    Being awake and aware means you’re unlikely to participate in “the biggest karmic disaster in the world.

    Yoga and meditation inform your diet because itโ€™s mindfulness. And when you are awake and aware of whatโ€™s going on you obviously make better choices. And certainly, you can feel if youโ€™re sensitive. I mean your physical asana to the practice or the entire spiritual yoga practice informs how you relate to the world. I mean the first thing in yoga in the eight parts of yoga is the ahimsa, non-harming. And no one with good sense or no one whoโ€™s aware of their footprint would ever eat an animal under these circumstances. They would not contribute to the abuse of 100 billion animals, you know, per year โ€“ 100 billion. Thatโ€™s the worst common disaster in the world. I mean absolute abuse. I mean born into a life, a short life of extreme suffering only to poison the individual and destroy the planet. No one who practiced their ahimsa which is the first of the Yamas would ever participate in that if he was aware. And then meditation because of mindfulness as well. Mindfulness comes from the physical asana or the yoga practice overall. But no one is aware and gave any thought to or just came from whatโ€™s etched inside of them this spiritual or this piece of God thatโ€™s etched inside them, this thing, would inform them if they sat still itโ€™s made their own decisions they wouldnโ€™t do it. So your diet would change.

    Do you know that 50 percent of African American women over 20 have some form of heart disease? That all the bad cholesterol, every single bit of it comes from animal product. I mean why, you know when there are so many alternatives that are better, that are cheaper. It just makes good sense to move away from an animal product to a plant-based diet.

    And talk about climate change right and everybodyโ€™s discussion of climate change and never mentioned the greatest cause of global warming, the abuse of these animals. The destruction of all the resources on the planet and the planet itself. The cows alone are more destructive to the planet than all the trains, planes and automobiles and boats put together almost times two. So why not mention that when we discuss climate change.

    And I think people just have to make a choice. But also itโ€™s why we go back to the meditation thing. You meditate so you can be present and aware, you know. You donโ€™t have to have the past inform your future since the past and the future will never be here. All you have to do is just the second in the presence and you can change on a dime. The past and the future, just the imagination that never comes. So if you are present even in the second of presence you can shift your life. You donโ€™t have to carry the weight of the burden of whatโ€™s been forced on you or what mistakes youโ€™ve made or you can just be present and operate from really free space.
