I believe she did three consecutive 40-day fasts, drinking only water. They're pretty haunting. In other news, pick a weekend when you're not doing much else to try a longer fast Not only do you want time and attention to focus on things instead of being distracted by work, but you'll have fewer physical demands. I find it tends to thin the veil for me-- things feel more transcendent or spiritual more easily --though I have never fasted long or entirely deliberately. I'd be happy to switch any going-out-for-dinner to just hanging out sometime if you're doing this.
