Fasting?
Hi. Has anyone heard that fasting is one of the main ways to like ascend or get closer to spiritual enlightenment? I heard about it somewhere and I’m wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction of research or can give me more information or advice of any kind.
I am currently fasting and I had a moment that felt….. connected. I’m at a place in my life where I am generally so disengaged and it’s hard to like life. But, I had a moment where I am fasting and I am starvvvvingggg and I’ve been so ungrateful lately that this got my attention. I have a child and I thought if this was my last morsel of food I would obviously give it to the child. But how hard is it to realise that if that was actually your life, you are giving your child the food knowing you’re not going to have food for who knows how long and as a mother that is so hard to know because you know you could just not wake up and you could be leaving your child alone but you also know how much they depend on you and need you?
