Our society encourages us to push
ourselves to
achieve, regardless of
the stress on our body and spirit.
When we are chronically ill, we need to learn exactly the opposite.
This is what the Buddha taught - taking things slowly; looking after
ourself with kindness; befriending our body; finding delight and
satisfaction in our own company when we are isolated by illness; making
space for rest and healing; living with physical pain and depression in
a self-caring way; learning to let go of hopes and fears, and find
happiness in the present without worrying about future or past; valuing
ourselves just as we are, regardless of whether we have achieved great
things in the world, or what people think of us.
A group of people with M.E. have been working for many years with Dido
in England.
