Meditations On Diabetes (strengthening Your Spirit In Every Season)

Modern medicine is coming full circle to realize again what ancient healers knew-illness affects both the body and the soul. And healing requires then and now, a soul search for meaning. A chronic illness like diabetes is a challenge to the people who develop it, their families, and their health care professionals, but a valuable kind of healing is possible. In searching for your own meanings, you gain emotional strength, inner peace, and a fuller enjoyment of your life. The meditations in this book, written by a teacher and author who has had diabetes most of her life, draw on the wisdom of many cultures and religious to help you in your search 'These meditations may be the difference between seeing yourself as a victim and seeing yourself as a hero. -Rachel Naoml Remen, MD 'This is an inspiring book about healing by learning to access our deepest spiritual resources. It is profoundly moving and strengthening for the spirit. Highly recommended.
