Loving Cancer: My Healing Super Power!
As of July 15, 2021, I will be 7 years cancer free. Only 26% of the women experiencing the type of cancer I had make it to the five year mark. Also I have had no recurrences and I am on no maintenance medications.
In my two-time award winning book My Ticket to Ride: From Cancer to Flourishing, I share how and why I used love to heal.
Once diagnosed, I knew I would never engage in the mainstream war-on-cancer verbiage. My conscious choice was to embrace and love the cancer and the journey it created. Why love? Because love is the highest frequency in the universe. Keeping my frequency as high as I could would benefit me. Using words like hating, fighting, killing would lower my frequencies. This would not benefit me.
My choice to include love in my cancer toolkit offered benefits that fear could not. Love nourished and strengthened me. Fear did not..
Was I excited about this new unanticipated life occurrence of cancer? No.
Was I going to do my best to use the cancer situation as a tool for expanding and growing my life? Yes.
I knew the impact of how my intentions, thoughts, words, and actions created my life’s outcomes. Believing life does not happen to me; life happens for me, I centered on the power of love to heal. This kept me focused on hope and strength. I made a conscious decision to have no place at my table for fear and its insidious aim to destroy.
Conventional cancer approaches encourages us to be warriors. If I was going to be a warrior, it would be a love warrior. Thinking and speaking about the cancer from a place of love allowed me to remain proactive and calm. This kept the cancer and fear from directing my life.
The love focus supported me in knowing something joyous can come of having cancer even if I should die. Transition from life to death is natural. Even though I wasn’t ready to die, death was not my enemy.
I am grateful and appreciative to feel and know how powerful love is for healing. I am grateful and appreciative to feel and know how powerful loving cancer changed my life. My life was full and rich. Now it is even more so.
