1010: Fasting? + Over 50

Christ Conscious Fasting

Is it a coincidence - or is it synchronicity? - that this episode on fasting falls right at the holidays!!

Fasting is more than a discipline—it’s a doorway to consciousness. It’s a way to align with the divine mind, stepping into the love, wisdom, and spiritual awareness that Christ modeled. By setting aside the physical, fasting clears the path to the spiritual, sharpening our clarity and attuning our heart’s ears to God’s voice.

In Matthew 4, we see Jesus step into this sacred space:
"Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted. After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. The tempter came to him and said, ‘If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.’”

Forty days—symbolic of testing, preparation, and fulfillment. It’s a number woven into the seam of Scripture, from the floodwaters of Noah to the desert wanderings of Israel. For Jesus, those forty days in the wilderness were refining, a time to strip away distractions and stand in His identity and mission.

Fasting wasn’t just about going without food—it was about leaning into the fullness of the Absolute. With each passing day, Jesus demonstrated what it means to trust his inner guide, to reject the false fuel, and to draw strength from a source far greater than the physical. In the wilderness, hunger became His teacher, and fasting became His pathway, forging a connection to the divine in purpose and direction.

This week, we explore the purpose, practices, and benefits of Christ Conscious fasting. Click here to watch.

Over 50?

I’m starting a new playlist on the YouTube channel for those of us over 50. It’s more than just loving life at 50+ - it’s about enjoying the next 50 years.
