Meditations 1-10

from Days of Grace: Meditations and Practices for Living with Illness

Written By Mary C. Earle

NOTE TO THE READERMary C. Earle: <listen>
If you are living with illness, please use these meditations at a pace that best fits you. There's no need to be "on task." You may find that you read a meditation that does not speak to you. Skip it! You can come back to it later. 

Most of all, use these meditations (and the practices, if you are so inclined) in a way that supports your own physical, spiritual and mental health. If you have questions about whether a particular practice is appropriate for your condition, check with your physician, or your spiritual director, or other caregiver.
