Have you ever scrolled through old photos and felt amazed at how beautiful, fit or healthy you were, yet at that moment, you couldn’t see it?

So, Hubby and I recently did a 3-day water fast. Yup…it’s exactly as it sounds. Pretty much just water for 3 days. For quite some time, I've been interested in the practice of fasting. Not the intermittent kind (IF) that's often associated with weight loss, but a true day-over-day fast. Although I have strong reservations about fasting for weight-related reasons, I've always been an enthusiastic advocate of its health and spiritual benefits. This has only been from an academic standpoint….until now.

I chose the day of a once-in-a-lifetime new moon total solar eclipse as the perfect backdrop to challenge my body and nourish my spirit. The cosmic energy seemed to provide the perfect environment for this experiment. I haven’t stepped on a scale in years, so I have no idea if I lost weight. My focus was on the journey itself.

Here's what I discovered and learned along the way:

And after hiring a Coach, competing for 5 years and turning pro, becoming a Trainer, owning a gym, studying nutrition, martial arts and yoga, I learned that and so much more. I didn’t know it would send me on a spiritual journey. I didn’t know it would be the start of my feminine journey. I didn’t know it would be the portal to living in the frequency of my Highest Self.

Because as we are coming into power, as we are leveling up as we're succeeding, as we're excelling, as we are of obtaining this power, I don't find that we are having the commiserate conversations about, about respecting that power, replenishing, that power, how to manage that power. Historically power has not belonged to us. It belonged to a different group of people who looked a lot different than us, you know, white men. So, for women as we've been coming up through the ranks, obtaining power and getting there, but the being there holds a lot of lessons for us that we have been slow in learning.

Giving purpose to your body…
