Am discovering that fasting is not only for physical health but emotional and mental wellbeing too. The lightness of mind as well as body can be transformational. Cleansing the body also cleanses the mind, shifting out the old to clear space and make room for the new. Our minds become more open when we fast, especially if it is for a day or more, which is probably why most religions in the world include some form of fasting to connect with a ‘higher power’ or consciousness. Have you had any experience of this? One of the (many) things I love about the fasting clinic @buchingerwilhelmi on the shores of Lake Constance in Germany, where I have been interviewing their medics and exploring fasting, is their emphasis on connecting with nature to balance and rejuvenate the mind. As former MD Raimund Wilhelmi says “fasting for me is - from exhaustion to creation”. I’ve learnt a lot of wisdom here - and will be sharing this across the pages of @lizearlewellbeing magazine soon. Be sure to subscribe as my magazine is not available in the shops. Many congratulations to Buchinger Wilhelmi on winning Best Wellness Retreat in Germany 2022 at the World Spa Awards, announced this week! 🏆Thank you for having me and for so generously sharing your knowledge. Wishing everyone a happy Friday and peaceful weekend ahead 💕🌿LX #fridayfeels #fridayfasting #fastingfriday #wellbeingwisdom #lizearle #lizearlewellbeingmagazine
