The spark of love brought me out of the dark valley of pain
The spark of love brought me out of the dark valley of pain
When we love, there is less physical pain and less social paint. By social pain, I mean the pain of isolation that comes with a chronic illness such as lupus. Any form of regular meditation and love are good for the soul. When we love, we increase the level of the body's endorphins, natural painkillers and our ability to cope with chronic illness increases. Try including yoga, visual imagery, the martial arts or eliciting the relaxation response several times a day. Good Books to read include Bernie Siegel's "Love Medicine and Miracles," Herbert Benson's "The Relaxation Response" O. Carl Simonton's "Getting Well Again."
