-Remember when we begin we should set our intention. We should have a clear reason inside as to why we are setting off on this journey. We should know what we are aiming to get out of it.
-Remember that just as with everything in life, we get out of it what we put into it. So if we go through it “sort of casually”, “partially”, then we’ll get “sort of casual, partial” results.
-Remember that the fast builds discipline. It strengthens our will. This is a Spiritual fast, it strengthens our Spirit. We get better at fasting each time as we do better and better each month, as our Spirit grows stronger. And throughout each month we gain more and more discipline and willpower with everything in life.
-We should make a commitment to ourselves to complete a 3 day Spiritual fast. We must truly commit, as there are plenty of reasons to give up, to give in to temptation, plenty of obstacles in our way to keep us from fasting and fall back into the regular automatic routine.
-Remember that it’s a 3 day fast regardless. It begins when the moon enters our sun sign. The moon leaves our sun sign in about 2.5 days, sometimes much less, but we still continue the fast for the full 3 days. The process takes about 2.5-3 days. So we should begin cleansing the body days before the moon enters our sign, with healthy Alkaline food and water, then keep the body as empty as possible for the start of the process.
I try to go without food for a long time on the first day, then towards the middle I have a little fruit, maybe a carrot, then soup for my main meal. I make red lentil or split pea with a sweet potato mixed in, and I’ve also had pumpkin soup. Then I try to be as empty as possible as it approaches 2.5 days (60 hours after the moon enters my sign), and I target my most powerful/intense breathing routine around that time. After it’s been 2.5 days and I’ve done my best breathing routine, then I will start eating a little more, maybe some chickpea or red lentil pasta, with cucumbers, avocado, olives, other vegetables, raw walnuts, and maybe pumpkin seeds. Things like that.
So this time I started fasting on the 16th, for the end of the blessed Lunar year of the Snake and the beginning of the year of the Fire Horse, also because of the Solar Eclipse. It was such a powerful time for me during the last changeover of the Lunar year so I figured I would keep my body as empty and light as possible for this powerfully energetic time. For this first day of the moon in Aries I went over 24 hours with no food, then finally had some good soup.
-Remember a basic idea of why we want to be empty is: we’re getting the body ready to receive… new ideas, insight, energy, etc.
We need to clear out the old to make space for the new.
“We need to clean our body as we would clean our home if Jesus was coming over to visit”, as a wise woman once said.
Because the Christ IS coming to visit inside of us, so we must keep a clean and pure space inside of us for the Christos to return back to whence it came.
If we want to see/feel the Light, then we should eat light.
If we want to see/feel the Light, we must BE the Light. BE the Light of the world, become the Light of the world.
We must be the Holiest version of ourselves, feel and act as if we are the Holiest being in the world. So that if someone comes near us they immediately Know they are safe. So that a stranger can immediately feel they are near something Holy, when they are near our energy field they are surrounded by Divine Light.
-Remember that WE are in control, WE decide how our Holy days go. We’re not passive victims in the process waiting for something to “happen to us”. We are the ones in charge of our energy field. We are the ones choosing our experiences, whether it’s consciously or unconsciously. The reality we experience is created from inside of US.
So make the Conscious decision to have an amazing Holy experience and BE the Light of the world.
