Interesting. Thanks for sharing. I am beginning a personal healing journey and commuting to an extended fast. Anyone else ever done this?

I haven't, but my wife occasionally fasts and finds it beneficial, though they are not extended fasts. Have you watched the 'Alone' series on television? Some of the folks on there involuntarily fast. I find it a fascinating series because of the psychological, emotional and spiritual journey that it becomes for many of them.

Interesting. Thanks for sharing. I am beginning a personal healing journey and commuting to an extended fast. Anyone else ever done this? Hello Newbee, and welcome! The longest I ever fasted, (and, it wasn't a complete, total fast, but rather the 'lemonade diet,' where you drink lemon water with cayenne pepper), think Imade it to 5 days. AT first, did okay during the daytime...and at night, slept beautifully, but my dreams were filled with food fantasies!...by the fifth day, while awake, I was quite literally creating food fantasies in my mind.....scenarios depicting what and how I would eat (food porn for sure!)....I made it until dinner time that day, where I succumbed to an idea of going out for Indian food. On the lemonade diet, (as all fasts, I'm quite sure) it is stressed, that you should not break the fast by consuming anything heavy, or you're gonna get stomach upset...that you should ease into solids.... Well, let's just say, I was able to put away quite a bit on that table, before the pain hit......and then I had to make a bee-line out of there! I'd be curious to hear what kind of fast - duration, etc, you are embarking upon.

So Andrew have you yourself done all the reiki attunements? When I was with Barry Long many of the men their complaints were they had never been hugged by their fathers. I do feel touch has a place in the awakened arena and story mode where one can connect to energy and it can be a stepping stone to That where nothing is not a hint of energy if vibration. No sense of healing occurs but healing just happens as you are not in the way. As a child a sage would enter my room. Now I feel it was just a stored memory of my past associations with sages. I don't want to use the word Hindu sage as I feel the sages of old didn't identify themselves as being Hindu in those lands. But he would place his hand on my chest and head. Something I use on a few people to still the mind. Ramana used a similar technique with his mother and beloved pet cow. His main teaching was the silence stillness he was and if the seeker couldn't catch that sacred thread then the practice of focusing within on the I Am. Years of practice to come to what he was always pointing at in his very Being.
But he also used touch with his mother and pet cow. As any sage tears through your past. As any sage can bring a seeker to stillness through this too. Just as the woman touched Jesus robe and he felt it and turned and said daughter your faith has healed you......he was not in the way and healing happened
With Wayne Dyer he talks of being healed. From just serving an ordinary man whilst he was.....let him speak for himself
We then visited a castle in San Damiano just outside of Assisi—the home of the convent St. Francis had set up for St. Clare, the first female admitted into the Franciscan order. Our plan was to walk up to the third level to see the place where St. Clare had died. A young man named John Graybill was the first one up the stairs and I was right behind him. John was twenty-two years old and weighed nearly two hundred pounds with his leg braces on, which he wore because, as he said, his body—not he—had muscular dystrophy. When we got up eight or nine steps, the staircase started to narrow and John realized to his dismay that he couldn’t go any further—he couldn’t extend his legs to the left or to the right, which is the only way he could manage to climb a flight of stairs. He turned to me and said, “I don’t know what I’m going to do. I can’t go back down the steps because of all the people in line and I can’t go up because I can’t move my legs.” I immediately said, “Why don’t you get on my back and I’ll carry you?”
But I had forgotten a couple of things—I forgot that I was sixty years old, and I also forgot that I had serious ligament and cartilage damage in my knees that required surgery. (I had run eight miles a day, every day, for twenty-two years and had also played a lot of tennis, so for the last several years, I had been forced to wear a brace while doing those activities.) After going up just a couple of steps with John on my back, I suddenly felt my knees starting to crumble. At that very moment, I had a vision of St. Francis, and suddenly my knees went from crumbling to becoming straight and erect and strong. I also had an incredible burst of energy like I’ve never had before in my entire life. I didn’t just walk up the rest of the stairs, I ran up the last two-and-a-half flights with John on my back!
When I got to the top, I wasn’t even winded. My wife was incredulous. She said, “How could you have carried him up like that? You were running but you still have all of this energy!” Everyone was shocked over what I had just done, including me. I went out on the balcony, put my hands together in prayer, and gave thanks to St. Francis for what seemed like a miraculous healing.
That run up the stairs with John on my back was one of the most miraculous and life-changing events in my life. It will be seven years this October and my knees are completely healed—I no longer have to wear braces to play tennis or to run. It’s clear to me that the divinely inspired energy of St. Francis is still at work today in that ancient castle.

Yes, I have received Reiki attunements and am also attuned to the Reconnection energies. Sometimes I prefer Reiki, sometimes the Reconnective energies, sometimes I just allow divine energy, or source energy to flow. I don't feel aligned to any one practice or modality, I just like them all quite honestly. I am definitely drawn to the healing arts, and while compassion is at the core of it, compassion can be at the core of many things, so what really attracts me to the healing arts is the 'elegance' of it. I have always been spectacularly bad at using my hands in practical manual ways, and that's partly because my mind doesn't put pieces together well....painting a wall or mowing a lawn is about my limit of what I can do, and I do actually enjoy those activities. What I like about the healing arts is that I dont have to put pieces together, I don't have to figure out how something works, I can just relax, tune in, and get out of the way. And yet there is a level of creativity/artistry within it that I do appreciate. So I watch healers of all kinds. There's actually a Christian healer that I like very much, his way of talking doesn't quite work for me, but his faith and elegance is amazing. I'll go and get a video...he is a street healer.

I have only watched about half of the video and that far I liked and enjoyed it, the content and the style of delivery. And the honesty of admitting to having been abused.
