It can also be the perfect gift of guidance, encouragement, and uplifting inspiration to family, friends, and loved ones struggling with the many terrifying or disheartening life changes that come so close on the heels of a diagnosis of a chronic condition or life-threatening illness. Authentic and graceful, \u003ci\u003eHow to be Sick\u003c\/i\u003e reminds us of our limitless inner freedom, even under high degrees of suffering and pain. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The author - who became ill while a university law professor in the prime of her career - tells the reader how she got sick and, to her and her partner's bewilderment, stayed that way. Toni had been a longtime meditator, going on long meditation retreats and spending many hours rigorously practicing, but soon discovered that she simply could no longer engage in those difficult and taxing forms. She had to learn ways to make \"being sick\" the heart of her spiritual practice - and through truly learning how to be sick, she learned how, even with many physical and energetic limitations, to live a life of equanimity, compassion, and joy. And whether we ourselves are ill or not, we can learn these vital arts from Bernhard's generous wisdom in \u003ci\u003eHow to Be Sick\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Wisdom Publications","offers":[{"title":"How to Be Sick: A Buddhist-Inspired Guide for the Chronically Ill and Their Caregivers | Toni Bernhard | Paperback | 9780861716265 | Used: Like New | Wellness 1741024 (temp: 22)","offer_id":48880903094424,"sku":"1741024","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/71wwRhkz7FL.jpg?v=1776378191","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/how-to-be-sick-a-buddhist-inspired-guide-for-the-chronically-ill-and-their-caregivers","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
