In this captivating episode, we dive into the unusual world of breatharianism—a belief system that centers on spiritual nourishment and energy, rather than solely on food. While breatharianism is not about surviving solely on air and light, Jasmuheen’s extreme interpretations led some followers to dangerously push these boundaries. We’ll explore how her teachings turned this spiritual practice into something risky, with tragic outcomes for those who took her guidance to heart. Through shocking stories and firsthand accounts, we reveal the high price of searching for enlightenment at any cost.
The following episode discusses extreme spiritual beliefs and practices that encourage starvation and extreme fasting. These practices have led to serious health risks and even fatalities. We do not endorse or recommend any behavior that compromises personal health and well-being. Listener discretion is strongly advised, and anyone considering lifestyle changes should consult with qualified medical professionals.
