Living on Light - The Source of Nourishment for the New Millennium Paperback – January 1, 1998

4.3 out of 5 stars 53

The book "Living on Light" offers the possibility and maintained by the Universal Life Force also called Prana. Some saints and sages have done this before, but now the time has come, when everyone can do this for themselves. The Australian author Jasmuheen has not eaten any food for 5 years. This book describes how this came to her and a special 21-day process to convert the body to the new way of being sustained. It explains in details from a metaphysical view, how the body works and methods for selfhealing, regeneration and rejuvenation. Breatharians get nourished from the purest source, the Universal Life Force which contains all bodily needs. It is not necessary to have a certain religion or belief system to do the process. The process is at least a way to listen and connect with the inner voice.

People who have undergone this 21-day process have increased their health and life quality tremendously. They are more connceted to the Power within, and can heal emotional pain from childhood. People facilitating energy-work have stated, more clarity comes with this process and enhances their work. The energy level gets much higher because there is no waste of energy from digestion. Most people report, they reqire much less sleep.

There are so many benefits to be free from the addiction of food, personal and also from a global view and this can become a revolutionary form of nourishment for the new millennium. If someone has gone through the process and can maintaining non-eating, they can choose to eat for pleasure. This book is transformational in it's content, not so much about eating or not.

Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.

As mentioned, while I have never been guided to physically help others undergo this 21-day process, due to the continual interest being expressed in being able to be sustained purely from the etheric realms and no longer eat, I am guided to offer as much information as possible However I personally feel that if you need to ask anyone if this journey is for you, you are not ready. Seek only the confirmation from the Inner Teacher. If you do not have clear inner guidance, you are not ready.

The following 21-day process is for individuals who have a deep 'knowing' it is for them. It is for people already connected with the voice of intuition. The process will strengthen this connection. I recommend that it be approached as a Sacred Initiation: Dedicate this journey to merging with the God within so that the Divine may be fully expressed through your four-body system and sustain you by Her/His Light. This is the path of the goddess and the warrior. A time of solitude. A time of knowing that while you physically take this journey alone, you are not alone. For under the ascension paradigm you will call to y our presence the energies of the Ascended Ones to work with the Inner Teacher and many gifts will be given and much learning gained if you allow it.

Some of the people I meet during my travels ask if they can continue to work or socialize during the 21-day process. Those who are ready are aware that it is a time of honoring. They understanding the power of this initiation. Such an idea would not even occur to them.

I have watched many undergo this process and then return to eating. The reasons for this are varied. Sometimes it is because they give in to social pressures a subject we will return to at the end of this book. Sometimes it is because they were originally drawn to undergo this journey to lose weight which is not an adequate motivation.

Before attempting the 21-day process, become aware of what is motivating you. Do the questionnaire. In essence this is a high level esoteric initiation.
It is not about eating or not eating.
It is primarily about the aligning of the energies of the I AM Presence. The fact that one no longer has to eat is simply a by-product of this initiation
. The information in the next chapter is quoted verbatim from booklets issued by Charmaine Harley in Adelaide, South Australia. Charmaine and others were instrumental in acting as both care-givers and clear-givers to many since they themselves underwent the process in 1994.

In a recent conversation with Charmaine she said that, as with everything, it is important to use individual discernment. It is not imperative to have a care-giver or clear-giver but she feels it can be helpful. Charmaine is no longer personally involved in overseeing the 21-day process.

Again I personally feel that if you feel the need for a clear-giver, you are not ready. You must know. The only one who can advise you is yourself. If you are a tuned instrument then you will not suffer confusion during this process. If you have enough mind mastery and have prepared your bodies, you will not get weak or drained.

It is important to recognize and eliminate limiting beliefs. If you expect to lose weight you will. You need to reprogram the body to stabilize weight at the perfect level to demonstrate and express the essence of the I AM, fully merged into physical reality. Reprogramming before you start is much easier than losing lots of weight and then trying to regain the weight through the power of intention or through reverting to eating.

It is my recommendation that you prepare the body in an honoring way to guarantee ease and pleasure in this transition process. Some individuals go out to restaurants for breakfast, lunch and dinner for weeks before, enjoying their fill of all that they love to eat, feeling it will be their last meal. Then when they do the 21-day process they suffer great discomfort through release of toxicity etc.

We recommend a gradual elimination of red meat, then white meat, then to go to raw foods, then soups and liquids and then begin the 21 days with a clean and tuned system. How long it takes to go from meat to raw foods and then liquids is up to each individual. Do it in a way that gives joy and comfort. The body will guide you if you listen.

Having been involved as a 'pioneer' in this process, then witnessing many others, I have found that the more tuned people are to their inner spirit and body consciousness, the easier the journey has been and the greater the likelihood of their adapting it as a way of life, and not a short term adventure.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Jasmuheen was born in Australia in 1957 to Norwegian immigrants. After a successful career in computer programming and finance she began researching then writing empowering metaphysical literature that was based on her own experiences of decades of deep meditation which she began in the early 1970's.

In 2000 she was awarded the IgNobel Prize for literature for her controversial book "Pranic Nourishment" which is available - like many of her 37 books - in 18 languages.

A controversial figure Jasmuheen's main focus is on world health and world hunger issues and the projects of The Embassy of Peace for which she is an Ambassador, spending 5-6 months traveling each year for the last few decades. Due to the Global pandemic she now offers a wonderful selection of Online Courses at this link https://jasmuheen.podia.com/

Jasmuheen is also a film-maker with nearly 700 uplifting and educational videos on her YouTube channel, an artist, musician and President of the Global Congress of Spiritual Scientists in Pyramid Valley Bangalore India.

She writes:- True Magic … “When we open ourselves to experience the true magic and the pure heart, that lies behind so many cultures, we can go beyond prejudice, limitation and fear, for deep within the human heart is a natural rhythm of harmony that is longing to be released. I have found that when we celebrate our differences we unify with each other in a field of appreciation that is unparalleled to the alternative we have known – the field of gossip and judgment which can perpetuate loneliness and separation. When we seek to understand what another appreciates about their own way of life, and when we take the chance to see their life and the beauty of their culture though their eyes, this action and choice can eliminate feelings of both fear and separation and bond us deeply.” Jasmuheen

If one could accomplish what this book purports one can, and I believe one can, then I paid $70 for $70,000 worth of knowledge! I'm glad I read it. The author has survived a good dose of calumny for her efforts to unveil a mission heretofore impossible. I'm glad she did. I want to give it a try and will likely fail the first 25 times I try. But I believe, like her, that there's something out there in the shadows and it's moving! Every form of refuge has its price - what are we willing to NOT do to transcend aging and death. An IQ of 2 should have enough faith in God to decry 'dead at 81 years.' You need to be spiritually huge, in my opinion, to undertake this mission. Don't invest in this book if you have to look up the word 'spiritual.' We all know who we are.

THIS IS A SACRED SPIRITUAL BOOK FOR THOSE WHO CHOOSE TO LIVE THE PATH OF LIGHT AND LOVE. IT REQUIRES THE HIGHER INTELLECT TO UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT IN THIS BOOK. IT IS NOT FOR EVERYONE. YOU MUST CHOOSE THIS PATH OR IT CHOOSES YOU DEPENDING ON YOUR READINESS. THIS IS NOT FOR THOSE THAT WANT TO READ AND JUDGE. YOU MUST LIVE IT TO UNDERSTAND IT. IT IS ABOUT ACTION NOT THEORY.
AGAIN, IT IS NOT FOR EVERYONE. IT IS SACRED AND SPIRITUALITY ON THE HISHEST LEVEL.

I am not trying to belittle any of the followers of the author but I just have a hard time believing in this notion when it's constantly contradicted. For instance the author makes a bold statement that she has gone years without food and then in the next few chapters indicates she has tea and crackers. I don't know about anyone else but the statement without food means just that WITHOUT FOOD. Not some food sometime. Nothing wrong with the ideas but it's not grounded enough in reality. What would have been better is more a fundamental approach to how it's actually done.

I know this book presents an almost unbelievable way of living, but I was at a presentation by the author and was swept away with her sincerity. She was well aware of the skeptics and only presented her personal experiences and views. She emphasized how tough it was to stay with this way of living in the face of all the social pressures and attitudes around food. This was a spiritual journey for her. By the way, she looked very wholesome and vibrant, not gaunt and skinny. The picture on the book doesn't do justice to her real world presence and radiance.

Let me start off by saying I am well qualified to comment on this BECAUSE I have NOT read this book nor have attempted to do what is proposed in the book. I was intrigued by the comments about the book, and so I watched the 60-minutes program on you-tube. It was clear from the get go that the program had concluded this was fake. That is really bad journalism although unfortunately it's common today. Secondly, the TV show stated that they need to cease this because 60-minutes "they" will be legally responsible if this continued. I would have respected them if they said; we need to make sure Jasmuheen is ok. Some reviewers have misquoted this here in their review as 60-minutes caring for her life. Ok, setting that aside, the doctor said her heart/pulse rate doubled. Now I am no doctor but even I know that starvation causes decline in physiological processes including heart rate. Not an increase - see the Wikipedia page for reference. I did find two more reference that either said no change in heart rate on starving animals or reduced heart rate. ([...]). Clearly the odds were set against her and she seemed mostly fine after four days of no food although a bit down. Now I am not saying this works or does not work. Obviously you are a fool if you jump off a building if someone tells you that you can fly. If this works, there is an approach to this. If you think this is a diet then you are obviously insane - you don't need to read review after review to understand that you will die if you don't eat. But maybe, just maybe there will be a reviewer you would have tried to understand the concept, follow it and then write reviews stating clearly how and why it will not work or never will work, it would be great. And like any exercise, success is not really a true requirement, because it's all relative. May be you can control your metabolism mentally and reduce it to the point where you are eating less. I can think of so many other possibilities other than zero food intake. I for one, if I were to try this, would not skip on water until I reach the stage where I can live for a while without food. And I won't skip food, until I realize that I can live for a day without food. And I won't do that until I can live without one meal and feel fully alright. You body is not just going to wake up one day I say, ok then, I don't need any food. If you believe that then this book is not for you. May be one day I will buy this book and have the time to do this - if not for anything just to find out how this might actually work. If it does not work, you won't find me dead - I will be chewing my burger somewhere.

I read this book and was blown away. I would never have believed that not eating was possible. I tried the technique and, sure enough, I don't have to eat! Now, she does say that people who have achieved the technique can still eat if they want to, for pleasure. So that's what I do. I eat three square meals a day plus snacks, every day, just for fun. But I think it's great that I am finally free of food. Hooray!
