The practice of fasting has been used for both spiritual development and physical healing for many centuries. In the Bahá’í Faith, as in many religions, a period of fasting once a year is seen as a symbol of purification and a means of moving closer towards our Creator, putting us in touch with our duty and destiny here on Earth. 

In her book The Supreme Remedy: Reflections on Applying Natural Healing Arts to the Baha’i Fast, Deborah Walters - a Doctor of Naturopathy - draws on both the Bahá’í teachings and her professional experience to examine the human condition of soul, mind and body, how they are interrelated, and how they can be integrated, transformed and energized through the spiritual discipline of the Bahá’í Fast.

In this episode of Great Reads: The George Ronald podcast, Deborah Walters discusses how we can purify and energize soul, mind and body during the Fast and live a healthy lifestyle all year round.
