Fasting Expands Consciousness is the first book that explores the psychological aspects of fasting. Bilka Baloh describes how to heal your body and spirit on all levels, from the subconscious to the superconscious, where the roles of fasting, meditation, and yoga are imminent and essential. She takes the reader through the history of cleansing the body, mind, and spirit, from Ayurveda to the first Essene philosophers, with a clear explanation of her knowledge, supported by the latest scientific research.
This book reminds us that the mind plays a primary role in how our body gets sick. If we accumulate toxicity in the form of emotional wounds, sadness, frustrations, disappointments, or false beliefs, our mental and emotional lives are in danger. And this has a significant impact on our physical well-being and the toxicity of our bodies. Therapeutic fasting takes place on all three levels, physical, emotional-mental, and spiritual.
Therapeutic fasting is a pre-prepared plan to get rid of toxins healthily, with as little stress and pain as possible. Fasting is a spiritual journey and a journey to oneself. Saints, sages, scientists, and philosophers have already talked about fasting. It is also increasingly popular among doctors. It is considered the best medicine that strengthens the immune system, improves physical and mental stability, and consequently helps us become stronger in health.
Cleansing the body is the basis for mental health stability and is the first pillar for building the desired life without disease and pain. Fasting enhances vitality and spiritual progress and eliminates old, unhelpful, and harmful thought patterns.
