Today I awaken clearer, and fresher for my having fasted yesterday. My experience of having rested my digestive system for one day brings me a greater sense of spaciousness and time. It seems to me that the word for abstaining from food could easily be “slowing” instead of fasting.
With these benefits, energy is available for other good habits to come to mind and manifest. Drinking more water, reflecting on our many blessings, self-healing, conscious resting, taking a long bath, practicing asana as well as all the other limbs of yoga, mutually support the Slowing.
What practice brings other practices to your attention? Which habits support other good habits? Ki to Happiness breaks the fast consciously, in gratitude for all that truly nourishes.
