In the post \u201cListening is the Key to Flowing with Your Life Path\u201d I wrote briefly about T. Thorn Coyle\u2019s workshop I attended in St. Louis. Click here for the post.<\/a> One of many things she said which stuck with me was \u201cNo sick mystics.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thorn wrote a post fully explaining what she meant. \u201cBy \u201cNo Sick Mystics\u201d I don\u2019t mean that magick workers, mystics, spiritual seekers or priests never get sick. What I mean is, let\u2019s not court illness. Let\u2019s court health. Let\u2019s work toward the greatest synergy possible for our minds, bodies, emotions and spirits.\u201d Thorn also explains that \u201cA person living with cancer can find ways to be as healthy as possible while living with cancer. A person who is bedridden can find his best way of courting health from bed. What is your best way? We can\u2019t let the overculture dictate how health should look or feel. When we do that, a different imbalance enters \u2013 self loathing and a bunch of \u2018shoulds\u2019 \u2013 and often we give up, because the distorted ideal is unattainable. What is ideal for our personal optimal health?\u201d<\/p>\n

I encourage all of my readers to take a moment to visit her post \u201cNo Sick Mystics!\u201d Click here.<\/a><\/p>\n
