The Sadhana of Positive Attitude and Non-Resistance to the Present

The Raw Food eating and Yoga practice Sadhana leads to a more conscious awareness of mental processes. This opens the door to a power of triangulation where the Attitude is the third major point.

Core Analogy:
Consider a song which is playing on the radio as you walk in a room and you find rough and a little grating. Since the song is initially disliked you begin to resist it and wish that it would end. This resistance to the song is expressed in a resistance pattern or tension in the body as well.

But then all the sudden you realize that the voice of the singer sounds a bit familiar and then you recognize it to be your favorite artist. In fact you were listening to a brand new song by your favorite singer. Instantly upon this realization your disposition toward the song changes. You soon feel yourself accepting the music deep into your body and listening/receiving the song with gratitude. Soon you are gently swaying to the music and happy to be listening to the song which is by now recognized to be quite good.

This analogy is helpful on many fronts in understanding how a positive attitude can create your reality as you go through your life one present moment at a time.

First of all the “song” can be any “person in your life” whom you initially resist because perhaps that person has a negative energetic pattern and you are initially repulsed. But then as you look a little closer at the person there seems to be something that you recognize not as being deserved of scorn, but rather of love. And with an open heart and love in your eyes you enter the field of that person and instantly they are transformed to lovable and beautiful spiritual beings on the path to self-improvement and doing their best.

This is how a positive attitude operates to form an enlightened energy field.

The Role of Exercise

Eating well is not enough. You have GOT to exercise. Eating well is half the picture, it is precisely half, it is very important, but the other half is exercise. We are, all animals are, designed to express our bodies physically daily. We are designed to have to earn our food. So it is worked into our physiology that we are going to function better, we are going to heal faster, by exercising daily.

There are all sorts of exercises out there, you can do whichever ones you want, but the best ones are the ones that are daily, are systematic, and are as vigorous as you feel is appropriate for you and then always moving up. Starting slow and always moving up, from where ever you start, it does NOT matter. I am a yoga teacher so I say do yoga.

Because this style of yoga is cardio-vascular, it is opening up the muscles, it is benefiting the endocrine systems, it does everything. If you have other exercise fine, just make sure that they are not hurting you. If you are running, make sure that your knees are not going bad. If you are lifting weights, make sure that you don’t have shoulder injuries. Make sure that whatever you are doing that is in the effort of benefiting you is really benefiting you.

So vigorous exercise! Do something everyday. Vigorous walking do it, if it is Yoga do it, what ever you are going to do do it. Just do something! Otherwise you can eat well all you want but it isn’t the whole story, it isn’t the whole picture. You got to move your body.

Our Brain

The brain is an organ. It functions as it is designed in very complex and minimally understood ways. One thing is fairly clear is that as humans we don’t really understand the powerful and immensely complex activities which the brain is responsible for and does. The brain is a power center and chemical production center and a analysis center and a perceptual center and is involved in myriad aspects of keeping the body in balance and in good health. And yet the most important way to look at the brain in the context of health is as an organ. Just another organ that has a divine blueprint from which it does the jobs that it is assigned as best it can with the resources it has. And so as any other organ has the right to do, the brain can also either be functioning well or not functioning well. It can either be in health and balance or not. And just like any other organ, it is not a matter of coincidence that the brain is not functioning optimally. The quality of the blood determines the quality of the organism and thus the health of the brain and thus the quality of thought. It is virually impossible to keep a organ as highly refined and specific as the human brain in high octane proper working condition in a poisoned and drugged circulation system. All depressions, stemming from a lack of appreciation, a lack of gratitude, lack of understanding about the nature of Life and God, is a first symptom of a debilitated system. The well honed and primed human brain is a sensitive and radiantly powerful organ/aspect of our bodies and is a perceiver of spiritual truth inherently. We are spiritual beings living a human experience, but so long as we eat as humans were intended to eat, we continue in our spiritual beingness and if we digress we come to experience the uniquely human experiences of degenerative disease in its various expressions.
