Going back to our daily lives, it is evident that very fine attunement to some spheres of thought may be gained by some individuals, but in some cases, especially so today with the internet, we may study the concepts exposed by such individuals and gain ourselves attunement in that specific sphere.

One example is the sphere of thought of nutrition and lifestyle. Which is the best food to eat for health and longevity and what is the best lifestyle?

I've been pondering this sphere of thought for decades now and only lately I started to gain some attunement. The most credible researchers in this field are confirming today what the masters of raja yoga and kriya yoga already knew. They are expressing their thoughts in finer detail and using the advancements of Dwapara but the basic concepts remain the same.

Sri Yukteswar in a few words expressed his attunement in his book the Holy science. The most suitable food for man, as his anatomy belies, is plant-derived. Other food is good as well though, like fresh dairy products. The best diet is also a function of individual genes polymorphisms, activity, habits, tastes, purposes and so on.

The best diet for meditation has been outlined in the SRF lessons.

The rules to follow to attune to God's sphere of nutrition is to eat moderately and according to our digestive power in the specific day or moment, to eat mainly unprocessed plant-derived food: fruit, vegetables, mushrooms, whole grains or flowers, nuts, dairy products, eggs, maybe for some people modest amounts of fish or meat.

The above is not enough to attune into God's sphere of prolonged life in healthy conditions. We need to get proper exercise, sleep, emotional balance through meditation and stress management, a purpose in life through meditation and other noble endeavours.

Last but not least: the sphere of though of nutrition gives us attunement as to the best fuel for our body. Then we should forget about the fuel and start driving the car/body and act in attunement to other constructive spheres of thought.
