Fasting and Simplicity
By Randy Salars·
Fasting and simplicity are spiritual disciplines that involve voluntary restraint from food, distractions, or excess in order to focus on spiritual matters. These practices are found in Christianity (Lent), Islam (Ramadan), Buddhism (Uposatha), and many other traditions.
Fasting: Abstaining from food or certain activities to cultivate self-control and spiritual awareness.
Simplicity: Choosing a life of moderation, contentment, and freedom from material attachment.
These disciplines foster gratitude, clarity, and a deeper sense of dependence on the divine.
