Ayurvedic dietary ideals for joining with our cosmic spirit.
1. Food is an offering to your spirit.
2. Food is a loving exchange with the earth our mother
3. The effect of eating for the spirit is different than for eating just to be full or for
taste. When food is cooked with a devotion to oneself and loved ones it is a spiritual and
sensuous affair.
4. Non violent eating leads to purity of our inner nature and helps us along in our quest
to know our inner spirit.
5. Food that has come from environmentally sound agriculture and from people that are in
love with the food they grow benefits the macrocosm and the microcosms within an
individual.
