Guest guest Posted March 24, 2007 Report Posted March 24, 2007 Hi Elia I just wanted to recommend this book for anybody who is planning a complete fast. It is called " The Fasting Path " by Stephen Harrod Buhner. It is the most comprehensive, enlightened book about fasting that I have read so far. He covers not just the physical, but also the spiritual and emotional elements of fasting. There is a great deal of information about what one can expect on the complete fast and explanations about how the body works during a fast. I have read a number of books about fasting over the years, but this one is by far the most informative. I have wanted to do a complete fast for a long time now. The longest fast I ever did was 67 days (about ten years ago), but that was a juice fast. It was very beneficial and I'm glad I did it, but I have wanted to do a complete fast at some point. Reading this book is helping me to understand why I have been putting it off and is giving me more motivation to get to it! I have had a couple of what I used to call " false starts " to fasting recently. I don't see them as false starts anymore, but more like preliminary starts or something. I know I will start when I am ready for it and I can see how these preliminary starts have taught me things, and so they have been a necessary part of the process. I look forward to the fast more than ever before and hope to share the journey out here with you all. Wishing everyone a healthy day!

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2007 Report Posted March 26, 2007 If you go to www.half.com you will find it for much less than the cost of a bookstore. This book is helping me to prepare for the upcoming fast in a way that I never have before and it has given me cause to think about a lot of different things. I'm not sure how much of it to share out here because I don't have a good sense of the parameters of the group yet, but I can wholeheartedly recommend the book. :-) Rachel Quote
