General​ ​Questions​ ​re:​ ​8-Day-Process

1)​ ​How​ ​should​ ​I​ ​prepare​ ​for​ ​the​ ​8DP?​ ​Should​ ​I​ ​do​ ​any​ ​cleanses​ ​or​ ​fasting before​ ​coming​ ​to​ ​the​ ​8DP?

The​ ​best​ ​way​ ​to​ ​prepare​ ​for​ ​the​ ​process​ ​is​ ​by ​practicing the techniques of the​ ​Akahi​ ​-​ ​Breatharian Method​ ​Online​ ​Video​ ​Course ( you have immediate Acces to the online course after registration).​​ ​​This​ ​course​ ​gives​ ​you​ ​lifetime​ ​24/7​ ​access​ ​to​ ​the content​ ​of​ ​the​ ​entire​ ​8​ ​Days​ ​and​ ​more​ ​-​ ​accessing​ ​the​ ​sessions/videos,​ ​ebook,​ ​and additional​ ​content​ ​of​ ​the​ ​Online​ ​Membership​ ​Program.​ ​It​ ​is​ ​a​ ​great​ ​way​ ​to​ ​introduce yourself​ ​to​ ​the​ ​amazing​ ​breathings,​ ​energy​ ​and​ ​diet​ ​of​ ​the​ ​8DP*,​ ​as​ ​well​ ​as​ ​an amazing​ ​way​ ​to​ ​provide​ ​yourself​ ​with​ ​support​ ​afterwards.

No diet change or Fasting experience is necessary prior to the retreat.

Just​ ​allow​ ​your​ ​inner​ ​guidance​ ​to​ ​prepare​ ​you​ ​in​ ​whatever​ ​way​ ​you​ ​feel!​ ​It​ ​is​ ​a *complete*​ ​process​ ​in​ ​and​ ​of​ ​itself​ ​-​ ​gently​ ​purifying​ ​the​ ​body-mind-emotion-spirit​ ​in the​ ​way​ ​that​ ​is​ ​most​ ​perfect​ ​for​ ​you.​ ​So​ ​we​ ​invite​ ​you​ ​to​ ​simply​ ​enjoy​ ​life​ ​and​ ​know that​ ​you​ ​are​ ​already​ ​ready​ ​for​ ​your​ ​8DP!

2)​ ​I​ ​have​ ​little/no​ ​experience​ ​with​ ​fasting​ ​and​ ​feel​ ​nervous​ ​about​ ​the recommended​ ​3​ ​days​ ​of​ ​"dry​ ​fasting"​ ​--​ ​is​ ​it​ ​mandatory?

This​ ​is​ ​wonderful​ ​and​ ​important​ ​question.​ ​Please​ ​know​ ​that​ ​you​ ​are​ ​*always*​ ​free​ ​to customize​ ​the​ ​process​ ​in​ ​the​ ​way​ ​that​ ​is​ ​most​ ​perfect,​ ​harmonious,​ ​and​ ​loving​ ​for yourself!
The​ ​majority​ ​of​ ​past​ ​8DP​ ​participants​ ​have​ ​done​ ​the​ ​recommended​ ​3-day​ ​"dry​ ​fast" and​ ​found​ ​it​ ​to​ ​be​ ​a​ ​most​ ​magical​ ​and​ ​rewarding​ ​experience,​ ​and​ ​surprisingly​ ​easy

with​ ​the​ ​support​ ​of​ ​the​ ​group​ ​and​ ​the​ ​*Conscious​ ​Breathing*​ ​sessions.​ ​It​ ​is​ ​a beautiful​ ​component​ ​of​ ​the​ ​8DP​ ​which​ ​can​ ​deepen​ ​the​ ​power​ ​of​ ​the​ ​Conscious Breath​ ​in​ ​purifying,​ ​calibrating,​ ​and​ ​attuning​ ​our​ ​body​ ​-​ ​mind​ ​-​ ​emotions​ ​-​ ​soul.​ ​At​ ​the same​ ​time,​ ​depending​ ​on​ ​individual​ ​circumstances,​ ​some​ ​participants​ ​have​ ​chosen to​ ​break​ ​up​ ​the​ ​consecutive​ ​dry​ ​days​ ​into​ ​three​ ​1​ ​day​ ​experiences,​ ​interspersed​ ​with water​ ​or​ ​juice​ ​days​ ​in​ ​between.​ ​Still​ ​others​ ​have​ ​chosen​ ​to​ ​replace​ ​the​ ​"dry"​ ​days with​ ​water-only​ ​(food-free)​ ​days.​ ​It​ ​is​ ​all​ ​very​ ​flexible,​ ​and​ ​Akahi​ ​is​ ​here​ ​to​ ​support you​ ​in​ ​choosing​ ​what​ ​is​ ​perfect​ ​for​ ​you.
So​ ​we​ ​invite​ ​everybody​ ​to​ ​follow​ ​inner​ ​guidance​ ​and​ ​know​ ​that​ ​the​ ​recommendation is​ ​only​ ​a​ ​template​ ​that​ ​has​ ​worked​ ​well​ ​for​ ​the​ ​majority​ ​of​ ​participants​ ​but​ ​is​ ​also highly​ ​customizable.​ ​You​ ​are​ ​always​ ​supported​ ​in​ ​creating​ ​your​ ​own​ ​perfect experience,​ ​from​ ​the​ ​place​ ​of​ ​pure​ ​love​ ​and​ ​gentleness,​ ​honoring​ ​your​ ​inner guidance​ ​at​ ​all​ ​times!

3)​ ​I​ ​already​ ​have​ ​a​ ​great​ ​deal​ ​of​ ​experience​ ​with​ ​fasting​ ​or​ ​food-free​ ​days,​ ​and would​ ​like​ ​to​ ​explore​ ​fasting​ ​for​ ​all​ ​8​ ​days​ ​during​ ​the​ ​8DP​ ​—​ ​i.e.​ ​just​ ​water​ ​and dry​ ​fast​ ​days​ ​but​ ​no​ ​juice/fruits​ ​-​ ​is​ ​that​ ​ok?

Once​ ​again,​ ​yes,​ ​we​ ​do​ ​invite​ ​you​ ​to​ ​follow​ ​your​ ​inner​ ​guidance,​ ​and​ ​please​ ​consult Akahi​ ​so​ ​that​ ​he​ ​can​ ​support​ ​you​ ​in​ ​creating​ ​the​ ​most​ ​perfect,​ ​loving,​ ​and​ ​supportive experience​ ​possible.​ ​In​ ​the​ ​past,​ ​participants​ ​have​ ​modified​ ​and​ ​customized​ ​the fasting​ ​days​ ​in​ ​a​ ​variety​ ​of​ ​ways​ ​-​ ​always​ ​with​ ​the​ ​intention​ ​of​ ​creating​ ​the​ ​most​ ​kind, loving,​ ​and​ ​healthy​ ​experience​ ​for​ ​the​ ​body-​ ​mind-emotions-spirit.

It​ ​is​ ​worth​ ​noting​ ​that,​ ​as​ ​part​ ​of​ ​the​ ​experience​ ​of​ ​recalibrating​ ​our​ ​relationship​ ​with food​ ​—​ ​the​ ​original​ ​template​ ​of​ ​the​ ​8DP​ ​gifts​ ​us​ ​with​ ​a​ ​precious​ ​opportunity​ ​to explore​ ​the​ ​beautiful​ ​flavors​ ​from​ ​the​ ​new​ ​state​ ​of​ ​pure​ ​enjoyment​ ​and​ ​non-necessity within​ ​the​ ​experience​ ​of​ ​8DP​ ​itself.​ ​By​ ​gently​ ​reintroducing​ ​small​ ​quantity​ ​of​ ​juices​ ​on Day​ ​6-7-8,​ ​we​ ​have​ ​opportunity​ ​to​ ​stabilize​ ​this​ ​new​ ​relationship​ ​with​ ​the​ ​food​ ​and flavors​ ​—​ ​sharing​ ​together​ ​with​ ​the​ ​group,​ ​creating​ ​a​ ​new​ ​set​ ​of​ ​happy​ ​memories. This​ ​prepares​ ​us​ ​for​ ​a​ ​smooth,​ ​easy,​ ​gentle​ ​re-integration​ ​back​ ​to​ ​the​ ​“outside” world.​ ​We​ ​can​ ​feel​ ​empowered​ ​to​ ​bring​ ​our​ ​new​ ​state​ ​of​ ​consciousness​ ​-​ ​the​ ​state​ ​of joy*,​ ​fun*,​ ​freedom*,​ ​and​ ​non-necessity*​ ​into​ ​everyday​ ​social​ ​life.​ ​In​ ​this​ ​way​ ​we​ ​can harmonize​ ​with​ ​social​ ​situations​ ​around​ ​the​ ​food​ ​in​ ​a​ ​smooth,​ ​skillful,​ ​and​ ​loving​ ​way. This​ ​is​ ​an​ ​important​ ​aspect​ ​of​ ​the​ ​8DP’s​ ​template​ ​that​ ​we​ ​invite​ ​you​ ​to​ ​consider​ ​as well.

4)​ ​I​ ​have​ ​a​ ​<insert​ ​health​ ​condition>​ ​.​ ​Will​ ​the​ ​8DP​ ​heal​ ​my​ ​condition?

As​ ​we​ ​are​ ​sure​ ​you​ ​can​ ​understand,​ ​the​ ​8DP​ ​does​ ​not​ ​make​ ​any​ ​medical​ ​claims,​ ​for obvious​ ​reasons​ ​of​ ​liability,​ ​and​ ​also​ ​because​ ​none​ ​of​ ​us​ ​can​ ​ever​ ​fully​ ​understand the​ ​perfection​ ​of​ ​the​ ​universe,​ ​or​ ​the​ ​divine​ ​timing​ ​of​ ​events​ ​and​ ​circumstances​ ​in​ ​our lives.​ ​With​ ​that​ ​said,​ ​we​ ​also​ ​recognize​ ​that​ ​the​ ​8DP​ ​is​ ​a​ ​beautiful​ ​process​ ​of

purification​ ​and​ ​alignment​ ​of​ ​body-mind-emotions-soul,​ ​an​ ​opportunity​ ​for​ ​each​ ​of​ ​us to​ ​drop​ ​deeply​ ​within​ ​to​ ​know​ ​ourselves​ ​more​ ​intimately,​ ​to​ ​love​ ​ourselves​ ​more​ ​fully than​ ​ever​ ​before.​ ​We​ ​have​ ​the​ ​opportunity​ ​to​ ​purify​ ​all​ ​levels​ ​of​ ​our​ ​being,​ ​and​ ​let​ ​go of​ ​any​ ​uncomfortable​ ​information​ ​which​ ​we​ ​no​ ​longer​ ​need​ ​for​ ​our​ ​highest​ ​good, allowing​ ​the​ ​love​ ​and​ ​prana​ ​to​ ​flow​ ​freely​ ​in​ ​our​ ​lives​ ​once​ ​again,​ ​returning​ ​to​ ​our natural​ ​state​ ​of​ ​joy​ ​and​ ​vibrant​ ​health!

So​ ​as​ ​a​ ​side-effect​ ​of​ ​this​ ​beautiful​ ​alignment​ ​process,​ ​many​ ​participants​ ​have experienced​ ​profound​ ​healings​ ​and​ ​transformations​ ​on​ ​all​ ​levels.​ ​While​ ​there​ ​are​ ​no guarantees,​ ​it​ ​is​ ​wonderful​ ​to​ ​bring​ ​a​ ​pure​ ​and​ ​sincere​ ​intention​ ​to​ ​your​ ​process,​ ​to use​ ​the​ ​8DP​ ​as​ ​opportunity​ ​to​ ​let​ ​go​ ​of​ ​any​ ​uncomfortable​ ​information​ ​or​ ​conditions that​ ​no​ ​longer​ ​serve,​ ​and​ ​allow​ ​the​ ​process​ ​to​ ​support​ ​you​ ​in​ ​recalibrating​ ​into​ ​your natural​ ​state​ ​of​ ​peace,​ ​health,​ ​joy,​ ​and​ ​harmony​ ​in​ ​all​ ​aspects​ ​of​ ​life!

5)​ ​After​ ​the​ ​8DP,​ ​is​ ​it​ ​guaranteed​ ​that​ ​I​ ​will​ ​stop​ ​eating?​ ​or​ ​will​ ​I​ ​become liquidarian?​ ​or​ ​just​ ​drink​ ​water?​ ​Do​ ​you​ ​eat?​ ​how​ ​many​ ​calories​ ​a​ ​day​ ​would you​ ​eat​ ​if​ ​you​ ​eat​ ​anything?

This​ ​is​ ​a​ ​popular​ ​question​ ​about​ ​the​ ​eating/not-eating,​ ​and​ ​so​ ​seems​ ​to​ ​be​ ​an important​ ​one​ ​to​ ​clarify.
First,​ ​we​ ​invite​ ​all​ ​to​ ​recognize​ ​that​ ​8DP​ ​is​ ​not​ ​a​ ​process​ ​to​ ​“stop​ ​eating”.​ ​So​ ​it​ ​is recommended​ ​not​ ​to​ ​come​ ​to​ ​the​ ​process​ ​with​ ​this​ ​as​ ​your​ ​primary​ ​intention.​ ​The 8DP​ ​is​ ​a​ ​profound​ ​alignment​ ​process​ ​for​ ​mind-body-emotion-soul,​ ​a​ ​chance​ ​to​ ​let​ ​go of​ ​uncomfortable​ ​information​ ​or​ ​limitations,​ ​to​ ​gently​ ​open​ ​ourselves​ ​to​ ​new possibilities​ ​and​ ​infinite​ ​gifts!​ ​When​ ​we​ ​focus​ ​our​ ​attention​ ​on​ ​the​ ​food​ ​aspect,​ ​we limit​ ​our​ ​perception​ ​of​ ​the​ ​countless​ ​other​ ​gifts​ ​the​ ​universe​ ​has​ ​in​ ​store​ ​for​ ​each​ ​of us,​ ​which​ ​may​ ​be​ ​far​ ​more​ ​important​ ​or​ ​significant!​ ​So​ ​to​ ​be​ ​clear​ ​-​ ​the​ ​8DP​ ​is​ ​not​ ​a process​ ​to​ ​stop​ ​eating,​ ​but​ ​rather​ ​an​ ​opportunity​ ​to​ ​deepen​ ​the​ ​flow​ ​of​ ​love*,​ ​peace*, and​ ​joy*​ ​within​ ​our​ ​lives,​ ​to​ ​(re)awaken​ ​our​ ​intimate​ ​relationship​ ​with​ ​the​ ​Prana*, returning​ ​to​ ​our​ ​most​ ​natural​ ​and​ ​harmonious​ ​state.

As​ ​a​ ​side-effect,​ ​many​ ​beings​ ​experience​ ​a​ ​dramatic​ ​decrease​ ​or​ ​complete disappearance​ ​of​ ​physical​ ​hunger.​ ​In​ ​a​ ​way,​ ​to​ ​be​ ​a​ ​breatharian​ ​and​ ​"not​ ​eat"​ ​is​ ​also a​ ​kind​ ​of​ ​diet,​ ​a​ ​rigidity,​ ​whereas​ ​the​ ​Pranic​ ​Consciousness​ ​is​ ​a​ ​state​ ​of​ ​joy​ ​and freedom​ ​to​ ​choose​ ​what​ ​is​ ​most​ ​perfect,​ ​harmonious,​ ​and​ ​loving​ ​in​ ​each​ ​moment​ ​-- breath​ ​by​ ​breath,​ ​moment​ ​by​ ​moment.
So​ ​from​ ​this​ ​consciousness,​ ​we​ ​can​ ​relate​ ​to​ ​*all*​ ​things,​ ​including​ ​the​ ​food,​ ​with pure​ ​joy​ ​and​ ​freedom​ ​-​ ​to​ ​know​ ​that​ ​we​ ​can​ ​eat,​ ​and​ ​we​ ​can​ ​not​ ​eat.​ ​Yes​ ​-​ ​we​ ​have​ ​a choice​ ​now!​ ​We​ ​can​ ​choose​ ​to​ ​enjoy​ ​food​ ​in​ ​the​ ​state​ ​of​ ​pure​ ​delight​ ​and mindfulness,​ ​no​ ​longer​ ​from​ ​the​ ​place​ ​of​ ​necessity​ ​or​ ​survival.​ ​While​ ​everybody​ ​has a​ ​different​ ​experience​ ​with​ ​the​ ​8DP,​ ​many​ ​people​ ​find​ ​the​ ​eating​ ​or​ ​not​ ​eating becomes​ ​more-or-less​ ​irrelevant.​ ​The​ ​mind​ ​is​ ​not​ ​concerned​ ​with​ ​it,​ ​so​ ​it​ ​has​ ​freed up​ ​so​ ​much​ ​time​ ​and​ ​energy​ ​for​ ​much​ ​more​ ​fun​ ​and​ ​creative​ ​things!

There​ ​are​ ​now​ ​thousands​ ​of​ ​us​ ​who​ ​have​ ​lived​ ​the​ ​8DP​ ​by​ ​now​ ​—​ ​inviting​ ​you​ ​to explore​ ​Youtube​ ​videos​ ​on​ ​Akahi’s​ ​youtube​ ​channel,​ ​and​ ​see​ ​the​ ​tremendous diversity​ ​of​ ​beautiful​ ​testimonials​ ​and​ ​experiences​ ​shared​ ​by​ ​this​ ​growing​ ​world-wide pranic​ ​community!
