Sadhguru Tips: For most humans, eating is a routine. However, Sadhguru believes that eating is like a holy ritual that should not be just a routine. Moreover, as important as the kind of food you consume, it is also important to see how you consume the food. Various factors come under this, such as position, movements and so on. Sadhguru prescribes valuable rules to follow for the proper way of eating food, that can make most of the benefits of the food you eat.
Attention
Sadhguru says to eat with intention whenever you are eating. Eating should not be a discipline but maximum attention should be put into eating which can make us transform
Gratitude
Sadhguru urges people to feel gratitude for the food they consume. This can help you enjoy the meal, making it one of the greatest pleasures known to humankind. Moreover, it is symbolic of the oneness of existence and devotion.
Position
Sahdguru says that the ideal position to take while eating food is sitting on the floor with crossed legs. In yoga, one always crosses their legs towards the highest energy, instead of keeping the legs open. This also applies to anything that is consecrated, including food items. Especially when someone is really hungry, the food should not be exposed to the whole body.
Ditch utensils
While eating food, Sadhguru advises to use hands instead of a fork. Firstly, we are uncertain whether it has been properly washed or just wiped off. Apart from that, eating with hands is a way of connecting with food. Eating with hands lets you feel the food and in turn, lets you enjoy the food.
Chewing
While eating, to facilitate proper digestion, it is crucial to chew the food well. Sadhguru tells people to chew it 24 times.
Enjoy food quietly
While eating, one should enjoy eating the food in silence. Talking while eating food can lead to choking and other hazards. Therefore, silence while eating food is important to maintain.
2-minute rule
Sadhguru talks about waiting for two minutes before eating. Staying really hungry is also a part of yoga. And when you finally get the food, you must wait for 2 more minutes before eating, as a part of invoking prayer.
