Salinas Mayor Dennis Donohue publicly called for a week of Fasting for Peace in the city as a response to a recent spike in violence. City leaders and clergy are promoting the weeklong effort. Some scoff that fasting couldn’t possibly work, but Donohue said, “The evidence suggests otherwise: Gandhi and Cesar Chavez used it quite effectively.” (Los Angeles Times)
Fasting is good the body. Does seem to clear of mental “toxicity” too. I feel less irritated and see more options as a result.
I agree with you BIVVY…I’m glad to see people in public venues atleast encouraging some positive techniques and trying to introduce another way of looking at hostility and anger.
