Thoughts From My Gift of Cancer

A Journey of Self Recognition and Inner Healing

"Having spent a lifetime emulating sainthood in order to feel acceptable and loved, the grand illusion of health and serenity was finally shattered by the discovery of cancer. From Management Accountant in the MOD to Holistic Healer in the forest Sara claimed her life back by taking responsibility for creating her own dis-ease albeit unknowingly. So began the work of uncovering and untangling old, distorted and limiting beliefs blocking her life force to ultimately unveil the truth of Who She Really Is."

I began writing as part of my own self healing process. It's the unexpressed thoughts and feelings stuck and held in our energy fields which inhibit the free flow of vital chi energy and eventually lead to dis-ease. Giving myself a quiet, safe and easy outlet for those thoughts and feelings was an important part of my own return to wholeness and health.

So I got into the practice of writing thought flows down and then dared to share some of them on my website blog as the next stage of my healing. Having begun loving myself no matter what thoughts came forth from my wounded inner child I was ready to be witnessed by the world.

Then over the years as my healing practice in Finland grew I found myself repeating all the same thoughts and guidance to my guests regardless of the "problem" they had presented with for one of my Holistic Healing Holiday weeks.

I felt certain that if I could write all these things down in a book and make it possible for folk to read the book they wouldn't have to travel if they didn't want to and it would be there for them to dip into whenever they wanted or felt they needed.

I didn't want to write a "How To" book because I recognised that we are all individuals on unique life paths and journeys. There is no Holy Grail at the end of our quest and so a "How To" book was inappropriate.

So instead I created the book in the same sense I create my healing weeks. The information and tangible energy flow is here and each guest hears and takes only that which resonates with them.

Because the book isn't written as a "How To" it doesn't create the possibility of failure; feeling safe is an important part of self healing. Everyone can just read the book without kick starting their subconscious defences because the book requires nothing from them.

 

The book is also quite clearly written as my opinion, my own thoughts and I don't presume to know it all or have the "right" answer. You'll see from the book that I don't even believe in "right" answers! But again, the book is written about my thoughts and my words and my deeds so that it doesn't kick start anyone's subconscious defences and it doesn't push anyone's buttons……unless of course it does!

One very important thing about the book is that just like the Universal energy it isn't linear! The thoughts are circular; they fit into a circle with no beginning and no end. The mind works in a linear way believing that if it starts at point A and learns B then it will advance to point C and so on. This book wasn't written to suit the mind!

It was my mind taking over and running the show that erroneously took me to cancer in the first place so it cannot be my mind that releases me (although it still has an important role to play whilst I remain in human form!). There is an energy in the book beyond mind as if the very symbols (letters) create a unique message that our spirit can recognise.

 

 

On my own self healing path I recognised how I wove a spiral, coming back round to the same defences and blocks that I had previously supposed I'd dealt with only to recognise that I was now experiencing them at a much deeper level.

So too with the book. If you read it round and round it takes you deeper.

And of course the final important cosmic disclaimer…..I could be wrong!

When I happily accept that I could be wrong I naturally leave myself open to discovering more…..and so my journey continues and the thoughts keep on coming….

I hope that yours do too. If I had one desire for the book to achieve something in this world it would be that it caused folk to have open thoughts about their own beliefs, choices, responsibility and creations.
