Don’t allow your body to physically trap your mind
Your body may hold you back at times but that does not mean your mind must stay in the cage
Allow your thoughts to go free
Free to soar above the pain, confusion, and fear
Free to see yourself from an unanchored perspective
Where the beauty is abundant
Simply Chronically Ill 
Such a lovely and positive piece.

I LOVE this! I have an anxiety disorder, minor but enough to through me into an, ‘I am going to die in two minutes’-panic attack!!! I use visualization a lot to calm the heck down.
