Abstract:
Fasting is the single greatest natural healing therapy. It is nature’s ancient, universal “remedy” for many problems. Paramahansa Yogananda suggested that fasting is a way to increase our natural resistance to disease, stating that “Fasting is a natural method of healing”. Most disease can be cured by judicious fasting unless one has a weak heart; regular short fasts have been recommended by the yogis an excellent health measure. Through fasting we can turn our energies inward, where we can use them for healing, clarity and change.
