BREATHARIANS


How many not-eating people live in on Earth? Some say that a few thousands. It is a fact, that majority of breatharians are a highly spiritual developed people, who are not interested in fame and publicity. A lot of them are barely recognizable because you can invite them for a dinner, to pub, they can participate in parties and then they eat in order to avoid sensation, however they need neither food nor liquids to keep the body in perfect condition.

Below, you can find only a few of not-eating people (in alphabetical order), who have been well known by the media.


Alenara

One of a very few persons on Earth, who can explain breatharianism so well, based on her own experience and tuning in the matter. Her web is here.

Barbara Moore

"A heroic figure is Barbara Moore, M.D. of London" - a news release by the London Sunday Chronicle dated 17 June 1951 reads:
A woman of 50, who looks like she was only 30, claimed yesterday that she hates food, has beaten old age, and expects to live at least 150 years. She has set out to do it by giving up food. Twenty years ago she ate three normal meals a day. Slowly for 12 years she reduced her eating until she was keeping fit on one meal a day of grass, chickweed, clover, dandelion and an occasional glass of fruit juice. Five years ago she switched entirely to juices and raw tomatoes, oranges, grasses and herbs. Now she drinks nothing but a glass of water flavored with a few drops of lemon juice. She says, "There is much more in sunlight and air than can be seen by the naked eye or with scientific instruments. The secret is to find the way to absorb that extra - that cosmic radiation - and turn it into food".
Each year she goes to Switzerland for the better air and climbs mountains on a diet of water from the streams. "You see - she explains - my body cells and blood have changed considerably in composition. I'm impervious to heat or hunger or fatigue".
Barbara died in a car accident, during her travels across United States.

Christopher Schneider

He was born on 20.01.1962 in Germany. He says about himself: "I have been non-eating since August 1998 (...) it gives me a lot of experiences and events. I eat some chocolate, sweets, cheese, sometimes every day, and sometimes once a week. I eat for fulfill my tastes, touching ground, not for necessity of eating. Nearly every day I drink Cappuccino (this is something like a ritual) or watered juices".
In Germany (Bad Reichebhall region) since 1999, Chris run courses dedicated to the 21-day procedure. People determined to accommodate to live on light; he helps in passing on this process. He is also a nature therapist, rebirthing therapist, kinesiology, reiki and spiritual healing. He runs courses and helps others sharing this knowledge. As he says "all this work is dedicated to find power and connection with internal unity and Divine One Within". Christopher's web is here.

Evelyn Levy

Brazilian, lives with her husband Steve in US. After coming back from personal journey to Peru, where she didn't eat for five days, she got interested in immortality and living on light. During this time she began a natural process of accommodation to high vibrations, which resulted in lack of being hungry. Later, when in 1999 her husband decided to stop eating, she decided to do the same.

Giri Bala

Indian woman, born in 1868, has not taken food or drink since 1880. The whole life she was living in Bengal village of Biur. Her non-eating state has been rigorously investigated by the Maharaja of Burdwan. She used a certain yoga technique to recharge her body with cosmic energy from the ether, sun, and air.
The story of Giri Bala was told to Yagananda when he met with her when she was 68. At that time she had not eaten nor taken fluids for over 56 years. Still living the life of a humble and simple villager, she had in her early years as rumor spread, been taken to the palace of the leader of her province. There she was kept under strict observation and eventually 'released' with the sanction that yes she did exist purely on Light.
As a child she enjoyed a voracious appetite for which she was often chided and teased. At age nine she was betrothed and was soon ensconced in her husband's family abode. One day Giri suffered so greatly at her mother-in-law's tongue and teasing at her gluttony that she exclaimed "I shall soon prove to you that I shall never touch food again as long as I live".
She run out of the village crying, and prayed for guru, who could teach her how to live on God Light only. Then, the guru appeared and showed her Kirija Yoga technique, which made her body free from material feeding. Since that time, Giri practiced yoga to power the body energy from the sun and the air, and she took neither food nor liquids.

Then she admitted: "This is like the operation without scalpel, and you feel it very deeply".
