How can you compliment the treatments your doctor offers so that you can keep your mind steady, your spirit up and at the same time get in touch with your body’s natural healing ability?
* I have worked for many years with people, like yourselves, who are facing a life threatening cancer diagnosis.
You may be thinking, "I could never sit still for hours at a time… I don’t have the discipline for something like meditation!"
Well, I’m not so sure! With a little help, most people can manage a few minutes to sit quietly and just watch what’s going on. It’s as easy as that! Or one can practice some helpful techniques when lying in bed, sitting in the garden or going for a walk.
In my eBook "Threatened by Cancer? Meditation DOES Help!" I have combined my experience with the stories of six people (yes, six ordinary people) who took part in my research study into the use of meditation as a healing strategy for cancer.

Curiosity got the better of her and it was only after she realized her own mortality that she really got into the practice of meditation. Six years later and officially a "survivor", she’s hooked!
David had recently commenced meditation practice to reduce stress from his high powered job prior to his diagnosis. When diagnosed with a brain tumor, he determined to get into the meditation more seriously and to experience it at a deeper level and, at the same time, reduce the stress of his work and illness.
Lorna was diagnosed with breast cancer in her late thirties She decided to rely entirely on meditation and holistic healing ideas of working with her mind, immune system and spirituality, rather… Read more…
