AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I am part of a prominently Chinese research group in Singapore, where we usually we go for our group dinner in some very high-end hotel once every couple of months. I don’t get involved with drinking along them, but always after coming back I feel extremely disturbed and pain in my legs even on the next day. Why does it happen and what should I do?🌙🍽️🍵

Regardless of the reasons behind your experience/observation, one should listen to what your body is telling you. I understand that you cannot possibly avoid the meetings. But is the weekly evening dinner necessary or indispensable? If yes, then it is best to offer it inwardly to the Divine and turn the dinner into Prasad and the meeting into a real time practice for equanimity. Call Her name inwardly even as you go through life and things.

Yes, do ensure that you take enough fluids which is quite helpful to flush out many things out of the system. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da
