A healing crisis is not uncommon, especially these days, with all the changes taking place that require new perspectives to penetrate the core origination of our experiences. As we continue to shift into the new, any unfinished business is going to surface so that we don’t drag it along with us, the things we “have” been working on will be detoxing out in that process, as well as, our bodies are going to reflect the messages more clearly to us in the state of their health so that we pay attention to what needs tending to. We are seeing that many are also deciding to leave this incarnation because the vibrations of what the new asks of us may be more than can be managed, they have completed their parts, or can be of more assistance to the collective new energy in another form.

Cancer is one of many dis-eases that may manifest due to varying factors and that many have been challenged with. There are different types of cancers and each will have varying emotional, psychological, spiritual and physical core probable causes, all working simultaneously.

According to Louise L. Hay (author of You Can Heal Your Life and survivor of terminal cancer, which she cured herself) cancer, in general, stems from “deep hurt, longstanding resentment, deep secret or grief eating away at the self, carrying hatreds, and the feeling of “what’s the use?”  She has found that if one works at the core of whichever of these issues are feeding the cancer, then it can disappear along with its root cause. “I lovingly forgive and release all of the past. I choose to fill my world with joy. I love and approve of myself” – these are some life affirming starting points to repeat daily, as one processes the deep core originations.

Karol K. Truman, author of Feelings Buried Alive Never Die…concurs with these same ideas and includes her own list of probable causes for different types of cancers to include: “intense depression, anger or ill will, repressed anger, feeling an emptiness in life, unresolved resentments, feelings of hostility being suppressed, rejecting the self, feelings of despair, feelings of loneliness being repressed, poor relationship with parents, inability to cope with a traumatic loss, feelings of hopelessness/helplessness being repressed, mental depression, holding on to deep anger, resentment, hate, revenge or jealousy, not open to “light” or divine help, sub-conscious death wish – no desire to live.”

“My research has shown me that when emotions are expressed–which is to say that the biochemicals that are the substrate of emotion are flowing freely–all systems are united and made whole. When emotions are repressed, denied, not allowed to be whatever they may be, our network pathways get blocked, stopping the flow of the vital feel-good, unifying chemicals that run both our biology and our behavior.

~ Dr. Candace B. Pert

There are many who can assist with uncovering and working through these core originating factors, but the key is the soul acceptance, openness and readiness of each individual and where they are, on their chosen paths.

And of course dietary changes can also aid the healing processes immensely which usually involves incorporating a plant-based diet, green juices and other alkalizing protocol, as studies have proven that the high acidity levels is part of the root cause feeding cancer. And this supports the findings of Louise and Karol, as those repressed and lingering emotional energies are stress-producing and create acidity in the body. It’s proven that stress equates to high acidic levels in the body – a breeding ground for dis-ease. When one is at peace and balanced, they are more alkaline and integrated.

There is always hope and nothing is a lost cause or life sentence, as there are many ways we can support ourselves and any moment is a miracle in the waiting. We have many alternatives these days to compliment any given choice of treatment. Alternative methods, like Reiki is one of those complimentary treatments to any and all other modalities, including western medicine. It is not meant to replace professional medical advice and Reiki practitioners do not diagnose or prescribe medication, but it can help improve the effectiveness and benefits of other treatment options and helps to stimulate the body’s own natural healing abilities.

I found this information from Stress Solutions ~ Holistic Assessment & Practical Tools on Eastern vs. Western Medicine to be insightful and helpful in understanding some of the differences between the two: http://www.stresssolutions.info/vrs.htm In this way, one can have an integrated, conscious and whole, balanced perspective and approach to treatment choices for what the perfect ingredient mix that is most supportive to your recipe of life is.

Reiki (pronounced ray-key), a Japanese word meaning Universal Life Force Energy, which permeates all living things is a gentle and powerful system of natural healing that reduces stress, induces relaxation, supports intentions and provides many other healing benefits through the channeling of this energy. As a very powerful aid to personal growth, Reiki works on a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual level. It can support any intention, person or animal you desire to help, while simultaneously activating self-empowerment. Reiki is based upon a loving, nurturing touch or channeling of energy, with an intention to heal, and can be refined for personal use and in our service to others.

Because it works at the core to support the re-balancing and healing of the basis for the experiences and dis-ease we are having, it is very powerful in aiding in the treatment of cancer and any other undesired experiences that are present. Reiki helps balance, harmonize and restore your energy systems by using the energy centers in the palms of the hands, which are placed in varying positions on, or over, the body. It is not necessary that a client be physically present for a session, as Reiki can also be administered from a distance. This creates the same results and helps alleviate the roots of ill-health, while stimulating a great feeling of general well-being. It is a beautiful compliment to support those healing cancer, as it has shown to be helpful in reducing side effects from treatments, providing more peace and calm to encourage healing, allows the body to restore, rebalance and strengthen during the process and provides nurturing and increased healing inducement.

Some other benefits of Reiki include:

• Promotes relaxation and reduces stress and tension

Here is some more information regarding Reiki as support for cancer from Penn Medicine’s Focus on Cancer blog, where they share on a wide variety of cancer-related topics. They wrote a great blog that I am sharing here for readers’ convenience and if you want to see the whole blog and their site, click the link after the information I am pasting in here:

“Penn’s Abramson Cancer Center is a national cancer center in Philadelphia providing comprehensive cancer treatment, clinical trials for cancer and is a cancer research center. The National Cancer Institute has designated the Abramson Cancer Center a Comprehensive Cancer Center, one of only 40 such cancer centers in the United States.

Kimberly Fleisher, MEd and Reiki master, is the founder and director of The Reiki School + Clinic in Philadelphia. Kim specializes in Reiki education, particularly in the healthcare field and is the team leader for Penn Medicine’s Volunteer Reiki Program, providing Reiki sessions to patients receiving cancer treatments.

For patients undergoing treatment for cancer, the stress can be overwhelming. Finding tools that help you stay calm are invaluable.

Reiki is a gentle therapeutic practice… Reiki is facilitated through light touch and is an easy addition to most medical treatments to help many cancer patients handle the stress of cancer treatment.

Here are five ways Reiki practice can help reduce stress during cancer treatment:

REIKI SESSIONS ARE BALANCING.

After receiving a Reiki session, it’s not uncommon for the recipient to say, “I feel like myself again.”

Reiki creates an opportunity for patients to restore inner harmony and a sense of connection with their inner selves that might seem lost during the whirlwind of cancer treatment.

One cancer patient recently remarked after a session “…it connected me to a place inside myself that I forgot all about.”

REIKI SESSIONS CREATE A SPACE FOR YOU TO SLOW DOWN AND RELAX.

During a Reiki session, patients sit comfortably or lie down while the practitioner places their hands gently on or right above different areas on the body for several minutes at a time. During a Reiki a session, there is nothing that a patient has to do. It’s a space for the patient to rest, and to focus on their well being.

Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh often refers to the importance of stopping as a way to cultivate inner healing:

“At first, ’stopping’ may look like a kind of resistance to modern life, but it is not… Humankind’s survival depends on our ability to stop rushing. Stopping is not only to stop the negative, but to allow positive healing to take place.”

REIKI SESSIONS ARE NURTURING.

How often do you allow yourself the space to be cared for? During a session, patients are totally immersed in the experience of care through the light touch of the practitioner’s hands.

Most people report that sessions are very soothing and supportive. Whether someone learns Reiki practice to treat him or herself, or receives a session from a trained practitioner, the time spent practicing Reiki creates a nourishing space for healing.

A patient noted: “It had a very calming effect on me. I could actually feel my body relaxing. I was able to let go of a lot of my anxiety.”

REIKI SESSIONS ARE NON-INVASIVE.

Reiki is a completely non-manipulative and non-diagnostic adjunct to conventional care. A practitioner doesn’t press, poke or ask a patient to ingest something. They don’t talk about cancer, or how to fix cancer.  They don’t need to know specific information about your cancer treatment, or any other thing that’s going on with you, and they won’t touch you anywhere where you don’t like to be touched.

A Reiki practitioner simply places their hands on or slightly above your body in spots where you are comfortable being touched and they allow the session to unfold naturally.

Reiki sessions promote well being while giving patients the opportunity to be completely in control of the session, empowered to receive only what feels good to them.

REIKI SESSIONS CAN HELP WITH SLEEP AND RESTORATION.

Most people know that rest and sleep are critical components for allowing the body to heal. One of the most commonly reported benefits heard from clients is that Reiki sessions help them sleep better.

People often find Reiki sessions restorative and rejuvenating. When you sleep better and feel rested, you feel better in general and are then more capable of dealing with life’s stressers.”
