fast

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

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
