to be thrilled by the stars at night;

these are some of the rewards of the simple life.

Here are some ideas to help you strengthen your spirituality in spite of your present pain and health challenges.

• Go within yourself. Often people say that meditating for hours can help you to re-connect your spirit. If your body hurts or is physically limited, it may not be possible for you to sit on the floor and meditate. Sometimes a walking meditation is easier on the body because it also helps you to distract from the pain signals in your body. Simply enjoy your spiritual meditation with a comfortable walk around the block.

  Go with the intention of finding something beautiful in nature that is thriving in spite of adversity. Examples that you could find could be:

• A weed growing in the middle of someone’s front yard landscaped with rock.
• A bunny rabbit that races across the road in the middle of traffic.
• Plants and grass that sprout and grow in an area that previously burned with fire.
• Or the ant that carries a piece of popcorn that is 100 times his size across the sidewalk.

  There are many subtle examples.

  During your walk of distraction or walk of meditation, simply notice the beauty.

• The one red flower in the gathering of all yellow flowers.
• A ladybug on a blade of grass.
• A bird collecting twigs, string, and whatever else to build a nest.

  If your pain levels have eased a bit and your body can tolerate some stillness, then find a soft patch of grass and lay down. Enjoy the warmth of the sun. If there are clouds, then create pictures from the clouds. Do anything using the beauty of your surroundings to fill yourself up, ease the stress caused by pain, and hopefully feel stronger and renewed to face the challenges you are presently facing.

• On high pain days, going within can be difficult because you feel the painful sensations in your body. If your pain levels are too uncomfortable to sit quietly with yourself, then try a meditation that you listen to. The following are our favorites:

  “The Healing Codes” by Ben Johnson and Alex Loyd

  “Healing Meditations” by Bernie Siegel.
