Water Fasting

Water fasting can be one of the highest and most intense forms of transformation to the body, putting it through a crucible in which the body can transmutate, alter chemistry, consume and purge the weak cells, and regenerate tissue.

Be warned though — water fasting is also very powerful and is probably not meant for beginners. Both on a mental level, as well as physically, it can be very challenging and will put you through the gauntlet of what you think you’re able to handle.

While many methods talked about in Rapid Regeneration depend on technology, global supply chains, and new discoveries, like juicing, certain herbal supplements and some cleansing ingredients, water fasting goes back thousands of years and has been practiced by some of the top healers and spiritual people on the planet.

Not to get too controversial here, but in the lost, non-canonized Book of the Essenes (AKA the Essene Gospel of Peace), it was reported that Jesus of Nazareth was a real person and did heal people, although it wasn’t so much of a magic show as it was a natural wellness clinic and spa experience. According to that document, Jesus would instruct individuals to bath in the mineral waters, cover their skin in detoxifying mud, and even instruct people to give themselves enemas using an emptied out vegetable gourd (I am absolutely not kidding you). He was described as helping people get rid of parasites and actually vomit them out. Jesus also reportedly instructed individuals to not use fire to cook their foods and eat only foods from Mother Earth as a way of existing more harmoniously.

The reason I bring this up is that, in the report from the Essenes, it tells about how people would come from all over to be healed by Jesus of Nazareth, and he would tell them to abstain from foods while they were doing these other healing activities. These people were said to lie on the banks of the river for days and would writhe and twist around, until eventually they would overcome whatever sickness had been consuming them and they were healed.

This is truly a bizarre report that I was shocked to read myself when I discovered it, and I’ll bet you didn’t expect me to reference that in this chapter about water fasting. The reason I bring that up is because many leaders and healers and spiritual guides, both in Western and Eastern civilization, over the course of human history, have employed fasting as a way to achieve physical salvation from health issues as well as enlightenment and spiritual harmony.

Water fasting is challenging, but when you’re ready for it, great things can await. Doing a five-day water fast was one of the great experiences of my life. The first day was difficult, the second day was even more difficult, but by the third day I had lost all desire for food and I was on a high, both physically and emotionally for the next few days.

I felt my body going through a transformative healing process, and even a bit of a crisis, as I woke up at one point with a sore throat and felt a touch of vertigo. Actually, through the course of several days I felt circulation increase throughout my body, especially into my extremity areas and into my upper head, neck, and gum areas. It is a very strange thing to describe, but I could feel my body turning and churning through itself. I would sit in a chair and literally feel my nerves tingling and sending energy flows up and down all throughout my extremities.

In fact through the course of fasting, the body does end up consuming itself. Much toxins and acids are stored in fatty deposits throughout the body, including in the arms, buttocks, hips and belly area. These fatty stores get transformed into glucose and burned for energy when fasting. Abstaining from food is really an experience where your body recycles its own energy, and consumes itself — this is really a trip of an experience.

This is one reason why fasting could be unwise to do for somebody who is in a highly toxic or acidic condition. Because in that sense, the body can’t really recycle the materials within it and still burn ‘clean’ fuel. When there are so many toxins, free radicals, oxidation, and damaged cells, you will feel the weight of the body trying to process all of these things out at the same time and still get its energy from somewhere — this could be considered as burning ‘dirty’ fuel. Personally, I waited until I had been eating clean and healthfully for a while and had mostly transitioned already to a healthy and vibrant intake of foods, before I undertook the fast.

There are numerous benefits to fasting which have been documented more thoroughly by other individuals The benefits which have been observed in people who are undergoing fasting would include metabolic function enhancement, fat burning, increased levels of hormone production, improved organ function, and even growth hormones being generated after three days of no food (something typically only observed in growing children and teenagers).

Nature leads us in the direction of fasting, and it is an intuitive and instinctive solution to the perils of modern living. Even animals will fast when they are sick, as an instinctive measure. So too oftentimes will an ill human feel like abstaining from foods. This loss of appetite and craving for food is actually a gift from God. However, to our own demise, we ignore this when we turn to chicken soup, ‘get-well-soon’ muffins, hospital meals, and other comfort foods which actually work to make us sicker. The keys to wellness and vitality are there waiting for those individuals who can see through the facades of certain social conventions and discern the truth.

I really did feel while completing this fasting experience that I had completely elevated my journey, in terms of health and wellness as my body continued to heal and repair itself and mock itself up. This was a very important turning point for me, because at this time I had felt so close to finally alleviating the major health problems which had cursed me. I felt that this series of higher level fasts (first a nine-day grape fast followed a month later by a five-day water fast) really was the thing which pushed me over the edge. After it was over, finally I was not only back to normal but actually in a state of better health, wellness and energy than even originally when I had first gotten terribly ill many years before.

I also felt that I had launched myself into a new hemisphere in terms of experiential energy, consciousness, and my overall thrust into life within my own life force energy. Going through those several days, I recall literally feeling like ‘a floating ball of positivity’. I reached a new level of presence in the moment, abandoning all thought and contrived agendas of my own mind. I could actually just sit in a chair an immediately I would go into a meditative state, deeply connecting with the powerful flows of connectivity throughout the universe.

I had several profound insights and felt strong callings which beckoned me to fulfill certain purposes over the coming years. That was almost four years ago, as of the time of writing, and I can see that I heeded that call and I have been in the process of actualizing the visions that I experienced about what I was supposed to do in this lifetime.

Had I not been fasting, could I have still discovered these things and still figured out these universal truths and identified the roadmap of the direction of my life? Could I have still reversed my body chemistry and regenerated my nervous system and cognitive abilities back to a high level? I believe the answer is yes, in both cases, although it is my opinion that the solutions and the answers would have otherwise come on at a much slower pace. The water fast allowed this metamorphosis to happen much more quickly.

‘Be bold, and mighty forces will come to your aid,’ somebody once said. The intense rewards, both in terms of golden insights, as well as actual body transformation, are indeed given to those who are bold enough to take that leap of faith and step out on a ledge. This is true for anyone willing to do a higher level cleanse or fast, whether it is juicing, fruit fasting, grapes, lemonade, and especially the master fast, abstaining from all foods (water fasting).

Truly it is an intimidating experience, at first. I had many doubts about whether I could even do it and worried that I was setting myself up for failure and would quit either during the first or second day. It was an amazing experience when I somehow felt injected with an outside power that pushed me through it and I made it through. This gave me tremendous confidence and strength going forwards that there really are some kind of guardian angels looking out for me after all.

So yes, it is intimidating to think about doing the fast and you may think that you are not going to be able to handle it. I can’t advise you personally on whether you can or can’t. I do agree that it is a bold move to do it. For those bold enough to take action, who have detoxed and cleaned themselves out enough in preparation for the next level, there are mighty forces which will reinforce and bring help, and there are epic rewards on the other side of that challenge.

Good luck to you, and Godspeed ahead.
