At one point, I got a degree in physiology and I've always been interested in nutrition. My spiritual journey and interest in health led me to fasting many years ago. It is wonderful to find communities that accept fasting. For many years, the resources were few and far between.
I have found fasting to be one of the most powerful "centering" disciplines. At the same time, for me, it is not about mustering a fast on my own strength. There is definately a synergistic spiritual aspect. I have never been able to have a longer fast without being spiritually centered and fasting can help bring that centeredness.
Have you written any books or articles on fasting:
