A Good Transition Formula

So, if the time has come for change then the first thing to consider is the transition time. For some people it is easier to just go 100% raw immediately and they are able to do, but most people coming from a standard American diet (SAD) or even a standard “cheese and eggs” vegetarian need a transition time and it needs to be long.


In concrete terms we can consider three aspects in our lives and how this law is expressed. In terms of eating food, you can either be healing yourself or hurting yourself.
In terms of physical strength and exercises, you can either be getting weaker or getting stronger. And in terms of mentality, you can either be thinking positive thoughts, or negative destructive thoughts.



The reason why yoga is so important a part of this transition and lifestyle is that it assures the most efficient elimination of the poisons releasing into your bloodstream as the body ejects them in its re-assertion of it’s own domain which relied upon sufficient energy to enable.

So start doing a powerful Astanga or Power Yoga class 3 times a week. So matter what kind of diet you have now, you can start to do yoga 3 times a week. So the first month of a transition time might have no dietary implications at all and simply involves the physical practice of yoga. This will build initial strength and energy reserves, as you begin to sleep better.

The next month eliminate flesh foods and rejoice in that decision, it is not a deprivation but a gift to ourselves and the planet. Begin to eat as much fruit as you can and try to eat fruit when hungry instead of other “snacks”. Next month is time to eliminate dairy foods.
Always take it slow, it could be a year instead of a month, or it could be a week instead of a month, it is up to you and where you are at and thus what your needs are now.

Now begin to do some yoga 4-5 times a week and see if you can do it everyday.
