Master Cleanse - Day 3

Last night was the hardest night. I wanted a nice big juicy burger so bad. I resisted.
Now I begin day 3!
Also I am proud to say I didn't check facebook for two days! I feel free.

I never knew fasting was sooooooooooo amazing. Infact I wish I had done it more. I feel my head is clearer,  and I am more connected with my body. Going into meditation is easier, I don't know how, but it is easier to relax and empty oneself. How is this possible? I think it's because one of the biggest things that drive us - Hunger, is what we are training to ignore, so it is easier to ignore everything else, as a result. That's just my theory.

I feel more connected with humanity and less attached to material things. In example I know what hunger means, and just struggling and wishing I could eat, but not food (I cleared out my house of most junk foods). Hunger is maybe the first sensation babies feel... its what makes us human, makes us want to survive. I think that's what makes me feel so connected. Yet the ability to say no I don't need it, I will meditate, makes me realize if I can do without food everyday (and live off just water and the air we breathe), then do we really need all the other stuff we want and want and want in life?

I realized that this culture of abundance, plentiful and large portions has trained us to feel hungry more often, want foods we do not need. Also it creates tremendous waste, waste which only a few see. If the waste was placed in front of our eyes day after day, we would do something about it. Right? But we often just through our trash in a can, flush the toilet and never see the accumulation of our waste. It's a lot. Then there are people everywhere, all over the world, hungry, thirsty, homeless... and WHAT will you whine about today?

Do I need that big juicy burger? Right now a crumb would satiate me, or even a leaf of lettuce.
But really the water washes my hunger and stress away. It cleanses me internally, mentally, emotionally.

Breathe!
