It stands to be quite an experience and we are both building up to it.
It is now Dec 17th. We are in California and have both had some issues to deal with while being here, and the stress from moving all the time, money concerns (its VERY EXPENSIVE HERE) and the ups and downs of life on the road take their toll on energy resources, kidney and adrenals.
I have been working with an acupuncturist on my Kidney Yin, and Amoda has been working on balancing her Yang every which is depleted.
The reason Im saying this is because taking issues of imbalance and weakness into water fasting, although its considered a healing modality, can be contra indicated. The body needs its power, its immune strength, to deal with the change of fuelling, and depleted resources can cause more depletion. So we are building up reserves while we are here so we can make the best of things.
Of course this is only my personal intuitive opinion.
But our acupuncturist also feels this way.
So it's good to enter the water fast from as strong a place as possible. This is not always possible, as most people water fast to heal chronic issues. So many of these issues are going to relate to the immune system and imbalance of organ function, hormone dysfunction and major toxicity that just facing it all is the only way.
I will be very keen to find out how other people get on and what challenges they face. Amoda and I have done many very deep detoxification processes in the past and feel we know the terrain. It can be arduous. Emotions come up for healing. Our beliefs are challenged. Fear rises, anger rises. All these things have to be met consciously and let go of for healing to happen. But many people want it simply to be a mechanical physical experience and get frightened and angry when their stuff comes up.
We do 21 days with no food. It sounds like a lot, but many people do longer, sometimes even 40 days. It's sure going to be a ride.
And I want to take you along with me. So I'm going to blog and make some videos on the way.
Stay tuned and I will share with you some intimate moments and reflections on the process. I am particularly interested in the spiritual dimension. When you take away the means of survival and one of the ultimate distractions and emotional addictions, there is a lot of emptiness and a great opportunity to stare into the abyss of nothingness. I believe you can get closer to God through water fasting. I will let you know!!
Meanwhile if you are interested this book is an excellent read about all aspects of water fasting.
