Therapeutic Fasting | Experience

Dear world 🌍 –

We would now like to tell you about our final stage of our therapeutic fasting action and we would look forward to an exchange with you in the comments . . .

Fasting is an exciting phenomenon – a kind of threshold to something
. . . new

A kind of liminal space, as Victor Turner, and famos ethnologist
would call it:
This liminal space is a kind of threshold state in which communities or individuals find themselves after they have broken away from a previous order through a ritual.

Our experience was very exciting! It was very inspiring to understand that it is OK to be slow and TO BE, what we so often forget in everyday life . . .

A pleasant calm has spread which was very valuable!

Nevertheless, our bodies all reacted differently! We felt various ups and downs (physically but also mentally)! We were driven by sport and a high engergy level but also kept by the calm. We found time to relax your body and mind!

The energy came suddenly – but as fast as she came – she also was gone! It has released deeper control over the mind and body.
Now we try to take care to give the previous normality more thoughtful space!

Stay healthy,

Yours,

ZeBa

TIME

How is time defined nowadays? Is the fast pace gone? Is slow working, slow living and slow food taking over the Italian households?

WHAT DO PEOPLE DO WITH ALL THE EXTRA TIME THEY GAINED?

Do we have extra time now or not? Is there more time to think,
to sleep, to be, to make things we always wanted to do? Or is there
too much time that needs to be killed? A waiting for better times?
Or is this situation acutally very time consuming?

We can only talk about our experience. We should have more time, but the days are passing as fast as before. The weather is determining more then ever how we feel and act. Unmotivated or full of energy.
We have many small projects, work to finish, new work to start.
Quality time with our community, – like we never had before . . .

After easter, we plan to make a therapeutic fasting – finally there is the
TIME to do that. They say for a 5 day long diet, you should take holidays, – stay at home. Perfect! Take time to relax, to move a little and have someone along with you. We will report on that the following week and we would be curious to hear about your time
struggle and experiences.

Keep your rythm.

Yours, ZeBa

social –––––––……….. distancing

This very unhuman action is OUR challenge to reduce infections.

But paradoxically, we need to have much closer contact with our loved ones during this time to prevent loneliness. How can we do this without being able to hug each other?

SEND LOVE, SHARE THOUGHTS

Safety and Health Magazin has generated a list of tips for you: “COVID-19 pandemic: Tips to remain ‘sane and safe’ during social distancing”, March 18, 2020 // https://www.safetyandhealthmagazine.com/articles/19578-covid-19-pandemic-tips-to-remain-sane-and-safe-during-social-distancing

Are there any other positive effects of social distancing besides stopping the virus?

We think YES. It’s not bad if everyone slows down a little. But we also know, that dealing with yourself is not always easy. If you manage though, you might love it! 😉

We also came across an article today that shows some positive impacts about social distancing in big cities:

How can we foster change?

Studies show, that in some regions the abrupt stop of our activities lead to a quick recovery of nature. We have to say that this is a state – we, as eco social designers, dreamed of. Just not under those circumstances.

But that’s where we are now. What can we do with it?

Our concern is, that everything will go back to „normality“ when we mastered the crisis. But we think that if we can make a change now, we can be better prepared for the future, with all the new challenges that might come.

Can we foster a change?

A few articles we find worth reading dealing with the environmental change:
