Fasting for Love

First of all: thank You to Mango, Who suggested that I could create a blog for this fast here at google.

A quick hello to Everyone.

Yesterday, on the vernal equinox I started a juice fast as a prayer for healing for Family Members, and Others that I know are in need of healing.

Years ago, reading "Six months on orange juice" in the book Man's Higher Consciousness, I was inspired to go on a very long fast, which I did -- also for a Family Member's healing -- about 18 years ago. It was a wonderful, wonderful time. And I have shared a little about that experience in My book: A RADIANT LIFE: Raw Food and the Presence of Love.

I am sharing about this fast here as it may be of interest to You Who are reading this. I hope so! My experiences fasting have been very joyful and illuminating, and that is what I want to share.

Here's what I've written so far, and I expect to add each day.

Durian in the afternoon. Durian in the evening. And Durian in the middle of the night.

March 20, 2008 First Day of Spring, morning

One more durian meal this morning! And then I’m set to start. I’ve already experienced out avocadoes from the fast the last week of February. With durian satiation, that should be it for temptation.

Later on. My so-called ego wanted one more avocado and some seaweed! I went with it, and now feel free.

Woke at about 12:30 a.m. with a giant sore throat from all that durian and avocado. I never get sick! It's a few hours later and I'm better. So funny that the general belief is that germs make Us sick, when for Me it's only too much: too much fruit or salad, too much emotion ... stuff like that; which is great because One is easily amenable to healing with some improved thought.

Starting a fast is such an adventure. I'd like to mention that I fasted as a prayer for Family the last week of February and would like to share an experience I had. It was the 29th of February -- which always seems like a precious day -- the Brigadoon of dates! At about 4:30 a.m. My Daughter and I were driving up to New England, and I was listening to the song by Shaina Noll: Angels Watching Over Me. I had gotten Guidance (much more about that later) to pray with the song. After listening three times, when I heard the words: "Every single breath I take, Angels watching over Me" -- My Guide was able to impart to Me just how much I -- and Every One -- are Loved: that literally He has been with Me -- without leaving -- ever since I chose to come here.

It was such an overwhelming feeling of Love that tears of joy began streaming, as I continued singing with Shaina Noll's beautiful voice. The feeling that this is so for All of Us brought so much Happiness.

This Experience has been with Me constantly since.
