Eat, Drink, and be Merry!

Does it really matter what we consume if we are going to die anyway? Really?

This realization is the beginning of sadhana.”
– Maya Tiwari, The Path of Practice

 

Sadhana: a Sanskrit word whose root, sadh, means to reclaim that which is divine in us. Sadhana practices encompass all of our daily activities, working to reconnect the simple things we do daily with that which is divine in us: our power to heal, serve, rejoice, and uplift the spirit. Sadhana practice works to connect internal awareness to external rhythms and ultimately to our own inner wisdom.

One Sadhana practice that I have recently learned and been experimenting with is that of bringing consciousness to my cooking.
