Think About Your Thoughts

Whenever I worry about my cancer returning, I recognize immediately that these negative thoughts, unchecked and unchanged, can actually manifest what I am thinking.

Our thoughts are physical, and this has been proven metaphysically and scientifically. I recently perused a book called The Intention Experiment. Study after study is detailed in this book, showing how our intentions and thoughts affect us profoundly. It also demonstrates how our thoughts can affect others. So, daily, I have little talks with myself about remaining positive. I practise meditation as well, and this helps train me to focus, and to control what I am thinking about.

Curing cancer is not only a physical process; it is mental, spiritual and emotional. I must control my thoughts because they create emotion, and emotion affects me physically, but it takes a concerted effort. Some days are better than others, but I continue to deny ownership of my cancer, I see it as gone, and in this manner, I don't permit it power over me. It took me a long time to realize this. Just prior to my cancer diagnosis, I spent two years mourning the loss of a relationship, and all my thinking about the lost relationship made me sad and stressed. There is no doubt in my mind that this translated into physical immune suppression and a precipitating factor in the onset of my cancer. And breast cancer statistics uphold my belief.

If you are dealing with cancer, think about your thoughts. What is your self talk? In other words, what are you saying to yourself that will manifest physically in your body? Consider what Deepak Chopra says about this, "Every cell in your body is evesdropping on your thoughts".
