Dear All,

Has anyone here had any experience of fasting to promote well-being, rather than as part of a religious ritual?

I have just had a fasting weekend - no food from friday night until sunday morning. I broke my fast with a tangerine, and have since had a banana - I am going out for a little walk now.

I would be really interested to hear from anyone else. Also anyone who has been to a fasting/silent/meditation retreat.

Olly.

I go on a fasting meditation retreat once a year. It starts on friday, when after lunch there is nothing to eat, but we can still drink water. There is no eating or drinking on saturday. Then sunday morning there is water again, and the fast is broken at lunchtime with a meal. There is meditation and pujas throughout, some of which are in silence. It can be very hard work, but always worth it.
