8 Day Water Fast- My Experience

Introduction-

I went on this fast not for any physical health reasons nor was it to lose any weight.

The purpose of my fast was to be able to get clear mentally. To reset my mind out of some of its toxic ways and to de clutter.

It was also my search and quest to return to source in a deeper and much more profound way.

 

Day 1-3

was very easy for me.

I just sipped on water. My stomach did growl but it wasn’t anything uncomfortable.

I also stayed in prayer during those days so I am not sure if that is what made the process easy.

“Lord, I deny my flesh to be closer to you, you are my food, you are my water, you are my source and provide more than what flesh can offer.”

The prayer was something like that.

Day 4

was great until the night time hit.

I found myself a bit more emotional.

I started crying a lot and not stopping it allowing it all to be released.

Day 5

I felt very sick. Almost as a fever happening.

My ears began to hurt and my body was overheating.

In my research I found that during this time, my cells are eating away any dead cells, mucus, inflammation, which is great but does not feel the best.

Day 6

I woke up thankful.

Not feeling sick but my energy was not high. By now I have lost 20 lbs so I feel going any further than 8 days would not be a great idea.

Day 7

was wonderful.

Through out the entire time I found my inner peace growing.

My words speaking much more softly.

I was able to just stay calm.

Day 8

I was excited for this day to come. I had a carrot juice and celery juice that gave me life.

Conclusion

In the end you find gratitude in the little things.

Knowing that all things are a gift. That all things are just a bonus. Breath is the ultimate source of all. It is what keeps you going. Anything on top of that is such gifts. Gifts meant to be open and used for the greater good of humanity.

Through out it I kept my prayers. I kept my time with God. That was the most important part of it all.

At the end a sense of gratitude came back into me. Gratitude for everything around me.
