So Many Changes!

It has been six days since my "awakening" to the acceptance of my true energetic being, and my knowing the true source of all healing, yet it feels like several weeks have passed! I want to fill in some of the thoughts, conversations, and books that have contributed to the conversion.

The Baglady's Guide to Elegant Living: Learn to Love the Life You Have

My friend Dina Dove wrote this delightful little jewel, and published it last year. I had read parts of it in manuscript form, but I bought the book on Christmas evening and read the whole thing during my fast. It is a "self-help" book disguised as a story, which makes it easy to read and understand. While none of the concepts in the book were new to me, reading them in the context of the story reminded me of some of the basic truths by which I wish to live my life, starting with the knowledge that I am a beloved Child of God, and my thoughts are the source of my reality. A new affirmative song came from reading this book:

I am a beloved, beloved child of God,
And I manifest perfect health.
I am a beloved, beloved child of God,
And I am now in perfect health!

(You can add other things you wish to manifest in your life, such as "abundant wealth," "joy and happiness," "loving friends," etc. The first time I state that I manifest, and the second time I state it in the present tense, because I already have it in my thoughts.)

The AIM Program of Energetic Balancing

I mentioned this program when I first started this blog. It is explained in the book, Sanctuary,
by Stephen Lewis, and you can find out more about it on: www.energeticmatrix.com.
I signed up for this program last April in hopes I could get rid of the lump in my breast through balancing my frequencies. That didn't happen for me. However, the facilitator I work with spoke with me on the phone recently, and her words were extremely helpful.

She spoke of the cancer as a wonderful gift. It offers me an opportunity to come to a new understanding of myself and my true vibrational nature. Here are some additional things she mentioned:
--We are taught from birth that we are only a bundle of flesh and bones, and it is difficult to truly believe that we are spiritual beings in a physical manifestation.
--As spiritual beings, we vibrate at frequencies. It is at this vibrational level that healing takes place.
--When we go to a doctor to be healed, we give away our power.
--There is an emotional and mental component to disease, especially cancer.
--Sometimes the disease has been healed on the spiritual level, but we are still holding on to the mental and/or emotional.
--Many cancers have to do with unresolved anger. (I think mine is connected to my resentment and anger toward my brother. This is something I must release!)
--I am being given the opportunity to focus on my self right now--another gift of the cancer.

The Teachings of Abraham, through Esther and Jerry Hicks

T
wo dear friends in Joplin have been studying the Abraham material for many years, and they have a study group that meets once a week. Each week we listen to some of the channeled material from Abraham, and discuss it, following with an exercise from the book, Ask and It Is Given: Learning to Manifest Your Desires. The Abraham material is about the "law of attraction." (The movie "The Secret" also presents these ideas. The sequel to The Secret will be shown in movie theatres all over the country this Thursday. Check with your local theatre to see if they are showing it.) Again, the concepts are not new to me: I started years ago working with the channeled material that came through Edgar Cayce, and also read all the Jane Roberts books channeled by Seth, but until now, I didn't fully understand or embrace these concepts. I feel that now I am ready.

I really like the exercise we did at the last meeting. We imagine that we are the head of a huge company, employing thousands of people, all of whom want to do their jobs in an excellent way. We have a manager who takes care of all the details, and this manager is extremely efficient. If we want to have something done, we simply ask the manager to make sure it is done, and we know that it will be completed satisfactorily. We then wrote messages to our managers.

I wrote to my manager: "Please arrange a clean-up crew to clear away any unnecessary or unhealthy cells in my body, and remove them safely from my body." I now can imagine little people with bulldozers working away in my body, moving the cancer cells out, and I release all the worry from my mind, knowing that my manager will be sure to supervise the job and get it done!

I highly recommend this book (Ask and it is Given: Learning to Manifest Your Desires) if you feel ready to consider a whole new way of relating to reality. Abraham is actually a composite of spiritual entities (a "collective consciousness") which speak through Esther Hicks. As I read this book, I feel like I have come home!

Nancy Stenn, Lucid Healing

About a month ago my husband attended a chiropractic seminar in St. Louis, and while there he met Nancy Stenn, who is a healer. He gave me her card, and I called her over the holidays, but it wasn't until last Thursday that she returned my call. The timing was perfect! I had had the session with Chad, the practitioner of The Reconnection work of Eric Pearl the day before, and everything Nancy said resonnated with me on a soul level. She corroborated everything that I had experienced, and she gave me some affirmations to work with until we can get together for a session. As most psychic healers, she can work long distance, but I felt that I wanted to meet her in person, so I am planning to drive to St. Louis next week.

I am feeling very joyful and full of hope, knowing that all these people are supporting and loving me. I am so very grateful for everyone: healers, family, friends, and storytellers whom I have only met on the internet! Add to those the people at Silent Unity who are praying for me constantly. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

The Reconnection: I believe in Miracles!

A major shift has occurred in my consciousness and in my body. I have come to the realization that I have been searching for a substance or technique outside of myself that will heal or cure the cancer. So far I have been rather frustrated that the magic substance had not made itself known yet. Even auto urine therapy, which I have believed in for about 17 years, and which saved my life in a dramatic way, didn't appear to be "working" for me.

I had started reading The Reconnection: Heal Others, Heal Yourself by Dr. Eric Pearl (Hay House, Inc., 2001) about a year ago, but other things intervened, and the book had ended up on the bottom of a pile of books that I intended to read some day. The last day of my fast, I dug it out and continued reading it. It was mostly because of this book that I woke up in the middle of the night and realized that I didn't NEED to do a urine fast (or any other unnatural "treatment" for that matter) in order to heal my cancer. I simply need to reconnect to the core of my energetic being; to KNOW that I am capable of healing any physical ailment.

Dr. Pearl approaches healing completely differently than traditional, or even alternative medicine. It is difficult to explain what he has developed in a few short sentences. If you are interested, I recommend you look at his web site: www.TheReconnection.com.
I will quote a short passage from the last chapter of the book: "What I've come to recognize is that this is healing in a very different sense than what we have been taught to perceive, understand, or even believe or accept. This healing is about an evolutionary process brought into existence through co-creation at the highest vibrational interaction with the Universe." (p. 220)

I located a practitioner of Reconnection work in Springfield, MO, only an hour's drive from me, and set up an appointment for yesterday morning. During the session I didn't notice anything monumental--no lights or visions, no vibrations zinging around in my body, but I felt very relaxed, and went into a deep meditative state. The idea with receiving the energy is to expect nothing--just to be open to whatever happens. I did not expect a spontaneous remission of the cancer--I really didn't know what to expect.

On the way home I felt very happy and relaxed. The hour drive seemed to take only 30 minutes--before I knew it I was home. The rest of that day I also felt good, with lots of energy. That night (last night) I had two very powerful dreams:

In one, I am in a big older house, searching for something or someone--not sure what I'm looking for. Then I find it (and I know it is what I've been searching for when I see it). It is in an empty room, propped up against a corner, and it is a tiny little man with no arms or legs--actually it is shaped not like a man, but like a peanut or bacteria (a huge bacteria!), and he has a beautiful charming grin on his face. I am ecstatic to find this little man, and recognize him (it?) immediately. "Oh, here you are," I exclaim. "I've been looking all over for you!" The little being grins and "nods" (kind of hard without a real head), and I feel very happy.

I woke up after this dream, feeling like I had found my "innate intelligence" or my core being. After going back to sleep, I had another dream. I don't remember all the dream, but in it I am stating over and over: "I believe in miracles!" I say it in English and in Spanish! "I really do believe in miracles!" Again, I awoke feeling ecstatic.

This feeling of well-being and joy continued throughout the day, along with clarity of mind and lots of energy.

I hadn't finished reading the whole book, and turned to the last chapter this evening. I read these words by Eric Pearl: "In this book, we've discussed healing as discovery, healing as theory, and healing as practice. But in closing, there's one aspect I want to emphasize: healing as miracle. By "miracle," I mean exactly that--a wondrous event manifesting a supernatural act of God."

I BELIEVE IN MIRACLES! CREO EN LOS MILAGROS.

I am not going to stop all the nutritional support I have been taking--I need to support my physical body during this healing, but I do feel that I have made a deep connection with that part of me from where my true healing comes!

Day eleven: end of fast

Yesterday (day ten of the fast) I felt grouchy, weak, and shaky. Last night I awoke around 3 AM, having had a dream that I can't remember now, but I had the strong feeling that it was time to break the fast. I have not realized the results I had hoped for (the lumps disappearing), but I felt a little alarmed by the racing of my heart in the middle of the night when it should be resting and by my weight loss. Yesterday I was down to 113, and later in the evening 114 (probably from the water I was drinking--been drinking a LOT of water!) I dozed a bit after that, but couldn't really sleep.

John was awake by 5 AM, and I told him of my decision, and he agreed that it was probably the right one. He got up and cooked some delicious red lentil soup; I stayed in bed and dozed some more, but I could smell the aroma in my sleep, and it felt so good to know that I would soon be eating some!

I drank some Jason Winters tea when I got up around 8:30, and took my selenium and iron supplements, as well as an immune boosting supplement I had been taking before the fast. Then I sat down with a hot bowl of the lentil soup.

AHHH! I've never tasted anything so good! John had spiced it with Indian spices, including a lot of tumeric. It was the perfect thing to break the fast. He warned me not to go too fast--just eat a little, then eat a little more later, etc. I could feel the warmth and nourishment of the soup go throughout my whole body.

After eating I went in the sauna and rubbed aged urine all over my body (again--have been doing this ritual morning and evening since starting the fast), then came in and put the infrared heat lamp on my breast while I read in bed. Then I showered to wash off the old urine smell and dressed. I feel SO much better! I have some energy again. I ate some more soup, and after about an hour ate some more!

I'm planning to eat very simply now, eating only low glycemic index foods which hopefully won't feed the cancer cells. I'll have to do a little research to plan this diet, but I know I want lots of greens, and no refined carbohydrates. More on the diet later.

For now, I am just so happy to be eating again! Maybe I should have stuck with it a few more days, but I was feeling so miserable, I think this is the right decision.

Day nine of the fast

I almost gave up the fast yesterday morning. I had a dream in which I saw a bowl of a delicious-looking dish made of salmon eggs and noodles, all mixed in together. I started eating it before I realized that I wasn't supposed to be eating. I said, "Oh no! I'm supposed to be on a fast." Then I said to the person who provided the food, "Well, I guess I just broke my fast." Then I laughed. When I woke up, I told my husband John about the dream, and said maybe that was an indication that I should start eating again. But he said, "I think you should stick with the fast. You've already gone through the worst part of it, and as long as your weight doesn't drop down too low, you should continue."

Then I thought about what the dream might mean, other than breaking the fast. The salmon eggs were larger than normal caviar eggs, and the noodles were also of a rather strange consistency. When I feel the breast tumor, I now feel little nodules--kind of like the fish eggs in my dream. I think the noodle/egg dish I was eating is the cancer!

One theory about how the fast works on cancer is that cancer cells demand glucose to grow and survive. On a total fast, no glucose is being provided, so the cancer cells die. Also, without glucose being provided for fuel, the body begins to consume its reserves, beginning with muscle at first, then fat. The body goes into "ketosis" at that point. Although I have no scientific evidence to show that the body would "eat" the cancer cells, I am working with that image in my visualizations. The dream gave me a very clear visual image to work with; it makes me feel good to think that I am "eating up my cancer."

I don't feel as hungry today as before, even with John cooking up one of my very favorite foods last night, curried red lentils. I enjoyed the smells, but they didn't drive me as crazy as the smells did a couple of days ago. Still, I prefer to stay away from people eating.

My friend Kyla gave me a wonderful massage again yesterday. I think massage is essential when on a fast. After the massage I did five minutes of "vibing" with the VIBE machine. Then my friend Ree and her two girls and my daughter Veronica and I went to see the movie Marley and Me--a real tear jerker, but very enjoyable.

This morning I was going to go to Kyla's yoga class, but didn't get ready in time, so I did yoga at home--a very slow and easy yoga session done to beautiful music. It felt so good to stretch and move!

Essential things to do while on a fast:
get a good massage often
do easy yoga every day
spend some time with good friends and laugh a lot
meditate
cuddle with your spouse and children
pay attention to your dreams
read uplifting books
watch feel-good movies
pet your pets
stay warm (the sauna is great!)
spend time with plants--either house plants or outdoors
spend time sitting in the sunlight

Things to avoid when on a fast:

being around people who are eating
watching TV, especially commercial TV stations
stressful situations
getting chilled
strenuous exercise
driving

Update, day seven of the fast

I never thought I could fast this long, but here I am!

When my husband and I were in India sixteen years ago for the first all-India conference on urine therapy in Goa, we met a urine therapist, Kuzum Kapur, who had used the urine fasting method (very successfully) with some of her clients. She said, "this is not an easy therapy." I'm finding that she was right!

I had been told that after the first three days of a total fast you don't get hungry any more. I'm not finding that to be the case! Night before last we went to some friends' house to play scrabble, and they made some food. I felt ravenously hungry on smelling the food! Last night we had a few friends over for New Year's eve, and the same thing happened. I find myself craving certain foods! Watching television is impossible--all the food ads, designed to make people want to go out and buy the food, are too effective! I dream of the day when I can eat normally again.

John (my husband) and I discussed this problem this morning, and we decided that I should not be drinking the ounce of wheat grass juice that I had been taking in the morning--that might be contributing to the hunger. So now I'm drinking only water and urine, plus taking a selenium supplement, organic germanium, and iron. I also stopped drinking the Jason Winters tea. The hunger seems to be better today after making this change.

I lost a lot of weight at first and was very concerned about that. If I continued losing weight at the rate I was, I'd soon be down to a dangerous weight and would have to stop the fast. However, from yesterday to today I've stayed at the same weight: 116. That is 14 pounds lower than my "ideal weight."

Good news! I had been measuring the lump on my breast all along, and it had remained about the same size until last evening when I measured: it has shrunk about 1/2 inch (around the periphery). That raised my spirits, because with all the vitamin C and other cancer-killing herbs and alkaline water, I had not noticed any change at all! It appears there is some progress.

Fasting update; day five

Today is the fifth day of my urine fast. Yesterday I felt pretty weak and still hungry. It is difficult to be around food cooking. My senses are all more acute--smells especially! Today I feel less hungry, so smelling food isn't as bothersome.

I've lost weight since starting the fast. When I started I weighed 127 pounds; this morning I weighed 117. I hope the weight loss slows down; I can't afford to lose 10 pounds every five days!

I went to yoga class this morning, and my friend and teacher Kyla had a very slow and easy yoga session. Afterwords I was so happy that she had time to give me a massage. (Kyla is also a massage therapist.) The massage was heavenly, and I feel really good. I think getting massages is important on this fasting treatment. The slow stretches of yoga also help.

Urine Therapy revisited

My husband handed me a familiar book a couple of weeks ago, and suggested I read it again. The book is The Water of Life by John Armstrong. It is the book that introduced urine therapy to western readers, and is the first book I read about this amazing therapy. In it is a chapter on the effect of urine therapy on cancer, with several stories about successful treatment of breast cancer. Although I had read this chapter many years ago, I had forgotten much of what was recommended for treating people with cancer. He treated people by having them go on a fast, drinking only urine and water. In addition they rubbed aged urine on their skin, from head to toe, and kept urine packs on the tumor round the clock. This is the treatment I really didn't want to do, but I realized on re-reading the book that this is the treatment I really need to do. So I resolved to start my fast the day after Christmas.

Today is the third day of fasting. The first two days I had plenty of energy. I have been dancing every morning for 30 minutes as an aerobic exercise, then doing about 15 to 30 minutes of yoga as a cool-down. Dancing felt so good the first two days of the fast. I thought: "hey, this won't be too bad!" I felt very hungry, especially when my daughter baked a pizza in the oven last night, followed by baking cookies! But I kept my resolve and didn't eat anything.

However, this morning I woke up feeling rather shaky and weak. I don't feel particularly hungry, but I don't feel like doing much. Maybe I will feel like doing yoga, but I'm wondering if I'll be able to continue the dancing.

Armstrong recommended drinking only urine and water. I am actually adding some things to the fast: wheat grass juice (about 1 ounce every morning), a selenium supplement, and an iron supplement. I'm also drinking the herb tea that Jason Winters put together and adding Pao de Arco to that. I am continuing the modified citrus pectin, and adding to it creatine. I am also supplementing my urine with a little urea to increase the alkalinity in my body, and checking my acid/alkaline balance with litmus paper. I've been testing very alkaline! While I am on the fast, I will not be doing the IV vitamin C treatments.


Every evening I've been rubbing aged urine (about a week old) all over my body. I've found that using a wad of lamb's wool works very well for doing the rubs. (An interesting thing about natural wool--if you rinse it out, it does not keep any urine smell. That is one reason 100% wool "soakers" work so well for diaper covers.) I do the rubs in our warm sauna, which has become a sort of sanctuary. I'm finding the aged urine rubs provide a loving ritual for me; I feel very meditative as I rub the urine into my skin, starting at my head, and continuing down to my feet. I let the urine dry on my skin, then put on a warm nightie and a wool hat, and get into bed. While the smell of aged urine is not pleasant, I've been enjoying the way it makes me feel so much, that I really don't mind at all. Fortunately my husband has done many of his own aged urine rubs, so he doesn't mind either. For some reason the urine keeps my body feeling very warm all night. By morning, my skin feels soft and smells sweet! I shower (no soap!), and prepare a urine-soaked wool compress to place directly over the breast lump. I'm using fresh urine for the compresses. I soak one piece of wool, and then place a dry piece over the wet one, and over that a plastic baggie to keep the moisture in, and I use a soft bra to hold the compress in place.

I started doing the urine rubs about a week ago, and I think they are mainly responsible for the improvement of my lungs, although that could be a result of the IV Vitamin C treatments. So far I haven't noticed any shrinking of the lump on my breast or on my lymph node. I plan to continue with the urine fast until the lump goes away, or until I have lost so much weight that it is dangerous. According to Armstrong, I should see changes in the tumor within a couple of weeks.

I've been practicing auto urine therapy for many years, but never to this extreme. I feel very blessed to have learned about it, and I feel very positive about this treatment. It is one of the most ancient treatments in the world, and I've heard hundreds of success stories about its use, not just for cancer, but for many other acute and chronic conditions. I find it very wonderful that we create the means for our own healing, and it always available to us, free of charge!
