Awakening Your Soul Beyond Cancer: 18 Tips

“Your body is precious. It is our vehicle for awakening. Treat it with care.”

-Buddha

When I was diagnosed with a brain tumor in March of 1998, darkness surrounded me and suddenly I couldn't see. In this new world, I had to acclimate to a new reality. Without a compass, I did my best to find my way through this foreign land with resources and decision-making.

After my awake brain surgery, the brain tumor type indicated a potential recurrence. I felt wounded and afraid of my mortality.

The pain brought me into prayer. Spirit and I were in communication.

Endless possibilities slowly began to emerge. Over time, I embraced my healing journey. I dove into finding how to transform and thrive. Time gave me space to learn more with a commitment to my healing process.

My conversations with spirit continued, including about confusions, fears, desires and how to live life. I started to recognize deeper connections with various levels of self and the world.

Life ebbs and flows. More tidal waves have massively knocked me to places I aspired to avoid. I was diagnosed with a brain tumor recurrence, used hundreds of integrative cancer therapies and self-care strategies, ultimately had a second awake brain surgery, and then a third awake surgery, radiation, chemotherapy as well as immunotherapy with a vaccine. My experiences with spirit further increased.

Through the darkness and into the light, I realized more about the “I” as well as the “we.”

I have become more integrated as a human being into the bigger picture. I was keenly aware of adversity. The challenges contain opportunities and actions to expand higher and brighter.

We move through life as unique human beings with billions of experiences. We are not alone. We are together, and more present in glorification through each individual's soul.

My journey with cancer has awakened me into new insights and soul's presence. Here are 18 ways to help embody your soul and advance your soul’s evolution.

1. Breathe deeply. Focus on the rhythms of your breath. Move into the flow of your breath and relax.

2. Eat healthy foods that help bring the body into balance.
