Die Seele in der Krankheit
“The Soul in Disease”
November, 2001 – Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany
Sometimes it becomes imperative for our survival to find new ways to perceive and interpret life’s challenges. A diagnosis of a life-threatening disease can catapult us into a fear driven unconsciousness, causing us to forget our voices and our choices. We have the power to choose how we respond to any traumatic event. We can choose to greet disease as a teacher. We can allow a disease process to instruct and enlighten us rather than diminish us. We can allow it to transform our lives.
