Learn the Basics to Understand: What IS Cancer?

Learn about cancer; before jumping on 'fear boat,' find out if cancer is really scary OR can it be cured? This articles addresses the mental, physical & spiritual aspects of cancer.

In this article, we talk about the basics of cancer. Before hopping on to the fear boat, first, at least find out if cancer is scary or is it just some internal imbalance?

Let's talk..
​
There is a mania surrounding this word we call 'cancer'. The minute somebody is diagnosed with cancer or the minute we find out our pet has cancer, we are fast to jump on  fear boat - as if that is the only ride option we have.

In the air, their is the energy of fear, pity, sadness, grief, betrayal and even anger when this word is used, especially in the context of our loved ones or us having cancer.

But just for a moment, relax and read this article with calm breaths. Ya, really, relax.
So, continue? Yes! let's continue..

1. Cancer is NOT scary - In. Any. Way.

Yep - you read that right. Cancer is NOT scary, in any way, what so ever.
Cancer, by itself is an innocent being - it has NO intention of scaring you, causing you sleepless nights or even causing you any physical pain. It carries NO intention of ruining your bank account or running up your retirement savings.

It does NOT give you any death sentence nor does it say that it has come to kill you. Nope. In fact, cancer is quiet the opposite of what society or the world has made it to be.

2. Cancer is a SACRED GUIDE: It visits to awaken the 'healer' in YOU.

Yes! Cancer (or any disease) is your personal 'Sacred Guide' that has been sent from up, above and beyond. Think of it like a free, internal barometer that tells you about how you are doing with respect to loving yourself fully.

From this refreshing and divine perspective, you realize that cancer has come to guide you to STOP doing the wrong things and to change your ways. IF you listen to this Sacred Guide, you will become whole again and if you don't, you will crumble to dust. There is no other way. 

Therefore, we can say, cancer is both the 'dis-ease' as well as the 'remedy' that has come to show you some truth about yourself and your life. You cannot go on any longer with the way you have been going.

And, in the same token, this loving cancer (or any sickness) has come to awaken the resident healer in you, that has, till now, been dormant in you. 

Now, the good news is that this 'healer' is in all of us - we all have been given this innate healing ability. 

3. BUT...there is a problem.

The only problem is, you have shut the innate 'healer' off and have become addicted to the toxic habits that are killing all of us, including our mother Earth. Most people follow what the society's norms dictate and they adapt to these conventional ways of thinking and living. 

So, you ask, what are these toxic habits? What conventional ways are killing us? Let's see -

Toxic habits: Our choices OR unhealed patterns -

• Unhealthy food choices - Sugar, dairy, gluten, canned/junk/frozen/baked goods, soda, candy, animal-products, PLASTIC bottled water/drinks/foods, etc. 

 

• Addictions (choices we know are bad but still choose to continue) - too much technology, sugary items, alcohol, couch, smoking, eating out all the time or ordering at home too often, spending money where it doesn't count, sleeping too much or too little, sleeping at various times - no set schedule, people pleasing, etc

 

• Dysfunctional emotional patterns - people pleasing!!, no healthy boundaries, always trying to fit-in, toxic emotions such as guilt, shame, low self-esteem, low or no self confidence, unresolved trauma (sexual/childhood/emotional/physical/mental),  in-ability to speak up, low self-image, etc

Conventional ways: Society's unhealthy norms

• Doctor is God!! - Believing, thinking, listening, following, doing - to whatever the doctor says without ever taking charge of your health and decisions. 

 

• Keeping up with the neighbors & family members mania - Spending money on updating technology, cars, home decor, materialistic goods, etc each year!!

​

• Chemicals/Drugs/Steriods - Oh! The medicine cabinet - Having 'medicine cabinet' and thinking this is 'normal' for living life. This is sickness-management, NOT health-management.

​

• But...'organic food' is expensive - Oh yes! Let's calculate how much you have spent this year on useless goods, lunches, dinners, etc and even then, a year's worth of organic groceries for a WHOLE FAMILY would not be that much.

       It's about priority AND clarity of thought.

• 'Protein mania' - Yes! you need protein but not as much as you are probably getting and not the unhealthy protein the society eats - the voiceless, innocent, antibiotic, hormone and FAT filled animals . Leave them alone. Let them live. And you will live healthier too.

​
You get the point, don't you? All these toxic habits and unnecessary burdens you have placed on yourself take away from your overall well-being. And when we are not 'whole,' that is when we become out of alignment and in need of a wake-up call.

Hence, the need for a urgent visit by your Sacred Guide.

Now that you are no longer scared of this word, let's talk a bit more scientifically as to what cancer is?

​4. Cancer Explained: Scientifically

You know we all have cells...normal, healthy functioning cells. These cells are responsible basically for everything in our body - from being our building blocks, to supporting our structure, taking in nutrients from food to converting nutrients to energy. Cells are the roots of our internal, magnificent machine.

When our body is in alignment, then it means everything is working at 'normal rate' or we can say at 'normal speed'. Now, problem comes when this balance is tipped off due to some toxic habit/s or an event in our life (death of a loved one, stored trauma, accidents, hardships, toxic people/relationships, etc). You get the point.

When this internal, magnificent machine stops functioning normally and starts to generate abnormal, unhealthy cells uncontrollably, then that is what we call cancer.

This abnormal, fast growth of cells leads to tissue destruction. And as this machine goes off balance even more, this abnormal cell growth even starts spreading to other organs. This is what we call 'metastasis'. 

So, think of it as a production machinery unit. Your body is the warehouse. Your cells are the output; your organs are the production machine. So, when everything is in balance, the machine is running smoothly, that is called normal rate. The cells coming out are healthy and functioning like they are suppose to. The organs (or the internal machine)  producing these cells, know how much to create and when to stop.

NOW, the problem is when too much 'production/output' comes out and the assembly line gets clustered up. What happens then? Ultimately, the assembly line will become so full that it will start going hay-wire and everything will start becoming chaotic in the 'warehouse' we call body. Get it? So far, so good.

OK. So, what is the solution? If we say, "well, let's just start killing the cells (production output) and then everything will be fine", then is the problem solved?

Guess your answer is no. Well, but this is what Western medicine does - shoot the cells with chemo without healing the root cause.

What if we help 'fix' the machine? Would that work? YES!! And what if we review the warehouse and fix the loops so this nightmare doesn't happen ever again?
Would that help more? YES!! So, healing the organs or we can say, supporting and balancing the functioning of the body, at its very root, is the answer then - for permanent health.

So, that is cancer in a nut-shell for you. I hope you understand now what cancer is, why Western medicine fails and why holistic therapies are not only better, but more needed and are the answer in the long run.

Yes, we will talk more in details but this is enough for this post.

And before you or a loved one gets scared again, look below at the image. It was chosen by me - for you (or any cancer/sick patient) specially, out of love and care. So, plz, take it in and accept the divine gift coming your way, through this image.

Let's finish this article here. Nothing needs to be said anymore. We will talk more in other posts. So, this is it for now. Hope this bring spiritual Light to you or anyone who needed it.
