Have you ever wondered how simple daily habits can change your life? In a fascinating conversation with Chef Hala Ayash (in April 2025) at Dubai’s historic spice market, Sadhguru reveals the secrets behind a balanced life. From food and water to love, sleep, and longevity, his tips blend ancient wisdom with practical advice for modern living.
Sadhguru On Power Of Food And Spices
In the video, Sadhguru highlights the incredible history of Indian spices. These weren’t just for taste – they shaped global trade and were once more valuable than gold in Europe and Arabia. Indian traders influenced cities like Aleppo, creating wealth and culture through spices. Beyond history, Sadhguru emphasises the spiritual side of food. Eating with consciousness and preparing meals with love can affect your energy and well-being. He says, “Food is not just material. It is life.” he says.
He also advises eating wisely: “Eat half of what you think you should eat. Your nerves stabilise. You’ll live longer.” Adjusting food intake according to your activity helps maintain balance in both body and mind.
Water Is More Than Just A Drink
Sadhguru says water is life-making. He suggests storing it in copper or clay pots, cleaning with turmeric and tamarind, and letting it sit so its molecular structure resets. Tap water should also rest for a few hours before drinking. Such simple rituals respect water as more than a material resource, it becomes an essential part of health and longevity.
Sadhguru also warns about modern concerns. Bottled water can contain microplastics that may affect the brain over time. Being mindful of how we store and consume water is a vital part of conscious living.
