THURSDAY MEDITATION
Where is the Spirituality in Chronic or Mental Illness?
What is the meaning of all this?
Spirit, show me how to embrace my illness, knowing that You are standing next to me all the time. Show me the meaning of the struggles and give me understanding.
Do you struggle with health issues? Have you been diagnosed with a mental illness? Do you question and cry out to God, asking why? What is the meaning? Why? Why? Why?
More importantly, where is the spirituality in chronic or mental illness? Where is God? Where is the Light? The darkness becomes more real than the Light, and you begin to wonder.
One of the most informative books I read at the beginning of my journey with a naturopath was Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl. One of the premises of his book is that all of humanity are spiritual beings, which debunks Freud’s theory on humanity.
