Fasting on your spiritual path to God

[Guest guest]

Beginners may start their fasting by skipping a meal each day for one

or two days each week. Best would be to skip breakfast, as by the

morning your stomach is already empty for many hours and is used to

it. When you may feel hungry at the usual time for breakfast, just

think or do anything positive that you may enjoy and that can absorb

all your attention for a while and you notice the hunger disappearing

for some time. It is like a child that wants your attention and if it

doesn't get it, goes playing on its own again. If your hunger sees

you paying attention to something else, it may go for a while, then

try again and after a few tries just stays away. Remember: Keep your

attention on something positive and busy - or meditate deeply. During

this time when you skip for example breakfast, you may drink up to 1

liter of water or in hot whether even more. When you practice this

successfully you may realize that you may feel even stronger without

food than with. The purification of your physical body shows its

positive side-effects. The more you get your body purified by proper

eating habits and some fasting, the more metaphysical energy starts

to flow through you and the better you may start to feel.

 

By now it may be time to skip even two meals a day, for example

breakfast and lunch or lunch and dinner. Whatever is more suitable to

your daily plan of physical work and meditation schedule. But of

course, if you start to skip one or two meals a day for a few weeks,

it is important to have for the remainder of your meals the freshest

possible food. Only the best should be good enough and this means

fresh salads and fruits. Salads and fruits are ideal whenever you

reduce the total volume of food-intake, because they provide the

highest amount of pure natural energy including all important

vitamins and minerals.

 

Some people may now start to think of lack of protein or fat or what

so ever. But remember that elephants also are vegetarian and have

plentiful of muscles and strong bones. ;-))

 

Hundreds of millions of people in Asian countries and else where are

vegetarians and enjoy excellent health.
