Ray
Maor is a very powerful spiritual teacher, consciousness guide, and
breatharian. What does this mean? Ray doesn’t need food to survive and
thrive. Since 2012 Ray has been living the Pranic lifestyle, and is the
go-to expert on this topic. He went over a year without eating any food,
and incorporated numerous bouts of dry fasting (no food, no water) into
his diet throughout the year.
Ray has mastered the Pranic lifestyle
and now initiates people into a ten-day breatharian process. He
emphasizes the importance of spiritual and mental cleansing along with
this deep physical cleansing process, and maintains that this is a
powerful tool for self-actualization and healing — when done correctly
of course.
After conducting this life-changing
interview with Ray, my perception shifted dramatically about what our
relationship to food is really based upon. It also opened me up to
questioning many deeper belief systems around the things we accept as
“norms” in society.
Do we really need to eat food?
Are we addicted to food or not?
Is our attachment to food based on our emotional associations or physical addiction to food?
First, let’s dive into it. What is a breatharian?
A breatharian is defined as someone who
can give up food and water and live completely off prana. Prana is a
Sanskrit word that translates as “life air,” or “life force.”
The notion of “prana” is mentioned in
many ancient traditions. Japan, China, and Polynesia all have individual
terms to reference “life-force energy,” with unique references to what
we call Breatharianism today.
How do we become a Breatharian?
The idea is that it is important to be
initiated into this lifestyle, or to be guided by someone experienced.
We can slowly transition by becoming vegetarian, then vegan, and
eventually reduce to fruits and vegetables. Following this would be a
liquid diet of juices and shakes, and eventually incorporate fasting and
dry fasting into our experience.
