I appreciate the concern, Lolly, but I really don't think it's bad for me. Fasting is an ancient art that calls for responsibility in the activity. This occasion marks the first time in four years that I had fainted and several factors influenced it. To begin with, before I fast I make it a priority to eat foods that are high in carbohydrates ranging from whole grain products to a simple apple, which I neglected to do this time. Second, I was in a hot and steamy shower which I feel could have majorly influenced it.
As a responsible faster, I realize that I need to nibble on a little something but I can't bring myself to do it due to my complete lack of hunger.
Meditation is a good way to sharpen senses and I do try to squeeze it in every now and then along with my sorry excuse for yoga, though my day is usually so busy that I hardly have time for it and I find it much easier to fast. True, it's not for everyone, but it does work for me.
