Why avoid anything that is packed

-
Packed stuff are so devoid of taste and nutrition.

 In spite of what is written on the label ; 
Coz' In the lab spray dried Orange juice powder can still show molecules of Vitamin C and actual orange residue  ; but whether the tinned juice made from this, if ingested will be absorbed by the body is questionable. Packed stuff that does not spoil is already dead . If it were alive bacteria would consume it. Bacteria are more sensible than humans.

Live food ( tinned fresh juice or  any other packed food product ) is also poisoned beyond being edible,  with additives;
Common Food additives:

Antioxidants ( they stop food becoming rancid or changing colour ) - a chemical posion - pls do not mistake this one for the naturally occuring antioxidants in live food

Colours - to fool you

Emulsifiers - or in other words detergents that coagulate stuff that do not want to stay together. eg. Water and Fat.

Stabilisers - stored food becomes unstable ...so :). These could also be fillers to add weight/ volume.

Flavours /taste  enhancers - because the natural food is dead it will not taste good to you

Preservatives - chemical that kills life ( microorganism bacteria ) - also kills you as you are just a macro organism

The Govt has defined safe levels for these - but what is safe today is not safe after 10 years when a tiny cancer erupts in a human and then the additive gets banned. Just because a rat does not die with the additive in 10 days in a lab test today is no good reason for you to consume a chemical

The Conscious Omnivore

I did think of mentioning as Non-vegetarian rather than Omnivore but it kind of gave a unique status to us humans; which is not required. Many humans are Omnivores and that’s it. A vegetarian is an Herbivore and that is fine too.  Ok now to the point. If we as humans feel that we necessarily have to supplement with animal food/products for any reason ( for eg.medical advice ) I suggest below is probably a way to do it right ; which makes us fully conscious humans. Basically the act of consumption needs to be done consciously.( I have not added the taste, cultural practice of eating meat and other aspects as that is outside the purview of this blog ) 1) B efore eating or cooking please start with thanking the food item(Milk; animal meat ,egg, fish etc ) for having spared its life for us. While thanking kindly experience that we are enjoying a major luxury. The luxury is that of having killed(milk is involves killing too);  another living being that could have seen God's sky...

The Next vacation

Most of us long to visit new places ; relish visiting remote lands, exploring and experiencing the different, savouring the change. But it will never be enough. We will keep craving for new experiences. To really appreciate this life and break the monotony( rather shock you out of monotony); it will be worthwhile to visit Hospitals Old Age homes Slaughter houses Animal shelters Sanctuaries for the mentally ill Home for the disabled/blind Orphanages/ refugee Camps Centres for palliative care for the terminally ill Cemeteries/ Burial grounds “ Returns” from these visits; To know that we just got incredibly lucky to be just the way we are To permit any residual Pride to give way to humility To realize that however mighty man is , all can change in a few seconds To those who fear death…..; please know those who wish for death To help open one’s eyes in kindness Realize how much simple words of love and ...

New to Prana ?

-

For the uninitiated will begin with an introduction to Prana . Indian languages use this word to convey different meanings. Simply put, it is "Life". I would however be using the word to convey the true meaning - "Cosmic Energy". My sole purpose is to "hope" to communicate to as many, the true meaning of Prana as I have understood it; from short guided learnings from a few professionals and also from personal experiences. Will also suggest a few amateur tips to tap it to derive health and happiness. The fundamental philosophy is that, any form of life/anything living, can be so, only as long as at least a bit of Prana remains in it . The 'measurable' component of this Prana is the 'Aura'. ( Aura I mean is in "Pranic" terms. We of course have the regular alternatives to detect life : Heart beat, Pulse...etc. ). An aura surrounds anything living; and this aura is self generated. Once an organism is not surrounded by this s...
