In the past couple of weeks, I’ve had several patients
\ncome to me with new diagnoses of cancer, and tumors and
\ncysts that COULD be cancer.<\/p>\n
What they all have in common is cells growing
\nabnormally.<\/p>\n
Given the common interpretation of cancer as something
\nthat invades, takes over, and has a life of its own
\nthat can replace yours, it’s no surprise that my
\npatients are scared. <\/p>\n
Here are some of the approaches I see: <\/p>\n
– obsessing about it
\n – being angry about it
\n – wanting it gone
\n – forming a loving, ownership relationship with it, as
\n if it were a child or a pet
\n – trying to figure out what to do about it
\n – visualizing other cells in the body killing it
\n – trying not to think about it<\/p>\n
Do you notice something all these approaches have in
\ncommon?<\/p>\n
They are all about “it.” They all make the condition
\nreal, give it energy and attention. Based on what we
\nknow about the Law of Attraction, we know that
\nattention to anything– no matter what kind of
\nattention–makes it increase in our experience.<\/p>\n
But if you believe cancer, tumors, and cysts have a
\nlife of their own and have invaded your body, it’s
\npretty much impossible not to give them attention.<\/p>\n
I’d like to give you another way to think about them.<\/p>\n
By the time abnormally growing cells are detectible,
\nthere are already hundreds of thousands, millions, or
\neven billions of cells. In most cases, they show up as
\na surprise to the person who has them. As far as I can
\ntell, most of us don’t get a particular illness because
\nwe were putting a lot of attention on that illness
\nbefore it manifested.<\/p>\n
Once it’s there, our attention to it gives it increased
\nmomentum. But what created it in the first place, if it
\nwasn’t our attention to the illness?<\/p>\n
You might believe it was something in your DNA, or all
\nthe toxic stuff in our environment. <\/p>\n
How do you feel if you believe these things?<\/p>\n
Powerless, or angry, right? So, those beliefs are
\nstressful, and not very helpful for creating health.<\/p>\n
Try this on: <\/p>\n
Whether it’s cancer, a benign cyst or tumor, or any
\nother illness, the manifestation of the illness was
\npreceded by an out-of-alignment energetic pattern that
\nyou were practicing for quite some time. <\/p>\n
It is YOUR energy, not some invading force, that is
\ncreating the illness.<\/p>\n
Maybe you didn’t notice it, because it had become
\n“normal” for you to be anxious, frustrated, angry,
\nscared, sad. Maybe you were used to feeling powerless,
\nashamed, guilty, blameful. Maybe it was a habit of
\nyours to find things to complain about and criticize in
\nalmost every situation.<\/p>\n
If everyone you know does these things too, they do
\nseem normal. But that doesn’t make them exempt from the
\nLaw of Attraction.<\/p>\n
Most people react to the idea that it’s their own
\nenergy causing the illness by getting defensive and
\nfeeling blamed.<\/p>\n
That’s because they are still thinking of the illness
\nas a problem.<\/p>\n
But it’s only a problem if you think it is. That’s what
\nyou think if you’ve got the belief that it’s got power
\nof its own, or the belief that you are incapable of
\nchanging your beliefs, and therefore the energetic
\npattern that is creating it.<\/p>\n
I won’t deny that for most of us, it’s some work to let
\ngo of our firm grip on dearly held beliefs, even if
\nthey are causing us excruciating pain. <\/p>\n
Of course, the belief that it’s hard to let go of our
\nbeliefs doesn’t help! <\/p>\n
The most debilitating belief I know of is the belief in
\none’s own powerlessness to change one’s beliefs, and
\ntherefore, one’s manifestations.<\/p>\n
Really, why would you want to hold on to THAT one?<\/p>\n
Personally, I’d rather take responsibility for creating
\nmy reality, and get on with doing just that on purpose.<\/p>\n
