Juice fast

[Psychonaut1984]

Hey has anyone else tried the juice fasting tek? I'm on day 1, I'm thinking day 2 I'm going to go all out and deprive myself of sleep for day 3.
Anyone notice a significant increase in energy or psychic abilities from doing this?

If you are going to deprive yourself of food and sleep, please please do not get in a car and drive the next day. Or operate heavy machinery, for that matter.

Just don't push yourself too far, it's beyond the point.

Yea I am staying home all 3 days.

I've never tried it. I'm diabetic, and I shudder to think what it would do to my blood glucose. *shudder*

However, there's a blogger I follow who did a thirty day juice feast (I think he did thirty days, he might have stopped sooner, though). Note: He didn't do a juice FAST, but a juice FEAST, whatever the difference is supposed to be (he explained it, but I wasn't all that interested, so I don't remember). I can give you a link if you want to read that blog.

I have deprived myself of sleep on many occasions, but only when I was young. You get to a point where you suddenly realise that you absolutely cannot pull an all nighter any more, at least, not if you hope to have any kind of mental function at all. ;)

When I was younger and would go without sleep, though, I never noticed any kind of spiritual enhancement. I would sometimes get a bit more paranoid and jump at shadows, so maybe I was sensing something, or maybe I was just more paranoid, I don't know. I can say that when I'm very tired or sleep-deprived my thoughts run rampant, and the monkey mind takes over. I don't find excessive tiredness conducive to spiritual anything, really, but maybe that's just me.

I did such a fast, but just with water for 5 days. All the texts about fasting state that the period must be an odd number.

Stay at home. Have short walks. Meditate, write, do some yoga and have plenty of sleep.

You should ♥♥♥♥ a lot more, and your tongue could go white. It's waste being throwing out.

If you experiment some sort of burning in your intestines, it's your lining, being expelled. Don't worry, and try to pass the bad moment.

Good luck!

[CFTraveler]

:shock:
Oh, it's only your intestines.
Don't worry about it.
----And that's why I'll probably never do any kind of fast for more than one day.

But seriously, Andoni, why does your tongue turn white?

Its funny I am still very young but I feel the same way. I deprive myself of sleep every once in a while if my sleep schedule is off, but the next day I can barely manage to function. I used to do it ALL the time though in high school, I used to stay up for 2 days at a time and think nothing of it. Especially in the spring and early summer, when I get my seasonal bout of insomnia it never bothered me. Now I try to do that and I am lucky on the first day of no sleep if I can chew bubble gum and walk at the same time.

I didn't do the sleep deprivation last night. I was up late until 5am trying to project, then I slept really heavy. I noticed while I was opening my chakras, I felt a ball of pressure in my lower back. I woke up around 1 or 2pm, tried to project again. My mind kept wandering but I did get into a heavy trance.

As far as the intestinal thing, I actually drank some epsom salts the night before I started the fast and flushed my intenstines out real good. I haven't had the urge to go since the first day of the fast. I noticed the white tongue but I used my tongue scraper, some toothpaste and mouthwash to take care of that.

There's always the Edgar Cayce 3 day Apple fast.

There was a grave inaccuracy in the above article, and it wasn't about fasting or the apple fast, it was the statement that 'if you take vitamins your body gets lazy and then stops making them itself'- that is true only about some substances (that the body makes them) and the lazy thing is only true about hormones and some other substances (like peptides)- if you supplement hormones the body will stop making them or make less, because the receptors are registering enough.
But the body does not make some vitamins, most notably Vitamin C, and it doesn't matter whether you supplement them or not- your body simply doesn't make them at all, which is why we're supposed to eat fruits and vegetables, because we need some vitamins the body just doesn't make.
I thought I'd clear that up right away.

Ugh, I tried so hard last night. I could not for the life of me get out of body. I think I came very close, a couple of times I thought I was partially seperated but then I tensed. After awhile of not getting anywhere, I gave up and went to sleep. I tried again today extending the juice fast until 3, but still no dice. I feel like its getting progressively harder to project sometimes.
In conclusion I think the fast works, it was much easier to get into a trance.

This does mostly sound like an exercise in inducing mental strain - willpower, willpower, force, urgh. How is that conducive to projecting? Mental strain and tension have been the biggest obstacle for me in inducing experiences, so if you have to "try hard" my personal opinion would be that it might be counterproductive.

I see, very true. It is a such a delicate balance. I do notice when I take breaks sometimes from all this I tend to project during my "time off."

[Korpo]

See, I don't want to discourage you. Just don't try so hard that you block yourself. :)

I find that when I let go and release my attachment to the outcome (I must project! I must remote view! I must have a lucid dream! Arrgh!), the thing I wanted to develop comes on its own.

It's a bit like planting a garden. You put the seeds into fertile soil and you provide nourishment and then you just wait. You can't make them grow any quicker... ;)

Its a little bit ironic, while I was getting ready to project this morning, I curled up under a blanket trying to warm myself. At some point I accidentally drifted off. This lead to me having a lucid dream, and 2 very short lived consecutive projections.

Curiously our bodies eliminate a lot of waste through the mouth. A white coat can mean different things: your cells are moving out wasteful matter; your mouth's bacteria's population has grown and you have an infection; you have eaten something contaminated.

In any case, you have to clean up your teeth and tongue throughly, because your mouth's pH will change, and that could damage your teeth.

About how much time you have to fast, experts in the matter have stated that after the 3rd day your body starts to truly clean itself.

Anyway, to have a day for cleaning is great. I try to use Sundays for that. But utilizing a longer holiday period for a longer fasting is something to take in count.

But seriously, Andoni, why does your tongue turn white?
The tounge may turn white as a result of dehydraton.
