Product Description
Unleash the power of fasting to help you discover your sacred self.
A centuries-old tradition, fasting has historically been recognized as a way to heighten human sensitivity to all things-animate and insensate-in the universe. Ancient cultures understood the link between the physical, the emotional, and the spiritual experience and acknowledged fasting as a means for making this connection.
The Fasting Path is a guide to help readers safely and effectively use fasting to tap into the sacred energy of the earth. Author Stephen Buhner explains how fasting allows us to experience fully the intricate relationship of the mind, body, and the spiritual world. Step by step, Buhner leads readers through the fasting process, preparing them to embrace the physical, emotional, and spiritual healing resulting from this transformational phenomenon.

 The Path Stopped Short March 15, 2009

I like Buhner but this is not one of Buhner's best books. He actually sheds light on his LACK of knowledge about fasting and religions (which he claims to know much about) in the post-Preface note. He states: "Nonwater fasting is highly unusual now; the only instances I know of are during cartain types of vision quests." Unknown to him, certain Jewish fasts are nonwater fasts. This was the type of fasting I was expecting to read about. The book says basically nothing about nonwater fasts and is therefore incomplete.
The Fasting Path covers the Emotional, Physical and Spiritual aspects of fasting yet only the chapter on the Physical aspects is worth the reading. Buhner goes into great detail about what the body is up against during a fast, what is does, how it does it, and why.
I have experienced extended fasting before, including extended nonwater fasting, and hoped to find some inspiring extras I've never heard. I didn't find much. I actually finished reading with some confused, unanswered questions.
Some of the book's content is repeated in his other books.

I bought 3 or 4 books on fasting to prepare before doing my first fast. Completed a 10 day water only fast. I liked this book alot. Enjoyed reading it and it has good information.

This book is the best guide for really treating your body, mind, & soul with honor & respect. For anyone who is considering a fast this is a must read and also contains valuable information for those who wish to live a good life. I highly recommend this book for all.

This book was very good for those who really are having thoughts about the spiritual/emotional aspects of fasting. For me, as a first time faster, I really wanted info on the facts of fasting, i.e. how to fast, what I should do, how much should I be drinking, water drinking, etc. This book has a very short section on this towards the end, only a few pages. The rest is devoted to the positive spirtual aspects you can gain through fasting. There are also a couple of good recipes in the back. So for some it will be very informative, for me it wasn't quite what I was looking for.

This book really explains it all, right down to the basics of fasting and in great detail the physical effects of fasting which is why I was interested in the first place. I also found out that the emotional and spiritual side of fasting is even more important.
