Are You a Hungry Ghost?
Last summer, when I was fasting in Thailand, I read Savor, a book by Thich Nhat Hanh. The fast was a success, and it was also a struggle to stay on it at times. I fasted for 11 days while there, and in the end I learned a lot about myself. During that time I took ownership of my self-sabotage, and I confronted and honored it with love and compassion. One thing which really stuck with me in the book Savor was the idea of the hungry ghost.
