Ascended masters often use death meditations as a tool to gain enlightenment.

Given that, I wonder what living with chronic pain and illness can teach us?

I don't mean that we've overcome our fear of death.

But we are the living embodiment of so many people's fears.

That's a big part of the reason why friendships end as illnesses become chronic.

What do we have to show for the journey of chronic pain/illness?

Chronic illness has led me to a contemplative practice and visualization. At times I wonder whether I'm using it to escape.

I downloaded an audio training on astral projection as a way to actually leave my experience.

What skills or abilities have you gained because of chronic pain/illness?
