Fasting and Sacrifice

Fasting is a way of taking your attention away from the world. By consciously participating in time dedicated to awareness of the need to look only to your spiritual source for sustenance, you are trusting in the renewing power of Source and relieving the body of stress forged by unconscious eating habits or patterns. Healing can take place as you give the body a rest from the constant process of digestion. To be a spiritual warrior or pilgrim on the path of meaning involves a level of self-discipline that requires sacrifice.  Without giving up of something that has perceived value, there is no gain.  Life is a constant series of exchanges.  Life is exchanged for life in the process of eating.
