I found such a great comment from one of my community members on the HuffPost Living Page which deserves to be shared... 

The article was from Ed and Deb Shapiro Making friends with illness. When we "get sick" it is a signal from our body saying slow down, stop and listen to me.

What do we do instead, we fear, hate and want to get rid of it as fast as possible; we just want it to go away but what about when you cannot. It  is then you are obliged to work on accepting yourself in your entirety because you cannot change what is.

As that work progresses, you begin to let go and heal from the inside out and the pace is all up to you.

When you let go your beauty shines for all to see so go ahead, make friends with your illness.  Arithrianos (a Huffington Post commenter) said this:

Comment from Arithrianos

making friends with illness is the only wise move, any other strategy will just produce more sickness, sick of being sick of being sick, etc etc that keeps the old ball of suffering rolling, there is no victory that way, only stale-mate, not good for anything, the live wire connection that illness presents so wonderfully and painfully is lost by separating from it, regarding it as other.

this is your bodies' wisdom talking, it is out of balance already so any rocking of the boat will just capsize the whole experience, then you really have no control, you are in that ocean tossed about by the vicissitudes of whatever illness you have appinted king of your life, and this goes for all the mental illnesses as well, greed, hatred, ignorance and all the derivisions.

the same taste is all i have ever experienced, it is like somthing wonka would make, you taste what you expect to taste, my nickname is same after all, dz. ponlop r. knew what he was doing when he called me same.

radiate is really not something that is a step on it's own to me though, it is simply what happens when you connect, there is no way to keep that tsumani to yourself, if you are connected then you will radiate, so opening is a safety measure, trying to keep cosmic love is a dangerous path, just ask any reformed black magician, trying to keep the sun in your pocket burns.
