Part 3 My cancer journey – healing us all!

by Leave a Comment

Welcome to part 3, the final leg of my healing journey with cancer. Cancer was a big wake up call for me and helped me focus all my energy into learning how to be well. My healing included body, mind and spirit work – and always will. I embraced emotional healing – something that had been missing before. I used modalities that worked for me – and found my team. And I learned that all these tools can help anyone with chronic health issues. My journey has made me a better healer – of myself and others – and a happier person. Please read on to hear the conclusion to my healing journey and the set of beliefs I now hold about all of us and how we can be well.

cancer healing nature meditation grounding nurturing breasts

nurturing ourselves is up to us!

Today’s blog – part 2 of my journey with cancer – outlines the healing modalities I used for body, mind and spirit that were crucial to my recovery….

The chickpeas add a bit of protein to the dish, without the need for meat or fish. There’s extra calcium from the anchovies (any edible fish bones are packed with calcium). And it’s nice to have an easy dinner that can be whipped up in one pan in minutes!…
