Open your mind and heart and discover how the sacred art
of
fasting can strengthen your spiritual appetite
Fasting as a religious act increases our sensitivity to that
mystery always and everywhere present to us . It is an invitation
to awareness, a call to compassion for the needy, a cry of
distress, and a song of joy. It is a discipline of self-restraint,
a ritual of purification, and a sanctuary for offerings of
atonement. It is a wellspring for the spiritually dry, a compass
for the spiritually lost, and inner nourishment for the spiritually
hungry. from chapter 9
Though fasting is practiced in some form by nearly every faith
tradition throughout the world, it is often seen as scary or
something only for monastic life. But fasting doesn t have to be
intimidating. And it doesn t have to mean going weeks without
food.
"The Sacred Art of Fasting" invites you to explore the practical
approaches, spiritual motivations, and physical benefits of this
ancient practice by looking at the ways it is observed in several
faith traditions. Inspiring personal reflections, helpful advice,
and encouragement from people who practice fasting answer your
questions, allay your fears, and reveal how you too can safely
incorporate fasting into your spiritual life.
