The 90-Day Fasting Discipline of an Ascetic Who Abstains from Food

an inediate (non-eating) body is a gradual, three-year process that systematically transforms physical dietary habits and mental consciousness . Physically, practitioners progress through a four-stage dietary refinement (eliminating meat, fish, and vegetables down to brown rice) while progressively lengthening intervals between meals . To replace caloric nourishment, they cultivate methods to absorb natural vital energy ("Qi") through deep breathing, sunbathing, earthing, cold water purifications, and fire rituals , eventually subsisting on trace liquids like brown rice water (omoyu) totaling around 50 kcal daily . Psychologically, success requires eliminating the subconscious fear of starvation, quieting excessive mental chatter to remain anchored in the present moment, and practicing deep gratitude . Strict precautions must be observed: abrupt fasting without expert guidance is dangerous , and gradual recovery meals (kaifukushoku) are critical when ending a fast to prevent severe digestive damage . Ultimately, non-eating serves as a spiritual discipline to rest the digestive organs, sharpen human perception, achieve enlightenment, and realize complete inner freedom ."Disclaimer: This video is based on information from medical professionals.
