Fasting as spiritual practice

Fasting as spiritual practice harnesses the discomfort of hunger and renunciation to deepen awareness, discipline the will, and create psychological space for reflection or prayer. Across traditions, the point isn't punishment but rather using bodily restraint to interrupt autopilot and realign with intention.
