Guest guest Posted August 5, 2002 Report Share Posted August 5, 2002 Sat Nam Krishan Shiva Kaur! The melon diet was VERY intense! I felt very clear-headed and focused during it, despite being hungry most of the time. My Hatha yoga practice definitely went up a level -- my balancing poses were so graceful and easy, and I was able to do advanced asanas that I had never even thought to try before. Also Kundalini exercises came easier to me, I could hold my arms up with a little less strain! In daily life, I was a little spacey there for a couple days, and the day of only water I felt a little ill, but it passed. Since I started eating again, I am very hyper-aware of what effects different foods have on me and especially my yoga practice. I am considering this one of the long-term effects. It is helping me eat a lot healthier... and when I don't, I really suffer! Interesting to operate on a clean system! Also I learned that canteloupe is a perfect food for digestive aid. My only complaint, was that it was so very long! About 12 days! What a commitment! Whew! I had managed to fast/cleanse for only 24 hours at a time prior to this one. But I am excited to have done it, I definitely feel a strong sense of accomplishment and have more faith in my discipline. It definitely jump-started my intentions to make fasting part of my sadhana. I am going to be doing the 3-day watermelon fast next week, which I read about it in Shakti Parwha Kaur Khalsa's book, Kundalini Yoga: The Flow of Eternal Power. So I would recommend it to yogis, but I don't know who else would be interested... ha ha! But do it now before the melons go out of season!
