Fasting to me is just another exercise to strengthen the mind, like standing outside in below-freezing weather with no coat on.
Yes, I fast sporadically, maybe once every couple months. 2 or 3 days at a time is what I usually do, but at times it's not too easy. |

. . but i write to bring out wahts inside of me so there no longer inside of me.... . oh and is this just a nother form of starvation??.....cause i think im missing something about this whole "fasting" thing |

when I say "bring out" I mean it clears the mind so that issues u deal with are brought to the surface food has an intoxicating effect, almost like alcohol...So, depriving yoiurself of food heightens your spiritual and mental awareness... It's a good way to clear your mind so that yoiu can focus on what you're struggling with, or need to deal with. 1 |

. . ok food is the fuel for the body...so your saying that (for lack of a better term) Depriving you body of its fuel is a way to clear the mind??? i figure it would clear the bouls...lol... |

it's a spiritual concept...weakening the body strengthens the spirit...the seat of the SOUL IS THE MIND... do what u want...but fasting is quite effective in dealing with certain issues... Plus, it's a good way to cleanse your body naturally as well. |
maybe ill try it.....and does this work every time?.......anyway so your saying that if i fast there might be a chance taht i can write better being that my mind is clear of all things other than what i am concentrating on??

possibly...But...I fast to deal with LIFE issues, not writer's block. |
Yeah, the results depend on what your reason for fasting is, as well as your committment.

like now...
Im irritated and angry as hell...an issue Im currently dealin with...FASTING just magnifys that and I can really deal with that issue |
I would hate fasting. I've already gone almost 2 days without food right now and I'm hungry as fuck. I'm going to have a cheese sandwich. :)

after a while, u get used to it and actually lose ur appetite...
Careful though, Coming off a fast cud be dangerous if ur gorge on food...stomach feels like CRAP 1 |
some people fast and only eat fruits and vegetables some people fast duringthe day and only eat when it is dark outside whether that be in the night or early morning, I believe Muslims do it that way during their time of fasting but yeah, it's a good thing to do, I'd consider doing it, but my hands start to shake and stuff wen I don't eat, I have to be realy pre-occupied to forget about eating, which would defeat the purpose of clearing my mind...I might do it after New Year's, start off my year trying to be more spiritual, read my Bible and such if I can find it =/ |
^^NOW I know why people don't respond to your posts...It's cuz u come in and RESTATE what's been said BEFORE u state what u really have to say
see...u cud have omitted the 1st HALF of ur reply and just left the 2nd half 1 |
I am a muslim so I can tell you a lot. also the time where it is mandatory to fast(ramadan) sex and I think even music is prohibited. to tell you the truh I love it. Fasting strengthens the spirit and really doesn't bother your body because if your fasting sunrise to sunset lik we do then you just eat like cazy after sunset, but just imagine 12 hours of no eating then coming back at last to eat, that makes eating food SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good. Ghandi, the last guy in my sig used fasting to put political pressure but he's not a muslim, he's a Hindu. Hindus do it as well.
