As I begin my gentle fast today, time already slows down. Without need for gathering food, making it, eating it, cleaning up afterwards, digesting it, and processing it, there’s more time available for other purposes. Giving my body a chance to rest in this way as I digest myself, I know I will be renewed in the process as I have experienced many times.
I have at my disposal all that is necessary to support this brief fast. I’m grateful this year that my annual fast day lands right on the Capricorn new moon. I will make the best use of it, setting intentions for a healthy, happy and productive new month, especially as we conclude this year of the Snake and shed all that is no longer viable.
How do you slow things down? Can you lighten your diet if not fast? Ki to Happiness breathes deeply, inverts the body, and fasts to experience the ever present Now.
