.

I'm considering drinking my own piss. 5 stars.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

-Forced diets don't work due to stress and self-judgement. The desire has to come from within.
-That desire from within happens as a natural consequence of regular meditation, pranayama, etc. which will naturally compel you to eat more healthily
-A good starting point for any diet is light and nutritious (sattvic) balanced diet containing fruits, vegetables, foods with good fiber content, and plenty of water
-Moderation (Mitahara)
-Regular aerobic exercise
-Regular, balanced daily activity (not too much activity, not too much rest)
-Don't overcook or undercook food
-Beware compulsive/addictive patterns including alcohol, tobacco, caffeine, refined sugar, medicine and food supplements, chronic overeating, chronic undereating
-Beware the "magic bullet" syndrome: excessively consuming one food or drug believing it to be a cure-all.

Discusses benefits and procedure for cleansing methods (shatkarmas), fasting, and urine therapy.

Good introduction book on diet and supporting the book with deep meditation and spinal breathing by Yogani. Bit more details on food types might have been nice addition
