In the 'inner' tradition of Chinese Medicine, the type of medicine that was practiced by the more esoteric alchemists, especially of the Complete Reality School, disease and illness was said to come about through the loss or disconnection with the 'authentic self'.

What I find interesting about 'art' — or probably more importantly — creativity in all its forms is how effective it is at creating re-connection with who we really are.

This is one such example.

Once we find ourselves entangled in conditions of chronic illness though, re-connecting with our true nature doesn't mean the illness disappears overnight. It took time for the physiology to devolve, thus it takes time to heal... and then there is the ageing process, which is natural anyway.

My point is don't despair if you think your illnesses are still present even when you are immersed in your true nature's expression. It takes time to heal. And you're on the right track.

Keep it up!!
