Testimony ~ 72 Hour Water Fast

After 72 hours of a self induced water fast (I got a migraine on Wednesday and couldn’t keep food down), I surrendered to the call of my body.

After breaking my fast I feel incredibly grateful, abundant and I’m actually excited for the new me. I FEEL anew, but also grounded in Body. Mind. Spirit.

I struggled with a headache and nausea day two and constant saliva production. As soon as 48 hours clicked over it disappeared like magic. That confirmed “my body is healing.”

I had a fundamental shift spiritually. Shifting from old energies to new.

I needed to cocoon for the first 48 hours, so I honoured that.

Once day 3 hit I began to feel more anew, excited to see what unfolds in this future me. My energy was surging. I stayed in bed longer, but still woke up with the sun. What made me get out of bed despite my grogginess was my body said “move on your yoga mat” once I released some facia and stretched my energy increased.

I walked on beach and swam in the cold ocean. My body was craving the cold. It was pure delight. The rest of the day easily unfolded. Flowed even!

My first break fast meal was simple and delightful.

The cooking was ceremonial. I took a moment to appreciate my breaking fast meal. I said a prayer of thanks.

Ended the day with a sunset walk.

Things feel right and powerful. I feel embodied & whole. There’s so much potential in this space. There is so much more expansion. With emptiness comes power and new energy 💫

P.S. I’m so appreciative of this supportive community. I only found Cate’s work a month ago (via Witches Cancer Journal) and all the Primal habits and ways of living deeply resonates. I didn’t have to change too much about my lifestyle and making small adjustments to increase my wellness (in particular IF - absolute game changer. With a predominantly Vatta constitution I’m relieved I don’t ‘have to’ eat 3 meals a day!).

So grateful for your work
