Organ health is also very important. The yogic system is evolved so that organ health is also taken care of. Even if you have a lot of muscle, if your liver is not working properly, what is the use? It is very important that the body is flexible and usable. There is also something called organ comfort. One aspect is that most of the vital organs of the body are in the chest and abdomen region. These organs are not rigid, they are not fixed with bolts and clamps. They are loose, hanging in nets. Only if you sit with your spine erect, your organs will be in the maximum possible comfort. Now, the modern idea of comfort is to lean backwards and slouch. If you sit in such a posture, your organs will never be comfortable. They will not function the way they need to.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Keeping the body erect is not because we do not like comfort, it is because we understand and experience comfort in a completely different way. You can train your muscles to be comfortable with your spine erect but you cannot train your organs to be comfortable while slouching. There is no way to do it. So, we choose to train the body, so that our skeletal system and muscular system are comfortable sitting this way&#8230;. <a href=\"https:\/\/isha.sadhguru.org\/us\/en\/wisdom\/article\/yoga-vs-gym\">[continue reading]<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The mind does not like meditation<\/h3>\r\n\r\n<p>You cannot do meditation but you can become meditative. Meditation is a certain quality. It is not a certain act. If you cultivate your body, your mind, your energies and your emotions to a certain level of maturity, meditation will naturally happen. It is just like if you keep the soil fertile, if you give it the necessary manure and water and if the right kind of seed is there, it will grow and bloom into flowers and fruits.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Flowers and fruits will come out of a plant not because you want it, but simply because you created the necessary, conducive atmosphere. Similarly, if you create the necessary atmosphere within yourself, on all the four dimensions of who you are, then meditation will naturally flower within you.

Making the Right Food Choices<\/h3>\r\n<p>As life evolves, the information and memory an organism carries get increasingly complex. In the yogic tradition, we always said you must eat what is furthest away from you, genetically. In that sense, plant life is furthest away from us. If you must eat non-vegetarian food, we advised the consumption of fish, because among the animals, it is furthest away from a human being, if you look at it from an evolutionary perspective. As the first animal life on the planet is thought to have evolved in water, the first <em>avatara<\/em> was <em>matsya avatara<\/em> or the fish&#8230; <a href=\"https:\/\/isha.sadhguru.org\/us\/en\/wisdom\/article\/what-to-eat-making-right-food-choices\">[ continue reading]<\/a><\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<h3>5 Tips For Healthy Eating<\/h3>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>Sadhguru also gives us the yogic perspective on chewing your food.<\/p>\r\n<p><em>\u201cIn yoga we say, \u2018If you take a morsel of food, you must chew it twenty-four times.\u2019 There is a lot of science behind this, but essentially, one thing is your food gets pre-digested in your mouth and will not cause dullness in your system. Another thing is, if you chew twenty-four times, the information of that food gets established in your system and every cell in your body will be able to start judging as to what is right and not right for you \u2013 not in terms of the tongue but about what is appropriate for the whole system. If you do this for some time, every cell in the body will have the education as to what it likes and does not like.\u201d\u00a0\u2013 <strong>Sadhguru<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\r\n<p>Sadhguru reminds us that food is about the body, and <a href=\"https:\/\/isha.sadhguru.org\/in\/en\/wisdom\/article\/what-to-eat-making-right-food-choices\">the best way to decide what to eat<\/a> is to ask the body.\u00a0He explains that rather than developing eating habits which only make us function repetitively, it is better to decide on our food consciously through our intelligence.<\/p>\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/isha.sadhguru.org\/us\/en\/wisdom\/article\/how-to-eat-properly\">[read full article]<\/a><\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<h3>4 Remarkable Health Benefits of Turmeric<\/h3>\r\n<p>Those who suffer from cold related diseases and find their nostrils blocked every morning, will benefit a lot from the consumption of <a title=\"The Benefits of Neem for Health and Vitality \u2013 A Yogic Perspective\" href=\"http:\/\/isha.sadhguru.org\/blog\/yoga-meditation\/demystifying-yoga\/benefits-of-neem\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">neem<\/a>, pepper, <a title=\"How Is Honey Good For You \u2013 A Yogic Perspective\" href=\"http:\/\/isha.sadhguru.org\/blog\/yoga-meditation\/demystifying-yoga\/is-honey-good-for-you\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">honey <\/a>and turmeric.
