Trouble Eating - Fish and Lube Formula For Meditative State

[2008]

[Attendee]

I'm having a little trouble with the crossover of eating every three, four hours. Plus I'm doing yoga twice a day, straight for at least an hour, sometimes two.

And I'm not supposed to eat like three hours before yoga.

[Aajonus]

Who says? That's if you're eating cooked foods, that's not if you're eatign raw foods.

[Attendee]

That's what I wanted to find out. So, what's better? Like an egg or an eight ounces of milk, 16 ounces of milk?

[Aajonus]

Depends on what you want to achieve in your yoga.

[Attendee]

It doesn't matter. I just wanna have the food in me. What I eat before, does it matter?

[Aajonus]

It depends on what you want to achieve. Is it to create a better, more flexible body? Or is it for meditation?

[Attendee]

A little bit of both.

[Aajonus]

Okay. Then eat fish with something, eggs or some butter. The lubrication formula and fish.

[Attendee]

Most of the time, it's like, I'm getting up and I've been sleeping for three hours or four hours and I'm afraid to have an egg or two, like I used to prioritize doing yoga because I might be getting up in another hour, doing my yoga.

So, then sometimes I'm done it with my yoga and I realize it's been six or seven hours since I eat something. So, you're saying I can eat like an egg an hour before my yoga practice, 40 minutes before my yoga practice.

[Aajonus]

No, because remember the egg digests in 23 minutes, it only uses three inches on the intestines.

So, you're gonna be very hungry with just an egg.

[Attendee]

I'm thinking of like milk or an egg.

[Aajonus]

Have your milkshake, that's fine. But if you really want a meditative state where you can transcend something, lubrication formula with fish. it'll help flexibility, it'll help everything.

[Attendee]

And you're saying how much before I begin my practice?

[Aajonus]

40 minutes.

[Attendee]

40 minutes, it'll be completely digested.

[Aajonus]

Not completely, enough to keep you from getting hungry for two, three hours and do the job.

[Attendee]

Okay. And same thing with a milkshake?

[Aajonus]

But it'll be out of the stomach.

That's the point, be outta the stomach and duodenum. Duodenum is the second part of the stomach. It'll be completely out of the stomach, including the duodenum within 40 minutes, that meal.

[Attendee]

Whether it is a whole milkshake or the lubrication?

[Aajonus]

With the fish, yes.

[Attendee]

Now, what if I just have the lubrification, mostly I'm having chicken around the house right now.

[Aajonus]

Okay. Then chicken and the lube formula. That way you won't get hungry during your whole exercise, you'll be able to stay focused.
