I'm the opposite...ME/CFS has definitely been a source of spirtual growth for me..no question. Though I was a nature lover before also, my focus was on the physical (hiking, biking, skiing, whatever) not the soul...the SPIRIT. This article is a lot about what I have been focusing on for the past 2+ years...going with the flow of life and non-resistence with
what is...reading Eckhart Tolle helped change my life, along with reading scripture.
I wanted to share something I read this morning: In the Chinese picture-letter alphabet, the symbol for
crisis is a combination of two characters - one meaning "danger" and the other "opportunity". You can look at it either way. I tend to look at it as the latter, now. More can be learned from life's trial than from it's triumphs.
One more thing I use that helps...the phrase..."And this too shall pass"...in reference to your reflection on non-permanence.
Thanks for posting an article about this.
Hope we can do more as I can't begin to tell you what it has done for my life.
