Understanding Ekadashi (Fasting) ; Soul food and Its spiritual benefit

in #life6 years ago

Human is made up for Body(gross), Soul(subtle) and Spirit (spiritual). The Body cloth the Soul and the Soul cloth the Spirit. The Spirit is the eternity in us. The Spirit is the breath of God the creator. As God is eternal, his breath is also eternal. The soul has beginning and end but the spirit remains eternal. The unity of the body, soul and spirit makes human.

When we eat balance diet, herbs, fruits and healthy food, we grow strong and healthy body. Good sleep, enough rest and less anger keep you physically healthy. The soul is always happy with strong and healthy body.

Fasting is minimizing the body desires to enhance your soul. We fast to attract metaphysical strength and health. When we fast, we grow strong and healthy soul. A strong and healthy soul have a strong and healthy aura. Aura is a field of energy around us that fight and resist evil attacks in the metaphysical world. Also, it attracts good deeds and wealth for you to see as chances in life. Also, positivism, laughter and enthusiasm minded attract good energy for your soul.

We have different kinds of fasting

  1. Fasting out of ignorance (Primstical fasting).; This is when some one fast at any point in time without aims and objectives; I feel like fasting so am fasting. The benefit of this kind of fasting is of less benefit.
  2. Lion fasting.; This is where someone choose to fast because, he/she has no food to eat. The  subject breaks when gets food to eat. The benefit of this kind of fasting is less.
  3. Hoarding fasting.; This is where one compile the breakfast, lunch and dinner and eat it in the evening. This is unhealthy way of fasting and is waste of time.
  4. Fasting in the mode of goodness.; This is where one fast with purpose, observe specific time to begins and break the fasting. The subject know the right time to fast and right food to break the fast with. The subject can even decide not to sleep. This is a right way of fasting. This help you to achieve the maximum mystical benefit in fasting

Different ways of fasting;

Fasting from food; One can decide not to eat food for some period of time but drink water only. Even one also decide to eat only uncooked food. One can also decide not to eat cereals. And so on...

 Dry fasting.; Is abstinence form food and water.


The DON'T in Fasting

  • Do not engage in sexual act during fasting.
  • Do not engage in violence and unhealthy conversation.
  • Do not touch impure person.
  • Do not massage nor shave.
  • Do not intoxicate.

NB;Is advisable not to sleep during the day time.

Ekadashi is Sanskrit language which means 11. Is the 11th day of every full moon and after full moon. Is notify as special days to fast within the year. Is 24days within 360days. Is highly observed by Indians and Hindi's. But the fact is that, it comes from the Vedas; the oldest scriptures in the world.

When you observe Ekadashi properly, you get answers to all your heart wishes; prayers and also attain high mystical benefits.

May Peace, Love, Awaken and Awareness be your guide.
