Fasting 101: Body, Mind & Soul Healing

All the holy scriptures testify to the power of fasting and its spiritual benefits. Fasting 101 provides the mental, physical and spiritual context of fasting. It also serves as an easy reference to various side affects of fasting and offers tried and true methods for addressing them. Let's face it, fasting isn't the easiest method for the undisciplined mind. But it is definitely the least expensive and most beneficial way to bring healing to the Mind, Soul and Body. Give it a try. And if you fail, keep trying. Even the attempts are beneficial! Everything in the universe goes though cycles. Fasting is a cycle our bodies go through nightly. When we awake, we break our fast, thus we say, "Breakfast" upon eating our first meal of the day. When we have abused our bodies and have not allowed it to go through the natural cycles of healing, our bodies fall into dis-ease. We say, "disease". Fasting is a natural cycle of life that offers our bodies the extended time it needs to recover from dis-ease.
