When you think about your healing, what feelings would you like to activate in yourself?

I feel confident in my ability to create more time for healing

I feel relaxed because I am putting myself first

I feel a sense of deep healing and rejuvenation

I feel good about the healing treatments I have followed

I feel a sense of ease and security about my body

I feel a deep inner strength and confidence.

YOUR BELIEFS ARE KEY TO HOW YOU FEEL.

If you believe you are healing, you will feel more confident.

If you believe that your body is getting stronger, you will feel a greater sense of connection and trust.

If you believe that you are getting better, you will feel more peace

ARE YOUR BELIEFS HURTING YOUR RECOVERY?

Many people do experience post treatment issues related to chemotherapy, radiation, drugs, and surgery. Fatigue is a common side effect of chemotherapy and many people experience depression.  Knowing how to manage your thoughts and beliefs in regards to negative physical side effects, can be the difference between stressful living and peaceful acceptance that can influence healing.

Kathy Latour, writes about the devastating effects of cancer fatigue in an article in Cure Magazine .  The negative side effects from cancer treatment, can be so stressful, that it becomes very easy to believe our life will be difficult. We succumb to the limitations born out of our beliefs, and hinder healing beyond cancer.

We can learn to change our beliefs and feel better, even when experiencing negative side effects from treatment. We can learn to change our thinking, and activate feelings of well-being.

Ask yourself if your beliefs are hurting your post cancer recovery. Find ways to shift your perception and feel better. You have the power to engender deep awareness for fuller health.

Do you wish upon a star hoping that your cancer will never come back again? Do you hope that all is well? We all want the certainty that we can control our life and all the events. We want to feel the security that we will be healthy. Sometimes we don’t want to take the responsibility or make the effort, or we don’t know how. It is easier to wish. It is easier to hope. What would it be like if we took the responsibility to make the effort and be part of our healing?  What if we focused on one step at a time, and learned how to be empowered?

The Healing Beyond Cancer is a method, assisting you to tap into your own inner wisdom. When we understand that we are responsible for creating changes, then we are motivated to take action, one step at a time. The focus is not on curing cancer, but more on curing the toxic ways we think and feel. We take responsibility and learn how to shift into a higher vibration, which creates a more relaxed state of being. Then, we are our healing, beyond Cancer.

Yes, we can attract what we want in our life, but it takes effort, trust, and a proven method to help us shift our energy. Nothing happens just by wishing. When we shift our energy, we become clearer. Many more possibilities open up to us. Life become full and we are moving beyond our fears, beyond our limits of thought.

“If you take the responsibility for your life you can start changing it. Slow will be the change, only in the course of time will you start; moving into the world of light and crystallization, but once you are crystallized you will know what real revolution is. Then share your revolution with others; it has to go that way, from heart to heart.”

I slowly found my footing, and I began to face the news that I would need major surgery. I had never been under the knife, and I was terrified. I decided I had to find a way to create a space of calmness for my healing and recovery.

Before the surgery date I asked my surgeon to play specific music for me, and not to talk about cancer during my operation. I visualized how I wanted the surgery to go and what outcome I desired. I meditated on a peaceful and serene scene and sent energy to my brain and body. I relaxed, and then I wrote down everything I envisioned and felt. I wrote down everything as if it had already happened.

Most people think that you have to visualize only in your head. For many people this is difficult, and writing down the visualization, helps to anchor your vision into your body. This is a powerful and effective visualization technique. The Healing Beyond Cancer Program can help you to learn this technique.

I envisioned myself calm and relaxed. I saw my surgeon smile and reassure me that everything would be fine. I saw myself being wheeled into the operating room, talking to my medical team, as they helped me feel more comfortable. I envisioned the operation going smoothly, and the healing music I wanted was playing. I saw that my surgeon was able to cut away all the cancer cells. I saw myself being wheeled up to recovery, knowing that everything was perfect. I felt peaceful.

Hours after the surgery, my surgeon came into my hospital room and told me that everything had gone well. She later told me that she was a bit skeptical about playing the music, but saw that my vital signs and my recovery went very well. She had a better appreciation for how meditation and visualization are important for healing.

Can you see how The Healing Beyond Cancer Program can help you visualize?

When you take the time to meditate and write down your vision, you are creating an energetic directive. You are creating an intention.

We have the capacity to create an intention that can have a powerful impact on our well being.

The more focused you are on how you want to feel, the more that becomes a reality.

Practice every day, by envisioning what outcome you would like for the day and how you want to feel.

Take time each day to visualize what you want for the day.  See it as if the day has already happened.  Focus your energy on the feelings you have envisioned.

This is a practice that will take time, but soon you will be able to set your day in motion by using techniques to help you create peace and well being.

The Sun is shining today..tomorrow snow is predicted. I actually love it when it snows..the quietness, and womb like sacredness of change. Time seems to slow down, and each snowflake is a mirror of the dance of life…just being part of the whole.

I haven’t disappeared, at least not in the spiritual sense…I have been busy keeping my feet on the ground and helping people who are living with cancer.. the support groups are growing and I am learning the importance of how social media is the way to help in the promotion of The Healing Beyond Cancer programs.

So, I will be posting more, learning how to use social media, and be more focused on writing.  I realize, but forget, how important it is to slow down and rest. My mind goes so fast, keeping busy. So busy that I am not taking the time to stop, and just be. Exhaling and inhaling. Walking, laughing, and enjoying the moment. The simple little bits of everyday life.

When I remember to “manage” my thoughts and just be a witness…my body relaxes. My breath is deep. My mind quiets and I hear the silence. Energy surges through my body, and my spirit is revitalized. Suddenly the sun is brighter.

“Real calmness, authentic calmness, arises out of meditation — not out of cultivating a character but out of awareness. Meditation means awareness. Becoming aware of your anger dissolves it and dissolves it from your very depths; it even disappears from your unconscious. Then you are really calm, calm from the center to the circumference. Your whole being is calm. Then nothing can disturb you, neither life nor death. Nothing can disturb you.
Only when nothing can disturb you, when it becomes impossible to be disturbed, when even if you want to be disturbed you become incapable of it, then something really valuable has happened. It can happen only through awareness. It is not a question of practicing a certain character, it is not a question of pretending. It is a question of inner mutation, a radical change, a change at the very core of your being. Then it radiates to your circumference too, it transforms the circumference automatically.

It is as when you bring light in a dark room: darkness will disappear but the painting on the wall, the beautiful furniture in the room — they will not disappear. In fact in darkness they were not there at all because you could not see them. It made no difference whether there was a beautiful Van Gogh painting on the wall or not, it was all dark. In darkness it was almost as if absent. As you bring in light, even a small candle, the beauty of the painting suddenly explodes. Darkness disappears because darkness is false, but the painting cannot disappear; it is a reality.”

Chapter #13

I remind myself to be quiet,  open and receptive. I try to be patient, open to possibilities.  My healing practice draws my focus inward, and loyally  presents all that shows up in my outer world.  The body aches and the Soul inspires. I am reminded of the preciousness of this life. It is too easy to forget.  Since my cancer, I am more attuned to my body and my Soul than I was before the cancer.  I have been looking for a special “product” to come my way  to promote health and well-being of mind/ body and Soul!!   And, I found it!  My body sings with this incredible  nutritious whole food, my heart beats with thanks, and my Soul soars.    Mila,  is a proprietary blend of chia, that has the safest and highest concentration of Omega-3 fatty acids, Antioxidants, Fiber and Phytonutrients of any source. I feel energized and  balanced, and I am happy to  know that I am providing my body with the best source of nutrients. Omega-3 fatty acids   play a vital role in our body, in the maintenance and enhancement of the immune system. Clinical studies have shown the importance of Omega-3 in the protection against  breast, colon, and prostate cancers.   I was so impressed with this product that I began to share it with everyone I know. The product is being introduced through LifeMax, a company with a Vision to “change the health and the wealth of the world”.  I had to check this out.   I attracted  a company that is offering an incredible opportunity and an exclusive  product for health and well-being.  As I mentioned in my previous posting, when we hold the energy of abundance,  we are not  affected by the negative energy of the economics of the outer world, and we attract possibilites that can change our life tremendously.  I am grateful for the ways in which the Universe supports our intentions.   I am  part of this awesome global expansion and I am aligned with a vehicle that supports worldly contribution through the energy of love and healing.   I am Nourishing my body and Feeding my Soul. Please feel free to contact me about more information, as it is my intention to share with you the gifts that come into my world.  Visit my other site  www.sonnyrose.LifeMax.net

Our logical mind agrees that things are bad, and we go into an inner recession. We become tight, with our energy, and our creativity. We think we better hunker down and brace ourself for the worst case scenario. We limit our expectations and settle for what is….

What if….you stood in your Power and saw things from a different perspective?

What if you saw this time as an opportunity to challenge yourself and stand in your Power?

We can connect to a larger Vision and become aware of the changes that need to happen on our planet and within our communities. We can take this time to align with what is important in regards to our values and beliefs. We can energize our own transformation during a time of financial crisis. We can manage our fears and stretch ourselves into our Greatness, and connect to the trust that all is well. We can begin to relax and breathe in a sense of peace. We can ride this wave, and stand in our Power.

We have an inner strength that keeps us focused on whatever we want to create and manifest, no matter what is happening with the outside world. The trick is to know how to manage your emotions and stand in your Power, so you can create your life of prosperity and joy!

I remember, 7 years ago.  It was my brother’s birthday and a few days after Thanksgiving, and I was being prepped for a mastectomy. I was scared! That Thanksgiving was a mixture of many feelings. My overall experience felt as if I were living someone else’s life.

The connection to my own life came from the gratitude I felt for my family and friends.  Home cooked warm casseroles delivered to my door!  Bouts of laughter shared with friends who could stand listening to my sick humor.  Hugs from those who knew I was scared. Cards of good wishes delivered daily. This was good medicine. The power of positive thinking and lots of laughter!

Today I give thanks for my life. I give thanks for all those people who are trying to find cures for cancer. I am thankful for my family and friendships. Cancer didn’t happen to me. It gave me an opportunity to feel more deeply. It gave me the opportunity to go to the edge and evaluate what is truly important. Cancer reminds me to live fully and be in joy. For this, I am grateful.

I felt that surge of love again, from so many people who want to support me in my efforts to bring attention to the fact that healing begins after cancer treatment.  I had reached out to many  friends and  healers, asking for help in spreading the word about a free workshop I was presenting for women post cancer treatment.  It was amazing, to see how the energy quickly mobilized and information about my workshop was posted on  websites of people I never met, and delivered into countless email boxes! This kind of energy is part of the healing.  We  are raising our vibration and connecting from a deep Universal place of oneness. It is this energy that I hold sacred, as part of The Healing Beyond Cancer. We are connecting to Spirit, however we want to name It.

The workshop was presented last night in a beautiful Yoga studio, Mystic Fitness. We lit candles, listened to healing music and sat in a circle. The group process began with conversation among the participants asking each other,  “What kind of cancer treatment did you have?” ,  to a group  meditative experience of inner  peace, followed at the end of the workshop, by  a declarative statement, ” You need to tell every hospital about your program!”

My intention, last night, was not to focus on the treatment or the cancer ordeal we have gone through, but more importantly, how to shift our vibration and direct our energy to the excitement of what comes next.   I am grateful to those who held the energy, vision, support, and  gave with their generosity of spirit,  to help in the creation of this experience last night.

Before I went to sleep last night , I reached for the packet, tied with purple satin ribbon, and held it next to my Heart.

I returned to my surgeon’s office a week later, feeling reluctant, yet compelled to deal with ‘what comes next’….I was semi-present listening to all the medical jargon, but obviously present enough to remember every emotional detail of the ordeal. That day turned into more days of numbness, fear, loss, and a general disorientation and dis-connection to my life as I had known it before the diagnosis.

I remember sorting through reams of information, talking to as many people as I could, trying to find support and answers…I realized very quickly, that this was another personal journey that would challenge me to pay attention to my inner guidance and get as clear as I could in order to make the multitude of decisions that would forever impact my life. This was the biggest test of my life!

I rode the wave of uncertainty and hope for the next 15 months. I lost a lot of weight. I hated the mouth sores. Chocolate ice-cream was my favorite meal. I cherished my friends and family. My cats gave me comfort. I actually liked my wig. The crisp cold winter air lifted my spirit and I became part of the Universe as I stared at the December stars. I felt a deep and compassionate connection to everyone.  Every time I sat through another infusion, I received hugs from my oncology nurses, and I wrapped their warm smiles around me like a blanket of love. I faced my fears as I climbed slowly to the top of the mountain, and I could see the beginnings of a new horizon.  Everyone told me how strong I was…I didn’t know what that meant. I just put one foot in front of the next, and continued the journey.

As I look back, I realize that I didn’t try to be courageous…it was a part of my being that seemed to just be there.  At our deepest core, is a part of our being that is ever-present and non-judging. My cancer journey opened me to many dimensions and many opportunities to be present with all of my being; the fears, the anxiety, the unknown, and the possibilities. This was all part of my journey.

It amazes me how, 7 years later, as I sit at this writing, the fullness of my journey is still unfolding.  I try to live fully; challenging my limiting beliefs,  and continue the practice of  living intentionally.  Sometimes I feel the courage, and sometimes I have to manage my fear. It is all part of this wonderful life journey.
