ingsand even impairs ones ability to move about or buy clothing muchless with ones appearance et cetera. As we are fond of sayingabout the shop "One owes it to the people who have to look atyou to look your best". The skeleton of ones body is only designed to deal with so muchstress. Therefore when one consistently overloads ones skeletalstress variable it creates malfunctions and parts breakage. Onefinds out just how much fun getting back surgery, replacementhips and knees really is. Ones teeth being all there in goodcondition is crucial to digestion therefore weight control. The problems go on and on like trying to find furniture thatfits both at home and out in public such as seat in a bus, autoor theater. Getting through doorways, hallways, aisles crowds,turnstiles etc. The concept is about the "Modus Operandi ofWeight Control" rather than just a diet. What one...

... eats and whenone eats it are more relevant than the quantity. One may drown ahorse yet you can not make it thirsty. As always "Preventative Maintenance" is the easy way out ratherthan trying to repair the damage after the fact.v9-3.4-"Gramalkin®™©1970""Fasting" One of the most important facets of Spiritual Evolution andgeneral good health and healing is fasting. Why do we sleep one third of our life away? To rest our bodyand at least partially empty our subconscious garbage throughdreams. Paramahansa Yogananda said dreams are usually justindicative of "where we are keeping our head". Yet usually our internal organs never get any rest as they areconstantly processing something. They eventually just getexhausted and we die. Fasting lets the internal organs get achance to actually rest, pass time without having to process andtoil gurgle and boil. Fasting may be quite dangerous even crippling and lifethreatening done improperly. The best policy is to fast one daya week and three days once a year as a minimum. Work up to a long fast. First do a fruit fast then a juice fast(with one kind of fruit and juice at a time) then a completefast. Fast one day then eat. Fast two days then eat. Fast threedays then eat etc. DO NOT just take off on a long fast. The body may and will gointo shock and create a health crises, go through too heavy of atoxin dump and poison one, among many other problem scenarios. A three day fast is pretty much safe for the average person atany time. When fasting especially longer fasts best results are obtainedby maintaining a calm quiet low physical activity, low stimulusscenario. The correct way to perform a one day fast is; the day beforehave an evening meal of lightly steamed fresh vegetables andshort grain brown rice. Eat nothing after the evening meal. Eat nothing the next day, drink only water (for thirst nothunger). The next day start the day (break the fast) with one kind offresh fruit for at least two hours. This is a one day fast. Even after the two hours of only fruit eat lightly, no heavyfood. The body is like a sponge, when it is wrung out what issoaked back up is most important. One may do more body damage by breaking the fast incorrectlythan the benefit gained by the fast. Believe it or not there is a big difference in fasting andstarving, it's all in the head. There have been cases of people that did not eat or drink atall. One such case is documented in Yogananda's book"Autobiography of a Yoga". A fabulous book, read it, guaranteeit will help you. The effects of fasting are extraordinary. Even short fasts willget one high, produce a huge gain in awareness, consciousness,and energy level. When we eat much blood rushes to the abdomen essentiallydraining blood and oxygen from the head inducing unconsciousness."Diet" Things that we eat and drink mostly are either "Acid" or"Alkaline" PRODUCING in the body. Almost everything available inWestern Civilization is Acid producing (if not also Acid Mucusproducing), and almost everyone is WAY OVER ACID!! This "Effects" in all manner of "Dis-Ease" psychological andphysical from pot marked skin to violent psychological makeup.It is imperative to have the correct Acid / Alkaline balance. The easy way is to list the alkaline producing; the list is soshort. Cauliflower; baked potato; broccoli?; raw milk; citrusfruit among others. The best policy is a diet of one fourth grain to three fourthsfruits; nuts; vegetables. Vegetarians MUST eat grown above the ground in trees type nuts(almonds, walnuts etc.) to maintain body balance with the cosmos. Faze meat out of the diet in stages to avoid a potentialhealing crises. First stop eating four-legged meat. Then stopeating two-legged meat. Then stop eating no legged meat. Finallystop eating dairy and eggs. There are three types of bodies muscle dominated, nervedominated and gut dominated and three vibratory rate grades offood. The highest vibratory rate is fruits, nuts, vegetables,sprouts, and herb tea. The medium vibratory foods are basically the grains. The lowvibratory foods include the meats, alcohol et cetera. Garbage isdefined by being poisonous, and is shown on the scale as thenext step down from meat. There is supposed to be a lot of "Empty Space" inside onesbody. The denser, mucus producing, lower vibratory foods plug upthe empty spaces in the body with "Acid Mucus" increasingdensity decreasing vibratory rate therefore awareness alsoflexibility and mobility. "Steep herbal teas at least twenty minutes". The "Solar Diet" Based on keeping ones body in balance with the cosmos. Has todo with the angle that the Suns rays strike the food duringgrowth in relationship with ones daily life cycle. There arethree basic types of consumables. "Morning Food", which growsabove the ground in trees (E.G. apple, orange, nuts etc.)."Afternoon Food", which grows on the ground (tomato, corn)."Night Food", which grows under the ground (potato, radish). There are six "Anytime Foods" unfermented herb tea, brewersyeast, bean sprouts, molasses, honey, and short grain brownrice, that may be eaten at anytime without disrupting bodybalance with the cosmos, and some exceptions like banana (anight food). Practicing the "Solar Savatic Diet" will result in keeping thebody in balance with the cosmos; a physical Decarbonization andincrease in vibratory rate an "Ease"; to the point ones body mayhandle the flow of "Cosmic Consciousness". Always start the day with fruit, sweet one day citrus the next.Eat citrus by its self. The Solar Diet is preformed to ones own life cycle. If one getsup at six pm. it is morning to you eat morning food, in themorning of your day, say the first six hours. Should one misstotal adherence to the Solar Savatic Diet at least introducefood in order at a meal. First the juice, then the toast, thenthe hash browns. Lightly steamed is best cooking policy."The Liquid Diet" One of the best weight control techniques is the liquid diet. A woman of my acquaintance lost hundreds of pounds over aperiod of several months on a liquid diet formulated by herDoctor. The food, regular examinations and schedule wereprovided by the Doctor with an "adapt to the new you" course.The food was soups with tiny particles of whatever in it andshakes et cetera manufactured especially for them. The Weight Management Program 1255 Post Street San Francisco, California 94109-6703 1 415 771 1821 / 3528 = Fax# http://www.weightmanagement.net/ "Smoothie Meals" By using a blender to liquefy food one may make a smoothie outof almost anything from lasagna to salad even with meat.Progress through the blender speeds from slow to fast or to theliquefy setting. Simply add some herbal tea or water to whatever and liquefy.Hot or boiling liquid may be used to help keep hot food hot. The results are amazing. The food is so filling and easyassimilate or digest. It goes through the body in a flash,leaves little waste and really helps control ones weight andmake one feel better."Diet Herbal Tea" Diet Herbal Tea is one of the best aids in weight control andgeneral good health. One of the better brands of diet tea is "Nutra-Slim Tea byHealth Venture Inc. Oakland, California 1 510 635 8866. All of the diet teas seem to work (some better than others) andthey all have the same horrible tasting herb in them. Drink themstraight, zero sweetener or milk et cetera. Diet Herbal Tea is marvelous at cleaning out the intestines anddissolving fat. One should refrain from getting too obsessedwith diet tea or anything else for that matter. Use a bag of Diet Herbal Tea in a quart of boiled water and letit steep for an hour. One in the morning and one at night isoften a good modis operandi, or just one in the morning or atnight. It is a good idea to stay close to a bathroom at least atfirst."Hatha Yoga Properly done "Hatha Yoga" does wonders for balancing theseelements of body and food types. Master Vishnu Divanandadisciple of Sivanananda taught sets of postures. Master level Hatha Yoga is probably the most helpful spiritualevolution experience the author ever had. Hatha is the physicalyoga postures, stand on the head et cetera. Major break through in physical adeptness, awareness and energyflow. After doing Hatha correctly for a while the body seems toeffortlessly float along, feet hardly touching the ground. Do Hatha correctly today tomorrow you are high. That's all dayfrom the moment eyes open until gone to bed at night no matterhow long a day one has. The Chiropractor was also one of the most helpful experiencesthe author ever had. Getting an adjustment from a goodChiropractor advanced my Hatha five or ten years in oneadjustment. How far one could bend over to touch ones toes forexample improved. Most people have bones that are out of alignment. In fact whenthe bones get in alignment it feels weird at first one is soused to having then out of alignment. To the best of my knowledge there is no place for the averageperson to learn Master level Hatha Yoga at the turn of thetwenty-first century. v11-16.5 Swami Vishnudevananda, decuple of Sivananda was the onlyGuru/fully realized Master that the author ever heard of thattaught "Hatha Yoga" to the open public and he is dead. The other Gurus personally only teach Hatha to their disciplesthat are going to be Hatha instructors. The author had spent years trying to learn Hatha from books etcetera. Then the knowledge came through that the only way tolearn Hatha Yoga correctly is from the Guru personally. Seek and ye shall find. So seeking the Hatha Guru began. Ooobopshazam practically instantly Swami Vishnu Devananda appeared. Hetaught me to do Hatha correctly in two, two-hour classes. Interestingly when in Swamage's presence one could do anythinghe ask you to. Suddenly you were a genius. Both Vishnu Devananda and Satchidananda published excellentbooks on Hatha Yoga. These are listed in the suggested readinglist. However in their books also all other Hatha Yoga books I haveseen teach the one posture rest one posture rest technique. Evenin the classes at their Ashrams that are taught by the disciplestaught the one posture rest technique. Good luck finding enough time to complete all the postures withthis modus operandi. The one posture rest technique is used because the books mustbe usable by any one of any age or physical condition who picksthem up. What Vishnu Devananda taught in person was the sets of posturesthen rest technique. One would do a set of severalscientifically figured out compatible postures then rest in theCorpse position three minutes between sets. He of course knewwhat the disciple could do without harming ones self. In the back of Satachananda's book is a list of postures onemust do every day. All of the postures are done for sixty seconds each except theHead Stand and Shoulder Stand for seven minutes and the Ploughfor half the time of the Shoulder Stand or three and a halfminutes. One works up to the full time for each posture. The sets Vishnu Devananda showed me are coming soon: The Half and Full Lotus postures are on the list. So sit in oneor the other (the Full Lotus if one can) and do one hundredCleansing Breaths and one hundred Prana Yama Breaths. Then do the Sun exercise twelve times. Then rest three minuteset cerera. Angels can fly because they take themselves lightly. Good luck, love, thank you.Gramalkin***...
