Sorry you've been feeling at low ebb. I completely agree with you that sometimes what seems to be a negative event or condition in one's life turns out to be the path to the balance we all need. Creative, bright people need a lot of down time, and sometimes it's hard to get it in this crazy, busy world. Illness can be a blessing in that it makes us slow down - we have no choice. I'm a writer, so whenever I'm feeling fallow, I try to use that time to polish existing work, or plan future shows, or just be still and meditate. The "unproductive" time often turns out to be just like "resting" a field - afterward comes a time of tremendous "fertility." So, get the rest you need, and thank you for all you do. I love the Rumi, and the "thought for the day." The "thing you can name" is, after all, not the thing we're after. Ivan. Sorry you’ve been feeling at low ebb.

You can get a CD and listen to it: It will walk you through the body, the breath, feelings, emotions, beliefs, and bliss (the knowledge that we are an expression of love itself). I wish you well. I enjoy the work you do here and all that you offer. Thank you. Ivan, iRest yoga nidra meditation quiets and strengthens the nervous system.

It makes the world a less lonely place. Sharing your health challenge of chronic fatigue has helped me. Very much. Just yesterday, after many months of feeling depleted and pondering the inevitable, Grace intervened. I found helpful youtube videos on abdominal massage, Emotional Freedom Technique, Qi Gong, and migraines. All the information helped and I was able to put it into practice right away. Feeling so much better already, physically, mentally, emotionally, and as a result was able to meditate better, focus better. I truly feel 'today is the first day of the rest of my life'. Feeling optimistic on all levels. This is what sharing can do! We are all so similar, more so than dissimilar. And today, reading your account of Chronic Fatigue, I recognise the symptoms. I thought it was the end of the road for me. Did not want to go to doctors. I did see a good naturopath who gave me appropriate supplements and advice. We have to work on all levels - physical, mental, emotional, spiritual - for balance. Feeling unbalanced is painful and creates more anxiety. Never give up the search for wellbeing. Love to you.

And thank you, as well, for sharing information about your medical condition. Here's another site that I invite you to visit as it may be of some interest: http://www.hsperson.com/. It's a very enlightening site started by a Jungian psychologist who has spent years studying what she classifies as a segment of our human population she calls "highly sensitive." Dearest Ivan,
