Dan: Fasting for increased spirituality has its basis in exercising the
control of the mind/spirit over the body. To begin with, a simple 24 hour
fast once per month should be sufficient.. Of course, if you are diabetic,
watch your bgs and reduce insulin or oral meds and exercise accoringly--or
you might become totally spiritual. It is a common practice to do this at a
time when you can read and meditate (think) about specific spiritual
subjects, and pray for speicfic outcomes or guidance. Once you master this,
you may want to try extending the period--but again watch the bgs carefully.
In many religions, this is an integral part of increasing ones spiritual
awareness. I believe it has to do with your intentional denial of bodily
desires (this includes sex). You will first becoem vvery hungry. Just push
through that. You'll then feel a heightened state of clarity of thought--and
you will feel closer to your maker. You will find communicattion alm,ost
conversational. When coming off your fast--be careful to eat lightly so as
to not cause digestive problems. And once again watch the bgs or they will
certainly spike. This once per month fasting is also helpful in clensing
your colon. Doug
