Fasting Meditation Retreat Q&A
FGH recently received these questions about the Cealo Fasting Meditation retreat. In anticipation that others may also have similar questions, we thought we would share this volunteer’s response. However, please keep in mind that everyone’s experience is uniquely one’s own experience.
I've never fasted before. Do I need to do something ahead of time? Will I feel unwell?
Who do I contact for more information on the Chicago events?

Thank you for the questions.
I
thought I'd share with you my experience at the last fasting retreat with Cealo, approximately four years ago in
For
me the retreat was a wonderful learning experience about the body. I watched
the ebb and flow of "feeling hungry." Funny enough, by Sunday, those
feelings had really subsided. I felt like I could go on fasting for several
more days. Going through this with other people was also a great experience
and good support. Cealo encouraged us to just watch,
laugh and move on.
It
really put a different perspective on food and the body for me. The presence
of "the observer" was so clear.
Cealo had a couple meditations a day. So, there was
plenty of free time to relax and consider "Who is your True Self?"
which was the question Cealo posed to us the first
day. I had never really pondered that idea. So, it was also a spirit journey
into Self for me.
Cealo would take questions before the meditations.
I
have not fasted since that time. I have signed up for this program. I have also
been volunteering for the FGH for several years. One thing that I have learned,
you can't judge the future based on the past. So, what Cealo
has in store for this retreat, I can't say other than fasting and meditating.
But, I am sure it will be a beautiful journey. He and Amica
are just wonderful, heart-centered, loving, caring and "tuned in"
beings and master meditators. I really view this as
a rare opportunity and am honored to attend.
Jennifer J.,
The
therapies look fabulous. Is there time during the weekend to do all of them
