Interesting, uh?<\/p>\n<p>Enough details.<\/p>\n<p>I rest a bit and at 5pm our loved dinner is served: juice with dragon fruit, mango, and pineapple.<br \/>\nI then have a walk up to the usual Buddha temple to get some pictures at sunset but I arrive there too late and the crowd of young travelers enjoying the last light of the day getting ready to party is not what I&#8217;m looking for in those days of seclusion from the nasty, noisy and foody world outside of the\u00a0<em>paradise on earth.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"photoswipe\" title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/lh3.ggpht.com\/-YJ2m5IIAEFg\/UxqIugZ2zhI\/AAAAAAAAHw8\/l4xYuMz6FdQ\/s0\/IMG_2793.JPG\"  rel=\"lightbox[2419] post-\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"pe2-photo aligncenter\" title=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.ggpht.com\/-YJ2m5IIAEFg\/UxqIugZ2zhI\/AAAAAAAAHw8\/l4xYuMz6FdQ\/w400-o\/IMG_2793.JPG\" alt=\"IMG_2793.JPG\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Today I finished the teapot, and I&#8217;m committed to drinking more water.<br \/>\nI start <strong>feeling a bit hungry<\/strong>, and I expect to hit the bottom (the worst moment, when the body is absorbing the bad stuff, that is what&#8217;s left after some days of fasting) tomorrow.<br \/>\nLet&#8217;s see if I can practice meditation and detach from the past and the present.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Day 4<\/h2>\n<p>When I wake up <strong>the hunger is gone<\/strong>.

I hold for a while then I start thinking what could happen if I loose control of my ass while I&#8217;m upside-down.

Or maybe just not yet!<br \/>\nIn the future, I&#8217;ll definitely try to integrate fasting in my lifestyle.
