There are a few things that we need to survive.\u00a0 Here they are in order of importance:<\/span><\/p>\n

Food \u2013 Water \u2013 Good Clean Air<\/span><\/h2>\n

Although food is listed as one of the things we need to survive we often overlook the type of food or how much we\u2019re eating.\u00a0 We either take in too much, too little or what we\u2019re eating doesn\u2019t have the minerals and nutrients that the body really needs to generate real energy<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0 Fasting is one of the most powerful ways to cleanse and revitalize the body, but it is also one of the most challenging to complete.\u00a0 Here are some fasting tips that can help make fasting easier for you:<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Timing!<\/h2>\n

It is ideal, but not mandatory, to start any long fast on or at the beginning of the new moon phase<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Why on the new moon?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The parasites within the system are least active during that time, so you\u2019ll have fewer cravings for foods like processed sugar, fast food etc.<\/span><\/p>\n

How we define long varies by each individual, some might think five days is long, while others may think a day is long.\u00a0 It is suggested that you fast at least once a week, but if that is challenging than once every two weeks or once a month.\u00a0 It\u2019s important to give the body at least one day so that it can reset the glycogen levels and finish breaking down food from previous days.<\/span><\/p>\n

When you\u2019re just getting started with fasting and have never deliberately gone a full day without eating food, then you want to start off slow.\u00a0\u00a0Start by not eating until 12 pm one day, then the next time you fast go until 3 pm, and once you\u2019re able to successfully do that give a full day a try!\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Try to do a fast at a time where you don\u2019t have a lot of physically demanding things coming up.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fasting is a time of regeneration.\u00a0 <\/strong>Your body is essentially focusing all of its energy on digestion and removing the toxins within.\u00a0 The less physical and emotional stress you put on the body, the better your fast.\u00a0 You want to take baby steps to build your ability.\u00a0\u00a0With some patience and practice, you\u2019ll be going full on Breatharian in no time!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

2. Eat!<\/h2>\n

Fuel your other channels with premium foods.<\/span><\/p>\n

Your other channels are your eyes, ears, and nose.<\/span><\/p>\n

For your eyes, watch positive and encouraging TV or videos.\u00a0 For your ears, listen to healing frequencies<\/a><\/strong> and uplifting music.\u00a0 For your nose, fill your space with healing aromatherapy, or if you can go outside around some trees and just breathe in deeply.<\/span><\/p>\n

You may not be eating \u201cfood\u201d in the classic sense of the word but you are still in-taking things through your various channels, so make sure they are quality things that are supporting you in your task.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Drink!<\/h2>\n

Whenever you feel a hunger pain remember to drink fluids.<\/span><\/p>\n

Aside from water, drink teas, vitamin enriched drinks, and natural juices.\u00a0\u00a0For example, organic pressed apple juice is excellent for increasing bowel movements.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

By drinking plenty of water you may feel less physically hungry because most hunger pains that we feel are actually our body telling us we are dehydrated.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

Many other people struggle with what can be called \u201cboredom cravings\u201d where you may not be hungry but you want to taste and chew on something.\u00a0 These \u201cboredom cravings\u201d are a lot easier to deal with than hunger pains.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Be Merry!<\/h2>\n

Take it easy, stay positive, and be compassionate to yourself.<\/span><\/p>\n

Your body will be going through a lot physically, mentally and emotionally during this time.<\/span><\/p>\n

Remember to show yourself a little bit of extra love and attention.<\/span><\/p>\n

Have fun with it, let your Secret Energy family know you\u2019re fasting and that you could use some emotional support.<\/span><\/p>\n

We are here with you to support and cheer you on along the way!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Normal things that happen during a fast\u00a0<\/strong>(if you feel these it\u2019s OK!):<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Headaches<\/span>
\nTiredness<\/span>
\nMoodiness<\/span>
\nPhysically weak<\/span>
\nIncreased senses<\/span>
\nSensitivity to extreme stimuli<\/span><\/p>\n

Some benefits of intermittent fasting:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Weight loss<\/span>
\nGeneral <\/span>cleaning of the vessel<\/span>
\nCancer prevention<\/span>
\nIncreased longevity<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Some Inspiration:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

There was a man back in 1903 named Gilman Lowe that managed to lift over 1,000 lbs while fasting on one meal a day.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ripley\u2019s wrote about him in a news clip.<\/span><\/p>\n
