#16 - Fasting (Tools of Transformation) (Kabbalistic Mystic)

This past week we celebrated the Equinox, the time in which the length of the day is Equal to the length of the night, and we start fall, which like Spring, is a transitional season. These seasons are time for us to morph. Fall, much like spring, is a great time to cleanse or even fast. In this Episode we discuss Fasting - not just as a spiritual practice, but as a tool of physical and emotional transformation. Specifically, we discuss the benefits and uniqueness of a fast called the conquest fast, during which one consumed nothing but water.
