Funny, the latest months I've had this voice inside saying "you should do some fasting". I felt joyous and almost longed for a fast. But never took action. Then several people recommended me to watch a TV-program about fasting. Very inspiring. Scientists have found that a fast now and then decreases a substance in the liver that is harmful and causes diabetes, cancer and coronary diseases. We live longer and healthier without that substance, so fasting 1-2 days a week was recommended for all. However, I still didn't take action.
Then the other day, I was offered an appointment with my ayurvedic councelor, and he checked me out and smiled and said: You should do one day fasting/week from now on. :-D Now, there's no escape. I have decided Sundays will be my day of liquids and prayer. Very traditional, no? LOL I love the way Life prompts me in different ways, when I'm too stubborn and don't listen to my initial intuition.
