Although a vegetarian diet is not necessary when following the path of yoga, it is beneficial and will help nourish the growth of wisdom and spiritual love in your heart.
Foods in the mode of goodness
The yoga texts describe how everything in this world is continually influenced by three forces of nature or modes—the mode of goodness, the mode of passion, and the mode of ignorance. The mode of goodness is characterized by purity, intelligence, peacefulness, compassion, tolerance, and good health. Eating foods in the mode of goodness helps us develop these desirable qualities. These foods include:
- Sweet, juicy, palatable, and easy to digest foods, such as fruit and vegetables, milk products, honey, grains, nuts and seeds, and beans and other legumes.
- These foods form the basis of a yoga diet and are ideal for anyone wanting to live a healthier, happier life.
Stress is the killer of happiness. If we let stress build up, it can cause disastrous harm. Relieve stress and deeply relax your body and mind with these techniques and enjoy the sense of calm, clarity, and deep happiness they bring.
Rest in these guided meditations to help uncover your innate spiritual qualities and come to know a deeper happiness.
By taking time out each day to engage in one of these meditations, you can realize your true identity and the inner peace and deep, lasting happiness that comes from this realization.
