    I wouldn't go near asceticism, but occasional day-long fastings do have an effect of clearing my mind. It also helps my meditation a bit, too.

    Helps me focus.

    Of course, you shouldn't fast if you don't know what you're doing. You could hurt yourself.

    Watch your blood glucose level when fasting....otherwise you could be meaner than a snake!

    I have done various forms of fasting. I have never noticed being mean. Just cleansed on the inside. It seems to set me up for a deeper understanding of things, as well.
