how does a spiritual fasting work?

I have been really stressed out lately. I suffer from anxiety and OCD. I say I struggle with my anxiety more than my OCD. The OCD has got a whole lot better. Lately I have been having a weird thought here and there…but I don’t let it phase me. I just continue to do whatever I’m doing when I geta weird thought. Anyway…I have been a little ill and super stressed out due to personal issues, anxiety, being a mommy, navy wife, and working full time and still trying to make a career change.

Some one told me meditation is a great way to relax…so today I finally did that. I meditated and as I was meditating the thought of going thru a seven day spiritual fast came to mind. I don’t know why. I have never thought about that before. Maybe God wants me too ??? I don’t know. I have always considered my self Chrisrian although I have nor been loyal or have practiced. I find the lord calling me like every year…well atleast that’s what I think. Seems like every year I go thru some crisis and he always gets me thru it. Today while I was meditating I also thought to just had him my worries and everything will be ok..and he has proved that to me everytime. I don’t think what I’m going thru is that bad. I just really feel like I’m changing.

Anyway…I was really interested in fasting and the best and healthiest way of fasting. Does it work even if I haven’t been to church or prayed in a long time?

Please don’t answer if you are trying to plug a product. I’m not interested. I want to do this with no gimmicks (if I do decide to go through with it)

I am looking for a book that is about Buddhism for the modern woman. Any ideas?

The book is very thin and funny and quirky. There are tips on dating, work and meditation. The cover is green with a cartoon picture of a girl in a purple yoga outfit. I can’t remember the name. PLEASE HELP!
Dear Zen Master:
Because you were so nice as to provide such a helpful reply I thought I’d give you some insight. I’m a devout Christian, have been saved and invited Jesus into my heart a few years ago. I feel that Buddhism is more a way of life than a religion (just for me). To judge someone on their religion is not what God teaches. We’re to be kind and understanding to all, it’s not our place to judge, nor do I judge you. But I thought I’d share a little bit of background for you. Thanks again.

Is God really eternal and just?

If you read Genesis chapter 38 … Onan didn’t do anything wrong, he didn’t want to bring a child into the world of his brother, whom the Lord considered wicked. So why in the dictionary has man’s ways placed derogatory definition to onanism? Then why did God allow that?

In Genesis chapter 38: Why didn’t God abolish Judea for conceiving a child with his daughter-in-law who hid a twin pregnancy from the Lord, and then pay her as a prostitute? These children , technically, would have been products of incest …

In a natural spiritual meditation: Why did God allow reincarnation of Judea in some form as Judas … who would sell out a friend for 30 shenkels … Shouldn’t the issues have been handled with Judea to prevent wickedness?

overwhelming emotions – meditation!?

ok so ive only just started meditating (im 14) and i started with this youtube video, unconditional love meditation. While listening to this, i closed my eyes, lit 2 candles beside me and turned off all the lights while sitting cross legged on the floor. My palms were turned up beside me and as i listened to this women talk, it was almost like she brought me to another dimension. She was talking about this bright light, of unconditional love and as i imagined it, it felt like i was actually there, and i could actually see a bright light! I was overwhelmed by emotions and it felt like i had reached a point of pure bliss, and it was so weird because i was thinking about God and it was like i felt gods presence! It was amazing, but sort of scary all at the same time. Also, when my eyes were closed, i had difficulty opening them and when i did, i was startled and the feeling of bliss went away. it was so surreal and wonderful! has anyone had any experiences like this? ill link you the video.
