3 mindful meditation prompts to help manage psoriasis:
-- this paradox becomes another entry point to the mysteries of my identity and the inextricable connection between my mind, body, and spirit.
As I welcome stillness and pay closer attention to this profound interconnectivity, I marvel at the meticulously curated collection of blood, bones, brain cells, and bicuspids that is me. I am a walking miracle of mechanics, each moving part mine alone to cherish or squander. I also see and feel the evidence of my own wear and tear, my faulty genetic wiring, the silent scourge of incessant inflammation, and the damaging effects of free-roaming free radicals.
I am not the sole conductor of this organic orchestra, but I am learning to play along by ear and listen more carefully to the messages I receive. Having ignored these messages for most of this life, I am working to awaken to new opportunities to nourish mind, body, and spirit in equal measure to help nurture a sweet symbiosis.
Managing chronic conditions like psoriasis, addiction, and anxiety requires knowledge, discipline, and, sometimes, medical intervention. I have embraced proven frameworks and developed daily rituals to build resilience to pain and stress, fatigue, panic, and other physical symptoms that wax and wane. Honoring these frameworks and rituals helps meand come to terms with my human frailties.
To outsmart this terrestrial trap, my routine has also come to include multiple escape routes out of my body, out of my mind, and into a more spacious place inside where my identity is boundless and largely unknown to me. Meditation, mindfulness, and movement are the spiritual chutes and ladders of my daily routine. Together with gratitude, these practices help me surrender to and transcend the physical pain, gnawing anxiety, and the harmful self-sabotage that have defined me for so long.
