Soul
A tall order.
Food is my karma and this is touching on my food.
A few weeks ago when I was in drastic RA pain, I ate less food. Everything I looked at I see them as giving me inflammation.
Then when RA pain was removed with Homeopathy, I go on full speed eating up anything I can find.
Without Angamardhana I gained weight..and even got into constipation.
But not sure if due to medication.
