Intermittent Fasting does not make a person good. It is not moral, magical, or superior. But when fasting becomes gentle and ordinary, it can remove a lot of noise. The body stops demanding quite so loudly. The constant cycle of wanting, reaching, tasting, comforting, filling, and wanting again begins to quieten. There is more space between impulse and action. And kindness lives in that space. Fasting teaches me that I do not have to answer every urge. A sensation can arise, be felt, and pass. Hunger can appear without becoming a command. Discomfort can be present without needing a story. That feels very close to forgiveness. Not fighting the body. Not obeying it blindly. Just not making it king. When there is less reactivity, there is less defence. When there is less defence, there is less attack. And when attack falls away, kindness is what remains. Fasting only reinforces kindness when it stays gentle. If it becomes control, pride, punishment, purity, or superiority, it has become ego in a thinner coat. For me, fasting is not deprivation. It is a quieter life. #fasting #acim #acourseinmiracles #newthought #eckharttolle #buddhism #breathwork #connection #healing #pridemonth #Karma #TrueNature #Awakening #Meditation #Mindfulness #Spirituality #intermittentfasting #nonduality #reality #life
