Fasting is nothing new to the world in fact this was a healthy practice employed by the ancient civilizations , but they didn't do it for the same reasons evidently . Our ancient ancestors diets and lifestyles were not the same as today's. Their lifestyle was active but balanced in the same so for the amount of energy that they exuded in their natural life activities their was a natural receptive force by the body that seeks to restore lost energy .To my inner standing their was time when Man lived directly off the sun and its opposite which is water lets not forget the other two elements necessary for optimum health which are air(nitrogen.oxygen) and earth which is analogous to minerals of our diets. Now that we have sped up life to unsafe speeds and fallen out of the natural synchronicity of nature , the cosmos, the universe whatever you chose to call it we have became degenerated as a whole. We can see this by the alarming rates of obesity, high blood pressure, cancer , strokes , heart disease , and neurological disorders that plague are societies in this present day . If we look at the lifestyles and the surrounding environments we notice a simplistic but highly advanced groups of people that lived in abundance and good health. Take into consideration that the statistics provided by modern day science factions are operating on a very narrow scope of existence especially since the Europeans that dominate the medical field are the youngest species on the planet so it would be wise for me to be very discerning when accepting all scientific studies as 100 percent accurate even it was based solely on their biological makeup. The origin of fast means to abstain or go without , throughout the ages since it was introduced fasting has been used for spiritual as well as physical and mental purposes all with the intention of purging, detoxing, taking inventory of ones self, clarity of the mind and freeing the body of digestive duties so that one could replenish the subtle energy fields of the body and also give it the much needed rest .
I personally started off with juice fasting which essentially is not a complete fast but it is a fast from solid foods. As my first fasting experiment to see just how my body would react to it and I must say the results were clear the evidence provided by the fast was very fast within 3 days the dark spots I had on my upper back were receding or dissolving so to say and this was amazing because it further brought insight to how fasting effects the body and mind as one. The Juice fast consisted of organically grown apples, celery, kale, broccoli, cucumbers, carrots, lemons, garlic and apple cider vinegar(Bragg's) and of course the most key ingredient distilled water . This was actually the liver cleansing program I regimented
but for the sake of familiarity I call it the juice fast . The 1st day i experienced mild symptoms of hunger and discomfort , by the 2nd day i was feeling more energetic and light , and by the third day I was fine but
I had a slight headache located in the temporal area . once i started back to solid foods I was supposed to reintroduce fruits first then veggies then grains etc. and this because when your breaking a fast you want to eat foods that easiest to digest and breakdown by the body so of course fruit is the number one option then veggies and so on.
The insight into fasting is a personal journey that ones takes out of necessity, everyone is emotionally physically, mentally, spiritually in contrast to one another due to are upbringing or should I say are conditioning and programming so I am careful to say what works for someone because in order to properly diagnose some you must know the conditions of the mind ,the environment in which they live the type of people they surround themselves with ,the dietary intake , and a myriad of other factors.
In my next installment of the Transcending All Boundaries post I will document my finding i discovered during my 3 day and 7 day water fast eventually i want to go 30 days but of course i will have to plan ahead in order to free up the time and energy required that length of time.
Peace and Harmony to all willing to receive the info as info nothing more nothing less.
