Summary

An accessible, encouraging and inspirational self-help book that unites a broad selection of creative pursuits with the subject of living well with chronic illness. Crafting a Path through Illness offers ways to live an enjoyable, meaningful life despite chronic ill health and shares how the associated experiences and perspectives can have a valuable impact on creative output. It is both a how-to and a why-to for living creatively with chronic illness. Through its many insights: * Learn how arts and crafts can affect your physical and mental health. * Discover how the arts have been used alongside medicine over the centuries. * Feel inspired by other disabled and chronically ill artists and crafters, past and present. * Be guided in how to connect creatively with the space around you and the wider world, including other people, when isolated by illness. * Find tools, hacks and suggestions for making creativity more accessible to you. * Have a go at the suggested ideas and projects. Chronic illness is, by definition, ongoing. Patients need to find ways to be fulfilled and live well amidst their symptoms. Not only does this book offer ways to achieve that but it also shows how living with the experiences and perspectives of ill health can have a valuable impact on creative output and the uses that can have within the wider community.

    In Hinduism and Buddhism, chakras are thought of as energy centers in the body. They mark places where spiritual energies intersect. The concept of chakras ties into the early Hindu concepts of a physical body and a subtle body. While the physical body consists of mass and is visible, the subtle body — which includes the mind and emotions — consists of energy and is invisible. 
In this system, spiritual or psychic energy from the subtle body influences the physical body and vice versa. This means that the status of a person’s chakras can shape their overall health and well-being. Join us for Chakra Stories with Rick Jarrow!
