And they are all delicious! So you can find some wonderful inspiration there! Love, Michelle Hi Leah,

However, it is the job you came to do, and have to do it with a smile...Humbles us...and reminds us not to let our egos get in the way :) I feel this way sometimes when teaching a specific group of people yoga and they ask for something odd…It’s like your own personal beliefs get in the way.

I think the bottom line is, for me at least, that you must listen to your body. I have never experienced a sensation of mental fuzziness at times of heavy garlic consumption, nor have I experienced a sensation of heightened energetic sensitivity at times when i have abstained (yes, there have been a few - mostly in india :) ). So do what works and feels good for you. We are all different and there is no one way that people react to things. to each their own. And my own includes garlic :) bless, leah Hi Eve,

It's a bit of a fine line with all the healing properties that we have all known for so long, and western medicine is finally starting to recognise. I guess you could put in down to us weirdies working within the needs of other weirdies? :) But my comment is actually about differing sources of garlic maybe not being that great. In Ayurveda it is "tamasic", a spiritually backward food. The Hari Krishnas' won't touch it. But, then this is where I found it interesting, and I annoyingly can't remember the source of this info, but someone very recognised in marketing and brain-storming groups, well, it's well known that the groups are asked not to partake in any food containing garlic in their lunch break as it affects thought processes. i may have got this off a Frederick Patenaude link a year or two ago Totally, totally, totally get the frustration of the garlic thing.
