April 2014 Yogic Living
You don't grow old by years, you grow old by food. The bottom line is not how much you know, the bottom line is how much you eat and what you eat.
-Yogi Bhajan
Spring and Fall are good times to cleanse and purify the body, mind, and spirit. This month we focus on Cleansing and the Yogic Diet. As you can see from our content list this month, Yogi Bhajan gave us many recipes, kriyas, and bits of ayurvedic wisdom about health, well-being, and yogic cleansing. Try a 40 day cleansing diet of fruits, nuts and veggies, or a 40 day sadhana with a kriya for digestion/elimination. There's lots to choose from.
