Paramahansa Yogananda: The physical and spiritual rewards of fasting

No food gives strength, no change of air invigorates, nothing can restore energy to the body when its life force begins to diminish. Fasting gives rest to the overworked organs, the bodily engines; and also to the life force itself, relieving it of extra work. When you cease to make the life force feel it has to depend for its existence on external sources-food, water, oxygen, sunshine-it becomes self-supporting, independent. The more you concentrate on the palate, the more disease you will have. To enjoy food is all right, but to be a slave to it is the bane of life. Why should you let nature hurt you? Nature cannot punish you if you are not attached to the body or bound by food. You must recognize that life force is the sustainer of the body.

THE SRF LESSONS
The SRF Lessons teach you how to live a balanced and successful life by awakening your connection to the Divine. The SRF Lessons are a transmission of sacred knowledge that will uplift and transform all aspects of your life: a progressive, home-study program teaching meditation techniques and the essence of spirituality handed down through a renowned lineage of yoga masters - Mahavatar Babaji, Lahiri Mahasaya, Swami Sri Yukteswar, and Paramahansa Yogananda - and available to you.
The Lessons were originated by Paramahansa Yogananda. At the core of his teachings is a powerful system of meditation techniques: the Kriya Yoga science of meditation. This ancient science of the soul-to which millions have been introduced by Autobiography of a Yogi and other books by him-provides powerful methods for awakening higher spiritual consciousness and the inner bliss of divine realization.
From the very first Lesson, you receive definite methods by which you can experience the benefits of meditation immediately.
While building a solid foundation for deep meditation, you will learn three powerful techniques taught by Paramahansa Yogananda as necessary first steps in the comprehensive spiritual science of Kriya Yoga: Energization Technique and Exercises, Hong-Sau Technique of Concentration and Aum Technique of Meditation.

My best advice for anyone who wants to fast and not suffer, first, detox all processed foods for a week, the second week only consume proteins and whole carbs such as fruit (otherwise, no carbs). The third week, begin a one day fast, then eat low carb for a day and back to fasting… and when you’re ready, go for 2 days then 3. When you break a fast, al ata do it slowly and with gentle foods, such an unsweetened yogurt and berries. Then have more in about 1-2 hours. You will get very sick if you do not first train your body so please know that if you do experience that, it’s only because your body is in shock. So easy does it 🙏

But, I learned sooo much about why I should fast and the benefits of fasting in this video. I always learn so much from Paramahansa Yogananda my Guru, through the Lessons of SRF and all of Yoganandas’ books. Thank you soooo much Wisdom of Yogananda KZfaq Channel for your time and effort to make this information available, as it comes directly from Yogananda through his books, available through your Channel for the world to hear and access!!

@deancooling3480 Жыл бұрын

There are many ways to fast. Taking juice is but one. Water only is the most simple fast, but may be difficult for some. A juice fast, or watered down juice fast, may be easier for those people. My Japanese sensei (teacher), conducts one week fasts of one small grain and vegetable meal per day (a half-fast). This is chewed 200 times per mouthful - with exceptional results. Chewing is a forgotten healing art (Guruji advised us to chew more for health in one of his talks). In any case, cutting down on our intake, if we are prone to excessive eating, can only be beneficial.

@underwaterpassion 9 күн бұрын

@@playmoments4672hi, I just couldn’t answer under your name so I thought you have blocked me. I do fasting and intermittent fasting since 1,5 year and as we BOTH know, fasting on the orange juice is not fasting. This can be called : detox , but not fasting because orange juice is sugar = insuline production and that means no autophagy. Sugar = insuline = no ketogenic state of the body.

@playmoments4672 9 күн бұрын

@@underwaterpassion thanks for answering. In my experience anything you ingest different from water starts insulin production, which puts you out of fasting negating all the rest (autophagy, etc). But you can still keep yourself in ketogenic state even after insulin is ON if you manage to be very low carb. Proteins or fats start insulin production too. In advanced stages of prolonged fasting I’ve noticed that I remain “keto-adapted” after eating certain amount of carbs. Here I can include fruits like oranges, or whatever that also includes fructose. In other words, body has become so adapted that it would require a lot of juice , processed food or crap at higher frequencies to not snap back There’s so much intelligence inside us and homeostasis is very underestimated.
