Have you ever wondered why you feel and experience emotions the way you do? The Emotional Fast is a seven-episode series of the Mongata Podcast that will help you answer that question and use the tools you have within yourself to transform and embrace them.

Each week in our immersive experience, we will focus on a single emotion. We will share what brings these emotions to us and then fast from it so we can learn how to transform and embrace it. Join us for the Emotional Fast on Thursdays and accompanying meditations on Sundays this spring.

In this episode, we are looking into what we consume and how we can make our lives simpler.

Our readings today were from Stephen Harrod Buhner's book, The Transformational Power of Fasting: The Way to Spiritual, Physical, and Emotional Rejuvenation.

Reflection Questions:

What is the emotional fast you choose for this sacred season?

What are the foods or objects that clutter up your attention and your heart?

When you imagine setting these aside for a time, what images come to fill that open space?

What true hunger do you sense when you strip away the excess consumption?
