The Fasting Path

“Everyone has a doctor in him or her; we just have to help it in its work. The natural healing force within each one of us is the greatest force in getting well. Our food should be our medicine. Our medicine should be our food. But to eat when you are sick, is to feed your sickness.”–Hippocrates, M.D.

The greatest healing power we have lies within.  It’s time to let go of the notion that there is anything outside of us that has the ability to heal. We are truly living in an extraordinary time. Throughout the world, individuals are waking up and as a result, attracting the experiences that can lead them back to their true essence.  It may be why you are reading this now.  At some level, you know exactly what you need to heal and move toward the light (become enlightened).  The universe continually sends us people, places and things into our experience and nudges us to listen. You are reading this today because fasting is one way to bring you to this truth.  By creating a clearing in which you are able to walk away from the ordinary world and focus on the deeper and more important messages of your soul, you begin to operate in harmony with your purpose instead of against it. Dis-ease / dis-harmony in our lives as a result of not being in our “flow.” The closer we move toward our personal frequency, the more life energy (light) flows through us and our body, mind and spirit is renewed. 

Fasting has always been viewed as an essential act for providing an opening for the soul to emerge with the knowledge of why we are here.  But, given the hectic nature of our modern lives, it’s no wonder that the connection between our purpose for being and fasting have been forgotten.  When you uncover and realign with purpose for being, true healing ensues.  Our bodies have a natural healing intelligence, but unfortunately because of our current lifestyles, most of us have lost touch with it. Truth is, the Western way of life never allows the body to cleanse itself. Historically, man lived on a sparse diet, free from pesticides, food additives, drugs and toxins. In addition, the world of yesterday was considerably more quiet and simple, allowing individuals the time and space to listen to their inner wisdom.

Today, have more noise, obligations and consume more toxic substances than all other generations before us combined. Through the air, water and food, we are saturated with thousands of toxins and chemicals. During fasting, when the distraction of food (noise) and stress is removed from our experience, these toxins are released into the bloodstream, allowing our bodies to let go of them.  The challenging experience in the beginning stages of a fast is a lifetime of built-up toxins dramatically detoxifying in a short period of time. As the days or week goes on, our bodies return to “ground zero.” And with our antennas clear, the healing energy of life can now flow unimpeded and the healing process begins. 

So, if you are looking for a way to restore your health, revitalize your soul and/or deepen your spiritual connection, The Fasting Path is your road to freedom.
