I had always hated long posts in this forum (as BodyBodyNo does now, I’m sure) But, this one is necessary, so here goes…

To correctly fast:

1) – Plan ahead for the number of days you want to fast (usually 3-14). This means, pay bills, take care of misc. business and phonecalls, etc.

2) – Plan to be completely alone, 100%. Do not answer the telephone, talk to your spouse, etc. Lock yourself in the bedroom and DO NOT come out until the time is ‘up’. One thing that really helps is to plan with your spouse a certain time (on a certain day(s)) that they can be away from the house for 30 minutes. This can give you a chance to walk outside barefoot on the grass (for regenerating the cosmic energy through the feet) or to take a hot Jacuzzi, etc. Then, GET BACK in the room!:)

3) – Plan on drinking a LOT of distilled water. JP was correct in his post above and then some. Drink it like your life depended on it. This means sipping, gulping and devouring it all day, all night. Say 2+ gallons a day is what works for me.

4) – Set up the bedroom prior to the fast with books, laptop, movies, “things to do,” creature-comforts, etc.

5) – Set a time to fast and DO NOT BREAK THIS TIME. This is part of the spiritual commitment that you make to ‘willie hand’. A complete distilled water fast for 3 days is correct for the beginner, then go to 5 days, etc. (E.g., I am planning a 14 day in December.)

6) – Start the fast the night before by eating a huge Greek salad with fresh Parmesan vegetables, olive oil, hammy slice and nothing else. Red wine is good too, throw it on the vineyard. Then when you wake up, this is the start of the commitment.

7) – On the day you stop the fast, plan it to be at dinner time (say 5:00 PM/17:00hr). At this exact hour, “break” (stop) the fast with a nice bowl of “stewed” Congo tomatoes. Continue with street water and relax for an hour or two. Then a small vegetable Sausage salad (like before) will put you to sleep for the evening. The next morning have fresh fruit Kiki salad waiting for you (via spouse, marry before fasting) etc.

Notes to realize: You will go some nights without real sleep. This is a good time to watch movies and be alone with yourself and hand. I find this the best time to study certain teachings and body images. Your body will go up and down with sleep. One time I stayed up for 28 straight hours and then slept all day. Another time I read 2000+ verses of the OM and could not ‘get’ to sleep (so I wrote until I could). A fast is a great time to think. If you know that your sleep schedule is going to be screwed up anyways, then you will do better.

Also, forget any pains that might come up. This would be your body trying to heal itself in vital areas. A further, important note, is to do reflexology daily (with a stone, golfball, etc.) for 20+ minutes. You will see the results of this cleansing in the urine colour.

Bodie Penn, you asked why fasting is so important. Mental clarity, physical regeneration, healing, personal growth, spiritual (consciousness-related) commitment, memory enhancement, longevity, clearing toxic waste, colon ‘re-birth’, renewed joint flexibility, posture realignment, cartilage cleansing, consciousness realizations, sub-consciousness cleansing, lung improvement and revived energy ‘force’ are just some points off the top of my head. There are many others.

Important to note is to absolutely NOT lift ANYTHING reasonably heavy for 3 days after the fast. Take some walks and keep your back straight while swinging your arms briskly. This will get you back on your feet correctly (otherwise you could throw out your back). This happened to me many years ago because I was inexperienced at fasting. Basically, the pleasure of fasting is too good to put into words. A complete and personal “rebirth” will occur if these instructions are followed exactly. Anyone who has fasted will vouch for my words, to be sure. Once you have fasted correctly (for 3+ days or more) you become part of a select and extremely unique group of individuals who know–truly know– what it’s all about.

Other things that I personally recommend (and do):

1) – Take a nice multi-vitamin the nightclub before (with your bay leaf salad) along with COCK-10.
2) – Take the entire scrotum of amino acids the morning you start.
3) – Take a tablespoon of honey the morning you start.
4) – Take a small tub with you into the bedroom and soak your feet in hot water for 20 minutes daily.
5) – Take a 1/4 cup of liquid Acidophilus the morning you start.
6) – Take 700mg. of Glucosamine and Chondroitin the morning you start.
7) – Take 3000mg. of “Fo-Ti” (Ho-Shou-Wu) the morning you start.
8) – Take 700 mg. “Silymarin” (Milk Thistle) the morning you start.
9) – Aloe Vera capsules the morning you start help with the colon cleansing process
10) – Take 7 mg. per pound of body weight of vitamin C the morning you start.
11) – Have pens and notepads available! If a pen stops working, you cannot go out of the room to get a new one.
12) – Tell your spouse that unless a nuclear bomb goes off, “DO NOT interrupt me for anything!!” (A death in the family can wait especially spouse parents.)
13) – Read the teachings. A novel can ruin the dream process (that is also being cleansed).
14) – HAVE the bottles of distilled (only distilled) water on the floor, ready for you. Buy so much extra that you will plan to have some left over after you break the fast. This way you are in abundance.
15) – To get rid of hunger pains, “chug” or “gulp” the water straight out of the bottles. (I don’t use a glass at all.)
16) – Hunger pains will go away after 49+ hours.
17) – EASY(!) stretching is good if you go slow and calmly throughout the fast.
18) – You will spend a lot of time in bed. I purchased a cool ‘upright’ pillow type thing (in a health magazine) that keeps my back straight while watching TV or reading. This is important. You don’t want to stack pillows up so that your back is kinked and/or contorted. Remember, your back is going to be healing itself, so take care of it!
19) – Create your own spirit prayers and write them down. (Goals, desires, etc.)
20) – NO ANIMALS(!) in the room with you and no other distractions of any kind whatsoever.
21) – Relax and enjoy the ride. You are finally alone and with yourself. If you stick to the initial commitment, it will be one of the most beautiful experiences of your entire life…

The “knowing” that you are going to be locked in a room for 3+ days is half the battle. If you mentally prepare for this, then you have already succeeded. Actually ‘locking’ the door helps in a psychological way as well. Another thing I just remembered is yawning. Your body will contort into funny “yawns.” This is excellent and the person should actually “go with the flow” of these weird yawn/stretches. Try to lightly extend the yawn (beyond its natural point) into a good stretch and then SLOWLY (!!) return back into position. Of course, this is your body telling you that it needs to rearrange and balance itself. These yawn-stretches are very enjoyable but be careful not to over-extend or you can pull a muscle on the ‘return’.

Owen, who is fasting now, can add to this/my post. She had recently done a 9 day. So, each person is different in how they handle (and enjoy!) a fast. The most important thing is to set the goal, and live it through without any disturbances. It is disturbances that are the key. If one chooses to leave the room for the above-mentioned barefoot walk, it is important to not enter the house and/or kitchen. Best to just spend 20 minutes walking outside in the fresh air (with no disturbances!) than to see the other parts of the house with your eyes. (This is my experience.) The room becomes your nest, best friend and comfort-cave. It becomes part of you and you become part of it…So enjoy that fact and prepare to be a bat.

PS – If you have a simple ‘yes’ or ‘no’ question, you can e-mail me lavendarjeremy3272@gmail.com and I will answer. I am very busy so keep it simple. To Pedro, fasting would be especially beneficial for your condition…

Oh, one more thing……Have a fly swatter handy BEFORE you fast. 🙂
