Long story short: I know some health problems I've had for quite some time have been literally blocking me from doing anything yoga related. I haven't been able to meditate for almost a year. I really don't think it's related to self-pacing.
I've been doing a lot of brown rice fasting and detox diets. It's definitely working, the problem is improving. But it's soooooo slow, it's taking a lot of time. Sometimes if feel like I could be doing this well into the new year. I stopped water fasting because got to many symptoms from it.
I'm open minded to any suggestions, I'm very convinced that detoxing is REAL. That's my aim here. |

Hi there,
I have no idea what are your health problems but if you are looking for a potent, healthy and balanced energy booster, then I suggest you look up at milk kefir. Kefir is good for a ton of things, including detox. I had a spontaneous awakening back in 2002 and it took me years to recover from the physical and emotional fatigue. Finally last September, I bumped into milk kefir and the results have been incredible on my immune and nervous systems. I feel incredibly well grounded, I have loads of balanced energy. At last I can enjoy and relax into my AYP practices.

Would you feel comfortable sharing your health problems? This may help people respond in a way that is helpful to you. I have done lots of fasting, including longer fasts and they can be great when needed and when your body is in suitable condition. However my experience is that they also have the potential to be quit destructive and weakening on the body. The indian system of medicine known as ayurveda also recognises both points of view.
If you don't feel comfortable discussing your health problem on an open forum then visiting an ayurvedic doctor might be helpful. They will most likely have more knowledge then a conventional doctor when it comes to fasting and yoga related practices. |

You might want to look at this thread on diet:
http://www.aypsite.org/forum/topic....ID=9110#9110
In my opinion detox is something that should be done for a short time, then return to a good balanced diet.
On a good light diet you will continue to detox, but side effects will be much less than fasts.
Some people say brown rice fasts are bad for some types of people, and water fasts also.
That's a very complicated subject, but for those type of bodies, a high-raw diet is much better, where you eat a high amount of salad type stuff.
I am one of those people. Sometimes people feel great when they begin a fast because they were regularly eating something that they have a bad reaction to. This could be too much fat, grains (usually wheat), dairy, or other things. Some nutritional types don't survive well on brown rice even if you are not specifically allergic to it.
So IMHO it is best to find your nutritional type, then balance that with a high raw diet, and detox slowly that way. If you try it, you will know if it is right for you by the way you feel after just a few days.
Many chronic health problems will clear up in a few weeks if you eat a diet that is matched to your nutritional type, and high raw at the same time, which will detox you also.

| You could try some healing sessions with Chunyi Lin or Jim Nance. They are both very powerful healers. |
