We serve three sattvic vegetarian meals and three detox tea daily during a residential Yoga Teacher Training course and retreat program. From the point of view of spiritual science, when we eat food, we receive the kind of energy and life vibrations that the food item carries. Different foods have different types of energy, some bring energy that slows us down, leads to the tendency of our mind towards gross behavior (in other words darkness) and over time makes our whole body lethargic, Covers in layers of spiritual and heavy energy. Completely blocks access to subtle spiritual energies. This is tamasic food. Sattvic food, on the other hand, does not obstruct the natural energy flow of the body, helps build positive life energy and maintains the purity of the mind. Sattvic food is a concept in Ayurveda, an ancient system of traditional medicine from India. Sattvic food is considered pure, nutritious and balanced, and is believed to promote mental and physical well-being. A sattvic diet is generally vegetarian and excludes onions, garlic and other pungent foods as well as foods that are processed or overly spicy. Sattvic food is something that is prepared and cooked in an unprocessed manner with a touch of positive emotions which also enhances the taste and flavor of the food as believed by many and also mentioned in religious texts.
