fasting.........

....and this is why I do it. I'll do a 4 day fast once a month as it helps me see myself for what I really am.

I'm a hedonist and chronically smoke weed, drink and do other 'things'. This is not something I'm proud of but it's a hard habit to break and right now at this point in my life I feel I have no desire to stop really. At the same time I know I should try and keep myself grounded so for me fasting is a way to step back and assess the situation. It can get painful but to completely detox is a wonderful feeling, by day 2 or 3 the mental side can be very intense and through meditation, much more so then when not fasting, I've shot off into the cosmos many times -no mind altering chemicals needed.

[/size][size=-1]It's great to get all toxins[/size] and pretty much everything out the body... I tried juice fasting but couldn't hack it having done it with water many times before it didn't feel right... I always find it hard breaking it and will often not eat much for several days after while my body prepares itself for food. 'Any fool can fast but it takes a wise man to break it properly' G.B. Shaw

It's a useful tool and I'll leave it at that.

thanks for sharing, the reverand....
fasting actually is really hrad, and we will invent all kinds of excuses and 'facts" to avoid fasting. Actually, i can even remeber once, after a 3 day fast, i got a bad infection.... its the way the body get rig of OLD problemes, old stuff..... fasting used to be, many thousands years ago, a part of our lives, because, sometimes, we had to go hungry for days, maybe more. you know that the body can be without food for 30-40 days? so fasting for a couple of days, once in a while, can only do you good.....
AND THIS IS A FACT: parts of our environmental problemes are realted to our overconsuming habits. just face it. and realise tha you are part of the probleme. stop blaming all the others

 

I used to fast once a week, but know it's down to once a month or so. As I get older I need more energy replenishment.

My Gods haven't given me dominion over nature, after much meditation I was given stewardship of nature, but we can't dominate nature. The Earth could swat us all like mosquitos.

 

x2. sounds like a plan.
