The practice of fasting to rejuvenate

Fasting is not only the withdrawal of food, but it is a powerful method to strengthen the will and mind. It is a good way to start on the physical plane, to get true alignment and reintegration of our energy and spirit, bringing to our body an emotional, mental and physical turmoil that is constantly exposed, it is an art to improve and repair the body in every way.

Fasting:

  • It increases our personal power.
  • It cleans every organ and system.
  • It soothes the mind and feeds us in every way.

How to practice fasting for rejuvenation?

You should select two or three days where you just eat a fruit: papaya, pineapple or grapes. Drink pure water and nothing else, and start the day by taking two tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil. This mono-diet, (because it only includes one food) serves to mobilize toxins, bad fats, chemicals and other wastes that are stuck in the body. Afte two or three days, eat only vegetables, whole grains and fruits, and two liters of water a day for 21 days.

During this fast, try to perform an activity like yoga, where you can do stretching to mobilize your muscles and internal organs. Practice breathing exercises guided by a professional that teaches you how to oxygenate your body in the right way.

During these days, watch yourself very closely, but watch you without trial; don’t judge yourself or have thoughts of blame or guilt about you. Try to speak in a loving way, ask yourself every day what do you want, or if you are happy, and what things you can do to change your life to be happier.

Read things that will help you cultivate your emotional world, and give peace and comfort to your feelings.

Once you pass the 21 days, you can reinstate food slowly, but try to keep the attitude and exercise every day.

Special recommendations

  • Eat seasonal fruits, wash fruits and vegetables with a brush and choose those that are organic to prevent contaminated that have chemicals or pesticides.
  • If you made juices, drink immediately.
  • Do not combine fruits with vegetables. Eat fruits on an empty stomach and wait 30 minutes to digest.
  • If you are using organic vegetables, better peel them.
  • Avoid, after diet or fasting, all processed and refined sugars and flours, soda and other, as well as fried meats and junk food, which only fill the body with toxins getting it older and ill.

Precautions

Don’t do fasting in an exaggerated way, it can also be a way to avoid or escape from real life. Fasting is only a tool to heal and rejuvenate, not to comply with societal stereotypes of beauty or to maintain the body.

In some Eastern cultures, fasting, along with breathing, is a way to expand consciousness and to get to know ourselves.

Remember that you should eat in a proper way. The right choice of our food, variety and equitable distribution are essential for staying healthy and cheerful throughout our lives.

    Fasting is a good way to improve our daily diet, maybe I will try to follow the 21 days fasting but maybe that is to tough for me, and actually I?m not sure if eating the same things for a long period of time is the good for our health, I?m going to do some research and then try it.

    The mind and body fast, what a wonderful idea! I read this book once called “perfect health” by deepak chopra, and he claims that due to the fact that the body regenerates completley (every tissue, every cell) within a matter of seven years, if we consciously eat and control our minds, our bodies will cleanse themselves completely of all disease.
