Spring fasting 2018, day 7
We were up before the sun today, and thus could enjoy the sunrise during our yoga. Note that our apartment is on the first floor of a house that is located on a street with just the pavement to separate it from the asphalt, and a semi-industrial building on the other side of the road,…

Spring fasting 2018, day 6
Having 3 “meals” per day, be they small, sort of makes us return to our normal daily routine. That is, as far as we have a routine.

We survived the first day of our spring fasting 2018 with relative ease. We’ve been alternating cups of warm water, warm water with ginger and rice water throughout the day. Haven’t taken the magnesium sulphate yet, we’ll do that tomorrow. Daily routine It is a bit strange though. Because we don’t eat, we don’t have…

Preparing for spring: fasting and decluttering
We had decided some time ago that this spring, we want to do a thorough cleaning of our intestines. Ayurveda recommends to clean your intestines on a regular basis, and spring seems like the optimum moment for it. Apparently, we accumulate undigested food in our intestines. I try not to think of that too much,…
