Many reasons but mainly to deal with some chronic digestive issues, to get to know myself better, and for spiritual exploration What was your biggest apprehension going into the fast? Having the process be too hard on myself Did you ever consider ending the fast during the process? If so, why? Why did you continue/stop? Yes, but only for brief passing moments that were do to food cravings and fears. These all passed like the clouds in the sky Did you accomplish what you set out to do with your fast? I did not set goals for myself as to be fully open to the experience. No doubt, more than I expected was accomplished Would you recommend that people have their fasts supervised? Why, or why not? Definitely for the first time, unless one is remarkably healthy and strong of mind Why did you choose to fast at the Tanglewood Wellness Center? The atmosphere seemed very friendly and comfortable What was your experience like at Tanglewood? Peaceful, full of quiet time, meditation and plenty of sunshine What did you experience during the fast? After an initial feverish period of about 3 days, the main physical experience was that of low energy, sometimes extreme fatigue. On the emotional levels and beyond there was a constant unfolding of discovery How did you spend your time? Resting, reading, meditation, a little bit of yoga and sunbathing Just purified water? Were you hungry? Yes, I was hungry for the first 9 days Did you get weak? Yes, at times very What was the best part of the process for you? Having the time for insight into my own behavior and how I spend my time What was the most difficult part of the process for you? The first week or so, when cravings were strongest Was it ever painful? Sometimes, but not usually What are you experiencing now after the fast? Relaxed, glad to be alive and feeling that I have a new sense of self knowledge that is quite subtle Did you experience any changes due to fasting? Of course. In so many ways I am a new person What kind of diet are you following after your fast? Raw, juicy fruits Is eating difficult for you now that you’ve complete the fast? No Would you fast again? Yes, definitely What advice would you give to other fasters? Do not underestimate the imortance of restraining your mind during a fast. It is not about just resting the body. It is about just being there on all levels and not planning about what you are going to do afterwards Return to fasting testimonials page. |
