    I made it through


    I just got done doing my first ritual fast. I was surprised how my body transitioned from hunger to normalcy within a few hours. I ate organic fruit and PB so I wouldn't pass out, but other than that, it was just distilled water since dusk yesterday. Kinda like my own personal Yom Kippur. I just had the need to cleanse out my body from all of the ****ty food and alcohol that I have been consuming lately.

    I will probably do this a couple of times a year when I feel as though I need an emotional and physical catharsis.

    I would like to think so, but if I lived a more disciplined lifestyle, then I would not have to do this. Still, I do feel much better now than I did yesterday.

    A little curious about your fast, did you notice any sort of spiritual connectedness or awakening? I ask because I think that is one reason fasting is considered healthy (emotionally/overall) you know, you know

    good job!

    I had a slight spiritual connection, but I also made a point to meditate throughout the fast. It really helped me to ignore the hunger pangs.

    I fasted for 40 days on water. Prayed, studied the Word and had an encounter with the Holy Spirit that transformed my life.
