Reiki Master has to control his food habits and refrain from eating meat as it contains toxins secreted by animals. Meat also is considered to produce negative energy. Occasional fasting (taking in only water and fruit juices) keeps the system clean and free from waste products. Too much of coffee, tea, soft drinks, chocolate, etc. causes imbalance in the nervous and endocrine system and ultimately in the energy body. The master should not indulge in drinking and, if possible, avoid smoking. Similarly, too much of sugar also is harmful.
