People fast for diverse reasons - religious devotion, health benefits, mental clarity, habit resetting, self-discipline, spiritual connection, social change, mindful eating. Fasting creates space by pausing consumption, allowing reflection and renewal. It can promote physical healing, consciously transform habits, deepen focus, build willpower. The common thread is taking a break from excess in favor of simplicity. With intention, fasting helps detach from cravings, cleanse mind and body, gain self-mastery. The experience is unique to each faster.
But practiced carefully, fasting often provides illumination, restoration and new perspective. By temporarily giving up certain “wants”, we open up to receive deeper “needs.”
