Diet + Spiritual Wellbeing

[parson]

yeah walking is awesome. i do lots and lots of walking. makes your brain grow.


also for meditating, mantras help a lot.

Robert Anton Wilson recommends repeating this: "Shamadi Shawadi Shamadi Shawadi Shamadi Shamadi Shamadi Shawadi"
says its like psychic windshield wipers.

Dunno about spiritual well being but I don't eat: meat, fish, bread/wheat, refined sugar or eggs. I very rarely eat dairy...I slip sometimes when there is birthday cake in my office though.

what do you enjoy eating?

Well I enjoy eating pizza..but I don't haha.

all about vitamins.take multi vitamins (good ones) to ensure your get all the stuff your body needs/doesnt get enough of. (altough this is secondary to a balanced diet) lots of fruit.

as for meditation, dont lock your pre-determined idea of what meditation is inside a box. walking can be useful. anything that you can do/maintain on autopilot whilst still being able to both think and zone out simultaneously. sometimes you dont need your inner dialouge to be completely quiet, you just need it to be more progressive/slower pace. download and listen to some ram dass recordings. will put a smile on your face.
avoid playing depressing/angry music too often. (even if it's dope) i find music effects my mood alot. sometimes more than it should. dont take life too seriously.

dont assume you have to attain anything you dont already have. zoom out

edit spelling mistakes. bit lean

this post helped me a lot

thanks

neem caroli baba just ate like beans n rice and chai tea every day. and milk.

[Pistonsbeneath]

what are these exactly?

[parson]

ram dass talking about his life. (dTr just recommended them)

[alien pimp]

and milk.

UHT?

maybe goat milk, the most accepted by the human body, caw milk after the age of about 13 is useless i heard

[parson]

i think they consider milk to be super good and sacred in India.

[Pistonsbeneath]

ram dass talking about his life.

oh right...i thought for some reason they were guided meditation songs

so he just helps you by inspiring you?

[parson]

right.

[parson]

i downloaded some audio of tibetan singing bowls that i like to zone out to sometimes. a good real-life bowl might help you.

also javanese gamelan can be nice.

[Pistonsbeneath]

do you work at the moment and if so how do you fit these things in with that?

you're not full time with the music are you? (you should be) i see you've got a new tune with skint...bagged it digitally along with the other new tunes...haven't listened yet but i'm sure it's amazing

[parson]

i don't presently have a real job but i'm not making that much from music either.

i mostly only will ever do anything if it is free or i'm getting paid. its nice to get paid a lil more these days tho.

[alien pimp]

i think they consider milk to be super good and sacred in India.

again, i'm curious: caw milk?

not like we should believe anything just because it's an indian tradition, keep the critical thinking active

[Pistonsbeneath]

wish i could quit my job just to get to know myself a bit

it's too stressy and eats up my life....i doubt i would easily get another job not exactly the same as this one...only paid less

[parson]

are you trying to say cow?

i'm talkin about cow milk yeah.

ps:
The serious answer I enjoy:
soup...lots of soup
nuts (for fats and energy)
fruit especially mango and bananas.
vegetables especially avocado.
ratatouille.
humous (for fats).

[bandshell]

i suck at meditating so i just eat a fuckload of mushies and sit in a forest

yeah, that's what I did too. So difficult to meditate.

edit: cheers for the Ram Dass recordings, will check them out.
