Angelic fast for health and spiritual growth

      What is meaning of fast? Many people are constantly interested and reading articles about health care, diets, proper regime, what are the best vitamins and foods for our body, what is the best activities we can do for losing weight…and so on. Most people desire to be healthy and good looking, in nice body shape. That desire is very natural and it s inside everyone of us, because it`s connected with the cosmic principle of Purity and cleanness, as well as Transformation. We always need to be better, and that is truly amazing in the human nature. The problem starts when that “desire” for being healthy and looking beautiful, becomes an obsession. As we all know –obsessions can be many kinds and an obsession is more than “passion”, it`s actually passion “out of control”, or crooked passion. In this way we take something positive by nature and turn it to something with negative sign. Sadly humans do so for many things. That`s how many times we don’t progress, but do the opposite – regress in our way.

Here I`ll ask some very familiar and important questions. Is beautiful the obsession for being “slender” in a shape of one girl with anorexia? Is it beautiful to see as many times in modern society a fat woman with shapeless body with many creases everywhere, who put amazing big amount of lipstick, high red color nail polish and artificial long lashes? What do you see? What do you feel? Is it called beautiful a very young teenager girl with lovely face, but damaged dry, spoiled little hair on head, just because she wants to be blond and applies perhidrol? Is it beautiful a girl with nice face by nature, but with pimples and spots covered with amazing thick layer of foundation make up and whitening creams, with lip gloss, and smoking a cigarette with yellowish teeth?

No need even to give the answer – as everyone knows it. Sadly. That`s why I gave you the sight of real version, vision of distorted mirror. We create this mirrors by ourselves, be aware of that. Looking to the tv screen, to the social propaganda, to the advertising with smiling perfect faces – we create and let the whole society also to “create” them for us. We are living in one illusionary land of distorted mirrors. That’s about “ugliness”. Please understand, dear humans, only from inside you can be truly beautiful. And only inside –in your heart, inner reflections and qualities you can create and keep your inner beauty intact from the “ugliness”. Anyone has ability to choose what he likes for himself. Its so easy like that: artificial lashes – or purity, cigarettes or healthy lungs, alcohol or healthy liver, fake masks or real faces. Choose carefully.
* I went so long way now in order to point for you the main topic – about the health. Our bodies are temples of God, and of divine energy. We have all the abilities if we want, to keep them in good health. That`s all what god and angels want for us. That`s why we are obligated to keep the purity and cleanness of our body throughout all the life; moreover –we are obligated to help other people to see the light of healthy living, and understand the truth of their happiness. No one can be perfect, that`s without a doubt. But we all can just strive and do our best to be healthy persons from outside and inside. Please understand –healthy does not mean “slender”, does not mean obsessed with fitness or making big muscles, does not mean covered with artificial face or hair which is not yours. No. sorry to disappoint you –healthy means first from In-side. In order to be healthy, look lovely, have shining skin, feel happy, what do you need? Simply to first be healthy in-side of your body –your heart, lungs, liver, all organs, healthy in-side your brain, mind, cells. Then all else will follow. As my revelation from Gabriel – don’t prioritize the outer world –material things and mission, because you`ll go into redundancy. Let your priority to be the inner world –of your soul, spirit, heart –then all else will come immediately. This is the process –for humans, as well as for creating the universe(s). from inside –out. Dont think –you have everything until you don’t have connection with your real Self from inside; then you have nothing.
~ Now the angels wants you to be good, healthy and happy throughout life. They want the best for you, and you need only to choose the same. Feel yourself as a valuable person, who is much more capable of achieving all your dreams. See yourself from inside. Ask your heart – what do you love? What are your priorities in life? your principles?

~ As the angels love you so much, they have send you many times through history and in all religious practices many ways to be healthy. One of the most important ways is to be cleansed from inside. That`s what is the purpose of fast. Be aware that “fasting” is not a diet, not a “regime” for just losing weight or for nice shape. Fasting include all spiritual aspects of individual. Look to the all world religions, you`ll see the many forms and varieties of “fast”. No matter of the outer form, but fast is always connected first with connection with God and higher self. Its connection with the Soul and spirit, and then secondly is restraining from food, or special kinds of food, from drink, from intimate relations. Fast is made for exactly for this reason –cleansing of the soul, heart and spirit and second, cleansing of body. Or in other words –its made to make you healthy and strong, to be resistant on negative effects, to increase your willpower, courage, dedication, and love to God. To reveal all the good qualities inside you. Following that thread I want to lead you to the basic point in my article –the angels fast.

Angels approve your determination and always will help you to fast in your own religion and by your way. Even so there are people who don’t feel comfortable with the official religion, as they accept and feel the Church (f.e.) as institution from earth, which has not divine power. For that reason I suggest you an angelic fast –which is made as total cleansing of the spirit, and has the aim to feel more connected with the divine energy. Making a fast requires determination and willing. That’s the first very positive qualities you need to master, if you want to start. If you don’t want, you wont read this already to the end.
Angelic fasts suggest cleansing of the spirit and body, which is made every 3 months. Suggested dates are each 10. of the months –October, January, April and July. The fast is until 19. of the month and encompasses each of the four seasons. The first 5 days you should eat only fruits – one kind of fruit every day. (for example, first day you eat grapes, the second –pears, the third pumpkin …) the second 5 days you ll eat only vegetables – which can be mixed and combined. In the fast are not allowed – surely no alcohol, cigarettes and other drugs, no drinks with gas and sugar, no sugar products; no flour and wheat products, no milk and eggs products. That means most of the things the modern society is so “attached to” –like meat, bread, chocolate, cakes, wafers, drinks –are out. What remains are the truly natural products –(even if you can say they are also not natural and contain poisons, there cant be comparison.)
In the fast days you need to have higher self- discipline in order to achieve good result. You have to wake up in exact time –early in the morning –to make short prayer, to make list with priorities for the month, and follow the rhythm of exact intervals for food – as possible for your situation. Intervals of eating can be – 10 am. -12 am – 2 pm4 pm – 6 pm. These are five intervals; you can drink plenty of water and in the morning after waking up – water with lemon inside.
After the finishing of that seasonal fast you`ll feel much more lighter –not just in shape and body, but from inside, much more confident, happy and ready to go with your life-tasks. Wish you good luck and let angels always to help you!

** Bellow is the example chart of my fast for the autumn –October 2016. You can make your own with the available fruits and vegetables for your land. 

Day 1. – autumn fruits –grapes

Abide in divine Light ~

About Fast



      
          In many cultures and religions fast and fasting is obligation of the people, even if its not strictly observed, it`s recommended from the religious person (priest, imams and others). What is the essence of fast and why it is prescribed as “obligatory” in religion? Fast generally is a form of cleansing the body and soul through restrictions of body from food (or specific kind of foods), restrictions and prohibitions of some actions and deeds (sexual activity, drinking alcohol, shouting and aggressive behavior). Fast is always related to the purity and cleanness of body which is directly related to the cleanness of soul and mind. Bad thoughts and any bad feelings are also prohibited, as much as our abilities for that. During fast we not only restrain our body from material things (which is only part of the fast), but also we strive to be more and more connected with God and our thoughts should be also related to the divine universe. For this reason, during all fast, we need to observe the following rituals:
1) Prayer (every cleansing of heart is related with devoted prayer)
2) Meditation (as we said about the difference between meditation and prayer)
3) Physical cleanness (we have to observe it always, and specially in this period, opposite of some understanding in Middle ages, that body should be left without any care.)
4) Reading of Sacred texts and literature;
5) Helping people in need and people who suffer;

      So these are the 5 basic points connected with any fast. In different religions of course kind of fasting differ, but the idea is the same. Orthodox Christians have many fasts during the year. Usually their fasts are connected with major religious holidays (like Christmas and Easter), before that Christians prepare” their body and soul for the event. They restrain from milk products and some “delicious” foods, like –milk, yogurt, chocolate, ice cream, and during fast they don’t eat any kind of meat or cheese. They accept only products of nature, grains and vegetables and fruits. They can`t drink alcohol, nor to behave aggressively. There is always prohibitions on sexual activity, or even desire itself. For this reason the good believer should pray every day, visit church and light up candles for health and for close people. He also is expected to read the Holy Bible and “meditate” (deeply think) on some statement in it. To help people, specially children and elder people, and to leave the “egoistic” existence of his own body. During any fast we learn how to be more patient, more devoted, more “light”, and out of our “material body”. Thats why fast is much more than just a diet for the material body. We are simply expected to be devoted and turn to our inner self, to our soul, and auras, to make connection with our angels.

         Another kind of fast, is that of Muslim societies “Ramadan”. During this holy month, before the major festival “Eid Al Fitr”, all Muslims regardless of their age except very little children and ill, and pregnant), observe strict fast. Unlike Christians, their fast is related to total restrain from any food or water and liquids during the daylight. Then they are allowed to take any kind of foods, which are usually allowed in Islam, as they normally start their “suhur” with dates. Many of young people nowadays connect Ramadan only and extremely with food restrictions in the day and with the higher amount of food and cooked dishes in the later hours (after sunset). This is completely wrong. Ramadan, as every fast itself, is related with cleansing of body and soul together, so during this period any Muslim should obligatory make all the prayers, (even more as they are many additional), should attend collective prayers at the mosque, and also restrain from sexual life, not only during the daylight. All the thoughts and deeds should be related to God, and also help to poor people with open heart. Thats why it`s not real fast, if someone just “don’t eat food” during the day light, but do all other things like: watching not proper movies, shouting, aggressive behavior, doesn’t pray, doesn’t care for his purity of body, doesn’t care for others, doesn’t read from Holy Quran.

Of course many could say: How to do all that ,if he is usual person, he is not a priest. From the usual person is expected only this, and from priest much and much more. Meaning of fast is “restriction”, so you to train your will and your patience. If it was a pleasure, it wont be “fast” at all. So this is period of thinking about God and prayer.

    Until now we observed this short examples about fast in Christianity and Islam. We wont make long analysis about all kind of fasting, as this is not our aim. There are fasts before holidays, but also other very important fasts, which are in the column “personal”. They are related usually with lose of someone dear to us, dead of our beloved, or close family member. This fast is not obligatory, but it is very good for the soul, as it brings relief. This we make to remind ourselves that we are in the world for the reason, and that we cant control all in our life, but higher force can. This fast is giving tribute to the people we lost, as well as includes prayers for their soul and rituals. Because of the dynamic way of life in this century, this fast almost disappeared and is little observed.

       One other fast, which is also obligatory, concerns “collective consciousness”. This fast I want to underline here specially, as almost never we discuss it, or think about it. This is the fast everyone “should” make after very big natural disaster happened in any point of the world (regardless if in our country or other). And this fast is very important for our soul and for connected prayers for the souls of all victims of the disaster (like hurricane, earthquake, bomb, mass killing of people). Yes, wars are everywhere now and we listen about it every day. But for the natural disaster which is out of our control, is very important our mind to be connected. That`s why we need to observe 10 days fast for the souls who died. This fast include first day total restrain from any food (only water and tea are allowed), prayers in the holy place depending on religion of any person, lighting candles for victims, and thoughts for them. Remember that whatever happens in world, has an invisible echo to every point of world...and could come anywhere anytime in different form. Pray and make strong connection with your soul. After the 10 days of fast you will feel relieved. The more people realize that and practice that, the better will be.

     In conclusion I want to say, act of fast and fasting is not just a momentary or just religious “obligation”. It is related to very important spiritual levels of every being, and any time we fast (make restrictions) we allow cleaning of the energy inside and outside of us, so we keep the bad way in this way. Accept and understand the importance of fast, specially fast after big tragedies and natural disasters. Then you`ll be one level higher.


For the fast of the victims of the earthquake in Nepal: I start my fast from now: 28. April 2015, more than 4000 people are reported dead. I have to observe strict fast and prayer, 3 times during day.
