G'day

Generally the less I eat the better I feel. One rice fast per week has become a sort of tradition for me. In the early days of my MB I have done extended rice fasts for up to 6 weeks. They were painful and revealing. It has proven to be more viable for me to be consistent and steady in eating patterns. The bigger the front, the bigger the back. By avoiding extreme fluctuations, the food seems to function better when given the time needed for the body to acclimate to and assimilate changes.

#7 diet is the "Master class" to be respected as such and not used as a magic wand for instant gratification. It can be as damaging as it can be healing - a very yin/yang thing. You are interested in doing a #7, and I can fully appreciate your desire. #7 is a powerful tool. Try it once a week, or every 10 days, a day at a time, at first. Even that will reveal things and help prepare you for even deeper experiences. Then down the road, you can do 2 days, then 3 days, etc. as your body adjusts, and eventually seven, ten and more days becomes relatively easy. Unfortunately we do not live in a #7 world, so it would take a profound Master to sustain #7 for any substantial length of time.
Your body will appreciate having the time to keep up with the changes, which can be subtle at times, and minimally discernible. That is also reason to go slow and avoid failing to register the little changes that ultimately sum up to the big changes.

If one does not "dirty" oneself, cleansing is not so compelling. Keeping clean has equal import in the attitude one maintains as well as the diet one consumes. Again yin/yang strikes with bewildering menace. Attitude effects the food as food effects attitude. Chicken before the egg, or was it a pregnant chicken? I emphasize going slowly and steadily so as to afford the time to be discriminating--to develop better judgment.

Yes I can feel a difference with but one day of #7. I can also feel the difference of a few too many grains on salt, or a few too many mouths full of food. Give yourself time to become sensitive, and aware of the subtleties that are critical and much too easily overlooked or disregarded.


There is so much to see and learn
