Fasting is very beneficial to the well being of the entire body mentally, emotionally, physically, and energetically. When one fast properly the dead and not so healthy cells and toxins in the body are cast off – flushed out of the body. In the olden days (Biblical times) people went through fasts naturally when there were droughts and bad crops. We have lost touch with that natural cycle because we can have any kind of food any time of the year or day, and on top of that most Americans (on a daily basis) eat more than they need to.
As you fast do not be surprised if emotional issues come to the surface. As you build physical toxins within the body you do the same in your emotional and mental bodies. Most of us eat to suppress or ‘negative’ emotions. As the body is cleansed these emotions we have tried to avoid will come to the surface for use to cleanse also. As you go through the fast all the negativity in your mental, physical, emotional, and energetic bodies may be magnified. Once you make it through the fast, though you will feel uncluttered (literally) mentally, physically, emotionally, energetically.
You should go slowly into a fast and VERY slow coming back out of the fast. If you have not eaten for 3 days and you go eat a hamburger you are going to do more damage than not fasting at all. There are many good books on fast. If you are going to do a fast I suggest you get a few books and study all the facts first.
The following are some fasts that get good results.
