How fasting enhances supernatural powers

[Midnite]

Hi,


I have a very serious question about how fasting increases or enhances a person's psychic or supernatural powers.

I'm talking no food/ no water for a fixed period of time.

I first started noticing in increase in psychic occurences whilst performing a Ramadan fast. Whereby for 30 days, you are not allowed to eat/drink during the hours of daylight. During this particular fast, I was barely having 1 meal a day.
By the final week, I was exhausted, my mind was on a different planet, and doing simple day-to-day tasks were just hard. I spent a lot of my time in meditation.

Some time later I found incredible references to fasting in old-school Occult books. Whereby stating something along the lines that the practitioner should keep a regular routine of meditation and pranayama as well as fasting to increase powers.
It also went on to state how the practitioner should fast for about 9 -12 days before invoking Angels?

Finally, there also exist some really hardcore meditation fasts for up to 40 something days, whereby no eating and no drinking for the full time. Only thing acceptable is meditation to the degree of hibernation. Many times these are performed in sacred rivers, on mountains and even graveyards. Upon completion of such meditations, the person has access to an incredible wealth of powers, often resulting in the communication and command over spirits.

The only explanation I can think of; is when you're at the point of exhaustion, and your body is literally eating itself due to malnourishment, your mind wafts into higher planes. It's like your body is in sleep-mode, but instead of just at night, all day long. You never truly wake up in the morning. You can then access a much more deeper experience.

Anybody have personal experiences to share, before I literally stop eating and starve myself? lol

I think its mostly to do with the foods we eat, they cause interference with power energy flow. steve and erin mentioned noticing a boost in their psychic abilities when they went vegan. Also i do say fasting makes you rely on non-food type energies ...prana

Are you suggesting that when our bodies are malnourished, we literally start ingesting prana in the absence of food?

Sounds like some kind of ultimate food source.

The explanation would be that fasting cleanses your body. You're not putting toxins in, so your body has a chance to work on the backlog of toxins. It's an energetic as well as physcial thing, because the energy of food and the physical aspect are interlinked. So it seems almost expected that your psychic abilities would improve.

They improve, too, on cleansing diets like the raw food diet.

I guess I would believe this to be the fact if you undertook a raw food or juice feasting program like Steve. In the first undertaking, the raw food diet would be directly giving your body access to raw energy, which would increase your energy supplies. In the second undertaking, I do believe such a program would detox, however there is also an unintended side-effect. The amount of consistent sugar in your body with such high levels of fruit juice, has lead participants in need of a sugar-fix once they stop the diet. They have said to experience a lot of "downs".

I would however like to focus on the psychic element that No Food/Water fasting seems to create.
I am not talking about a diet. I don't want to go on a diet.. lol. I am talking about hardcore fasting/meditation sessions that increase your psychic powers out of this world.

Btw, in no food/water fasts, it was found that the liver seems to be overworked from the lack of adequate water supply, as well as the fact that your blood isn't as pure; due to low oxygenation through lack of physical exercise. No Food/Water takes a very heavy toll on the body...

[Andrew Gubb]

Dunno about the downs you talk about. I personally haven't experienced them. But anyway, for me the raw diet is a permanent fixture. The improvement in intuition is one of the many benefits.

More so referring to the juice feasting diet. Fruits and vegtables have a high amount of natural sugars such as fructose and sucrose. In a way, the juices give you a consistent sugar-related high. When you go back to a normal diet, you don't feel as good anymore, and source sugar substitutes in order to feel good again.

No, I don't have personal experience with this, but I am aware of the breatharian community, and I wouldn't recommend starving yourself and especially not drinking any liquids either. Unless of course you want to die. Breatharians die all the time, and most of them do eat and drink, but say they don't have to, which to me says a lot about their beliefs.

If you want to try this, go ahead, but proceed with caution because you don't want to end up dead.

Siddhartha said to eat as much as you need to, but don't overindulge. He fasted for six years before he was enlightened, and became enlightened shortly after he decided to quit.

I figure you can eat, but it's wise to eat only things that fill you with Light (Mostly fresh fruits and veggies).

From a common sense standpoint I would definitely not do the "no water" thing. You could seriously damage your body.

Ok devised a somewhat 'halfway there' routine that I have been following for the past week. Reason being is that I would incidentally like to test this theory, without the whole dying thing happening...

I am drinking fluids, taking multi-vitamins, and only eating one solid meal a day (at night). The only repercussions that I noticed early on, was that my metabolism was slowing down. My body was literally shutting down during the day and coming back to life at night.
I therefore increased cardio exercises, and practising pranayamic rhythmic breathing (which apparently increases circulation; my heart beat increases and I break out in a sweat).

Result:
Initially my energy was very low. I am however feeling more intuitive and more 'powerful', than I ever felt for the whole of last year. It’s as if I can really feel the differentiation between my body and soul. I have also taken a sudden new-found liking and increased my Kundalini practices.

Going vegetarian -or even Vegan -can increase sensitivity to intuitional levels too. The raw food diet is great. I eat about 60% of my total food intake regularly as raw food. (can't quite manage the whole lot, can't handle raw fish! Raw eggs! yuck)
The trouble with only one meal a day is you are going to get blood-sugar swings which may not be helpful. (For instance if you eat an evening meal, the blood sugar will be higher around 4-5 hours later -giving you energy at night. Then in the morning and afternoon you will feel like sh** because your blood sugar won't be topped up again and will be at an all-time low. Just physics I'm afraid. Physical laws we all live with, which actually do have their own grace and beauty....)

Another weird consciousness-changing thing is a sleep-fast every now and again. That is definitely worth a try. Interesting things occur.
But don't do this if you have health issues or high blood pressure.
Oh and may not be wise if you are also doing a food-fast at the same time.
