We are Spiritual beings and conscious energy, having a human experience while trying to embrace our body, mind and Spirit in the face of cancer.

Today’s show is first in a series of episodes based on the work of the late David Simon, M.D.

Dr. David Simon was a board-certified neurologist. Additionally, he was an authority in mind-body medicine, and an expert in traditional healing arts like Ayurvedic medicine. He shared his understanding of the connection between emotions, mind, and health with the world. Furthermore, he was co-founder of the Chopra Center for well-being. Dr. Simon’s work was instrumental in creating retreats in mind-body medicine, spirituality, and emotional healing as well as programs and workshops.

In his book Return to Wholeness , Dr Simon shares his knowledge of western medicine and other healing practices. This information can be applied if you are facing cancer or any other illness.

In the forward, Deepak Chopra describes life as a paradox. He indicates we are Spiritual Beings vibrating as conscious energy while appearing as flesh and blood entities – that is to say, human beings.

When we see ourselves primarily as physical bodies in time and space, subject to the laws of entropy (gradual decline into disorder) or decay (decomposition or deterioration) we become susceptible to suffering, fear and disease.

When we see ourselves as True Nature or Spirit, the veil of ego and its trappings parts. As a result, we begin to recognize ourselves as eternal, boundless and whole.

If you are healthy and physically fit or amid a life-threatening illness, the most valuable gift anyone can give you is a reminder that the real you – the eternal you – cannot succumb to illness or die.

In this series, I hope you are inspired to awaken your inner healer which is the basis for all transformation. Facing our mortality offers us a glimpse into our immortality. With sensitivity, love and compassion I invite you to explore your immortality as a collection of energy, creativity and vitality which resides within you.

The tools shared by Dr. David Simon have had powerful and life-fulfilling effects on me personally. I am not the only person who has experienced the benefits of Dr. Simon’s work. In addition, thousands of cancer patients throughout the world have applied the information contained in Return to Wholeness.

This information helped me combine the best of what western medicine had to offer and an understanding of, and reverence for the miraculous healing forces within us.

There is a flood of emotions that occur when we are first diagnosed with cancer. There are feelings of:

They often mask the deeper feeling of fear – fear of many things:

There can be silver linings amidst all these painful emotions. If we choose, our experience can lead to:

None of what I am talking about is a substitute for western medicine. It is about educating and empowering yourself in you are facing cancer. It may improve your quality of life and maybe even your quantity of life

Join me next week as I get into the meat and potatoes of the program. And as always, if you find this information helpful, please like it and share it so others can find it.

Embracing Wholeness in the Face of Cancer series is based on the work of the late David Simon, M.D., former Medical Director, the Chopra Center for Well Being.
