Eden

I doubt they are talking about the saliva that is generated from the glands under the tongue... but more likely from the glands above the soft pallet in the center region of the head, a "heavenly dew" can perspire which seems to affect the whole cellular organism in really positive ways.

My name is Eden I am living out here on Big Island Hawaii, I've been pretty involved in meditation and yoga practices for almost 8 years now and excited to join this forum and contribute. I had made an introductory post here a couple months ago but I don't know if it ever got approved so here is my second attempt. Thank you

Has anyone here unintentionally gotten to a state where they don't need food to keep up with life normal activities from their meditative and spiritual practices? By food I mean anything of caloric value that goes into your mouth and out the other end. Ie, going days, weeks, months living a normal life, just you aren't eating at all?

There is definitely a strong spiritual community of people here, and the geographic region likely has an effect on ones spiritual pursuits due to the volcanic activity and the tropical weather and clean environment.. Im not too familiar with Aikido yet but a close teacher friend continually suggests that sort of practice to me to enhance my spiritual progress.
