ganjaboy Posted November 21, 2014 Does anyone have a particular Taoist practice or discipline that they follow for eating? I live in the United States which is a country in which, ironically, it is the abundance of food that is making us gravely ill. So it makes good sense to have good habits that promote spiritual cultivation and growth.  The below page I recently read, and found it to be a good resource for this topic:  http://www.seventhfam.com/temple/books/eattolive_one/eat1_10.htm  I think one large meal a day is more than possible, and honestly makes good sense because you can devote the majority of your day to everything besides cooking or eating. It just seems to be cultivating an "eat to live" mindset. I have never done well with several meals a day.  I've had very religious experiences fasting for a couple days, it seems to open creative and soul channels which are closed after consuming food. I have never gone longer than a few days though because I'm already slender.  I've also read about one bowl meditation where you put everything you want to eat in one bowl. Not sure about the practicality of this if eating one meal a day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RiverSnake Posted November 21, 2014 (edited) It's not the abundance of food. It's the quality of food and our lifestyle....IMO. Edited November 21, 2014 by OldChi 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
