Does anyone fast and meditate? I’ve meditated on and off over the years but am determined to meditate while fasting tonight (sitting at 30 hours right now of a 72 hour fast) and am curious if anyone has experience doing this. Thanks!
Well, being able to fast is deeply related to what meditation tries to achieve, mindfulness. Being able to control your urges, to know that feelings come and go, to focus even in the presence of noise (noise in a general sense, not just sounds), these are all instrumental for being able to complete fasts, short or long.
