NEW! SELF HEALING STORY #1--CORN MAIDEN

I Had been successfully using self-healing methods on myself and with my counseling clients for a few years when I came across my first cancer case. This was back in 1977. James (I will call him) was in the hospital with an advanced case of liver cancer. His wife took me to visit him there.

They were a wealthy older couple with two grown children and a large extended family. They had a year 'round home on the ocean with a large family compound comprised of several old New England homes where other members of their family came to stay off and on.

But the patriarch was in the later stages of cancer and his wife and the rest of the family were open to trying anything at that point. So they called me in. At that time little was known about Mind/Body healing among the general public.

So I arrived at the hospital room  as "Corn Maiden", so to speak. Not in costume but bearing with me an ear of fresh corn. I also brought a copy of Louise Hay's seminal work--Heal Your Body--and my own small treatise on Self-Healing Skills (available soon at this website.)

I first explained to him that all illnesses come from the mental level of our being first. They arise in response to a limiting belief we have adopted that does not "nourish" us spiritually. Certain negative emotions then precipitate out of those limiting beliefs.

With the ear of corn I demonstrated to him that in order to get to the spiritual food he needed, we would have to peel away the now unnecessary layers of limiting beliefs--the leaves of protection he had needed for a certain type of growth. Those beliefs I pointed out may have served him for a while, perhaps to shield him while he grew to a place where he could face the cob, containing many associated kernals of truth at the center of his psyche. When one is not ready to face the truth, however, it is premature to peel away those leaves. The kernals will be unripe and will not serve as nourishment.

So I invited him to contemplate the leaves of protection that he might have. The leaves will be things that bother oneself about others usually. They are issues that belong to us, things about ourselves we don't like, but are unwilling to face. We project them away from ourself to protect our self. They are actually projections from one's own limiting beliefs about one's self. So it's nothing to be ashamed of.

 We are all perfectly imperfect. Look at a forest. Is there a perfect tree there? No. Some seem healthier than others, but all have flaws. God made them all, and people like trees are all imperfect to a degree. It's allowed. It's needed. But noticing our limitations and asking for something better and expecting it is very important too. It allows the Universe to expand. So trees and people allow the useless to drop away and be recycled in the ground of our collective being ( the earth as it were), and in the right season we grow new branches or leaves. And eventually we die and transform to something that has gained a great deal from our experience in life.

 But, I pointed out to him, first we see our limitations in others.  They are mirrors for us.  So I then asked him. "What is it about others that bothers you most?" I suggested he look for a thread running through all of the people over his lifetime that had upset, or frightened or saddened him... or  perhpas just annoyed him. What it was about them. Was there a lowest common denominator that pulled them together?

Then when he seemed ready the protective layers that he had built up around that sore place and to face the truth with courage, I invited him to look COMPASSIONATELY at what he had been seeing in others that might really also be about him. Then I left.

It was only a few days later that James called me and asked me to to visit him again in the hospital. This time I brought with my dowsing rods. I can see people's aura's but I used dowsing rods then to show people their own aura's (electromagnetic field.) They were quite effective at first. I no longer use them and do not recommend them or other similar tools of divination for reasons I will speak about in another blog.

When I arrived, I immediately noticed that his aura was larger and his color was better already. I had hardly taken a seat when he said he had identified the main problem in his life and had been contemplating how it might be affecting him emotionally. I could tell he had made some distinctive progress already. And truth be told, all the information about self-healing is available within ourselves--without needing anyone else to lead us...but outside guidance can be helpful.

I sat down next to his hospital bed and soon he was unburdening himself to me about the problem he had identified. He said that he had been very worried about his adult children--especially his son. He had many fears abut his career. However, his son (and others in his large family) would take no advice from him. This left him feeling powerless and angry. But he was beginning to realize that he needed to let go of them and allow them to make their own decisions and the best thing he could do was just love them unconditionally--and stop worrying about them. I agreed completely and added that our fears for those we love actually increase the likelihood of their experiencing just what we don't want for them.

I also emphasized that we all live in a safe and loving Universe which turns every crisis into a positive opportunity for spiritual growth. I also added that we each have an Entity Self who is there to act as a guardian angel to us if we call on them. So simply knowing that would help him and his children to relax more and to begin to bring more positive outcomes to themselves.

It was largely a control issue for him. His ego mind felt that he had to struggle for control over his son in order to protect him. He deeply resented that his son would not allow him any control over his life, or listen to any advice. (This was quite understandable since, in fac,t the son was doing very well in every way. But the father had been a super achiever and his son did not quite measure up to his unreasonable standards.

So realizing that it was not his responsibility and not really within his power to help his son in the way he had been trying, was a great relief to him. Then father and son sat down and had a very cathartic heart to heart talk that improved their relationship tremendously.

James was so improved after that--  in both appearance and demeanor-- that his doctors decided to   send him home for a while. He and his family were overjoyed--as was I.

I then had a couple of more suggestions for him to try out at home.

To help further his new positive direction I invited him to focus more on himself --on his own enjoyment of life. I asked what he had liked doing when he was younger? "Play the piano." He stated quickly. Then I asked him what he liked to play and he shared that he loved classical music. I asked if he had played much in recent years and learned that he had not. So I suggested that he take it up again, daily--and that he add creating his own original music to his repertoire. Any artistic expression done in free form is extremely healing.

I also suggested that he go out each day that there was good weather and sit under a giant oak tree that stood on his large property (one that included both ocean beach and forest.) He did this as well.

About a week later he returned to the hospital as an outpatient for further testing--and was totally amazed when he received the results of that a while later. HE WAS COMPLETELY CLEAR OF ALL CANCER!

Unfortunately, the doctors convinced him to have further radiation and chemotherapy, by saying that some few cancer cells might be "lurking" and hiding--even though they could see none-- and they needed to destroy them all. Both his family and I advised against such debilitating treatments. But he allowed himself to be swayed by the doctors and underwent the unnecessary (to my mind) treatments, which turned his hand black where they administered the chemicals, and  made him quite ill.

However,  once they were done, he quickly regained his full health and the cancer never returned.

NEWS FLASH! CHINESE PSYCHIATRIST CURES CANCER

Renowned Chinese psychiatrist, Tien-Sheng Hsu is using  psycho-spiritual methods to cure cancer. His work--like mine--is based, in part, on the information we both gathered from the Seth books, as channeled by Jane Roberts. Our major premises are the same. See more about him at http://drhsu.seth101.com/category/exercises/. Read more of my comments on his techniques at the page entitled "CANCER CURES OF OTHERS."
