About vegetarianism and awareness.

As is usually the case, the fashion on Vegetarianism denies this very body-spiritual process of its meaning.
Vegetarianism - it's not when you decide not to eat meat. This is when your mind your body is restructured in such a way that the meat for you ceased to be a staple food.

Awareness - the ability to observe their actions, habits, thoughts, mental processes, physiological processes, and how all this is the pattern of your being with a specific life story and make choices

. The clearer you can see the picture, the more your body is changing, because you stop to do automatic actions, and are able to recognize the smallest signals of the body and the outside world. You are targeting a lot better in the world and in ourselves. And then you stop to take actions speak the words and eat, that bring you harm.

As long as man has not developed this ability in itself (be aware of themselves and the world deep), regular rhythm of life and power are for him a source of energy for the development of its attention. And it has other sources at this point no.
But this is not enough for the development of awareness. We need to exercise the body, mind and soul. They help develop attention, to see where energy is expended in vain, to internal and external conflicts, for example.
Conflict resolution helps liberate occupied in the conflict and to redirect its energies on the development of awareness.
Changes in behavior, emotions and thought processes entail and changing physiological processes. So vegetarianism itself does not make you healthy and spiritual. This is the result set of interrelated and attuned to one another practitioner.

Awareness is developed in the following areas:
1. Developing the ability to ignore in the here-and-now! Habitual (automatic) action and manage to make another selection. The practice (at all points is the same):
 - A period of experimentation with a variety of options
.  - Finding new ways of acting
.  - Experimentation with new skills, their grinding and honing
. 2 Development of the ability to notice the large automatic processes (patterns) and analyze them on the subject, at which point an automated script you are right now, and what other choices can do to change the script. behavior management scenarios.
3. Developing the ability to notice patterns and emotional habits. Managing emotions.
4. Developing the ability to notice patterns and thinking habits. Management thoughts.
5. Developing the ability to notice the physiological habits. physiological processes management.

The most difficult time - it is management thinking and physiology. This is the most subtle, imperceptible to the human mind processes, but they also lend themselves to the awareness and management, as well as tougher - emotions and actions

. A person capable of a minimum set of social skills, is a semi-automatic, and differs little from the animal, a trained pain and pleasure. Our society is deeply Automatic as the automaticity of its units. Naturally, if the elements of automaticity of the system, then the system is automatic, and the larger formation -. Too
