Intermittent Moon Fasting

Intermittent moon fasting also called as Chandrayana ( cycle of the moon ) is an ancient Ayurvedic method of healing the body and mind. Moon is responsible for the energy in food as well as the strength of the mind. This unique energy and relationship of the moon with the energy in food and our minds is harnessed in this fasting to heal the body and mind.

How is Intermittent Moon fasting  practiced ?

​This moon fasting involves eating a full meal on the full moon and then gradually reducing your meal by 1/15 th till the new moon. On the new moon you fast with juices. Then we gradually increase eating by 1/15 th and eat a full meal on the full moon.

What are the other practices involved ?

Along with the fast the practitioner needs to practice yoga asanas, mudras and deep breathing so as to always keep calm, fight off hunger pangs and get the best results.

Overall Intermittent Moon Fasting is a 30-day program that starts with a full moon and a full plate of food —and, ends with a full moon and a full plate of food. Intermittent Moon Fasting is a very graduated fast that, though regulated, is gentle on the body and mind. The practices of asana, deep breathing and mudras enhance the effect of the fast.
