You asked for meal suggestions and have gotten very few, while you have gotten a lot more diet advice. >.< I'm vegan (more or less) so what I eat is necessarily so but here are two meals I make a lot. I particularly like them because when I busy I can make them in large quantities and have the leftovers for a while. PM me if you want actual recipes. "Garlicky-Pasta" Pasta and a variety of veggies (usually chick peas, kale, and broccoli) with enough olive-oil to keep the pasta from sticking horribly and loads of garlic. "Fried rice" - the way I make this now really isn't fried Rice and a variety of veggies (green beans, carrots, onion, cabbage, broccoli etc.) seasoned with some soy sauce and cilantro if I have it. I used to put chicken and or egg in this when I ate them. You can "fry" this with basically no oil and it comes out great. For breakfast I usually have a couple pieces of fruit when local fruit is in season or I have a bowl of some sort of cooked grain (brown rice or oatmeal usually)

If someone attacks you, they have lost harmony, with themselves, with you and with the universe. If you have the skill the kindest thing you can do for them is to help bring them back into harmony. If the attack is physical then this would be done by self defense. However self-defense in the above context must mean limiting any pain/damage done to another. The amount you can limit it is necessarily based on the level you have attained in your martial art or fighting style and the spiritual nature of that art/style. It need not be a question of ego of self vs. them. It is merely like bringing a lost sheep back into the fold.

Hello I just found these forums. I'm interested in Taoism. I have studied Aikido for many years and I am just beginning to practice Nei Gong. I hope we can all learn a lot from each other. Cheers
