Yoga season detox (from cold season to warm)

For 3 days in our family we have done a fast time. Fasting with light centrifuge of veggies and fruit, fresh organic infusion, bouillon of veggies from our garden. This time gone away in silence, meditation, gardening, walk and more has given more complicity, and help us to find new mindfulness and new tastefulness.

At this point I want to say: dont eat to lose weight or to get more weight, but eat to feel better, to take care of us and our loved ones.

Anyone can choose freely what to eat, but sometimes our choice is unaware or even worst when to have a lunch has becomen a routine. 

While reducing food portion for a few days, we understood that fasting (including only fresh juice and bouillon) is awakening our senses again from a state of hibernation, and may be finding our body coordinates, reseting our taste and our mind so to sudden restart with mindfulness our own life.

I would say someone who is all-counscious vegan or even openminded macrobiotic can be epicurean.  I do believe in the possibility to change our food education and habits. At 30 years old for exemple, we have many pieces of food education (including fetal, infantil, childhood and adulthood diets) and we have a food pattern made of some really creative fabrication!  I remember myself at 18 eating almost nothing (low fat yogurt and fruit) which had no sense except to be fashionable and beloved. And after a period of being pissed of food, a new way of eating. In a nutshell, it is possible to shut up emotion chaos and having care of yourself for a few days facing your food pattern while fasting. Objective: reset your senses and feelings about food to genuine taste (infantil taste?) and slowly recognize new taste. In a few words tactics is decrease to increase.

You asked (facebook, twitter @mammayoga and radio) me for fasting:

- what to do when happen some signs on the peel?

I personnally use antisectic cream called Kimuli (biosophia)'made of tea tree oil.

- how to prepare fasting?

Classical ayurvedic remedy called triphala (biosophia or any other) for 15 days before. I drink it with water. It can be used also to prepare deeper cleansing.

- what to do when against headache for fasting?

During first 24 hours headache is normal as if you quit drinking coffee. I personally use umeboshi plum.

- how many times do you fast during a year?

Once upon a time the season were 4... Fasting was done during the fifth season, twice a year when changing from cold to warm season and the opposite. But nowadays I would say once during a period of 3/4 days of cold before a warm period, before summer. And some other times as you feel to do it.

- what to do if fasting bring in mind mental fixations and nightmare?

I would say meditate and dont analyse tour nightmare.

Thanks.
