The Mind-Body Challenge of Fasting
Fasting is increasingly popular for health benefits—metabolic, cognitive, and cellular. But it's not just a physical practice. Fasting surfaces emotions, triggers habits, and challenges your relationship with food. Many people can handle the physical hunger but struggle with the emotional aspects—boredom, stress eating urges, or the discomfort of breaking routine.
Tapping can support fasting by addressing both the physical sensations and the emotional triggers. When you feel like giving up, when cravings hit, when irritability rises—tapping provides a tool to work through these moments without abandoning your fast. It's like having a support system for the challenging parts.
Session for every phase: Pre-fast preparation, managing physical struggles, managing emotional struggles, breaking your fast with intention, and supporting sleep during fasting. Use the sessions that match where you are.
How to Use These Sessions
Before Your Fast
Use the "Getting Centered and Ready" session before you begin. It helps set intention, calm pre-fast anxiety, and mentally prepare for the journey ahead.
During Your Fast
Physical symptoms: When you hit a wall—headaches, low energy, irritability—the physical symptoms session helps you tap through the discomfort without giving up. Emotional triggers: Fasting often surfaces emotional eating patterns. When you want to eat from boredom, stress, or habit rather than hunger, the emotional session helps you work through those urges. Sleep difficulties: Some people find fasting affects their sleep. The sleep support session addresses this specific challenge.
Breaking Your Fast
How you end your fast matters. The "Breaking Your Fast with Intention" session helps you approach re-feeding mindfully—feeling your body's actual hunger rather than reactive urgency, eating slowly and intentionally.
Fast With Support
Sessions for every stage of your fasting practice.
