I am entering my third year of sitting down every day to meditate, and I am continuously reaping the benefits; Emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually. This morning I had a wonderful inspiration during my meditation on the anahata chakra (the heart chakra): I decided to dedicate my fasting day every week (which is tomorrow) to people who are suffering from hunger around the world.
This was the initial thought while meditating, however, I have thought about it all day and I will dedicate my fasting day to a different theme related to the subject of nutrition and alimentation: the lack of food in certain parts of the world, the treatment of animals which we feed on, the land we farm, my attitude towards food (which is the main motivation behind having a fasting day in my routine) etc...
