New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901
| Today marks the beginning of Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, a time that is spent fasting from dawn until sunset. Muslims also observe this sacred time by saying prayers and doing good deeds. While most of the folks reading this book probably aren't Muslim, all of these things are good for the spirit, so why not take a day to fast in honor of our own sacred spiritual beliefs, say a few extra prayers, and maybe do a good deed or two? Fasting for spiritual reasons (rather than health or diet) should be done with an attitude of reverence. You might want to make a special tea to drink during the day, made from your favorite herbs, and when you break your fast at sunset, eat slowly and mindfully, with gratitude for the food. |
