Counteract the effects of cancer through Mind-Body-Spirit Connection

Whether you think in terms of mantra, mediation, prayer, or affirmations, setting your mind and spirit on a positive pathway will help to heal your body.  

There is a lovely Lakota prayer that I particularly like, "Whether the path is easy or difficult, I will not fear."  

That last word, "fear" is really what it is all about for me.  I need to rearrange my fears.  I need to put that energy to use to help me.  By having an affirmation (or mediation, prayer or mantra) that I can say throughout the day I fill the spaces in my mind and spirit with positive ideas.  I dwell on good things.  I start to believe that I will not fear and then little by little I don't.  My body feels better. 

Sometimes it is that simple.  Sometimes it takes a lot of concentration and effort. 

And just so I don't come across like a preachy, know-it-all -guru want-to-be, here is another thought that I hold in my spirit and mind, "A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort."

Sometimes that's enough to get me through the day.
