\ud83d\udde3 An Inspiration to Fast \ud83d\udde3<\/h2>\n

Last weekend I fasted for 24 hours twice. That wasn\u2019t planned. I was planning to skip breakfast and start intermittent fasting. However, there was an intuition. An intuition to skip lunch and only eat dinner. So I listened to it. The next day it happened again. As a result, I ate two dinners last weekend. For me personally, this was confusing. It activated something in my system. Normally I always want to eat. A month ago I said \u201cHello.. I\u2019m really not fasting.. I just want to eat!\u201d. And now.. Now I\u2019m fasting for 24 hours twice in one weekend. The need to eat suddenly disappeared that weekend.<\/p>\n

\ud83e\udd2f A mental party is created \ud83e\udd2f<\/h3>\n

And that's strange. That felt confusing and it still does when I write this. All kinds of mechanisms went into action at the same time. I need food, don't I? I'll lose weight and my muscles will become less wide. What if my work suffers? If I don't eat, I'll die, right? What if it's an entity that wants to starve me? A mental party, as you can read and perhaps hear the same voices in your head. Confusing too, because my body felt fine. I felt lighter and I experienced more energy. The interesting thing was that my energy decreased when I had eaten in the evening. I even felt a little nauseous. While I ate very consciously, mindfully and vegan. What a lot of information. What's going on here, I asked myself.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\ude4f\ud83c\udffb Trust the process \ud83d\ude4f\ud83c\udffb\"24<\/h2>\n

Another inspiration told me that I may trust. Trust that this will give you new insights. Trust that it will give you answers. I am invited to trust this process, while all kinds of programming and mechanisms are going on. It wants to tell me something, but what? I also sincerely believe that you can live from the light. There are several stories of people who actually do this. Is that my goal? No, I don't think so. It is not my goal to stop eating altogether. Who knows, I may think differently about that in a few years and eating will indeed no longer be necessary, but now that is not my goal. What does it tell me then?<\/p>\n

\ud83e\udd74 Detox and further investigation \ud83e\uddd0<\/h2>\n

What does it tell me then? I asked myself and my guides that question. Why does it present itself? During a walk last Tuesday, the word \u201cdetox\u201d came up. I thought that was a bit too easy an answer, because it is logical that you detox when you do not eat. But what is it then? I see that I am becoming more aware of what I eat, why I eat and what I feel about it. That is already very good information. Last Monday and Tuesday I also had two meals a day. In the afternoon and in the evening. This is also called intermittent fasting. You eat an evening meal in the evening and then you do not eat again until lunch the next day. Here too, it applies that I feel better in my energy. I also feel like I give away less energy when I eat less. But do I really have an answer yet? No, I do not. I can admit here that I do not have the answer yet. That I simply do not know yet. The only thing that comes up is feeling, feeling, experiencing and experiencing. And so I can investigate it further. May I just experience it and may I trust.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\ude0d So many insights \ud83d\ude0d<\/h3>\n

And yesterday something was tapped. This caused me to go into the process of feeling rejected. And what happens? I start eating more. I start snacking in between. Suddenly the alarm bells go off that I need food. Good information too. Maybe I did need it, maybe I didn't. It was in any case. I didn't feel guilty about it. It's just information and it also makes me more aware. I was able to let it be there in love. Today I really feel what effect this has on my body. My intestines are more upset right away. And so I'm sitting here again today and I'm fasting again, because there was another prompting. That's why I'm only eating dinner today. That feels good. I feel fit. I just have the energy to exercise, work, transform and be present.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udc9a Keep researching and trusting \ud83d\udc9a<\/h3>\n

And that is why I keep on researching. May I experience what it wants to tell me. May I trust that my entire system knows what is good for me. May I feel what my body needs. May I experience in the coming period what happens and what presents itself in the coming time. May I trust that this process wants to teach me something. May I trust that I will become more authentic from it. Everything happens for a reason and this feels deep. To be continued\u2026<\/p>\n

Aho \ud83d\udc9a\ud83d\udc3a<\/strong><\/p>\n
