Fasting!
In health books I have read they have discussed the power of fasting from food for 24 hours. How it gives the body a chance to take a break from the hard work of digesting food. That it cleanses and helps rejuvenate the organs. I have also read books about fasting for spiritual reasons. That after a certain amount of time going with out food and water our bodies start to produce "Ketone Bodies" which signals to the brain you are no longer hungry and no longer need food. Once this happens you have physiologically put off the natural man and become a spiritual being. Today I fasted for both health reasons and spiritual. I have done this before but for some reason today was extra ordinary. I felt as if my spirit wasn't connected to my body and I really did feel like I was connected to God or what others call a higher being. Health wise I also felt as though I was cleansed and that my body was getting a break from digesting food.I would do it again but not more than once a month as I don't know if my body could handle it more than that.

I would get the shakes if I did that but I can just imagine what it would be like spiritually. We are so out of tune with life sometimes and getting our balance back would help tremendously in our day to day lives.
