The spiritual practice of fasting from food reaches into the core of our being, giving us more life in the Spirit and less in the "flesh", thus transforming who we are. Cravings for the things of this world can vanish, as our will comes more under control.
The suggested fast is bread and water. (For those with health limitations, a modified fast can be observed. This might mean cutting out desserts and coffee, or eating only vegetables, beans and/or nuts. and drinking plenty of water.)
