INTRODUCTION

Inthisnewlyrevisededition,IwanttosharewithyouoneofthereasonswhyIknowthatdiseasecanbereversedbysimplyreversingmentalpatterns.

Anumberofyearsago,Iwasdiagnosedwithcancerofthevagina.WithmybackgroundofbeingrapedwhenIwasfiveyearsoldandbeingabatteredchild,itwasnowonderthatI’dmanifestedcancerinthevaginalarea.Havingalreadybeenateacherofhealingforseveralyears,IwasveryawarethatIwasnowbeinggivenachancetopracticeonmyselfandprovewhatI’dbeenteachingothers.

Likeanyonewhohasjustbeentoldthattheyhavecancer,Iwentintoatotalpanic,yetIknewthatmentalhealingworked.Beingawarethatcancercomesfromapatternofdeepresentmentthatisheldforalongtimeuntilitliterallyeatsawayatthebody,IknewthatIhadalotofmentalworktodo.

Whencanceroranyotherillnessreturns,Idon’tbelievethatit’sbecausethedoctordidn’t“getitallout,”butrather,thatthepatienthasmadenomentalchangesandsojustre-createsthesameillness.IalsoknewthatifIcouldclearthementalpatternthatcreatedtheconditioncalledcancer,Iwouldn’tneedthedoctor.SoIbargainedfortime.Thedoctorgrudginglygavemethreemonths,atthesametimewarningmethatmylifewasendangeredbythedelay.

Iimmediatelybegantoworkwithmyownteachertoclearoldpatternsofresentment.Uptillthattime,Ihadn’tacknowledgedthatIharboreddeepresentment.We’reoftensoblindtoourownpatterns.Alotofforgivenessworkwasinorder.TheotherthingIdidwastogotoagoodnutritionistandcompletelydetoxifymybody.Sobetweenthementalandphysicalcleansing,insixmonthsIwasabletogetthemedicalprofessiontoagreewithwhatIalreadyknow:thatInolongerhadanyformofcancer.IstillkeeptheoriginallabreportasareminderofhownegativelycreativeIcouldbe.
