Well I wouldn't say I've mastered anything. I learned some from the videos and most of the "Magical Passes" book. I usually practice them as full sets doing each pass several times (depending on how much time I have to do them). And then also throughout the day I'll do a short pass here and there when I find a spare moment and space.
I'm not sure why eating wasn't mentioned much in Castaneda's books. Perhaps it's because there's no big secret to eating well. Don Juan said that "the body has to be perfection before the will is a functioning unit." This would very obviously imply eating impeccably as well.
I think that eating well is understood by modern man (and so is eating garbage
). We actually had a food discussion on another thread, and I posted this link there, but here it is again:

There's nothing really special about that site, I just found it recently and liked it. I'm sure there are many other good ones out there.
One thing I have noted though is that Nagualists are generally not vegetarians. There's an interview somewhere where Taisha addresses this, and I personally asked a Tensegrity instructor about it during a period when I was trying out vegetarianism. He told me that none of the serious practitioners were vegetarians, and that the body needs the energy supplied by meat.
