A fast of 3 days or longer should be conducted under
ideal conditions. You should be able to rest any time you feel
the toxins passing out of your body. During this time you
might feel some discomfort. You should rest and relax quietly
until the toxins have passed out of your body. It’s best to be
at peace and alone when possible. This brief period of
discomfort will leave as soon as the loosened toxins have
passed out through your kidneys, lungs, skin, etc.
During longer fasts don’t tell others you’re fasting. Why
not? During a fast you must keep in mind only positive
thoughts of the cleansing and the renewing miracles
happening in your body. Often others are ignorant and
uninformed about fasting and project negative thoughts.
Our fasting is such a very personal and quiet time that
many years ago I went into the Santa Monica Mountains in
California and bought a tract of land in the wilderness of the
Topanga Canyon near Malibu. There I built a retreat cabin,
identical to Thoreau’s at Walden Pond. In that natural
seclusion, Patricia and I enjoy the quiet and peace for our
fasting time. If it’s possible for you to get away to some
secluded place and do your fast in Mother Nature’s splendor
with fresh air and solitude, you will enjoy better results!
There are also some very fine health spas throughout
the world where all the conditions are perfect for a restful
fast. Inquire at health stores for any located in your area.
Many of the Bragg students who fast regularly tell us that
they use their vacation as a period of fasting and purification
of body, mind and soul. Often they will go to some beautiful
spot to rent accommodations and take their fast in seclusion.
I am not saying it’s necessary to go away to fast. Your home
is your castle and hopefully you will be cozy and peaceful
there. The Bragg family all regularly fast. When any one is
fasting, we have great consideration for them. We have an
agreement not to ask each other how we feel during the
fast. Fasting is so personal that no one can do anything for
you during the fast, so it’s best not to discuss it with others.
Relax and be thankful for your miracle cleansing.
