[@AkhilDakur]

I did take upavasa on 9/10/19 as mentioned and took salt and lemon water after next day sunrise. The results exactly same as you mentioned in the video just like water after taking 30 mins walk. Thanks a lot. Its really genuine content. I am expecting more of this quality content. God Bless You

Thank you for your explanation dadajii 🙏🙏

[@masumlover]

Thank you for the information fasting is the key

[@harryvangrieken7162]

Thank you for this wonderful presentation! I am going to do some Spring cleaning, try this fast and see if I can break some habits which no longer serve me. Namaste.

People benefit so much from fasting. I think it's funny because it's medicine, but to get it, you don't take anything. Really is one of God's many miracles!

[@bradthompson1111]

Thank you Dada 🙏🏻. I will start this month on the 11th. Namaskar 🙏🏻

[@drshr2009]

Thank you very much dada for the detailed explanation. I was able to start and continue the fast successfully with your guidance. Thanks so much!!

[@MeditationSteps]

Great! Best of luck!

[@zackmoritz]

I dry fast during the full moon and new moon

[@jaijaisun2282]

Thank you Dada for the great video. This month, the 11th day after the new moon will be in 5 days. I look forward to trying this fasting method. Namaskar

[@MeditationSteps]

I wish you joyful and easy Upavasa

[@michaelvance1838]

That liter of warm salty lemon water is delicious after a day of fasting :)

[@MeditationSteps]

:)

[@graceandglamor]

Thank you for providing the different levels of fasting. Some times when I have attempted dry fasting I’ve experienced horrible headaches. Fasting with water is not as difficult, and I may try your recommendations with fasting with fruit.

[@MeditationSteps]

Thank you, Grace. You are with meditation steps for while now, it is very nice to see you. Hope and trust that you progress gradually in your meditation practice.

[@AkhilDakur]

As you mentioned in the video there are even some asanas to get that lemon water out. So can you make a video on that? Thank You

[@SaurabhSingh-fl8tl]

During dry fasting, how to get rid of Saliva?

[@klangfarbeblau9087]

what i learned is to fast on ekadashi just for one meal, that means to just skip every meal on the day but we eat dinner. ? and we drink water. its a confunsing world

[@kaypandey7221]

Pranam Guru ji. 🙏🏻. I wanted to clarify one thing. Is it normal to feel sleepy and lethargic after breaking the fast? Because the day I fast, I feel excellent. Bit next day when I start eating again, I feel very sleepy and lethargic. Is it normal? If no, then what can I do to rectify it.

[@MeditationSteps]

Maybe you need to check the quantity of food that you eat on the day after the fast. A light breakfast of fruits and yoghurt or kitcharee (rice porridge) is recommended to ease the digestive system back into the eating process.

[@drshr2009]

Dear Dada, can you guide us on what to eat after the fast is complete.

[@MeditationSteps]

When the fasting is complete, the bowel must be cleaned with salt water and lemon. To do that, you put a liter of water (room temperature), squeeze a single lemon juice into it, add a tablespoon of salt, mix it up and drink it. Saltwater flows through the entire gastrointestinal system without absorbing and helps to empty the bowel completely. When you feel your bowel is completely emptied, you can eat a banana or other light food, preferably fruit or yogurt. You can have lunch as usual.

[@drshr2009]

@@MeditationSteps Dear Dada, I am able to continue the fasting as per your suggestion without water. The next day morning when I start eating, I feel extremely hunger and keep eating a lot, probable double my usual size. Not sure how to avoid this. Please guide me. Thanks so much for this wonderful information. Feeling so blessed.

Diabetic patients can fast??

[@MeditationSteps]

Namaskar, this is the support team🙏 For patients with diabetes, it is important to consult a doctor before deciding to fast. Depending on the stage of the disease and the individual characteristics of the patient, fasting may be recommended in certain cases, especially during remission of the disease, but caution and consultation with a specialist may be required in case of exacerbation or other complications. Best wishes, Meditation Steps🌸

[@palidebnath7996]
