Namaste all,
Hopefully this question is easy to answer. Does one have to meditate on only an empty stomach? I keep hearing differing accounts of this. If I were to follow the advice of the teachings of the guru I follow - in this case Sri Sri Ravi Shankar of the Art of Living (yes, I'm part of the Art of Living...sorry for not mentioning this before ) - it would be yes, I could only meditate on an empty stomach. But I've heard from other sources, such as the president of the local temple I go to, that it's not necessary to have a completely empty stomach, and that in fact hunger can detract from one's meditation.
Of course I know not to pig out before meditation, that much I understand. Also, observing fasts for me is not really an option, considering my diabetes (as a matter of fact, not eating for a long period can raise my blood sugar for some weird reason).
So...what's a meditation practitioner like me to do?
