Inedia: Imagine surviving without food and water!!
Inedia or Breatharians or Fasting
is a belief that consider a human being can survive without food and few even believe that a human being can also survive without water too.
As per their belief, energy required for survival can come from Prana(type of yoga/meditation), the vital life force in Hinduism. Sunlight is considered to be one of the main source of Prana. As there are few plats which can survive on sunlight alone, it is also possible for a person to survive on sunlight.
- There is an eye-opening fact that many people died while practicing Inedia due to starvation and dehydration.
Nutrition science claims that fasting for longer period leads to starvation and uses reserved fats of body to survive, and eventually leads to death.
While Breatharians claims that, by Prana a human can get energy and does not need to use reserved body fat, and a human can survive.
There have been multiple examples of such cases.
- Prahalad Jani is a man who claims that he has not eaten from last 70 years and he currently 83 years old. Few researches were organised and he was kept under observation for 15 days,
- A person from Israel survived for 8 days without food and water.
- A report from 1669 claims that a woman survived 12 months fast.
- Jasmuheen can go on fastening for months even drining a drop of water.
There are 100s of examples of such cases and people.
I am still trying to search more about this topics and will update here once I get more information.
Thanks for reading. Upvote, Resteem and Follow @qagiri
It is good to occasionally fast, but not drinking water is not good ad will kill you.
@cryptopie
Yeah, for us it's absolutely mandatory. But, yes there are many exceptions in the world who have practiced life without it :)

STOPInteresting blog. I think we still prefer to eat. Upvoted
@exploretravel
yeah!
I too! But, it's really interesting to read about this kind of people.
I find it very tough to balance out my energy when fasting. I may try it again but it has not worked well for me before. Interesting post.
@lightsplasher
very true. I also can't fast, if I do I start loosing weight. But, I think, people practice to take energy from Prana which allows taking energy from Sun.
I have been with people talking about some yogas/meditation which in turn slows down our breathing and heart rate and saves energy.
Started following you - I hope we will discuss about these kind of topics or some other interesting genres :)
Absolutely fascinating topic! I think if humanity understood "carnsim" better in association w the "law of correspondence" and start to move towards a plant-based diet, then possibly consuming "air" and even light (as some of these early pioneers have shown is possible) Then humanity could possibly go to fourth density and beyond. Thank you so much for posting, I'm following!
Thanks, @trueawakening for such an appreciation!
Fasting and a plant-based diet are the secret to living dis-ease free. I have been fasting everyday for 18 hours a day for a month. I have never felt better!
