The eleventh day of the lunar cycle is called ‘Ekadashi’. 
In Gujarati અગિયારસ
•There are two Ekadasis in a month, one during Shukla Paksha and another during Krishna Paksha.
👩My Fasting day.

WHY DO WE KEEP FASTING ON EKADASHI?

🔸️According to Ayurveda, Fasting is one of the great practices for detoxifying the body and mind.

🔸️When the stomach is kept empty the toxins(aam) in the body get cleared..

🔸️Same for Mind. Spend some time for spiritual practice like Chanting Mantras, Meditation, Reading books(Lord Narayana). That will help to keep the mind relax and calm.

🔸️Some choose to observe a strict Ekadashi Vrat, without consuming any food or water and

🔸️Some observe this fast by consuming fruits or Phalhaar – juices, milk products, tea, etc.,

🔸️Depending on their Prakruti(Vata, pitta, Kapha), the strength of their body, and willpower. Eating grains and cereals of any kind is prohibited during Ekadashi Fasting.

🔸️एकादशीनां सर्वासां कर्तव्यं व्रतमादरात्
Ekadashi is the best of all fasts.

So Try to keep Fasting at least twice a month or you can keep once a week.
Don’t make your stomach as continuous working factory.

Sometimes Give time for relaxation..

Allow body to Heal.
