CFS is a Call For Soulwork - Softcover

An excellent book designed specifically for CFS sufferers, from format to information!

I never meant to write a book when my midnight muse came to me, yet I was in its grips and the words and messages had me transfixed. It was 1999, and I had no life. After years of searching for the right career and finally arriving, I was on the road to becoming to a psychotherapist. That's when a fatigue so thick, so all encompassing enveloped me and drove me from my path onto an unexpected, unwanted, new one. It was CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome). That's when CFS became my life, robbing me of everything: my abilities, career, relationships-- everything I knew to be me. And as it took over, so too did a midnight muse that woke me in the wee hours with messages of hope and inspiration.

As the muse kept me from sleeping, it also inspired in me what no other CFS book, person, or website could. It gave me the belief in my ability to heal; it gave me the drive to heal. It gave me the knowing I would get better; I could get better, and that where I was wasn't all bad. It showed me that I could heal myself! It taught me that I was my own best healer. I could accept my illness, even embrace it, all the while fighting and working to get better. And, so I did.

This muse (and now this book, Call For Soulwork), which came from somewhere deep within me or without me, I'm not sure, told me that CFS was my teacher. That the isolation was real, but could be broken through spiritual connection, connection to self and nature. It acknowledged my deep loneliness, the pain of broken relations and miscommunications, and my inability to be social. It acknowledged the raw fear, isolation, and despair inherent in CFS. And it showed me more; it brought me to another part of myself and another aspect of the illness. Through my illness, and with the help of my muse, subsequent spiritual journey, and this book, I began to find meaning and acceptance of where I was. Yet, I also fought to be healthier, and slowly, progressively, I healed!

CFS is a Call For Soulwork helped me heal! I wrote it when I was ill, but on the path to recovery. I wrote it from the depths of darkness, and over time it helped guide me toward wellness.

CFS is a Call For Soulwork is not about a cure, or how to heal physically (though it addresses this), rather, its about learning to see the messenger and blessings in illness so you can get better. It's about realizing your power to heal and how to be well even while being ill.

Without this book, I don't know if I ever would have recovered. Yet I did, and I have been healed for over five years now!  My book, this book, helped me heal.  And, I believe it can help you heal too.

May you be blessed on your healing journey! Gretchen
