Guest guest Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Shaktipat Fasting Hey I've regurgitated my old post about fasting for the Shaktipat. Some of Chrism's thoughts are at the bottom. It can help you focus, set your intention clearly and be helpful for your shaktipat... By doing a small short fast for shaktipat 4X a year, it can be a sort of mini-cleanse as well. If you give it a whirl, be careful not to overdo it if you've never fasted before. Good luck! bradly Hey everyone, Time to think ahead if you will fast during the next Shaktipat. Chrism has told us before a one day fast on the first day of Shaktipat, or a three day fast, finishing with the first day of Shaktipat is best. If you do the three day fast, munch on only root vegetables or the juices of them the first two days. Look at the safeties for some ideas. Third day only water, this is the first day of the shakitpat... I know others will allow themselves watermelon or some other foods, see what's right for you! (Or even a longer fast?) I think the fast makes the Shaktipat experience a little more special for me and helps set my intention for the period in more than one way. I hope those who can squeeze in a fast have a great experience! (And it's nice to know I'm not alone!) This time around I think I'm going to have two days of just carrot juice, then one day only water to begin the shaktipat. Be well, Bradly @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ Some of Chrism's words on the subject: For optimum results Let the twenty first day be the one day or the third day of a fasting spiritual personal retreat for you. If you can safely do this. If you are sensitive to sugar levels (hypoglycemic) then don't do this. Only if you can safely do it. The Shakti will come regardless. - Just some thoughts - blessings to you all - chrism Make sure that if you faste that you can do so without medical danger to yourself, and if you do the three day faste that you commit yourself to much prayer and meditation and a strict focus upon the practice as this can put it into a stronger form. blessings all - chrism Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
