Hello everyone! I'm Carlos and I want to share with you my transformation journey through fasting. At the age of 35 (year 2018), after facing a series of personal, economic, and health challenges, I realized that I needed a radical change in my life. I felt weak, disoriented, and disconnected, without motivation or clarity about my path. After a decade of marriage, my reflection in the mirror was no longer familiar to me.
I decided to embark on a journey of self-discovery and transformation. For six months before my first extended fast, I immersed myself in the study of philosophy, psychology, and the spiritual teachings of various traditions and ancient texts. These books shared common points, emphasizing the importance of disconnecting from food to heal the spirit, mind, and body. Fasting meant for me to stop seeing, hearing, feeling, or tasting anything that was not already selected by me, such as reading, listening, and watching information that made me more aware, intelligent, and ready for new challenges, as well as foods that made my body more efficient in muscle building and reused my body fat as energy while healing and immunizing myself. I also avoided blocking music, narration, words, and conversations that influenced my emotions either negatively or positively, as well as my own words, avoiding any that could generate an energetic change in the beings around me and, if doing so, doing it positively if possible.
I incorporated fasting as part of my weekly routine, despite my hectic schedule as an entrepreneur. My business absorbed practically all my time and energy, but I found a way to balance my professional life with my personal quest for well-being.
I spent hours studying nutrition and designing an exercise plan that suited my needs and time limitations. I learned to identify the most efficient foods for my body and to optimize my workouts to achieve the best results in the shortest time possible.
On Sundays, the most stressful days for my business, I discovered that fasting in this way cleared my mind and brought a sense of calm and clarity. This weekly fasting practice became a fundamental pillar of my transformation process.
By this time, I had not only recovered, I had surpassed limits I thought I had. I began to develop physical and mental capabilities, and my weight had increased to 196 lbs when I decided to let go in gratitude for all that I had received, as well as to open the door to an unknown dimension that I was going to explore.
After six months of dedication, I decided to take a step further and undergo a final fast of eight days. With meticulous physical and mental preparation, I experienced a profound transformation. During those fasting days, I immersed myself in meditation and reflection, observing how my body and mind were renewed, as if undergoing a rebirth.
At the end of the fast, I was surprised to discover that I had lost almost 30 pounds, but I had gained mental clarity and inner strength that I had never experienced before. The day before breaking the fast, I went to train with the surprise that I had only lost 10% of my maximum strength. This experience taught me that fasting is not only about healing but also about liberating oneself from fears, anxieties, and self-imposed limitations.
At this moment, at 36 years old, my life changed. I understood my value and strength as a human being with an incredible capacity for regeneration, as well as the value of other human beings and living beings, entering a state of gratitude and peace that I cannot find the words to express.
Today 2024 at my 41 , I share my experience through my company Strong Beings and continue my journey of growth and learning. I invite all those who seek healing, development, and reaching their best version to join me on this journey of self-discovery with humility and love for themselves and others.
