I just so happened to start this fast right as a video about 4 celestial bodies aligning popped up. During this fast, I’ll be strategically using salt water, short full-body HIT sessions, and another protocol I’ll leave unnamed. The goal is to lose some fat, clear out stubborn inflammation, and see what happens. The longest fast I’ve ever completed before this was 90 hours, and I haven’t done another one since that attempt more than 18months ago. That relatively short fast, combined with the other protocols I was experimenting with at the time, seemed to temporarily change the way I perceived things. I felt more sensitive to the energies around me. For example, I found myself reacting consistently to changes in the Schumann resonance, and I also became drawn to certain YouTube readers who claimed to interpret people’s situations through cards and similar methods. What unsettled me was how accurate some of those readings empirically were. They would describe situations that seemed oddly specific to my life despite having no direct knowledge of me. Looking back, maybe it wasn’t that they were somehow connecting to me personally. Maybe I was connecting to a collective field out there. Whatever the explanation, at the time it genuinely felt as if I were being watched. That’s what both excites and scares me now. This time, I’m not aiming for 90 hours. I’m aiming for 200. If a 90-hour fast was enough to permanently reduce the amount of food I ate for the next six months and leave a lasting impression on my energetic perception for over a year, then what might 200 hours do?? I don’t know. On top of that, I’ll be exclusively drinking reverse osmosis water from my local supermarket this time, so hopefully those birth control chemicals and other random BS aren’t in my water unlike my last attempt. Part of the reason I’m posting this is accountability. Putting it into words makes it harder to quit when things get uncomfortable. But if I make it through, I’ll also share some of the stranger observations and personal discoveries I’ve made along the way.
