Water Fasting for Spiritual Reasons

It would seem safe to say that the vast majority of people that post on this forum do so because they are wanting support for their Water Fasts so they can achieve their health and/or weight loss goals.

Very rarely do I see posts that reflect people Water Fasting for spiritual/religious reasons.

Water fasting has been actively promoted for BOTH health and spiritual reasons for thousands of years.

I have found fasting to be a wonderful way of becoming calmer, more grounded, able to easily see the positive side in things and feeling far more in tuned with my spiritual side.

I initially began fasting due to some excess weight that seemed unwilling to come off; however, without a doubt, I can state that it was the emotional/spiritual results of fasting that have left - and continue to leave - the most lasting impact.

If others have noticed emotional/spiritual effects from fasting, I would appreciate them sharing their experiences.
