Achieving the ideal state of being is the number one and principal goal of spiritual discipline. Whom do you want to be?
Do you want to be in union with Krishna? Do you wish to be an enlightened being? Would you like to be a active participant of the constant work of the Cosmic Mind or Transcendental Purusha? Some people make this decision and the effect of these decisions influences the entire humanity.
You need to dive deeper into your own heart and your own spiritual nature and there you will find your spiritual ideal. We at Sunshine Yoga Academy
guide you to find that space within your heart and to dedicate all your spiritual practices toward the achievement of your ideal nature.
You do not need to give up wealth or marriage or a good job or any other mundane objects. The road and the destination are one and the same.
What is important is what do you do with the transitory wealth and power and ask yourself if that transitory wealth will be for the benefit of those that come behind you.
The questions is, can you achieve the state of LOVE just by simply loving? The next questions is, Whom do you wish to be?
Love and Blessings to all and Happy Meditations.

We have not yet found a perfect diet. After experimenting for millions of years, we have not found the best way to achieve good nutrition. We eat food but we have not yet understood the method of living and being. What is the right attitude to eat food? Eat to live and but don’t live to eat. We need to develop an attitude that good food is needed for healthy living. Eating good food is not enough. Rather, we must look at how we eat our food. Whatever we eat, we need to eat on time, enjoying the meal. It is also a good idea to eat three meals a day. When I was at the Ashram in India, I learned that we must eat breakfast as a king, lunch as a prince and dinner as a pauper and I certainly did. For the duration of my stay there, I had no digestive issues and truly felt healthy for the fist time in a long time. What a difference eating calmly, without stress and without worries can make in your daily life.
We must remember some important guidelines when it comes to nutrition. Always make sure that you are at peace before eating. If you happen to have had an argument with somebody before dinner, make sure that you take your time, take a deep breath for a few moments and then you are ready to eat. Be cheerful when eating and chew your food well. Remember that digestion starts in the mouth as saliva has the first digestive enzyme in the digestive process. Do not over eat. Overeating and not eating enough are problems of the mind. When you eat a balanced diet you do not overeat. You overeat when the diet is imbalanced or your mind is imbalanced. Do not force yourself to eat. If you are not hungry, do not eat. Furthermore, try not to drink during meals. Drink before or after but not during the meal as liquids dilute the gastric juices. Do not eat very late at night or before going to sleep because that can bring many illnesses.
Start making small changes, be patient with yourself and treat yourself nicely.
