Living on "light"?

Master Kosen – Published on October 11 – other-disciplines

Question

Some people fast for healing or pleasure. I have heard that others live on “light” and can do without solid and liquid nourishment. They can eat normally from time to time if they wish. What do you think?

Answer from Master Kosen

Yes, I myself went through Jasmuheen’s process, without drinking for seven days and without eating for twenty-one days. This process disconnects a certain dependence on food and the need to drink and allows one to obtain nourishment differently.
