Guest guest Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 Shaktipat Fasting This can help you focus, set your intention clearly and be helpful for your 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... 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! Be well, bradly I would suggest that the three day faste start two days before the first Shaktipat day so that the third faste day is on the first day of the Shaktipat. - blessings – chrism ***************** First rule of fasting is to be medically able to do one. No low blood sugar events, no hypoglycemic reactions. If this is your first faste then supplement your fluid intake with lemonade that is made from fresh real lemons and molasses if you can get it or another natural unprocessed sugar. Honey may be used. If you have trouble with the lemonade then hot vegetable broth can replace that. Please be as prayerful and as spiritually motivated as you possibly can be as much of the time as you can be. Recite prayers every hour or chant or listen to spiritual music. Recite the Shakti prayer as much as you can. Meditate and allow the sharpening of the faste to extend into your mind. For first time fastes a level of detoxification will become the most significant response. Some clarity of mind that hasnt been available can be noticed. If you become overwhelmed with the desire for food or become dizzy or develop a really bad temper - break the faste. Eat someting and be OK as it is a first time thing and perhaps can be entered into as a 24 hour faste at first. Sometimes a faste is not indicated for the above reasons and reasons of general health so be sure and be healthy before embarking on one. For the Shaktipat the faste is a time of purification and the releasing of the previous expressions of desires and sharpening of intention and surrender. Being spiritually focused as much of the time as possible and from there being focused on receiving the Shaktipat is the most important aspect of the mind and body and emotions during the faste. Begin to increase these qualities now so that when you reach the time of the faste one isnt scrambling to find a pattern of spiritual response that is comfortable. Now is the time to develop this. Stay well hydrated but do not supplement water for food. Be gentle and keep track of your body and its sensations and if a problem develops break the faste as that problem can become a distraction. Sharpening focus is the goal. Focus on God and Goddess. Focus on Kundalini. Focus on the tenets of the safeties and the reception of the gift. Allowing for surrender to become a constant companion. Once again be careful and be attentive to what is occurring. - blessings all. – chrism @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ 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...

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 Fruits? Yes. Milk? Milk is for baby cows, if it is cow milk you speak of. Human milk may be used. Salt may be used in moderation. - blessings! and love. - chrism , " Raghvendra " <rpokh2000 wrote: > > Can we have fruits and milk? > Is the salt allowed in fast?
