You are a shining light, Luis! 
I laughed because of this play on words that may well reflect a blockage of energy in your sacral region. Maybe someone here can advise you on chakra work that can release it? Wouldn’t that be wonderful!?
The body is a perfect biological machine. We have to understand it’s language so that we can communicate successful with it. This materialistic western society makes us unaware and detached from what goes on in our physical bodies. [B]What to say of the subtle body.[/B]
Indeed! Studying yoga has been a great benefit to me in understanding this.
In the Vedic tradition of India, fasting is done according to religious principles. In the context we are talking, without considering other aspects, this is very good for the physical body, according to this system.

LOL that is good!
You know, so much more than just releasing physical toxins happens during my fast really. My own hunger educates me about others who do not have enough to eat and who are hungry, the starving animals, too. I feel less inclined to venture out into the world physically and spend more energy looking within. I examine my relationship with food. I appreciate food more. I think of saints who have fasted–not that I am a saint! LOL What I mean is I think that my thinking of saints positively affects my vibration.
What’s funny is that negative emotions come up as well! This morning I was irritated for no reason. Maybe these toxins are being released as well?
I generally fast in February to get ready for Spring and to detox after the Holidays. I didn’t consciously choose February. It just happened one year and it felt right. I’ve added the above reasons since then. It just makes sense to me that those are good reasons. Plus, it’s the hardest part of winter for me and this gets me through with a focus. I’ve tried to fast at other times in the year but I would quit because it never has felt right. Often I will go to bed without dinner or having eaten only an apple because it seems to make me sleep better. So, typically I guess those are short “fasts”?
I do what is known as “the Master Cleanse” by Stanley Burroughs, only because that was the first fast I tried and it worked great for me. It’s 10 days of lemon juice, maple syrup and cayenne pepper and lots of water. Then 2 days more of orange juice before introducing light foods. It is a well- debated fasting method; there have been critics and fans over the years but it works well for me. Google it if you’re interested in reading about it or you can buy his little book, [I]The Master Cleanser[/I]. It’s on my kitchen counter! LOL
Love and light,
