Self learning

visualisation if you cant do the asana visualize - shockingly effective
struggle of the ego, let go and go with the flow instead of resisting.
When things dont go our way, if we dont resist the new way, we will see that the new way has lot to offer.

fear of suffering

Fear of things is greater than the thing itself.
I am so afraid of feeling hungry, feeling cold in cold weather, of cold shower.
Our feelings keep us in a tight leash :-D very much in control ;-)
We go to great lengths so as to not feel these feelings. Especially in the modern civilized world we are not used to feeling unpleasant feelings at all.

It would be a good training to slowly, allowing ourselves to experience and explore the unpleasant feelings and learn to relax into them. to be done kindly very slowly :-) Or the feelings will rebel.

lessons from the ashram 1

I am fasting ( Fruit fast) to
get over the fear of hunger
get over the attachment to food

(This is the motivating factor there are others reasons like  may be lose weight and better health and all that as well) 

3 rules of weight loss

Only 3 simple rules

1. Eat Only when u are hungry
2. Eat only untill you are just full
3. Chew very well, like a cow

We can follow these rules only once our bodies are cleansed. Otherwise our cravings dont let us get correct gauge of hunger and fullness.

3 day cleanse Day  1 fruits and Raw veg, Day 2 only lemon water, Day 3 only juices and soups- liquid diet.

It is good to do this in spring and autumn

Weekly fast- Weekly one day start with soup for dinner, then slowly reduce to only soups and fruits for the whole day.
