gj551 Posted January 24, 2011 so im doing a fast (water only since friday) and it hit me: could one stop the hunger by means of meditation? do you know a meditative technique that deals with this? maybe something having to with the middle elixir field because of the stomach being located there.. im of the conviction that, being a fat person, its unnecessary to eat as long as youre weighing much and its all habitual so when theres hunger flaring up, its wrong a feeling in the sense that you just got used to eat without your body needing it plus a lean body could facilitate meditation Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Visualize it, then swallow it and feel it fill you up and take the hunger away. I never tried this techinque yet but tomorrow I'll be fasting for one day, then after a week or two for two days, and when springtime comes I'll go for a longer one. So I'll be eating energy too edit: oh yeah, I almost forgot coffee enemas Edited January 24, 2011 by King Kabalabhati Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gerard Posted January 25, 2011 Psyllium husk. Make sure you take plenty of water when supplementing with this seed. I recommend taking Chinese tea (oolong and/or green) as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Astral_Anima Posted January 25, 2011 Well depending on why you're fasting... I've found emptiness meditation is great and that fasting compliments it quite well. I don't know about the middle dan tien (heart center if i'm not mistaken) in relation to hunger physically, but it's true that when you fast it'll open your heart center. You'll begin to feel everything and all the emotions you've suppressed will surface (kinda like kunlun). Once thats been dealt with however emotional eating ceases to be (if it was ever a problem) and after a certain period of time "habitual feeding" will also fade from the neuro-net. Personally I've found that we spend most of our life sedating ourselves, either with food, TV, video-games, porn, etc. and not alot of time actually LIVING. Fasting will show you what it's like to actually live and i'll say for me it was easier when I did nothing but sleep and play video games but eventually I had to experience life and I realized how great it could be but how terrible it was... Also if interests you or anyone else reading I believe the secret to fasting, liquid diets and even breatharianism is stocking up on micro-organisms. There was a study shown on this tribe(?) who were subsisting off VERY little during a time of no food and they found this tribe had a SUPER healthy GI tract and that the bacteria were producing upwards of 25-30g of protein a day using the molecule of the air to synthesize it. Oh and it now hit me, lol. Meditation on the upper elixer field (dan tien) behind the bridge of the nose and also the spot in the middle of your brain + sungazing. Basically I've come to conclude that there's 3 main ways to produce ATP (which exclude absorbing directly from the chi in the environment). 1.) Digestion. This is the best known and most common. However most foods take more energy to digest then the give in ATP. Thats why most food is a sedative. I've found the only foods that don't rob energy are raw foods excluding nuts and seeds that aren't sprouted and including raw milk, eggs and meat (even though I don't recommend raw meat). 2.) Breath. most of us don't use our full lung capacity so we depend more on digestion to bring us the needed ATP. Whatever allows one to fill their lungs more will lower any weakness or desire for energy. 3.) Sunlight. When the pinneal gland is stimulated it can absorb increasing amounts of sunlight and turn it into ATP. This is how people like HRM use sungazing to forego solid food. Also by doing this you can increase your energy to points where you would not believe. Sungazing + Kunlun/Celestial Nei Kung is like insanity. To stimulate the pinneal gland simply focus on the upper elixer field and the point in the center of your brain. Or allow sunlight to enter the lens of your eye (to be safe only during sunrise and sunset) Then of course you have methods like "skin breathing" ala Chunyi Lin where you breathe with your pores and absorb the energy directly from the environment. If by "hunger" you mean the rumbling and pains in your stomach...that isn't hunger (IME) that is your body breaking down and eliminating undigested waste (and the stomach and intestines shrinking down to their un-inflamed state). This is all I'll say for now. Best of luck to you, I know water fasts are hard but the benefits FAR outweigh the costs. I wish you Endurance. -Astral Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
