Section 1.1: The Diagnostic Exercise

This exercise, inspired by Madina, involves a group of four individuals.

• Client: The person exploring their relationship with food.
• Food Type: Choices include “Meat”, “Vegan/Vegetarian”, and “Praniovory”.
• Optional Food Type: A creative option, like “Intergalactic Travel Food”.

Exercise Procedure:

The client assigns roles to each food type, receives feedback, and explores feelings associated with each dietary choice: “What do I feel when considering this type of nutrition?” After each exploration, it's crucial to reset emotionally before proceeding to the next role.

Objective:

This exercise aims to enhance understanding of various nutritional pathways and their connection to self-care while broadening one's perspective.

Section 1.2: Personal Reflections

I can relate to the sensations experienced during this exercise—vibrant, light, and flavorful. The enjoyment of food doesn't have to be calorie-rich. I find it intriguing to create unique recipes and imagine eating in space. Maintaining the body feels almost sacred.

Personally, I've embraced various dietary forms. My cravings range from honey and condensed milk to cake with whipped cream. I never considered the significance of prana until now. To me, prana nutrition is a harmonious connection with a radiant essence, although I believe the human body requires meat. Vegetarianism seems more suited for those who are spiritually advanced but have neglected their physical needs.

Prana offers an extraordinary sensation that transcends the earthly realm. Reflecting on my dietary choices, I appreciate the lightness of a raw food diet, despite its drawbacks like a drop in hemoglobin levels. Spiritual practices flourished during that time, and I found myself questioning my existence. Prana elevates this experience, unlocking even greater possibilities. I enjoy all forms of food.

However, I believe in a balanced approach—combining meat and prana in harmony. Why reject any food type? Even beloved fried potatoes can become monotonous if consumed excessively. The body naturally craves variety.

Section 1.3: The Need for Balance

I perceive harmony when all food types are integrated. Solely relying on vegetarianism isn't sufficient; energy exists in every food choice. Accepting this energy doesn't require conscious thought. Meat embodies masculine energy—strong and vital. This notion brings forth a sense of responsibility; consuming meat entails a return to the earth, which may be a consideration for vegetarians.

Through exploring all four dietary paths, I found comfort in each one. Since the age of 16, I’ve avoided meat, not out of disdain but rather a lack of connection. I can eat chicken in a pinch, yet it leaves me feeling detached, as if my philosophy doesn't align with it. A vegetarian diet resonates most with me, and I interpret cosmic nutrition as a conscious selection of what one truly needs.

Reflecting on my relationship with meat, I’ve realized that living exclusively on it isn't sustainable for me. Although I can consume meat, I feel grounded differently.
