A Deep Dialogue with the Self
《斷食：與自我的深度對話》
The Essence of Fasting
斷食的本質
Fasting is not just a challenge for the body, but a deep conversation with the self. In this era of constant temptation and rapid consumption, we often forget the true meaning of food. It is not merely a tool to satisfy our physical needs, but a source that nourishes the soul and maintains health.
斷食的本質 斷食，不僅是對身體的挑戰，更是一場與自我的深度對話。在這個充滿誘惑和快速消費的時代，我們常忘記了食物的真正意義。它不只是滿足生理需求的工具，更是滋養心靈、維護健康的源泉。
The Meaning of Fasting
斷食的意義
When we fast, we are not simply refusing food, but giving our body a time for rest and reset. This blank period not only allows the digestive system to rest but also makes our mind clearer and consciousness more acute. Fasting teaches us that food need not be the focus of life; true freedom lies in controlling desires, pursuing moderation, and finding inner peace.
當我們進行斷食時，並非只是單純地拒絕食物，而是給予身體一段休息與重啟的時間。這段空白不僅讓消化系統得到休養，也讓我們的心靈更加清晰，意識更為敏銳。斷食教導我們，食物不必成為生活的焦點，真正的自由在於控制慾望、追求節制和內心的平靜。
Return and Gratitude
回歸與感恩
Fasting is not just about refusal, but about return—returning to listen to our body, returning to gratitude for life. In this process, we gradually understand that true abundance lies not in excessive external possession, but in internal simplicity and harmony. When we reduce material dependence, our spirit naturally gains more space to experience what truly matters in life.
斷食不只是拒絕，更是回歸——回歸對身體的聆聽，回歸對生命的感恩。在這個過程中，我們漸漸明白，真正的豐盛不在於外在的過度擁有，而在於內在的簡單與和諧。當我們減少物質的依賴，心靈自然獲得更多空間，去體會生命中真正重要的事物。
Following Nature
順應自然
Fasting is a form of power, and this power comes not from resistance but from following—following the rhythm of nature, following the needs of the body, following the call of the spirit. We need not indulge in excess, need not consume endlessly; we only need to find infinity within limits, and experience abundance in simplicity.
斷食是一種力量，這股力量不來自抗拒，而來自順應——順應自然的節奏，順應身體的需求，順應心靈的呼喚。我們無需暴飲暴食，無需無止盡地消耗，只需在有限中尋找無限，在簡單中體悟豐盈。
Ultimate Goal
終極目標
In each fast, let us learn respect and gratitude, learn balance and moderation, and ultimately, learn to live in peace with ourselves.
在每一次的斷食中，讓我們學會尊重與感恩，學會平衡與節制，最終，學會與自己和平共處。

Third Stage
24-48 hours
Activates autophagy, body begins clearing unnecessary cellular components, preparing for renewal and regeneration.
啟動細胞自噬機制，身體開始清理老化和損壞的細胞組件，為細胞更新做準備。
Fourth Stage
48-72 hours
Growth hormone increases, insulin sensitivity improves, immune system begins regeneration.

REMINDERS
重要提醒
Before starting water fasting, please consult healthcare professionals. Certain groups (such as pregnant women, chronic disease patients) are not suitable for long-term fasting. Also, when ending the fast, careful gradual resumption of eating is necessary to ensure the body can safely adapt.
