I had something like that happen to me, just out of the blue. I did that at work once and my co worker was shocked because I am one not to show personal emotion as crying at work openingly unless I am really hurt.

It just hit me. I wasn't thinking about anything particular because I was working, I guess that is what shocked me. It was really unwarranted.

All I can figure out is that as I was fasting (and it was a long fast ) my emotional state and mental state was releasing something pent up in my inner mind that I hadn't released yet. After I was done, I felt great, if not a bit achy but I felt a bit more unburdened for some reason.

It was almost like my body needed me to cry and I didn't really know that reason why. So I don't think there was anything wrong with it even though I don't know why I did it.

I know that most of the time my body knows more then I do, so I just go with the flow.

emotional detox, pretty common. the reason most people fail at fasting, emotions get to be too much and they need something to make themselves feel better. so they eat.

I just looked back at this post when responding to
Sacristia. Interestingly enough, prior post indicates
yes. It does happen during the fast.

After several 3-5 day juice fasts and reading on many sites the wonderful benefits of juice fasting for 30 days, I decided to embark on that adventure. The various sites something happens at the third week that doesn't happen earlier.

Well, I am going along my merry way walking into my home office and I suddenly started shaking very hard, I knelled down on the floor and just started sobbing out of nowhere. This went on for about 15 minutes and then it instantly stopped. I felt a bit dazed afterward and searched on the internet for this being mentioned during fasting but found very little about it.

It was definitely emotional/spiritual detox and because of that experience that's why I say that I began fasting for vanity/health reasons but the most lasting effects were those that happened emotionally/spiritually.

Supposedly, 10 days on water is equivilant to 30 days on juice. I'm on day 5 of this current Water Fast and all is going well. I'm actually surprised that I have very little white tongue or bad breath symptoms but I chalk that up to the previous fasts detoxing my body and eating healthy, juicing the other times.

Thank you everyone. Your posts were all very helpful, and I am very thankful for you guys sharing your experiences with me. Blessed Be.
