In this racing world is it easy to be distracted and agitated by politics, finances, health, etc. Yet, the ancient wisdom presented in the Zhuāngzǐ offers a way to release yourself from this binge of mind and emotions.
Heart/Mind fasting is an answer to help reset you to a calm, quiet place.
Xīn zhāi fǎ (心斋法), (literally heart/mind, purification, method), often translated as “fasting the heart-mind practices,” is a central Daoist contemplative practice. Despite the word fasting, it has nothing to do with abstaining from food.
In our monthly newsletter, or through our blog at our website, you can learn more about the practice and find several suggestions on how to do such in your life.
