493 thoughts on “Healing from Cancer: Embracing Conventional Medicine and Universal Medicine”

1. Totally agree, ‘cancer and other illnesses’ IS an opportunity to change how we live in our everyday life, and in everything we do.

2. This statement stood out for me, ‘ felt sad that I had brought her to this place today requiring cancer treatment’. How many people can honestly admit to this, they can see the younger self as being with life and then over the years due to this or that, they end up with a stop moment.

   I loved how turned your life around with the support of esoteric healing, and seeing your life from a different perspective following the support from conventional and universal medicine.

3. “There are no words to say how incredible it feels to learn you have a serious illness and to be able to accept such news as an opportunity for healing. ” A beautiful sharing – thankyou Frances. The combination of Western and Universal Medicine provides a unique opportunity to be able to accept a serious diagnosis, learn from it, heal and move on. What a gift!

4. “My illness provided me with an opportunity to not only heal, but to evolve as a person. It has been an amazing grace in my life.” A beautiful testimony to understanding the true nature of illness and the opportunity to heal.

5. “Allowing me to focus on the matters necessary for my body to do what it does best – heal itself” – this really changes how we look at healing, that our body is constantly being pulled toward its truth and we have to learn to get out of its way. This speaks to me very loud right now.

6. It shows the power healing can offer when we are not looking for a solution but to understand more deeply why we have the symptoms in the first place.

7. Our ability to embrace life no matter what occurs and face it knowing that everything is an opportunity no matter how challenging it may be is so important – not only does it make life much more enjoyable but I wonder if it also helps determine the outcome.

8. It is far more rich and deepening to have an understanding of where you are truly at. To understand this from a medical point of view (during illness and disease but also without) but equally from an energetic point of view. The second is why Esoteric Medicine comes in handy. As this testimonial and many more reveal. For it is something we always come back to, and already know, this must be taken seriously. Hence, no power to another or instance can be given away.

9. During my radiotherapy I chose to have a chemo wash/chakra puncture session after each radiotherapy session, it supported me greatly and especially helped me rest and heal, I am forever grateful for these Esoteric modalities and for the practitioners too.

10. This is another evident fact that proves the flourishing of the marriage between traditional medicine and esoteric medicine.

11. You have shown here Frances the healing power of the combination of ‘conventional medicine and universal medicine’ as well as your choice to surrender to the process. There feels like there was no need to fight it as you hear voiced so often by those who have had a cancer diagnosis, but simply an acknowledgement of the healing that you were being offered and the allowing of all the support that was available.

    1. Ingrid, your words, “as well as your choice to surrender to the process” really struck home with me. Serge is currently supporting me whilst I undergo a full dental reconstruction. The dentist’s chair is very definitely not my favourite place; and yet I have survived one 5-hour and several 3-hour sessions.

       Throughout most of them, my Fitbit has recorded that I had slept for well over 2 hours on each occasion. I hadn’t of course, but I do remember just allowing my shoulders to drop and feeling my body sinking down into the chair as I just allowed what was to be, happen. Surrendering was just the obvious thing to do!

12. “I knew that she was in capable hands – mine, the medical profession’s and the practitioners of Universal Medicine.”- this is a pretty powerful combination.

13. Beautiful to feel your surrender to the illness and full embracing of it as an opportunity to clear and heal old patterns and ways of living that created it in the first place. This is the total opposite to how we generally, in society, tend to think of illness and disease, as something to be taken on and fought: waging a war against our own body when actually what would support it most of all, is acceptance and embracing our body and what the illness is reflecting to us, and lovingly committing to all the support we can offer to ourselves.

14. Yes indeed Frances… This really is a paradigm shift isn’t it.

15. ‘When I got home from receiving the diagnosis of cancer I studied the photo I have beside my bed of me as an eight-year old girl walking along with my Mother holding my hand. I looked at this little girl and felt sad that I had brought her to this place today requiring cancer treatment, although on the other hand, I knew that she was in capable hands – mine, the medical profession’s and the practitioners of Universal Medicine’ – how amazing to be able to trust and feel so confident in the support offered and in ourselves. Knowing well that we are enough to handle what is in front of us is such a confirming feeling.

16. And that is it – the body does know precisely how to heal itself and our responsibility is to allow and support it to do so. This is why it is so efficacious to work in union with western and esoteric medicine in order to bring about true healing for the body and being by giving equal importance to addressing the ill-momentum behind the disease. Thank you Frances your testimony is an inspiration.

17. Stunning, this approach to life and to illness and disease needs to replicated world-wide – after all we all have then opportunity to have an amazingly graceful life, it’s simply whether we grasp it with both hands or not.

18. To experience illness as an opportunity for evolution plus the quality of grace, completely changes the old paradigm of ‘getting over’ it to get life back to how it was (even though it did not work anyway) as fast as possible.
    “My illness provided me with an opportunity to not only heal, but to evolve as a person. It has been an amazing grace in my life”.

19. I agree the esoteric presentations have helped me to join the dots together for me to see that for all my choices there is a consequence one way or the other. I too chose to be supported with chemo wash/chakra puncture, during radiotherapy and found that I was not so tired and my skin was not so sore either.

20. “There are no words to say how incredible it feels to learn you have a serious illness and to be able to accept such news as an opportunity for healing. And no words to describe the power and grace of knowing I am loved and am love, and that all I need to do is listen to and trust my body. ”

    I was moved to tears reading this today, you are a living miracle Frances to be open to this and to be living it.

21. “There are no words to say how incredible it feels to learn you have a serious illness and to be able to accept such news as an opportunity for healing. And no words to describe the power and grace of knowing I am loved and am love, and that all I need to do is listen to and trust my body. ” Thankyou for sharing Frances. How beautiful that you could see your illness as an opportunity for healing – and to share this to support others going through a similar situation.

22. It is beautiful to read the level of surrender and support you offered yourself during this period Frances. It is a way of living that can support us through our whole lives to reconnect and live from our innermost essence.

23. Thank you Frances – seems like you not only healed yourself but are offering everyone a healing with your beautiful sharing.

    1. I absolutely agree Nicola, for this is how I felt while reading this incredibly inspiring account of Frances’ healing. I could feel so clearly in my body that her healing was offering me a healing. How beautiful is that?

       1. Yes it is a beautiful thing to feel how interconnected we all are and how any loving step we take for ourselves is for all and of course the opposite applies too!

24. This is just gorgeous Frances to feel your absolute willingness to embrace what life presented and to get the support to heal is huge, with both conventional and esoteric medicine. This is how we can be with an illness, embracing the opportunity it offers us to heal and evolve, and to deeply care for and support ourselves in this process.

25. The modalities and presentations have inspired me to embrace modern medicine like never before as well. I appreciate everyday the extensive support I know feel is always at my fingertips through the various Universal Medicine modalities.

26. ‘My illness provided me with an opportunity to not only heal, but to evolve as a person. It has been an amazing grace in my life.’ Wow Frances, what an inspiration you are to many people, to not see yourself as a victim in anyway but to see how your illness is an offering for you to truly heal and evolve.

27. This really is such a turnaround for society to understand… A radical shift in perception.

28. And so it will be that illness is usually the main instigator for people to reflect, contemplate, and evolve. Unless of course people have the opportunity to live with work with and be with people who know their inner truth and are connected enough to allow that to shine out of their eyes

29. I really got this morning, from this blog, that we don’t have to wait for an illness, especially a terminal one, to begin to rest deeply and allow a deepening ongoing care and love for our bodies and selves. Thank you for sharing this Frances Taylor-Marshall

30. What I am getting from this is that healing is about going back to being who we truly are, and being esoteric, living from the inner-most, is the only way that supports our return, and it really makes sense that when we can deeply surrender to that way of being, the body is left to do what it does best – healing itself.

31. Our ability to heal lays first and foremost in our willingness to surrender well before the prescribed medications and treatments can have an effect on us. This is such a deeply inspiring story Frances. By accepting the grace (moment of pause) on offer, you were able to bring about great transformation in your life – a true healing. Thank you for sharing.

32. It is really amazing how Conventional Medicine and Universal Medicine work as a whole, and how we have to play our part in allowing the healing, letting go of ideals and beliefs and honouring ourselves, and accepting the love that we are.

33. ‘I was able to embrace my situation and move through the numerous hospital appointments with a lightness of being’. Wow, you must have been an enormous blessing for all the patients in the hospital when you came in with this lightness, feeling the importance of healing yourself with the help of both esoteric medicine and traditional medicine.

34. It is rare to hear these words about a serious illness – ‘It has been an amazing grace in my life.’

35. I would love to see this article published more widely, or perhaps another like it Frances. Often having a diagnosis such as cancer puts people in a spin, understandably so, and there can be a a real desire to get better but not know where to start or who or what to turn to. Your article outlines so well what is possible and just as these modalities have helped you so can they, in turn, be of assistance to others.

36. The way you accepted your illness as a way to grow and evolve, as a grace in your life is very inspirational. And what a blessing you have been for the hospital and all the other patients with moving through the appointments with being the light that you knew and know you are.

37. I wouldn’t think there would be too many people that come through this style of treatment with not only such a glowing report but also be able to articulate it all in this way. When you read this article you wouldn’t think the author had endured what she had as it all is just so so light. It would make me consider why everyone who has had this diagnosis wouldn’t be following the same treatment plan given this outcome. I have had people close to me diagnosed and treated for cancer, some have passed away and others survived and I have seen few in this quality of life and living. Thank you for this fresh look at what is a disease that impacts many many people.

38. Being obedient to our body is not something that necessarily comes easy when we have so many thoughts and old patterns of behaviour running us, as well as old ideals and beliefs to knock on the head, so to speak.
    The Universal Medicine modalities are so supportive in this process for they bring us back to the truth in our bodies and how that feels. Because truth in the body feels so lovely we are reminded of how life could be like this all or most of the time and how it really is up to us to let this happen, I say ‘let’ because the body itself is wanting it, it is only our lived-up-to-now waywardness and continued sabotaging thoughts that get in the way.

39. It is refreshing to read ‘I enjoyed engaging in the whole process of treatment’ – never do you hear people say this about having chemo, but within your words Frances there is a genuine appreciation for the treatments you have received. Very inspiring.

40. When we become aware of and begin to integrate Esoteric teachings, wisdom and philosophy into our daily lives, we begin to learn that illness and disease is actually a blessing and in turn, human life begins to make more sense.

41. What grace you accepted illness with, irrespective of outcome. A beautiful reflection.

42. Your response to seeing the photo of you as a child Frances and wondering how this little girl had arrived at the place of needing cancer treatment as an adult is a poignant one. It’s a question worth asking: how do we get to such a place? I don’t have cancer, but I of course have my own health concerns and the question is just as relevant. Even for those children who are born with conditions or manifest them very early on the same question can be asked in terms of what we bring through each lifetime.

43. To treat illness as an opportunity for growth, rather than a unfortunate circumstance is already a healing in itself. I can imagine being given the big C diagnose was extremely shocking and tough on you and your family but having the Universal Medicine team support you through all your chemotherapy and other mainstream treatments would have been so touching. Thank you for taking the time to share your very personal journey that had you come out the other side of cancer not only cured but truly healed.

44. It is beyond revolutionary as it is deeply beautiful to read of someone who when diagnosed with something so serious does not choose to become a victim of circumstance but rather chooses to embrace acceptance through deeply knowing that their illness and circumstances are an opportunity to heal and evolve as a person…. An inspirational way to approach all unpleasantness in life.

45. To know that you have a serious illness and are willing to look at the root cause and not play less to what you can heal is the biggest appreciation marker here. A sign of true responsibility!

46. Thank you for sharing your inspirational healing journey Frances which reflects a totally different way of approaching a cancer diagnosis by embracing the healing on offer, both conventional and esoteric, and being an active participant in the process.

47. Inspirational Frances. You have shown us how powerful healing can be when we surrender to being guided by love, and allow ourselves to be supported by the practices of both conventional medicine and esoteric healing giving way for your body and being to fully heal and evolve.

48. A beautiful understanding that illness and disease are not fate or just bad luck and that we have had a part to play in the underlying cause of the problem but also we have a part to play in the healing of the illness and disease. Conventional medicine and esoteric medicine are powerful partners.

49. Do you feel like a good read? Go no further than the Esoteric Practitioners Association guidelines on ethics… The absolute and leading guidebook of its kind in the world.

50. Our body is always giving us incredibly clear messages on where we are and what we need to do to live a life that is rich fulfilled connected… We really do need to listen to our bodies

51. Thank you Francis, what a beautifully honest account and appreciation for the healing offered through both the medical fraternity and the accompanying Universal Medicine therapies and support. The integration of both these offers true healing I agree, and you are a perfect example of exactly that.

52. Conventional medicine is truly extraordinary in what it can do, but there is so much , when it is all stripped back, that it does not know, and then we simply must return to the ancient wisdom that presents eternally that we are all one, that every aspect of us is a part of the big picture of our health, and that with this wisdom true healing can take place.

53. The appreciation for the whole experience of having cancer and the process you went through really comes through in your words Frances, and is inspiring. It must have been a joy for the nurses and doctors to see someone embracing everything they had to offer with total acceptance.

54. ‘My illness provided me with an opportunity to not only heal, but to evolve as a person. It has been an amazing grace in my life.’ You have truly surrendered to what was on offer for you and even enjoyed the whole process, amazing read Frances, thank you!

55. As you share in your great blog Frances, a powerful key in our own healing is honesty with ourselves, the acceptance of how things truly are and embracing everything that is there to support us with an openness and lightheartedness.
    “I enjoyed engaging in the whole process of treatment – both medical and esoteric. I fully accepted and embraced all the medical treatments that were recommended, and received positive outcomes all along the way”,

56. A great testament to what we can all do for ourselves.

57. Awesome Frances, your story is testimony to the power of surrender to the beauty our bodies hold, in sickness and in health. And I’m glad you referred to Universal Medicine offering present day teachings of work previously carried out by others. Yes, the medicine Universal Medicine offers is universal and it is timeless… hence it is also referred to as the Ageless Wisdom. We’ve known it for eons, and have simply chosen to forget. Its modern-day face, Universal Medicine, is simply helping so many of us to re-connect to that which is universal and timeless in us. Thank you Universal Medicine, and all who came before.

58. How beautiful to read that you ‘enjoyed’ the whole process and how great the way you combined the support on conventional medicine with Universal Medicine therapies as well as eating nourishing foods. Yes any illness is not pleasant, but when we view it as the opportunity to learn that it presents, and we look after our health as best we can, then the healing process becomes simpler.

59. ‘And no words to describe the power and grace of knowing I am loved and am love, and that all I need to do is listen to and trust my body.’ A very powerful statement. I sometimes ignore what I know is true for the body but there is always a consequence. As I appreciate the miraculous workings of my body and the way it continually works towards homeostasis I can see that honouring my body contributes a continual healing, not just in the present but for past misdemeanours also.

60. It is indeed wonderful to feel the love and healing offered when we get a condition such as cancer or have an accident instead of going into why me or feeling that it is some kind of punishment etc and rejecting what is on offer. It is beautiful to hear how you embraced your offering and healed and evolved. Thank you for sharing and supporting others too.

61. The modalities of the spiritual new ages give us fragments of truth that serve as bait as we desperately search for a truth we have departed from. This truth lives deep within us, it is absolute and untarnished yet we blemish our perception of it when we choose to live counter to the way it impulses us to live. No wanting to re-turn and live it in full, we eagerly swallow such bait that affords us an excuse to delay the return until such a time that the aching emptiness of living a lie becomes too much to bear. Once we re-connect to the esoteric way of living (living from our inner-most) the blind spots disappear so that the exquisite Whole from which those fragments of truth came from, can be seen and thus lived once again. Frances, you are living proof of such a joyous return and show us how simple it can be to make great changes in our lives, thank you.

    1. I feel we followed the spiritual new age modalities as they allowed us to ignore our responsibilities; we felt free for a short while whilst we were being blissfully distracted. The great beauty that Frances illustrates is her complete trust in her own body and in her own love. To turn our backs on something that is so clinging; is awesome! To face up to cancer with no fear; just love and appreciation for yourself is very profound and very beautiful.

62. Beautiful read, thank you.

63. Understanding that even serious surgery is most definitely an opportunity for energetic clearing is a revelation that could really change our relationships to hospitals in general

64. How great that you have this knowing Frances, ‘I am loved and am love, and that all I need to do is listen to and trust my body.’ Lovely, and true.

65. Thank you Frances, this is a beautiful testimony to the combined work of Universal Medicine, the high integrity of their practitioners and the thoroughly allied relationship with conventional medicine and all it offers.

66. A beautiful example of the healing potential by pairing the Universal Medicine Therapies with conventional medicine. Taking responsibility for why you found yourself with this condition and them embracing all you did to support yourself in healing is very inspiring Frances, thanks for sharing your story.

67. for most people illness is seen as an inconvenience at the least, or a source of great concern… Here we have the perspective that we can actually learn from our illnesses, and even evolve our awareness.

68. “There are no words to say how incredible it feels to learn you have a serious illness and to be able to accept such news as an opportunity for healing. And no words to describe the power and grace of knowing I am loved and am love, and that all I need to do is listen to and trust my body.” So true. Students of the Way of the Livingness have an amazing ability to accept with grace and dignity a serious diagnosis and use it as an opportunity for healing and evolution. Universal Medicine therapies are an amazing complement to western medicine, offering true healing not just a cure.

69. So much understanding and wisdom beautifully shared Frances. I just loved reading this part “When I got home from receiving the diagnosis of cancer I studied the photo I have beside my bed of me as an eight-year old girl walking along with my Mother holding my hand. I looked at this little girl and felt sad that I had brought her to this place today requiring cancer treatment, although on the other hand, I knew that she was in capable hands – mine, the medical profession’s and the practitioners of Universal Medicine.”

70. The courses and presentations that are on offer now, both from Universal Medicine and practitioners trained by UM are wonderfully supportive, both for everyday life, and , as Frances writes, when something extreme happens.

71. “There are no words to say how incredible it feels to learn you have a serious illness and to be able to accept such news as an opportunity for healing.” This is such a profound statement of where Universal Medicine presents modalities and a way of living to deeply heal rather than only seek a cure for symptoms.

72. What a healing for us all to read this Frances. I am learning more and more that illness is a healing in itself if we so choose to see it that way. I remember when I got a warning that something was amiss in my body, it was producing cysts to tell me all was not well, I started making changes as if they were malignant. I just thought why wait, if there are changes to be made and I know what they are, make them now as life choices, not a reaction to medical necessity. The support of the practitioners trained in Universal Medicine therapies has, like your experience, been amazing.

73. Thank you Frances, it is so beautiful to feel the love and responsibility with which you embraced your illness which really was a healing. It seems that this episode not only provided a healing for you but for others too as the medical profession who met you will have been touched as will all those who read this blog for years to come.

74. As you say Frances, for so many of us it is Universal Medicine that ‘joins the dots’ and this then becomes the foundation for a very rich and full life.

75. What you describe is an active and knowing participation in your process, as needed and administered by conventional medicine and the Esoteric Therapies, a winner on all counts: ” I was able to embrace my situation and move through the numerous hospital appointments with a lightness of being.” It sounds like your active involvement and your choices turned remission or absence of the disease into true healing.

76. It is inspiring how you chose to embrace the powerful mix of conventional Medicine, Esoteric Medicine and self responsibility to take care of yourself, and great to read how this supported you “to learn you have a serious illness and to be able to accept such news as an opportunity for healing” and deeply from within “knowing I am loved and am love, and that all I need to do is listen to and trust my body”. This is a blog that every person with a serious condition could do with reading.

77. A beautiful account Frances, it is rare to hear someone speak of their Cancer experience in this way. To embrace your medical treatment as you did and for your body to respond so well is in my view, directly linked. While many accept the necessity of treatment, it is often out of fear for what will happen if they don’t. This is completely different to the acceptance and embracing you describe, and it is in that difference that I feel the body becomes more receptive and compliant with what is possible.

78. “I enjoyed engaging in the whole process of treatment – both medical and esoteric.” How many people can say that about their treatment for cancer I wonder. I’ll wager not many, if but a handful. It’s such an incredible way to approach what for the vast majority is a time of ‘fighting’ against the disease. Acceptance and surrendering instead have been the most amazing healing for you that this should be a recommended part of everyone’s treatment program.

79. Frances – I love the fact that you embraced the illness as an opportunity. Too many of us see illness or disease as a burden, as something we have done wrong or that it is a nuisance to have to experience. The fact is that you used this as an opportunity to realise that there was healing involved and above all that it was not about you doing it by yourself. Thank you for such an inspiring and precious sharing!

80. I was a bit of a workshop junkie at one time of my life too, fervently seeking another way to live – because the way I was living was certainly not working. I agree with what Frances has shared here – the Esoteric way, as shared by Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon has joined up the dots in the fullest of ways and I no longer find my self seeking solutions, but finding answers.

81. When I read accounts such as this one, or ponder some of the bigger events of my own life, I always sense there is a much grander picture we are all part of. Yes, we become focused on this physical existence but the Grandness we are part of is always there, saying feel this, be aware of that – and it seems that in the midst of what is often perceived as a terrible thing, we are offered deeper awareness if we choose it. Perhaps we are always being shown ‘there is more’ and we sometimes need a bit of help to see that.

82. Your love of life and true appreciation of Universal Medicine is felt here. It is inspiring how you embraced your healing and accepted all the love and support that was and is available to you.

83. “My illness provided me with an opportunity to not only heal, but to evolve as a person. It has been an amazing grace in my life”.
    What an amazing transformation for you Frances and what a wonderful opportunity, which you have obviously grasped with gratitude and appreciation; very inspiring thank you.

84. I wonder how unusual such a complete metabolic response is.

85. Thank you for sharing your story Frances, to see your illness as an opportunity to deeply surrender to true healing through combining both Western medicine and Esoteric understanding is very inspiring.

86. This shows a deep level of surrender to allow the true healing to take place. This is key I am realising more and more, as without any true surrender even if the body can heal the physical symptoms, the energetic cause will never be truly healed

87. Universal Medicine practitioners actually embody what they say … it is never about lip-service or just saying the right words, the words always come with a living experience of re-connection to the inner heart.

88. Frances, what a positive role model you are in how you have approached not only your diagnosis and treatment but also the combination of Western and complementary medicine! Something that stood out for me was around noting that the young child you once knew yourself to be was still there and in very capable hands. This is a lovely reflection for me to take and remind myself that no matter what, the beautiful little girl is still there inside of me.

89. “…My illness provided me with an opportunity to not only heal, but to evolve as a person. It has been an amazing grace in my life…” What a beautiful balanced way to approach a diagnosis of an illness and the ensuing treatment with conventional medicine and the esoteric understanding..

90. I was deeply touched by your description of the photograph of you as a child and it made me think back to my own childhood – do we ever know what lays ahead? And looking back, how many of us need to apologise to our small self for the misery and abuse we have brought to ourselves in this lifetime? I guess what matters more is that we stop the abuse and take greater care of ourselves, no matter what age we are now.

91. ‘I enjoyed engaging in the whole process of treatment – both medical and esoteric.’ That is an extraordinary thing to be able to write about going through treatment for cancer. Amazing. Thank you Frances.

92. Thank you Frances for sharing such a beautiful story of acceptance, surrender and true healing that you offered yourself through your loving choices.

93. Frances I am returning and reading your blog again tonight. Over the past few days I have read blogs that have shared very similar experiences as you have. How Esoteric Healing supports the body through treatment for cancer. This is revolutionary and needs to be shared far and wide, especially when we consider how many people are affected by cancer.

94. Trust is the issue here, as with so many aspects of our society, fundamental trust in institutions is sadly lacking… To the point where so many people feel totally disempowered, manipulated, and seek refuge in disengagement and abnegation of personal responsibility. Universal Medicine brings the integration of personal responsibility, reconnection with oneself, and this reempowers the individual to know exactly what is needed for themselves to truly heal.

95. There is an enormous paradigm shift that society has to make with regards to illness, and disease. In bygone eras, the connection with the heart body and soul with regards to healing was most paramount indeed, all that there was. Until the interrelatedness of all things is again felt, the healing of humanity will continually look like the worm Ouroboros, continually consuming its own tail, and not getting anywhere.

    1. ‘Until the interrelatedness of all things is again felt, the healing of humanity will continually look like the worm Ouroboros, continually consuming its own tail, and not getting anywhere.’ Very apt analogy Chris.

96. I admire the fact that you have treated cancer as an opportunity to heal and evolve, good on you Frances

97. Dear Frances I love the grace with which you wrote this article. The complete acceptance you allowed your self for where you were at, with no push to be any where else, except with your body and to allow all the support that you made available to your self, both the medical support and the Esoteric support, is so beautiful to read and to feel. While your haematologist was “truly thrilled” with your body’s response, I feel deeply that how you embraced, in full, your treatment is the natural true way for all of us to heal.

98. It is so special to read Frances, that “medical staff would often comment on how well my body was accepting their treatments”. To me this proves that when we do care for our bodies and are open to see the truth behind it – e.g. that this illness is there because of the choices I have made in life – there is then a willingness of the body to accept all the help that is presented to us to assist in healing the body and in discarding the false energies that are held in it because of our own choices we made in life.

    1. Dear Nico,
       Being open and observing the truth is definitely the key to our body healing. Not only as Frances has shared, but in much more simple ways. By noticing when we feel our body tense and we react to something, the simplicity of noting this, I am discovering opens up understanding of why very quickly. With the understanding it is easy to then move on from the experience, with out it haunting us for years to come. The simplicity of this is so very physical and I can now fully understand how something that we cannot let go of becomes a constant tension in our bodies. A body held in such tension is more prone to all sorts of illness.

99. What a beautiful blog Frances you show through your experience what is possible when you combine both conventional and esoteric medicine and how truly supportive and loving this is in allowing your body to heal, while reconnecting back to you.

100. Universal Medicine is here to support humanity, from the simplest awareness of lifestyle choices, to the profound support offered as written about here, this organization is offering support for all of humanity to evolve.

101. What I enjoyed reading here was your embrace of a whole range of support to best allow your body to do what it does best – heal itself! How cool it is that we have this amazing body that can and will heal itself from anything if given the chance? very inspiring, thank you Frances.

102. It is amazing what true support and guidance can do to help us through life in this body.

103. Amazing grace … How sweet the sound … And so very powerful to accept into your life and being. Thank you Frances for sharing your joy at finding the truth in healing and what I too have finally found in Universal Medicine after much searching.

     1. Yes Suzanne, grace is palpable in Frances’ expression.

104. Feeling the choices made from being an eight year old child to the present day, asked me to do the same. I can look back and see my life has not been based on love, but like you, since attending Universal Medicine presentations and accessing sessions with practitioners, it has re-awakened an ability to truly care for my body. Developing and deepening this knowing we all have is truly awesome and it’s never too late to start.

105. It is truly inspiring when someone can see the diagnosis of an illness or disease in such a positive way and even more so to read how the treatment process was enjoyed whether experiencing the esoteric or conventional medicine. It is so valuable to be able to read about another way to approach illness and disease, thank you, Frances.

     1. Considering the strain on the health system throughout the world and the general state of our health and well-being, and that despite more advances in technology and medicine than ever before and yet with illness and disease rates still rising, could this in fact not only be ‘another’ way to approach illness and disease, but ‘the’ way… taking responsibility for our choices and combining esoteric and western medicine to support true healing…

        1. Absolutely this is true, and is what I experienced when diagnosed with a serious disease, that this combination is the way and it will be amazing when the health care system catches onto this.

106. I love the fact that you did on-line Esoteric yoga whilst in hospital!… to deeply rest and restore the body, giving it every ounce the opportunity to heal within is superb. This combination of Esoteric therapies and conventional medicine is definitely a prescription for true healing. Beautifully awesome and inspiring of where a path of in-hospital treatment could go…

     1. In hospital treatment that includes the philosophy of the Esoteric Teachings is something that I feel deeply is needed. Humanity will eventually begin to embrace the understanding that one cannot truly heal until the love we feel for ourselves propels us to look at how we live our life and to change what is not working, that which is causing the disease and illness in our bodies. Realising the power that we all hold in our choices is the greatest healing of all.

107. There are not many patiënts who will say they enjoyed engaging in the process of treatments. It is beautiful to read how you were able to do so and even embraced what was needed in this situation ‘with a lightness of being’. Your commitment to heal with the support of western medicine and Universal Medicine is deeply felt in your blog, you are a power woman!

108. I agree Frances, the two modalities combined – conventional medicine and Universal Medicine – are truly powerful. Very lovely to read how you turned your life around by making loving choices and taking responsibility for your life.

109. All the way through reading your sharing I can feel your deep commitment to yourself to love and to providing for your body everything that it needed to fully support it coming back to health. Thank you for it has offered to me a choice to deepen my own commitment to my body.

110. Thank you Frances for sharing your beautiful story, your last paragraph is truly inspiring.

111. What you’ve shared here shows me that understanding your illness as an opportunity to heal and fully accepting and embracing the treatments, both medical and complementary is evidently a super important key to your recovery.

112. Whenever something serious happens in your life, the quality of Universal Medicine’s support is in many ways second to none.

     1. I have never felt more loved and supported in my life than by Serge Benhayon, in any point of my life. The level of care and service he holds and the quality required by any Universal Medicine practitioner is undoubtedly unparalleled.

113. To see your illness as an opportunity for true healing is very inspiring Frances; as is your response to combining traditional medicine and Universal Medicine in your healing.
     Thank you for sharing your story and your wisdom.

114. Thank you Frances for sharing your amazing story of how you healed cancer by combining Conventional medicine and Esoteric Medicine. Loved the way you accepted your illness and saw it as an opportunity to heal your body. Very inspiring for other cancer patients to read this.

115. This is a beautiful sharing of your illness and how you approached working through the treatment and ultimate recovery from it. From your blog, I can see how beneficial the Universal Medicine modalities complemented your medical treatment, and how the insights and awareness during this time are perhaps also ‘medicine’ assisting the body to heal.

116. “I knew that she was in capable hands – mine”. How powerful we are when we see our true role and responsibility in healing. What if it is not a punishment or crime, but a gift given to us by the grace of God to heal and live truthfully? Thank you, Frances.

117. Thank you Frances for sharing your story, it reinforces our ability to accept illness and disease as an opportunity to not only heal but to deepen our connection to ourselves, rather than seeing ourselves as victims and having to fight the disease aggressively. Anyone going through a serious illness will undoubtably be inspired by your experience of healing.

118. Thank you Frances for showing me that we can embrace our illnesses as a way of healing our many hurts. Our precious body has all the wisdom we need if we only learn to respect and listen to it.

119. Frances thank you for sharing your story. To hear and feel the words “There are no words to say how incredible it feels to learn you have a serious illness and to be able to accept such news as an opportunity for healing. And no words to describe the power and grace of knowing I am loved and am love, and that all I need to do is listen to and trust my body.” is awesome. They are incredibly empowering and truly inspirational words to many out there suffering from illness and disease. To know these same words apply, whether it be a cancer or a headache, is equally incredible. We each have an opportunity to listen to our bodies and be the own maker of our destinies.

120. This is a really beautiful sharing. It is so profound that you have come to a place of understanding through Universal Medicine, where you see illness as an opportunity for healing and learning, rather than something to fight and reject. Your recovery is amazing and it makes complete sense that when you learn to make loving choices for yourself like you have, that your body will reflect how you have honoured it.

121. This is a very inspiring beautiful sharing of your journey with life and cancer with the support of conventional medicine and esoteric medicine healing techniques. A real inspiration to all who read it and gift from you. Through Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine we are being shown another way, the real and true way to live and be and this is the greatest gift we can have in the world. Thank you Francis.

122. ‘My illness provided me with an opportunity to not only heal, but to evolve as a person. It has been an amazing grace in my life’. This is an awesome blog Frances that has really made me stop and realise that we should not wait for ourselves to be ill ‘to build healthy joyous cells’ but is something we should be doing every day, simply because we are worth it. Ultimately this joy cannot but promote true wellbeing and the awareness of true health.

123. Dear Frances thank you for sharing your recovery from cancer – combining conventional medicine and the esoteric healing modalities brought your body back into harmony and you did it all so gracefully and with total acceptance. You held yourself in your own love as you accepted that same love from others, truly inspiring.

124. Cancer is a really big illness and it would make such a big difference to so many lives if we would accept the diagnosis and accepted the necessary treatment while taking great care of ourselves, without the pain and fear that is often associated with cancer.

125. Your blog brought tears to my eyes – what a miracle you are! taking full responsibility for your cancer and embracing the conventional and esoteric treatments available, trusting your self and your body in the healing process is such a beautiful approach to healing, one that I feel will be very much be the way of the future.

126. ‘I was able to embrace my situation and move through the numerous hospital appointments with a lightness of being.’ I am learning that living with a ‘lightness of being’ can apply in all walks of life wherever we have a potentially stressful situation, no matter how big or small, at work, in the family, in general life, and our choices can lead to natural harmony whatever the outcome.

127. It is encouraging to read how you embraced both conventional medicine treatments and esoteric modalities so that they combined harmoniously within your body, resulting in this outcome.

128. I appreciate the online Esoteric Yoga classes very much as well and I can imagine how nurturing they are when sick. They are so supportive in creating a time to stop during the week and they sure help us to prevent getting sick and make sure we don’t end up exhausted.

129. Great to hear of your recovery Frances. I have heard many such stories from other people who had cancer and went through extensive surgery and chemotherapy with the support of Universal Medicine Practitioners, Esoteric Chakra Puncture and Healing. In each case the healing process was much more harmonious and they had very little if any nausea or discomfort from the chemotherapy or radiation. Also in each case the oncologist and nurses were surprised at how well they did. What surprises me is that there is such a powerful, low cost and simple support available, but so few people know about it, use it and get the opportunity to benefit from it.

130. The clarity and consistency of the Universal Medicine practitioners has been of inestimable support for my own ongoing healing and energetic reawakening, and the return of a true foundation of energetic awareness in my life.

131. It is beautiful how our body allows us to heal and evolve at the same time. When we listen to our body, it is constantly letting us know if something is not right, if we choose to connect to the feelings and really listen to what our bodies are saying, we know how to support and heal the body. Our body gives us clear messages when something does not feel true, when we honour these messages the self healing takes place. Our body is a constant reminder of our truth and how we are living everyday in every moment. We require medicine to support us when we have for many years ignored signs from our body that something is not right, that’s when we have exhausted the body and we need extra support for the true healing process.

132. Beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

133. “I enjoyed engaging in the whole process of treatment” – this is not something you expect to hear when someone is talking about their cancer treatments… it is a testimony to your willingness to commit to the healing and learning that might come.

134. This is a whole different way of approaching cancer and you can feel the grace this offered you- a time of deep rest, care and healing.

135. Wow Frances what an awesome story of completely accepting your responsibility in causing your condition and in turn completely embracing all aspects of the healing process. The complete healing you received is a natural result, and thank you so much for sharing this very inspiring story.

136. Frances, I appreciate your sharing. You have been on such a big journey through your illness yet the way you have maintained a view of healing yourself is quite powerful.

137. This morning it seems that the blogs I choose to respond to all have serious trauma as their subject. Yet despite their topic and perhaps because of it, each person is enriched, healed, evolved by their experience and all acknowledge the tremendous role that Esoteric Medicine played in their healing. Thank you Frances for another inspirational story.

138. Conventional medicine treats disease and symptoms on the physical level and Universal Medicine therapies take it to the energetic level. What a great combination and very powerful indeed.

139. Frances, I am so inspired by the way you see your illness and its healing as a time of grace, and by the way that you embraced both conventional and Esoteric Medicine in the process. But of course the most important ingredient in this process was you and your acceptance of what was happening to your body, and the knowing that how you treated your body was a huge part of the “medicine” that was needed. I can feel the love and care that you bestowed on yourself and I know that this will inspire others if they find themselves in a similar place. Thank you for sharing your grace-filled healing journey.

     1. You so beautifully expressed Ingrid what I was feeling. Frances inspires us to see our illness as something to embrace and welcome as a moment to re-commit and re-connect to ourselves and to self-love. When we find within this level of self-acceptance and allowing, the natural healing process of the body is able to support us. If we fight our body with constant worry it wears away at our immune system and undermines the healing process.
        I found these words in your last paragraph particularly beautiful and inspiring – ‘no words to describe the power and grace of knowing I am loved and am love, and that all I need to do is listen to and trust my body’.

140. I love what Universal Medicine adds to the conversation about illness and disease and how this fundamentally changes our relationship to this area of our life. It is ‘our’ body that is going through this process, it is ‘our’ life it is happening within, so it makes total sense to deepen our relationship with our body and to look at our choices in life both short-term and long-term and build an understanding of how everything is connected.

141. Testimonies like yours Frances reveal the real value of what Universal Medicine offers humanity.

142. An inspiring article Frances. When we accept our illnesses and disease as a way to heal the body, we stop fighting and play our part in supporting conventional medicine to restore the body to physical health, while looking at the underlying cause of the problem and making changes in the way we live to support us in the healing.

143. Thank you Frances for sharing your story. These words stood out for me: ‘There are no words to say how incredible it feels to learn you have a serious illness and to be able to accept such news as an opportunity for healing. And no words to describe the power and grace of knowing I am loved and am love, and that all I need to do is listen to and trust my body.’

144. It sounds like the Esoteric Healing modalities and the medical treatment you received worked hand in hand to help you truly heal your cancer!

145. This is such a beautiful blog to read, Frances. I am inspired both by the way you approached your illness as an opportunity to heal and evolve, as well as your marriage of conventional medicine with Esoteric Healing. Thank you.

146. When it comes to Esoteric and Conventional medicine combined the results are amazing as you’ve shared here Frances. Not only on the end result of being cleared of the disease but the whole way you approached the subject is unheard of on a wide scale. There is so much fear and heartache around the subject of cancer, as even when cleared, the anxiousness of it returning lingers. And yet here there is an acceptance of what has happened and you have chosen to support yourself as best you could with both medical and esoteric forms of healing. It just goes to show that there is a different way of addressing such situations fron that which have been adopted as a normal or an unquestioned relationship with illness and disease.

148. I can feel the grace and acceptance when I read your article “My illness provided me with an opportunity to not only heal, but to evolve as a person. It has been an amazing grace in my life.” It turns what is often thought about illness on its head. It is possible that illness offers much for us to learn and heal.

     1. Yes Samantha, the gorgeous approach to illness and disease outlined by Frances is an empowering one. The standard response to illness and disease tends to be either aggressively try to beat it, or feel helpless and give up. Perceiving it as an opportunity to learn and evolve and an amazing grace in our life is immensely inspiring.

149. We are truly blessed that as well as the miracles that conventional medicine is able to perform, Universal Medicine is offering humanity a greater level of understanding and support in relating to our bodies and to illness and disease. It is such a joy reading accounts of individuals like you Frances who when faced with a serious illness, embrace it as an opportunity to take stock, to build a deeper level of love, awareness and responsibility, and what an inspiration that is for everyone.

150. It is a true blessing to have the support of the esoteric practitioners as we go through an illness or operation. Through this amazing support I was able to increase my awareness and understanding of how I got to that situation and thus now could choose differently. I have learned treat myself with more love, care and respect, fully embracing the support of western medicine and surgery but equally taking total responsibility for my own well-being. How great would it be for western medicine if everyone was willing to commit to their own healing and not just rely on miracles from their overburdened doctor.

151. It is the quality of what the practitioners of Universal Medicine practise that is so unique and supportive, and the understanding that everything matters is a part of the wisdom that Universal Medicine presents that makes it possible for lives to be turned around, all in all , … priceless!

152. This way of healing a disease feels so beautiful. The way you talk about the disease is so loving and understanding this is truly something special in this world.

     1. I agree Lieke, Frances has truly embraced this opportunity as the gift it is.

153. It’s amazing and inspiring to hear how you embraced illness as an opportunity for healing, it feels like you deeply surrendered and accepted it, and therefore your body could heal. Thank you Frances for sharing your wonderful story.

154. It is always so beautiful to read blogs that describe the grace and opportunity to truly heal that a serious illness has brought to someones life. This approach, which includes acceptance and responsibility, is so different to the ‘fix me’ mentality that is also out there.

155. Universal Medicine provided missing answers and ‘joined the dots” for me too in many many areas of life. I had previously given up on the scientific approach and conventional medicine, and had been studying various complementary therapy modalities for 10 years and surprisingly Universal Medicine was the only complementary medicine school that actively encouraged everyone to seek support from conventional medicine for any physical symptoms not because of a fear of litigations but because of depth of understanding, care and honouring of the person and what is required for true healing.

156. The blessing of your illness and healing can be felt through your words, Frances. Powerful and uplifting – Thank you

157. Frances, you write with so much joy in what for many would be regarded as such a difficult time of their lives with all the fears that are so commonly expected from an illness such as cancer. This is remarkable and true testimony to your own commitment to yourself, and a testimony to the amazing support that we can give ourselves when we combine the benefits of conventional medicine with the support of esoteric medicine as well. Illness does not have to be a negative ending or huge horrible stop to our life, it can be a beautiful and very joyful healing time as you share here.

     1. It does come down to our attitude towards illness and accepting the great opportunity there is for healing as Frances is a beautiful example of this.

158. Beautiful testimony Frances!

159. The esoteric modalities and the support they play in understanding, taking responsibility and feeling your part in why there is a dis-ease in your body has been the complete picture for me. The Modalities are a blessing in your healing program. There is no other way to feel your body in this way and look at the root issues.

     1. As you say Rik, the esoteric modalities are so helpful, to look at the root cause of an illness. The western medicine normally has only time to treat the symptoms, but it is our job, to feel, which behaviours have actually led to the illness, which energies have we let into our body, which are causing the problem.

160. Frances you are a living testimony to the power of true healing through combining conventional medicine with Esoteric Medicine. Thank you for sharing your story.

     1. I second that Penny, a wonderful, light hearted blog with such appreciation and commitment to a true healing process. Thank you for sharing this Frances.

161. Thank you for sharing your story which provides inspiration for anyone undergoing medical treatment. I could relate to your sadness of what had happened to the 8 year old girl in the photo. I recently nursed a man who was very unwell having abused his body for many years. As I looked at him I wondered what his mum would feel, looking at this man who had once been a precious baby. It seems like part of a true healing is to reclaim this preciousness and treat ourselves with love and great care.

     1. Fiona, it really is about treating ourselves with love and great care and really understanding the preciousness that we all are. If we reflect back to how beautiful and innocent we were as little kids, that in itself is a great reflection.

        1. I totally agree, love and care for ourselves has been a somewhat missing ingredient in so many of our lives.

        2. What also feels missing is our sharing of the love we feel for others. A good friend recently died and It seems to become so apparent when someone is gone that we have held back sharing our love for others, in the way and depth that we really feel it. It certainly feels damaging to do that, in so many ways.

     2. What a beautiful way to look at that man Fiona. It is too easy to look at the abusive choices, and not the person, shake our heads and “tut tut” at them in judgement. We forget that no matter how old and how beaten about life, that man is the same being as the tiny baby that had been carefully taken home by his mother however many years before.

        It is not as though we set out to do these rough and tough and abusive things to ourselves when we are a child. Hence why Frances consideration is so worth reflecting on – how had that gorgeous 8 year old ended up at such a point that she needed chemotherapy? This is not at all about blame. Rather, it is a stocktake, an opportunity to lay out all of our choices and look at them with fresh eyes. When we do this we can see how we get way-laid by life if we are not aware, and that one careless choice can snowball into another and another. That is when the possibility for fresh choices is made available to us – and as such a completely different way of living becomes possible.

        What Frances has written about could at the surface be regarded as a change of lifestyle, but it runs deeper than that. True change is about our entire relationship to ourselves and sense of worth. To embrace who we are, deeply and lovingly is he greatest healing possible.

        1. I love what you have said here Rachel about true change. It is clear to me that our relationship with ourselves is key, and establishing our sense of self worth. How much we embrace and value who we are is directly proportional to the love and care we take with ourselves. Allowing ourselves moments to take stock is so important, and allowing the reflection to us of how awesome we are ~ from wherever that comes.

162. I just have to hope that if I get cancer or a serious illness, that I too can look at it in such a positive true way and deal with it with love and accept all the love and help that’s on offer from such a glorious community.

163. Frances, what a powerful living testimony you are. I found this part, as you were looking at your photo of yourself when you were young, super inspiring – ‘I looked at this little girl and felt sad that I had brought her to this place today requiring cancer treatment, although on the other hand, I knew that she was in capable hands – mine, the medical profession’s and the practitioners of Universal Medicine.’ As you have shared so much wisdom with your understanding and knowing that the union of yourself, modern medicine and esoteric medicine would provide you with the best possible outcome for true healing.

164. And what grace you bring to us Frances in the sharing of your journey of true healing.

165. That’s an incredible way to see illness Frances. When we (society) do start to see illness that way what a truly healthy difference that will make in our world.

166. Thank you for showing the vast difference in how Universal Medicine presents and inspires an empowering relationship with life. I have learned that every moment provides a prompt for us all – for us individually, and as Humanity, to take another step on our return to the love, wisdom and joy which is our true essence. Illness and disease – it is a loud prompt from within our own body, it is a stop. A prompt can not get any more intimate.

167. I know so many similar stories to yours Frances by people like yourself that have embraced their illness and seen it as an opportunity to heal rather then something they are at the mercy of and have been afflicted and burdened by. This attitude, as well as marrying the Universal Medicine Therapies with conventional medicine paves the way for true healing to occur. This is an awesome reflection for what is possible when we take responsibility for our illness/disease.

168. Hi Frances you positively embraced the truth and walked with it. Beautiful.

169. This is a powerful story showing how well Esoteric Medicine can work alongside conventional medicine and how healing this is. I can really feel how you have embraced both Francis, you were totally open to the process that allowed you to not only heal but evolve as a person, it was a joy to read your blog and share your journey with cancer.

170. This is a wonderful story Frances, truly inspirational and a great testament that the healing modalities of Universal Medicine are a great complement to more main stream treatments.

171. Frances, your acceptance and openness of the treatments offered to you seems to have been a major contributing factor in your healing process. I love how you have seen the cancer as an opportunity rather than a burden- this is an awesome reflection for us all.

172. This is a very beautiful testimony of how supportive the esoteric healing modalities are in healing severe medical conditions, they will never solve an medical issue but they will support the body in healing itself and accepting the medical procedures needed. This is very beautiful.

173. THank you Frances for sharing your inspiring story and the amazing power of healing , supported by your own love and the loving support of Universal Medicine practitioners.

174. Frances you have shown the potential we all have within us to heal ourselves when faced with serious illness, and how seeing the illness as gift is an essential ingredient. We also learn from you how powerful it can be to receive treatments from both esoteric healing practitioners and conventional medicine professionals.

175. Your experience Frances shows us that we still have choices even when we have been diagnosed with serious illness. We can take an active role and listen to our bodies and as you say move through “numerous Hospital appointments with a lightness of being”. Thank you.

176. The level of self–responsibility that is shown in this article is inspirational, as when most people find out they have a serious illness blame and denial really come into play. To understand that this is an opportunity rather then a sentence is a very powerful statement.

177. I can feel Frances that you embraced your treatment and lived through it with joy and grace. You were part of the treatment, you did not give away your power to the medical profession. To view your illness as a gift to help you evolve is very inspirational.

178. There is something incredibly different in Universal Medicine than what I found in all of the alternative therapies I came across in my search for something to complement our current medical interventions, and that was acceptance of the illness or disease. This is really quite profound to experience, as initially when I discovered I could have a serious illness and disease, I wanted to fight it and have it be gone as soon as possible – I could have used surgery or the many alternative therapies to try and achieve this goal but I would have missed so much in the healing process. Universal Medicine bridges the gap without a doubt!

179. Wow I say too. There is not an ounce of drama in your story, there is such an acceptance and understanding of your process and the blessings it has brought to you that you are a living example of practical wisdom, that “lightness of being” that you talk about emanates in your blog, that grace to be ill, that grace to heal. Thank you Frances.

180. Wow – your story shows me just what is possible when we accept the grace that healing through illness offers us. I read the closing paragraph several times because it is so profoundly true!

181. To see and embrace illness as a blessing, “an opportunity to heal and evolve as a person” is not the normal attitude but wow, it is so true. Most people know that if they are burning the candle at both ends they make get sick, or that a broken foot is a sign to slow down or stop. But to apply this wisdom to bigger health challenges like cancer is brave and inspirational and incredibly honest. Thanks for sharing.

182. Your open article touched my heart Frances. I forsaw a world where there is a ” loving coordinated programme ” such as you found, on offer locally for anyone going through a process of healing. That ” amazing grace ” is available to all. “We are loved and we are love “.

183. You don’t often hear good news stories of people’s experience with cancer.
     You have given your body the best opportunity to heal itself in the safe hands of:
     1- yourself with esoteric yoga, self love, a willingness to heal.
     2- the medical profession by fully embracing the treatment and all those involved.
     3- Universal Medicine from loving practitioners providing chemo wash/chakra puncture, nutritional guidance etc.
     It sounds like a very effective trio.

184. Wow, such an inspiring story Frances of how you combined conventional medicine with esoteric healing and the experience you had with this. What stood out for me was how you fully accepted and surrendered to the treatment for the cancer and how your body responded in full to the loving approach. What a blessing for everyone around you during that time, to see how you approached and embraced the treatments and the healing on offer.

185. Frances, it was such a delight to read your story here. I shared in your joy as I read your words, and could really feel how your approach to your illness, along with your choice to take responsibility and to really begin to care for yourself has brought much healing to your life. I seriously smiled the whole way through, thank you.

186. What an amazing anecdote of how esoteric medicine can truly complement the conventional medicine. It’s so inspiring that you have embraced the process with such joy that you can say “My illness provided me with an opportunity to not only heal, but to evolve as a person.” Amazing.

187. Wow. ‘There are no words to say how incredible it feels to learn you have a serious illness and to be able to accept such news as an opportunity for healing. And no words to describe the power and grace of knowing I am loved and am love, and that all I need to do is listen to and trust my body.’ That is a powerful statement that resonates through every cell in my body. Your humble and dedicated approach to illness and healing is inspirational.

188. Frances what an amazing blog, to see your illness as an opportunity to heal and to appreciate all the support and love you had around you is deeply inspiring.

189. An immensely powerful and heart felt blog. So many people every day find that they have a serious illness to deal with, but so few have anywhere near the support that is offered by Universal Medicine. Hopefully soon this will change.

190. Frances every word you write is full of self acceptance and love. I am so inspired by your humility and I have no doubt that other people with serious illness could only be inspired by your amazing return to health, accompanied by a much deeper appreciation of the love and grace that abounds us if we choose to connect to it.

191. You mention all the different modalities that you have tried before you learned about Universal Medicine, and the “missing links”. It’s interesting, as I read your blog, I became aware (again) what the term Universal Medicine actually means – a form of medicine that anyone can practise. You don’t have to be a doctor or have a degree to engage in a form of living that is healing and medicinal – a medicine that is for everyone and that anyone can practise. The essence of it being to be loving (or at a minimum gentle) and take responsibility.

192. Great to read of the harmony and balance that is possible with conventional medical practice and Universal Medicine practitioners. What we are seeing is a new way forward for Humanity, where the individual is truly cared for according to their needs, without agenda or favour. Truly a new paradigm.

193. I agree the level of professional support and care, that the practitioners of universal Medicine and the teachings of Serge Benhayon bring, are second to none.
     The consistency in their love and honesty (saying things as they are, and not trying to ‘water down’, the truth of a matter) is the most support I have ever experienced. Thank you Frances for sharing your experience.

194. Frances what an incredibly enriching story and how incredibly remarkable that through your approach your were able to heal your condition. Of significance for me was that you embraced the medical treatments as well as the esoteric. Having read a few other blogs that say similar things I am getting to understand the importance of our attitude whilst receiving treatment. It appears that if we are able to embrace a procedure, a situation, or even a staff member then we seem somehow to engage with whatever it is and it is able to benefit us more

195. Thank you for sharing your story Frances. Knowing you personally and seeing you throughout your treatment was true inspiration to me. I have seen many people go through chemotherapy but what was amazing to experience was the way you shone more and more as the treatment went on. I know this was a result of the work you did with yourself with your self-nurturing and deepening your own inner connection with the assistance of the Esoteric Modalities. A beautiful example of how Western medicine and the Esoteric modalities can work together.

196. Thank you for sharing your journey of healing Frances. That last paragraph is full of grace and power. No words can say, but the words you did find say it so well.

197. Thank you Frances. What an inspiration you are, to be so open at a time when it would be so easy to shut down and push the world away. In return, you have received such a gift and in your sharing, so have we. Thank you.

198. Frances, how beautiful to re-read your sharing. I agree with you especially when you say “there are no words to describe the power and grace of knowing I am loved and am love, and that all I need to do is listen to and trust my body. My illness provided me with an opportunity to not only heal, but to evolve as a person. It has been an amazing grace in my life” – what a beautiful reminder of the opportunities that illness offers us all.

199. It is truly wonderful to read a blog about a cancer patient who has embraced herself, her choices and her illness with absolute Grace. With your acceptance and your dedication to love, you were held and nurtured – and you sought the treatments and support that your body needed. Absolutely beautiful, thank you Frances.

200. I too was a workshop junkie from the mid/late 90’s and interestingly also resonated with Alice A Bailey’s work early on. When I discovered Serge Benhayon’s work some 10 years later it completed the picture and I finally felt home again. Your well balanced and integrated approach to healing makes complete sense Frances and you are living testimony to that.

201. Frances I am touched by the part where you wrote “I looked at this little girl and felt sad that I had brought her to this place today requiring cancer treatment” and I can feel that this is so true. We are living lives that ignore the joyful little girl or boy in us and it is such a blessing to read that you allowed yourself to feel the truth of this fact and that you joyfully accept your responsibility in it.

202. What a loving supported healing journey you have experienced Frances.
     I too was drawn to Alice A Bailey, having used the great invocation for years in prayer before meeting Serge Benhayon for the first time.
     The Ageless Wisdom all felt so familiar – I have no doubts the wisdom of both Alice A Bailey and Serge Benhayon are one and the same……………LOVE.

203. Your way of accepting your illness as an opportunity for healing and deeper understanding is inspiring Frances. Every pain, discomfort, accident can be approached this way, and we can not be victims when we take on this level of responsibility. Thank you for your wisdom.

204. An inspiring blog, Frances. It was so beautiful to read how fully you embraced the opportunity that you were offered and then allowed yourself to heal from within. It is truly awesome when we realise that all the support we need is there if only we are willing to reach out and ask for help.

205. Thank you Frances for blogging about your ‘healing from cancer’ journey and how you allowed the healing to unfold by trusting your Medical and Universal Medicine practitioners and your Self. Truly an inspirational story!

206. Thank You Frances for capturing the simplicity of what you did to support yourself in the face of a serious diagnosis. Your testimony says volumes about how powerful healings can occur when the patient is so willing to take responsibility for the healing process as you were, and the God sent Universal Medicine Therapies.

     1. Yes Deanne, when we are willing to take responsibility, as Frances has, and combine Western medicine with Universal Medicine therapies, miracles can occur.

207. Frances I can feel how amazing and open you are and this is reflected in the way you have embraced your diagnosis and treatments. I feel I am going to learn a lot from your approach. Thank you

208. Very inspiring Frances, I can feel the enormous support you gave your body to heal.

     1. Yes Benkt I could so feel that too. The quote at the end “It has been an amazing grace in my life” feels like it was so due to the grace, support & love that you bestowed upon yourself. Very inspiring.

209. Hello Frances, thank you for sharing this story with us and your amazing recovery from such a serious illness. Could Universal Medicine be the missing part of the puzzle? I know for me in so many other ways Universal Medicine have ‘joined the dots’ and provided the missing part in so many things I have seen and experienced. I see our current medical system and treatments doing an amazing job but under a tremendous strain. As you have highlighted, Universal Medicine was the missing part for you after experiencing so many other forms of healing. I think if more people were as open as you to truly caring for themselves in these type of processes then more and more we would see great result like yours. Not that they would all be the same but whoever it was would be able to see and bring understanding to what is really going on with them and their body. So they would be treated but they would also be treating themselves in the choices they make.

     Conventional medicine and Universal Medicine working side by side, complementing each other. Seems like the way to go for me, thank you Frances.

     1. Working in a hospital I can see how illness is indeed an opportunity to heal. Sometimes people need the Stop moment that an illness brings to look at their life. Patients will often tell me that their illness was in fact the best thing that could have happened, because it made them reassess their life and lifestyle.

        1. Very beautiful and reassuring to hear Elizabeth of your patients sharing that they can see their illness as a positive, a stop. When I hear this I hear that we (humanity) are making true progress.

210. Frances, this story resonated with me as I too was diagnosed with cancer, which had spread to my lymph nodes. This was 21 years ago, well before I met Serge Benhayon and started to attend Universal Medicine, but even then I soon realised that the cancer was something that I had allowed in my body through the way I had been living up to that time. While I made some lifestyle changes, I did not recognise or change the behaviours that were the root cause of the condition. Hence, the ill-behaviours manifested on the physical level some years later in another way, through heart disease. Fortunately, this was after meeting Serge Benhayon. I also felt fully supported by Serge and other practitioners during my hospitalisations. As you say if we see our illnesses as opportunities to heal they can be an ‘amazing grace’ in our life

211. An awe-inspiring testament of how to approach illness and the subsequent results. “There are no words to say how incredible it feels to learn you have a serious illness and to be able to accept such news as an opportunity for healing.”

     1. Absolutely awe inspiring approach to illness, where you appear to be totally engaged with your healing. incorporating conventional and complementary medicine. Thank you Francis!

212. I often wonder about how life would be if we only had conventional medicine. Then in the same moment I wonder what life would be with only ‘lifestyle’ or complementary medicine. The truth is that neither will work alone, they are so equally needed.

213. A very beautiful article to read confirming that by listening to your body and honouring what it tells you and allowing and accepting help from others, it is possible to truly heal a very serious illness. Thank you Frances for writing this.

214. Frances to re read this article has been a pleasure , and feeling the truth / understanding and self love expressed is very inspirational . Anne I also totally loved that quoted paragraph for its profound understanding of what is taking place with acceptance and love .

215. Thank you Frances for this beautiful blog. I loved the level of appreciation I could feel between your words, not just for the medical practitioners and the supportive practitioners from Universal Medicine but for your healing process in general. How humble it all feels.

216. Frances, thank you for this very beautiful blog. Your words are deeply healing. As one who has also had cancer, I wholeheartedly agree with your last lovely paragraph:

     “There are no words to say how incredible it feels to learn you have a serious illness and to be able to accept such news as an opportunity for healing. And no words to describe the power and grace of knowing I am loved and am love, and that all I need to do is listen to and trust my body. My illness provided me with an opportunity to not only heal, but to evolve as a person. It has been an amazing grace in my life.”

217. Frances I can feel within your words the deep nurturing program you went through and what an absolute joy for you to have chosen and received this complete spherical support – both medically and esoterically. The honour that you allowed your body to rest and heal during your Lymphoma is incredible and inspiring for anyone with serious illness such as cancer, but also those without disease. Thank you for sharing this.

218. A powerful blog thank you Frances… you make such an important point in honouring exactly the treatment and support you needed during this time. A very insightful and inspiring account.

219. “I enjoyed engaging in the whole process of treatment – both medical and esoteric.”

     How beautiful is that! You enjoying the whole proces of treatments as you could see what was at offer for you and you could see that each physical problem was just an invite for you to go deeper. I am inspired Frances.

220. Thank you Frances for sharing your story. I love how you surrendered to the support that was offered both from conventional western medicine and esoteric medicine. Another testimony that this is the way forward.

221. I can feel the love and grace with which you write, such deep appreciation for all that life has gifted you, Thank you Frances. An example also of the true marriage of Esoteric Medicine and Western Medicine working with you in Healing yourself

222. Frances I can feel how you were really with your body in this whole cancer journey. It felt like you really embraced the treatments with love not fear or anxiousness- a teaching for us all.

223. Wow the grace and understanding with which you faced cancer was so inspiring to read, thank you Frances. I have always feared cancer however, like your experience and many others I’ve read who have been lovingly supported by conventional western medicine and esoteric medicine I am more open to what my body shows me.

224. What a powerful blog, I love how you expressed “There are no words to say how incredible it feels to learn you have a serious illness and to be able to accept such news as an opportunity for healing. And no words to describe the power and grace of knowing I am loved and am love, and that all I need to do is listen to and trust my body. My illness provided me with an opportunity to not only heal, but to evolve as a person. It has been an amazing grace in my life.”.

225. You could say that conventional western medicine and esoteric medicine really is a match made in heaven. I too have used both to address health issues with truly brilliant results.

226. Thank you Frances for sharing your journey of healing – and so inspiring “how your illness provided you with an opportunity to not only heal but to evolve as a person” beautiful.

227. Frances your story has touched me deeply. When you said
     “I looked at this little girl and felt sad that I had brought her to this place”, it really struck a chord in me. Thank you for supporting me with my own healing.

228. It is wonderful when we embrace conventional medicine and esoteric medicine equally so. I know I have struggled to accept conventional medicine in full in the past. I have been in arrogance but now I am seeing more clearly that in situations where cancer treatment is needed you cannot have one without the other for true healing to occur and reading this blog is so inspirational to feel this. Thank you.

229. It is fantastic to read about your approach to this illness in your body. I get a sense from your writing that you have been able to hold on to who you are and not get caught up or lost in the drama and the identity of the illness itself. There is also an understanding that this was a process your body had to go through due to choices you had made, but this does not stop you being the person you are, and in fact you took this as a great opportunity to be more of you.

230. Wow, what an amazing story. Thank you for sharing Frances. This is very inspirational to read and feel how you allowed yourself to be supported while you went through the treatment you chose, as well as dealing with the choices that lead you to where you ended up with a diagnosis of cancer. This is BIG! And also to acknowledge that your illness provided you “with an opportunity to not only heal, but to evolve as a person.” Truly inspirational!

231. Very inspiring how you embraced your serious illness as an opportunity to heal and learn something rather than just giving up and crossing your fingers and hoping it will go away which is a more common reaction to the diagnosis of cancer from my experience. I’m sure it was not perfect and no doubt you had your tough moments but it seems to me that this approach along with the combination of conventional medicine and esoteric medicine – neither more important than the other, is what led to the success of your treatment.

232. Frances, I too have enjoyed the amazing online yoga sessions directly into my home. Leaving the UK to move to the States soon after attending my first Universal Medicine course in 2010 has not stopped me from regularly enjoying the support and healing offered by many of the Universal Medicine therapies. Remote healing to counselling on relationships and food etc. I love what you present here that your illness provided you with an opportunity to “not only heal, but to evolve as a person” and you did.

233. Lovely to read your sharing of how you have used the Universal Medicine therapies to support your conventional medical treatment in a truly complementary way, to support your whole body. We know that conventional medicine does not have all the answers, however, too often I see people reacting to this and completely rejecting conventional medicine in favour of some radical alternative that does nothing to support their healing. Universal Medicine therapies are truly complementary and support conventional medicine, rather than react to it.

234. Wow Frances this is such a beautiful account of your experience with cancer and I know that may seem weird to say for many but there is such a beauty and grace in your process. I can feel how much of a gift it has been for you because you have embraced it as such and at the same time embraced you – this is truly inspiring. Thank you

235. ‘There are no words to say how incredible it feels to learn you have a serious illness and to be able to accept such news as an opportunity for healing. And no words to describe the power and grace of knowing I am loved and am love, and that all I need to do is listen to and trust my body.’

     Indeed. And agree with some of the other comments re it reflecting your absolute acceptance and absence of resistance! Beautiful.

236. Frances it’s beautiful to walk with you through your journey of cancer and healing. By reading your words I too feel blessed by the healing you embraced. There’s a tender joy to know that all the love and support is there if we wholeheartedly accept “the grace of knowing I am loved and I am love”.

237. An amazing tale of how you addressed your cancer without any fight and fear, but with deep love and care and the full support of Western medicine and the esoteric modalities as taught by Universal Medicine. That truly is grace and a blessing.

238. A classic example of how Universal Medicine and Conventional Medicine can work hand in hand to help support the healing process for the patient

239. What a beautiful process Francis. What an inspiration. Thank you for sharing.

240. Truly beautiful to feel the love and care with which you approached and accepted your illness as an opportunity for healing. I have also experienced the absolute support of Universal Medicine therapies along with medical treatment and feel very grateful to have known this support was available. It makes sense to address any illness from a more wholistic viewpoint where we can treat the symptoms while also addressing the parts we play in it. Thank you for sharing Frances, your blog is deeply honouring and very inspiring.

241. Your honesty, openness and joy in expressing your journey through healing is truly inspiring. Your acceptance and appreciation of your illness as an opportunity to not only heal but to evolve as a person was the amazing choice that allowed the true healing you received. Thank you for sharing your story, Frances.

242. Hello Frances, you made a wonderful blog and shared your personal change very openly. This is great to feel and read.

243. A great story of acceptance and love when it comes to disease, which is very inspiring to me after hearing of the many disconnected battles people are having with cancer or other diseases. Thank you for sharing your experience and the complementary health care options by Universal medicine trained practioners and the support it gave you.

244. You have embraced and experienced what Serge Benhayon talks about – that universal medicine’s philosophy is complementary to conventional medicine. Thank you Frances for your wonderful example.

245. Wow, I feel an amazing grace after reading this. Your acceptance of healing through cancer is truly beautiful, of knowing that you are loved no matter what, that you are love and that by just honouring your body by listening to and trusting it, you know you are evolving. Thank you so much for sharing your story, Frances.

246. What a beautiful, powerful and graceful blog, Frances. The love that shines forth from the words you have written is palpable. Not just the words you have written on the conventional medical care and care from the Universal Medicine practitioners you received but from the words you share on your cancer as well. Truly a healing.

247. This is such a marker Frances for anyone of us who not only has an illness but your honesty and openness is an inspiration for any issue we are faced with. We are loved and we are love and that is the bottom line for me to deal with anything that arises, which I come to know because I feel it in my body. I remember Serge Benhayon saying ‘everything is a confirmation or an opportunity’ and you have certainly demonstrated that. Thank you.

248. …”to learn you have a serious illness and to be able to accept such news as an opportunity for healing”… I feel this acceptance of a serious illness and seeing it as an opportunity to heal is what allowed you to truly heal, amazing!

     1. I would have to agree with this Michelle. Acceptance feels like it plays such a huge part of the healing.

249. A joy to read your blog on healing from cancer and feel how you so readily allowed the support of conventional medicine plus Universal Medicine practioners. No “fighting cancer” as is so often portrayed in the media. Just an absolute trust in your body and its power to heal.

     1. Great point Susan…you do hear most people ‘fighting cancer’, saying ‘I will beat this’. But what Fran has so tangibly shared is what a gift the cancer was…it brought her to a stop, to honestly look at her choices and to know that it was the beginning of true healing back to who she truly was – back to harmony from within. So rather than seeing the cancer as the enemy, she embraced it for the lessons and learning that her soul was offering – a humbling one could say and an understanding that illness and disease does not come TO us, but FROM us, based on our lifestyle choices. This is truly inspiring & this is a great example of how powerful our choices are.

250. I have never come across a story of a woman that was so joyful and honest about her illness and how she embraced this, wow. You had no resistance to what happened and I feel that is the key to true healing. A marker of somebody who takes true responsibility in her life, thank you Frances.

251. What a joy and inspiration to hear your story and many other stories of how an illness actually supported a greater healing.
     20 years ago, a close friend was physically falling apart from a very advanced cancer all through his body. The amazing thing for me was that he was actually becoming more full of life, had a deeper appreciation of nature and was developing a true relationship with himself, others and God, despite being a priest and working within the church all of his life.
     Every time that I visited him, I would walk in with fear of what I would see on a physical level, and leave inspired by what he had shared.
     There is definitely the possibility for great healing in every situation if we simply allow it, of this I am sure.

252. “no words to describe the power and grace of knowing I am loved and am love, and that all I need to do is listen to and trust my body.” This is very touching Frances. The simplicity and power in this knowing is amazing.

     1. This part was powerful for me also Rebecca, Frances I loved the first part to this as well : ‘ There are no words to say how incredible it feels to learn you have a serious illness and to be able to accept such news as an opportunity for healing.’ This is golden for all those who have any disease – it breaks the entrenched beliefs that having a disease means you have done something wrong – or failed in some way. By embracing this opportunity for your body you were in a healing union with traditional medicine, esoteric medicine and yourself without giving your power away to the ones treating you. What a healing for yourself and everyone else who was supporting you along the way.

253. Thank you Frances, it is truly inspiring to feel your openness and wiliness to engage with your own healing process. Rather than a fight or struggle against an enemy (the cancer) it seems like you approached it as an opportunity to truly address the underlying issues with the support of conventional medicine and Universal Medicine Healing techniques.

254. What a truly valuable blog on so many levels. Really inspiring how the merger of your own healing with western medicine and Universal Medicine to have an all clear diagnosis.

255. This is a beautiful experience that you have shared Francis, you are a living example of how Conventional Medicine and Esoteric Medicine can work together to heal not only the physical body but also as you stated how it gave you the opportunity to evolve as a person

256. Thank you Frances, your appreciation is palpable in this blog – your appreciation of your self and of the support you got from Universal medicine as well as the cancer treatment through conventional medicine. What an experience to have had, something that has enriched your understanding of what others might go through too. Such a valuable thing! Thank you for sharing your words and your light.

257. Thank you Francis for sharing your personal story of healing from your cancer experience. It is a blessing that you have shared this as it shows that with the combination of conventional medicine and esoteric modalities, how the body is offered an opportunity to eradaciate not just the harmful cells by using chemotherapy, but how esoteric modalities support the body through this treatment.

258. A beautiful blog in revelling how ‘Everything comes with Blessings’ if we so choose to see and it also reveals the way of ‘Harmony’ when every part works to support the whole and with no-one part as being any lesser.

259. What a powerful blog in many ways – thank you for sharing your path of medical support and Esoteric Healing. What I also find incredible is how many people talk about all the different spiritual new age stuff they had tried for years, and none of it worked. Then when they found Universal Medicine – they knew the search was over.

260. I enjoyed reading this blog, it feels very close to home for me. Having had breast cancer, I can really relate to the professional, simple , and true support that was shown me by Universal Medicine and practitioners.

261. An amazing story. When the body is supported by the embodiment of conventional medicine, esoteric modalities, self responsibility and love, great healing can take place.

262. What an amazing difference between the path of your cancer treatment and that of many other patients. The love and dedication of the Universal Medicine practitioners is incomparable and offers such a steady support. The dedication you showed to yourself and willingness to work through what your illness was showing you is very inspiring.

263. Thank you Frances, your blog is a blessing to read. Your level of acceptance and trust is extraordinary.

264. This touches me deep! Universal Medicine is always there for people when they need it!!

265. How beautiful to read how you fully embraced the treatments and healing that was offered to you both by regular medicine and Universal Medicine. This is so important for your body to accept and work with what is offered to fully heal.

266. The care, professionalism and dedication Universal Medicine practitioners have for their clients is second to none. This blog is one example of many many people’s experiences. I regularly have sessions at the Universal Medicine clinic in Goonellabah and I experience the same level of dedication and care that Frances expressed, to a level that I have not experienced in any other practice.

267. Frances thank you for sharing you inspiring experience of how you embraced and supported yourself thru cancer. Your story needs to be spread far and wide as a support for the many people now struggling with a cancer diagnosis.

268. It was so beautiful to read your blog Frances, I felt your gentleness, acceptance, gratitude, love and grace. Thank you.

269. I too have used a combination of conventional medicine and Universal Medicine therapies when I have had surgery or was ill and they work beautifully together.

270. Thank you Francis, a great read and many common thoughts about the use of both complementary medicine alongside with conventional medicine. I too find the healthiness of them both working together.

271. Thanks Frances for such a beautiful sharing. Yes we are very much supported by both modern western medicine and Universal Medicine and the modalities they offer direct from heaven. To come to an understanding of what disease truly offers is all so empowering, in a world that is so disempowering, through what it accepts as the norm.

272. Thank you for your great article, Frances, lovely to hear of your great journey through a very serious cancer back to true health. Wonderful how helpful in the journey (and outcome) was the loving assistance from practitioners associated with Universal Medicine.

273. Well done Frances, a good example of how you have turned a serious illness into a positive healing experience

274. The support and ever loving steadiness provided by the Universal Medicine practitioners is amazing, and what a blessing to have that support and the support you developed towards yourself on your healing journey. I have had ongoing pain throughout my own life and was always going to workshops and therapists to find an answer but only seemed to get further and further away from myself in the process. It was not until I came across Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine that I found what I was looking for and could actually begin my own healing process having sessions with Universal Medicine practitioners alongside the medical care of doctors and nurses.

275. I was feeling for the word I felt in you while reading this beautiful blog and you mention it in the last paragraph, ‘Grace’… The grace in which you accepted this illness, took responsibility for your situation and embraced the opportunity for growth, is absolutely beautiful. Awesome to meet you and thank you for sharing.

276. ‘There are no words to say how incredible it feels to learn you have a serious illness and to be able to accept such news as an opportunity for healing’. This is inspirational as it shows we can take every illness , every situation as an opportunity for healing and to reconnect to the power within us..

277. Frances, I just loved how you shared to heal your lymphoma you fully accepted and embraced all the conventional medical treatments that were recommended by your oncologist, and complemented them with your chosen esoteric treatments to support your body and being as a whole. Your experience clearly illustrates to us all the fact that Western Medicine and Universal Medicines modalities truly do complement each other to treat each individual as a whole being.

278. Here we go again, exactly what Serge Benhayon keeps on saying to all of us.
     “The marriage of Western Medicine and Esoteric Medicine is the greatest union “
     Thank you, Frances, you have learnt the true art of healing and chosen to act on it.

279. It’s so inspiring to read stories about people that have overcome disease and illness through combining both conventional medicine with esoteric modalities. The proof has been in the pudding for so long now. I feel it’s important to note that it’s not the ‘esoteric modalities’ performed by practitioners of Universal Medicine that magically help heal, it’s what is presented to us all that enables and inspires us to be more responsible for ourselves and hence seek support with healing. There is no such thing as someone healing another. Someone can only support another’s healing.

280. Reflecting back to a childhood photo can be very healing. Connecting to the freedom that the child lived with and the joy, that is you, that is still inside. Finding our way back to being joyful for no reason is truly wonderful and rediscovering that the wise person inside really does exist.

281. Love this: “My illness provided me with an opportunity to not only heal, but to evolve as a person. It has been an amazing grace in my life” – Illness is a reflection of our choices and always the opportunity to evolve. A graceful design.

282. Your blog is beautiful, Frances. Thank you for your sharing. There is no other way to true healing than the one you so beautifully summarised: truly and deeply caring for yourself, conventional medicine and the amazing esoteric modalities. I too learned to embraced them all in time of illness and I consider myself so blessed that I did. Thanks to Serge and to the esoteric modalities he has made available for us all.

283. There is so much on offer here in your blog Francis.
     Just the phrase ‘…all I need to do is listen to and trust my body’ could be potentially life changing if put into practice. Just this alone has brought great healing to my body and my life after many years of driving it, pushing it to extremes and over-riding with my head what was felt. Life is so simple and easy when I trust and listen to the wisdom in my body. And when something doesn’t feel quite right, I know that this is my body’s way of loving me…saying stop, come back to love, come back to harmony. There is so much wisdom in the body to be seen and felt, if we stop to listen.

284. “A wholesome loving program that instilled in me confidence and reassurance that I was affording myself the best possible healing opportunities, allowing me to focus on the matters necessary for my body to do what it does best – heal itself!” This is beautiful; bringing together conventional medicine, esoteric medicine and you as the full-time carer of yourself is a triangle of love.

285. To read your story is to feel a true grace and ease with what is usually seen as a major disaster in one’s life – a life threatening illness. I get no sense of you ‘fighting’ the cancer which is so common in people’s responses or stories about surviving cancer. There’s no sense of being a victim nor of now being a victor. I find this an incredibly inspiring way to look at any illness or disease, be it minor or major – to see it as an opportunity for healing. Thank you for sharing.

286. The way we live is our best medicine and the truth of this has been brought to us by Serge Benhayon and combing conventional medicine with this is the only way to be .
     The world is blessed with Universal Medicine now in such a time of crisis in world health to start taking responsibility for ourselves and see illness and disease as a healing also.Thank you Francis for your beautiful sharing

287. I too had a diagnosis of cancer after an operation, and was advised that I had 25% chance of living for more than 2 years, despite 6 weeks of chemotherapy and several more weeks of radio-therapy. This occurred some 10 years before I met Serge Benhayon and started to attend Universal Medicine presentations. At that time I had no concept of the fact that my illness may be a healing – this awareness came many years later. The concept that ‘I . . . am love, and that all I need to do is listen to and trust my body’ was also foreign to me. At the time I made several lifestyle changes and the cancer still has not re-occurred twenty years later. However, unlike you, I did not see it as opportunity ‘to not only heal, but to evolve as a person’. Consequently no true healing had taken place, and while the cancer did not re-occur, I had several serious heart attacks as the underlying issues that caused the cancer had not been resolved, so my body needed to speak to me in a different language. Now, after 10 years of making changes in my life, everything you say resonates with me on a deep level. Thank you for sharing your experience.

288. Thank you for writing this article, Frances. Having had a cancer diagnosis in 2006 and then a recurrence in 2008, I noticed the difference in how I felt about both these discussions with the doctor/surgeon. The reason for this was that during these dates, I was introduced to Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon. I had my first esoteric healing session with Serge in July 2007. The change in me was profound in that I was able to make loving choices for myself around what treatment I had and what I declined to have, and there was no fear surrounding this. At no time was any medical advice given me by Serge or other practitioners whom I continued to see on a regular basis. I found that healing sessions and chakra puncture brought my body a new stillness I had not experienced before. I was able to feel deep inside how lovely I was, even with the cancer there and how I had been instrumental in creating it through my life choices. The support, the love and care shown me by Serge and the practitioners was always consistent and made it easier for me to manage what was occurring physically and emotionally – an opportunity for healing myself of all that had been before.

289. It is amazing what a difference a simple, wholehearted ‘Yes’ to conventional medical treatments makes. If you are then able to take care of yourself further, in harmonious addition to the medical treatments and not just keep calm and carry on but embrace what is happening to you, then medicine is well aware how much better such patients are doing.

     I find it absolutely crazy that there is a whole industry of alternative practitioners whose very name ‘alternative’ shows that they are in conflict with medicine and thereby rob anybody who comes to them of one of the most powerful healing effects there is – embracing your treatment.

     1. That is so well said Christoph. There is no need to fight or reject medicine, just say “yes” to it and embrace it in full.

290. Imagine if we listened to our bodies all the time. We listened to its constant messages and feedback about our choices – which ones to make and which ones to not make, which ones make us feel light, clear and calm, and which ones make us dull, heavy, and anxious.

     love these words Frances – “And no words to describe the power and grace of knowing I am loved and am love, and that all I need to do is listen to and trust my body. My illness provided me with an opportunity to not only heal, but to evolve as a person. It has been an amazing grace in my life”

     You are so blessed to have found Serge Benhayon and so very wise to have chosen to listen. One of the most empowering gifts Serge Benhayon brings to modern medicine are his words “The way we live is the best medicine”. They ring so true in me. Listening to our bodies to know how to live, could very well just be the greatest step to about facing the rapid downhill slide in human health across the globe.

     Plato and many ancients have said the same – are WE ready to listen NOW?

291. Hi Frances, you talk about having lived the marriage or conventional and complementary medicine – and to me, from what you have written, it sounds like a perfect marriage! Thankyou Frances.

292. “There are no words to say how incredible it feels to learn you have a serious illness and to be able to accept such news as an opportunity for healing. And no words to describe the power and grace of knowing I am loved and am love, and that all I need to do is listen to and trust my body. My illness provided me with an opportunity to not only heal, but to evolve as a person. It has been an amazing grace in my life.”
     These words are truly inspirational and quite humbling. A gentle reminder of the importance of being consciously present with ourselves all of the time.

293. You say you had no words to express ” the incredible , power and grace ” Frances,
     Yet in your honest telling of your healing journey and how you embraced the Teachings of Universal Medicine, I felt your words are also a teaching, to everyone who reads this inspiring blog.

294. Getting ill is a little like having a car crash – it can be small or severe, either way it is a wake up call that leaves you shaken, vulnerable, less arrogant about how you have been driving/living, and provides a window of grace in which you can choose to stay open and allow a different possibility present itself about how to go forward. The common mind-set is to ‘beat the misfortune’ and get into the driving seat as soon as possible and carry on as if nothing happened. But your article shows how you welcomed the opportunity to reconnect to a profound level of care, appreciation and responsibility. What you have shared in your article is truly beautiful and inspiring.

     1. A beautiful observation Golnaz – creating a ‘window of grace’ to view your choices.

295. I too can feel the sense of grace and beauty in your acceptance and how you have approached the process of unfolding that your body was offering you. When I begin to accept and allow the process to unfold, I give my body an opportunity to truly heal from within and to offer me a different way to live my life from then onwards.

296. Very inspirational Francis I hope if I ever get news of an illness I will be able to tackle it with the same positivity as you have and see it truly as a clearing.

297. What an amazing and supportive approach to healing your body. The impact of Cancer on millions of families worldwide is huge and what a transformation we could undertake in our treatment and understanding of cancer if we were to view the process in the way you describe. Your words “to build healthy joyous cells” are an embodiment of a positive energetic approach to cancer treatment.

298. “There are no words to say how incredible it feels to learn you have a serious illness and to be able to accept such news as an opportunity for healing. And no words to describe the power and grace of knowing I am loved and am love, and that all I need to do is listen to and trust my body.” I am deeply inspired and so pleased your blog is hear to also inspire others. Frances you are a true inspiration!

299. Thank you Frances for sharing your illness and healing Journey so beautifully and profoundly. And yes there are no words to describe the acceptance of a serious illness as an amazing healing opportunity or to describe the power and grace of knowing you are loved and are love but you do an amazing job at it.
     Sharing how you learned to trust and listen to your body is very empowering, evolving and graceful to read.

300. I agree Alison, to see any illness and disease as a blessing and an opportunity for healing is a very inspiring way to live life. Living this way is saying that I am not going to blame anyone else for my choices but take full responsibility for what happens to me. Awesome.

301. Thank you Frances your last paragraph says it all, knowing that your illness was a blessing and that it has allowed you to evolve as a person is what illness is all about. It is so easy to get caught up in trying to ‘get better’ that we do not always see that illness and disease are a blessing and a graceful moment for us to stop and look at our lives. “There are no words to say how incredible it feels to learn you have a serious illness and to be able to accept such news as an opportunity for healing. And no words to describe the power and grace of knowing I am loved and am love, and that all I need to do is listen to and trust my body. My illness provided me with an opportunity to not only heal, but to evolve as a person. It has been an amazing grace in my life”. so very true Frances, thank you for sharing.

302. So profound your words “There are no words to say how incredible it feels to learn you have a serious illness and to be able to accept such news as an opportunity for healing. And no words to describe the power and grace of knowing I am loved and am love, and that all I need to do is listen to and trust my body.” This itself is a far deeper Healing and Grace than the disappearance of the symptoms. With the disappearance of symptoms it is easy to rush back and live the same life as before. But the understanding that you have gained, the level of acceptance and appreciation you have reached brings a depth of quality in your life that will be with you forever.

303. It’s so wonderful when we can open to the bigger picture and see illness for what it is, simply a necessary clearing and a great healing.

304. The image of you observing your photo as an 8 year old girl holding your mother’s hand is very touching. Yes how do we go from being healthy vibrant children to needing cancer treatment? It is wonderful that you embraced the cancer treatment and experienced healing from the process, and that you have found your way back.

305. The grace which I feel when reading this blog Frances is truly lovely.

306. This is a beautiful example Frances of what Serge Benhayon has said all along, that: “The marriage of Western Medicine and Esoteric Medicine is the greatest union that will serve humanity”

     1. From what Frances has shared and what Serge Benhayon has always said by combining the two medicines we will start to truly heal what is at play – it makes complete sense. As we have been experiencing for a long time now that our current statistics of health keep rising and getting worse – Esoteric Medicine is the missing link.

        1. Natalie, I totally agree. For a long long time, I rejected most forms of western or conventional medicine and was still not an example of optimal health and wellbeing. Like you, I too found that Esoteric Medicine was the missing link and that both are needed for true healing, inside and out.

     2. I agree with you Rosanna, Serge has always said that he is pro medicine. Esoteric Medicine should be working hand in hand with Western Medicine. Frances’ story demonstrates so well how the two together can work ‘miracles’.

307. Your approach to working with your cancer is very inspiring, your engagement with and embracing of complementary esoteric therapies, the graceful acceptance of your illness and what it is offering you, and your appreciation of conventional medicine have brought you the healing you so gracefully enjoy today.

308. To accept and then appreciate what life is always reflecting to us with such grace is inspiring…thank you: turning life from a beast to be survived into the greatest teacher and true parent we could ever wish for.

     1. So beautifully captured Matilda. Frances’s writing truly provides an inspiration to cease the bracing against life’s reflections such as illness and instead embrace the love and wisdom we are offered .

309. This is great to read. Another great example of the beauty and support offered by Universal Medicine and its practitioners alongside conventional medicine. What shouts out reading it is the level of self care you took along the way too, and being offered sessions from your bed as it were, you were able to honour how you felt in each moment along the way.

310. Profound reading Francis thank you for sharing with so much love for everyone to read and appreciate the true purpose of illness and the healing it can bring to our lives.
     Very beautiful and inspiring for all and different from what we usually hear.

311. Acceptance, Appreciation and Grace sing out from your writing, Frances, thank you.

312. This paragraph is so profound: “When I got home from receiving the diagnosis of cancer I studied the photo I have beside my bed of me as an eight-year old girl walking along with my Mother holding my hand. I looked at this little girl and felt sad that I had brought her to this place today requiring cancer treatment, although on the other hand, I knew that she was in capable hands – mine, the medical profession’s and the practitioners of Universal Medicine”.
     Instead of trying to negate what is going on, allowing time to sit and reflect on what learning life is offering. Being honest and accountable in feeling the possibility that whatever we are experiencing has its roots in our own previous choices. Choosing to look at the loving options we have going forward and firmly choosing responsibility for how our life unfolds. Very beautiful.

313. Once again what a truly inspiring story for people with cancer or any other disease or illness. I really liked how you looked at you as the eight year old and although feeling sad you totally took responsibility for your illness. Thats where we all have to realise these things just don’t happen for no reason.

314. A beautiful sharing, thank you Frances. Your choice to embrace the fact that you were in capable hands, yours and those of Universal Medicine practitioners, deeply empowering. A true healing; wonderful to read that you completely cleared you body of the ill energy of cancer, having taken full responsibility for it.

315. Frances, your joy shines through your writing. To read your story and how you have approached illness, is very inspiring. As I read I can feel a person who has chosen to live, instead of give up on yourself and life. Your sharing has inspired me this morning, to not give up on myself or life either.

316. To read about someone that has gone through a serious illness like cancer and shares how it has not only been an amazing opportunity for a healing but also to evolve as a person with grace is extremely inspiring. This blog clearly shows that there is another way in which we can take responsibility for what occurs in our bodies and that it isn’t something that has sudden appeared from no where and how unfair life is or that it doesn’t make sense. How every choice that we make has a major impact on our body and being.

317. Inspirational and a new understanding of illness and disease ,a very touching, honest sharing of your experience and your life taking responsibility. Thank you Francis

318. This comment alone is remarkable “I was able to embrace my situation and move through the numerous hospital appointments with a lightness of being.” Not many cancer patients would feel like this – it is inspiring to read your acceptance and responsibility in your healing.

319. It was amazing to read that when you considered healing, you recognised that you were in capable hands: your own hands, the medical profession’s and the practitioners of Universal Medicine. I have observed that the combination of these three set the foundation for the greatest possible healing.

     1. I agree Golnaz and the opportunity to see and understand that the illness is a healing in itself plays a big part.

320. Frances this is truly revolutionising the way in which we can see where we are at, really look at why we are there and then say ok maybe that hasn’t worked for me and I can try another way. A way that is more responsible in how I live with myself and others. I have pulled my sleeves up and ready to have a good look at myself – sometimes it gets a bit uncomfortable but once I get through an issue that feels tricky I feel amazing and so much freer of what ever it was holding me down.

321. Frances thank you for sharing your story. The responsibility that you have taken for the cancer and your healing is incredible – it comes through so strong in the article and it inspires me in my life. There is no blame on others but a loving will to take care of yourself and not expect things to be fixed for you.

322. Well said Vanessa, I completely agree

323. Frances this is deeply inspiring. It is remarkable and yet amongst the students that study with Universal Medicine it seems to be a common thread that their is an ability to accept their illness, look at the root cause of how they lived to bring about the clearing take responsibility for how they are living day to day and have the most immense grace and understanding of why they are ill. It is extremely inspiring and redefines what normal can be.

     1. Yes true Vanessa. It was not the case several years ago before I came across Universal Medicine, but now with the immense understanding and knowing I have about life, all of the remarkable things shared here has become the absolute normal in my life.

324. I totally agree what others have pointed out that there is not an ounce of pity or being a victim in your experience with cancer. Extremely graceful and inspiring. That you took responsibility for how your body had got to that state by the loving support of Esoteric Practitioners. Also the fantastic support of the medical team and all the drugs that were there to support you through the physical healing that needed to happen as well. It really sounds like it was a marriage of both Medical and Esoteric Healing that has you where you are today.

325. It is a great example to others Frances, how you view your illness as a way of learning and to evolving yourself further. It’s very different from how mainstream medicine views illness, but with the conventional medicine and the support of Universal Medicine practitioners, you have moved mountains. Well done.

326. Frances thanks for your inspiring blog, so awesome to read how a illness can bring much healing and evolvement to ones life and not looked upon as a devastation to ones life.

327. Hi Frances, thank you for your article. You describe so well how very present and supportive Universal Medicine is for all the challenges we may encounter in everyday life. I love the part when you write about “not having to travel too far and wide”, this says it all. Equally I have never found anything so accessible and supportive to my daily living.

328. Dear Francis thank you for sharing your truly inspirational journey to a loving way . All the responsibility and healing throughout from the union of conventional medicine and that of Esoteric medicine with Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine a is real gift for everyone to read.

329. Having spent a long time thinking you had to choose between conventional and complementary medicine, it is inspiring and liberating to hear stories of the power and impact of working with both. Add taking responsibility for ourselves to this mix and we are really onto something. Thank you, Frances.

     1. True Matilda, it is so liberating and inspiring that it is not an either or with Conventional Medicine and Universal Medicine – that both of them can work hand in hand as an immense support to healing. And Self Responsibility is a key ingredient for providing the best medium for both of them to do their thing.

330. I can imagine that it would be an amazing support to have a Esoteric Practitioner you trust and know to support you through a health issue. I have had the benefit with out any major situation or issue but can say my life is infinitely supported and enhanced by the Esoteric Healing modalities.

331. I was never fully diagnosed with Cancer, but I was informed that I had signs of pre cancerous cells and that one of my ovaries was complete shrivelled up and not visible. With the support of Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine practitioners through sessions, workshops and courses my ovaries are now functioning beautifully. I went for a follow up scan and was advised both my ovaries were now fully visible and had active blood flow.

     1. That is so extraordinary and beautiful to read Amita. Our bodies are so responsive to our choices, and so willing to release illness when we live in a way that is harmonious and deeply respectful to ourselves. Combine that with conventional medicine and we have a the most powerful medicine that is.

     2. This is a great example Amita of how together with conventional medicine, we can take an active part in supporting ourselves to heal.

332. Frances. A beautiful and inspirational writing on what you went through.

333. I agree Golnaz this is truly inspiring both in the approach of seeing a serious illness as an opportunity to grow and heal and also the approach of combining the conventional medicine approach and the truly supportive complementary approach – the best of both worlds!

     1. Me too, Andrew and Golnaz, I want to say we are lucky (but have chosen to look at this, so have made good choices) to be able to see pain as an opportunity for healing, and it so alters my view of the pain when I have it. I LOVE the combination of conventional and Universal Medicine, it makes such sense.

        1. Yes, and me too, Andrew, Golnaz and Gill, and it is not just pain but any sort of of uncomfortability. If we recognise it for what it is and take our time to feel it, then we can make a choice to see it as a healing opportunity and not something bad to avoid and that we want to get rid of. I have been very glad, after years of avoiding conventional medicine, that it is there, as it has given me opportunity to live my life again by being able to walk, also see and hear, but I am equally sure that I wouldn’t be feeling like that if I hadn’t met Universal Medicine and been encouraged in that direction, at the same time as being supported to find the natural and true well being that is inherent inside me which allows the medical interventions to be truly healing.

334. What an inspiring way to look at illness and disease: An opportunity to not only heal, but to evolve as a person – an amazing grace in your life.
     And what a wonderful loving way to support yourself in your healing: Universal Medicine modalities and Western Medicine alongside one another to offer you what is needed for your healing.

335. Thank you for sharing your experiences Frances and I am so glad to hear of how you have embraced the opportunity for healing in your life that others would see as a misery. You are an inspiration. Much love to you.

336. Wow, Frances what a wonderfully positive story! Another great example of how Western Medicine and the different healing modalities of Universal Medicine can work so perfectly hand in hand.

     1. So bringing together what are often seen as conflicting practises – Western and Complementary Medicine – to truly look after and support humanity….pretty cool.

     2. Absolutely, Kev! The two go hand in hand so beautifully. Frances’ article shows so beautifully how there is no rejection of conventional medicine by the esoteric, in fact it is embraced.

337. Thank you Frances, for this brilliant blog. It gives us the reflection that everything we are given with illness and disease, ( and everything that happens to us! ) is an opportunity for us to heal ourselves.

338. This is indeed a testament to what Universal Medicine presents…Self-healing and self-care along side Conventional Medicine – it works wonders!

     1. So true Rebecca

339. Frances, thank you for your very inspiring article showing your dedication to yourself and listening to your body for what was right for you in your healing process and how you show the modalities of Universal Medicine and Western Medicine worked so well together in supporting you.

340. Frances – imagine how many people going through cancer treatment would be inspired by your words, your lived experience of going through something like that with a love and knowing it is a healing. Not one ounce of self pity is in your writing, acceptance and responsibility for your beautiful body thats awe inspiring. Thank you for sharing very inspirational.

     1. Yes this is very empowering.

     2. I totally agree Vanessa, how inspiring would it be to read this article if you where struggling with cancer, either personally or in a friend or relative, and find another way that isn’t full of fear and unknowns. That is why I find your article so amazing, because of the potential it has to help so many people who need it.

341. What an amazing story you have shared Frances. It is amazing to read people who have managed to find a joy, content and a love for themselves at a time that for most people is very hard. Your experience with the marriage of western medicine and Esoteric modalities in supporting your healing sounds amazing, thank you for sharing.

     1. Frances It is amazing to read how you ‘have managed to find joy, content and a love for yourself during such difficult times. Especially when it is so easy to give up. You working with Western and Esoteric Medicine to support your healing is inspirational.

342. Dear Frances – this is a truly beautiful story and so much joy and love. Thank you.

343. I have not had a serious illness in my life yet, but I have been very supported by Serge Benhayon, Universal Medicine practitioners and other students when I have been ill. I have seen the GP and taken conventional medication, and also had sessions from practitioners. The difference of the way I’ve had support is fantastic, everyone has allowed me to have my journey to look at what has happened and I have learnt so much by my illness.

344. A powerful blog Frances . Thank you for sharing with us how you combined Conventional Medicine and the Esoteric Healing modalities to support your body during its healing process.

345. A very inspiring article, the chemo wash/chakra puncture feels as beautifull as it sounds. Meeting and knowing Serge Benhayon, Universal Medicine and the Universal Medicine Practioners has been and is an absolute blessing. The support and love they provide for others is tremendous and a reflection that we can be and do exactly the same for both ourselves and others as well. I have such a deeper understanding of the body, my body and know a different and more loving way to live that truly supports me.

346. Frances, thank you for sharing the story of your healing process from Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. It was inspirational to read about your approach to the illness and the use of healing modalities to support the medical treatment that you received.

347. Incredibly inspiring!

348. Thank you Frances for sharing your amazing journey of healing through cancer and how you were supported by conventional treatments as well as esoteric modalities. I loved your last comment ‘My illness provided me with an opportunity to not only heal, but to evolve as a person. It has been an amazing grace in my life.’ This is such an inspiring way to look at it and deserves much wider recognition.

     1. I agree Helen. A very powerful statement that illness can actually be an amazing grace in our life and can bring an opportunity to heal and evolve! Just considering the possibility of this is enough to inspire a different way – more lovingly working ‘with’ what the illness is showing us and less of a fighting mode or pretending it never happened.

349. Yes Frances, this had been so beautiful to read and truly inspiring. This blog presents us all with a wonderful opportunity to feel how illness can be deeply healing if approached with openness and Love. Thank you for sharing, and thank you too Universal Medicine

350. …an amazing insight into illness and the loving opportunity to grow and heal oneself.

351. Dear Frances Taylor-Marshall
     Your story or shall I say journey is deeply inspiring and very welcome at a time when so many are now being diagnosed with cancer. What you are saying is that there is another way.
     I like you, throughout the 80’s and up to 2005 had been a workshop junkie and I called myself a spiritual addict. I went all around the world looking for something on the outside but the dots were not joining until I came across the esoteric teachings from Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine.
     When I had major surgery, I recall the hospital staff commenting on my recovery which really was amazing and also my surgeon kept visiting me often as he was not used to seeing anyone actually looking forward to going in to have a tumour removed and not showing any signs of fear.
     At the time, I had true support from Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine practitioners that definitely helped me get through the process and heal. Like you, I felt my illness gave me the opportunity to evolve as a person and this I know happened.

     1. Amazing Bina, ‘I felt my illness gave me the opportunity to evolve as a person and this I know happened.’

     2. This is truly amazing Bina

     3. Thank you for your inspiring story Bina.

     4. Bina, perhaps you showed the medical staff that illness or disease does not have to be feared and demonized as it is so common for modern medicine to always be ‘fighting’ a war on this or that disease, instead of welcoming as an opportunity for true deep healing and life lessons that give us more awareness about ourselves.

        1. Yes, Michael this is so true. There is no war, but deep healing and true grace.

        2. Yes so true. I am used to hearing about projects to fight diseases, or about the person who defeated their illness – this is championed I feel in order to compensate for the fact that everyone tends to gets scared or give up when they get diagnosed. There is seldom any mention of learning from or welcoming the evolving offered through the illness. Articles such as this and Bina’s share are wonderful inspiring real life stories.

     5. How awesome it would be for hospital staff to see more people approach their illnesses like Frances and Bina.Hospitals could become places of joy and growth instead of read and stagnation.

        1. Yes Catherine. I love the possibility you mention, of hospitals being full of joyful people embracing the opportunity of grace, learning and growth they are offered through their bodies.

     6. Bina and Frances you have shown that there is another way to look at illness and that it can be an opportunity to truly heal.

352. Dear Frances, thank you for sharing your story.

353. It is amazing to hear how different your experience of serious illness is to most. With the support of Universal Medicine practitioners and presentations there are many situations I can now walk into with confidence, and actually enjoy, where as in the past I would have been in panic or fear.

     1. The word enjoy in Frances’ article stood out for me. How she embraced her illness and explored the possibilities it presented was truly beautiful, and inspirational to read.

        1. I agree Laura and Catherine – Francis, it is truly amazing and extremely inspiring to hear how different you experience of serious illness is to most.

354. Thanks for sharing you story of healing Frances.

355. What beautiful writing Frances. Immensely healing. Thank you.

356. Francis the sharing of your healing is incredible. How you have actively engaged in the process of healing for your body and soul – Not handing control over to anyone but truly feeling what will truly support and assist you in your evolution as a person. You have embraced the opportunity to evolve which is so often overlooked or missed when it comes to illness and disease.

     1. Beautifully written Anne-Marie.

     2. Well said Anne-Marie – it is inspiring how Francis took responsibility and did not give her power away.

357. The humility and grace in your writing, Frances, is inspirational. Thank you.

     1. I agree Matilda, it takes great humility to stop and take time to understand your illness, and be responsible for it, and for your healing. Reading this article has helped my fear of cancer and illness lessen, because it shows me another way to see and deal with it.

358. I completely agree what a beautiful blog.

359. This is glorious Frances. “There are no words to say how incredible it feels to learn you have a serious illness and to be able to accept such news as an opportunity for healing. And no words to describe the power and grace of knowing I am loved and am love, and that all I need to do is listen to and trust my body.” These words just say it all.

     1. I agree Rebecca – the words say it all and what a great realisation.

     2. That part stood out for me as well – so amazing to see serious illness as an opportunity for healing and to be able to embrace and accept it as such.

     3. Yes very powerful words indeed. This is the gift that Universal Medicine has offered so many. This approach to illness with this level of responsibility and honouring of our body, alongside the gifts of Conventional Medicine – together they can do wonders.

360. An absolute inspiration thank you Frances, it is huge healing for all to hear you say that your illness has provided you with the opportunity to heal and evolve as a person. “…no words to describe the power and grace of knowing I am loved and am love, and that all I need to do is listen to and trust my body. ”
     Wow what insight Frances and to hear you say that It has been an amazing grace in your life is true inspiration for anybody with an illness or diagnosis. You have shown us the opportunities and healing that are there for us. Thank you

     1. Absolutely Samantha.

361. Wow Frances, your joyful light approach to serious illness is nothing short of inspiring. What a beautiful example of what an absolute dedication to healing can bring, and the true grace that can be felt with such a dedication.

362. Having had 60 years of NHS in UK where people had the perception that their responsibility of their health was taken from them and the doctor knows best, we are slowly turning a corner and learning the balance of true medicine. I adore the truth of future medicine being a trio of the medical profession, complementary practice and self care working together and your experience of the success of this, Frances.

     1. I agree Gill, knowing that more and more medical professionals, self care providers and people in general are seeking deeper answers to illness and disease makes me feel that we are heading down the right path.

363. Thank you Frances for this beautiful piece of writing. This is the future of medicine that you are living now: medical profession, complementary practices and self-care working as one, towards true healing. Your grace, so eloquently expressed inspires your readers. It would have also unburdened the medical staff who cared for you, giving them a much needed respite from the distress that so many carry with their illness.

     Your final quote speaks volumes about you; ” It has been an amazing grace in my life.” As one who knows you, that amazing grace is truly lived by you in every moment.

364. Yes, there is in fact a revolution in health care happening right here and now! This is such a shining example of how esoteric medicine and orthodox medicine can work together along with a willing patient who is open to truly embracing the healing their body is offering them. It’s not so much the end result of this story that is inspiring but the willingness for all 3 parts to work together to create a wholistic approach to the true healing the body offers us to embrace. And isn’t it simply exquisite to feel it coming from a place of deep love and appreciation and not loaded with an ounce of stress, fear or righteousness. Thank you for your joy-full sharing Frances 😀

365. it is an such an inspirational message for us all. I love re-reading it. It is definitely the way forwards.

366. Frances, what an inspiration you are. I love how you were just so honest with yourself and took full responsibility for your well-being, not relying on any magic pill, but truly looking at choices and consequences…and seeing the opportunity to truly evolve. Your story and many others that I know of who have allowed the honesty of the body to speak, need to be heard so as to inspire others. You have married both Western Medicine and Esoteric Healing with much grace and wisdom.

367. Beautiful to read Frances thank you for sharing your journey with Illness and cancer with support from traditional medicine and Universal Medicine and the true healing that can come from this if we are prepared and open to listen and choose and truly heal ourselves .An Inspiration .

368. I love the marriage of western medicine and universal medicine, they are both supportive in different ways, and are truly complementary. It’s a perfect match made in heaven.

369. How amazing Frances to feel the blessing your illness brought you through your writing. There aren’t that many people who get cancer and feel the same way. It is true, the marriage of western medicine and universal medicine is perfect. I can feel the love of all the health care professionals who supported you, both from the hospital and universal medicine clinic. Thank you for sharing. This was an inspiring read.

370. Thank you Frances for sharing your healing pathway that provided an opportunity to explore all aspects of the diagnosis and allow true healing.

371. ‘My illness provided me with an opportunity to not only heal, but to evolve as a person. It has been an amazing grace in my life.’ This turns everything upside down. To approach a life threatening diagnosis with this openness and grace is true inspiration. Thank you.

372. Very inspiring read Frances, the way you have described your illness and your treatment totally knocks all the old beliefs of cancer on the head. The “C” word was not to be mentioned when I was a youngster, just in case. A bit like a curse. What comes across in your sharing, is how open you were to the cancer and the treatment – there is no sense of fear. Thank you for sharing Frances.

373. The way you have accepted your illness, and the benefits that have brought through in your treatment come through so clearly in the blog, and I am sure was a huge part in the healing process. It’s an amazing journey to read.

374. Totally agree, reading this beautiful blog is a blessing

375. An awesome blog Frances, I love the way you describe looking at yourself as a little girl of 8 years old, walking with your mother, and feeling that gorgeous connection to yourself again. Your feeling with such honesty of the sadness is a healing in itself.

376. Wow Frances this is so inspiring. I was deeply touched by all you wrote but especially love…”My illness provided me with an opportunity to not only heal, but to evolve as a person. It has been an amazing grace in my life.” I work as a registered nurse and this is so different to the way the majority of people see illness. Well done for accepting your illness as an opportunity to heal and supporting your body with both conventional and esoteric healing, thus allowing true healing to occur. You are awesome and very inspiring Frances, thank you for sharing.

377. Frances, I see how you were looking for true answers and so you found true support. You got the Big diagnosis, and with the loving support of esoteric practitioners you handled it with deep self honesty (without judgement!), you committed to your self and were open to fully receive the support that was offered you from conventional and Universal Medicine. So beautiful. This story is healing in itself.

     1. Agreed, this is a truly beautiful blog about a topic that is often seen as ugly to talk about

378. This is such an inspiration Frances. The choices you have made are truly amazing and your strength and unwavering steadiness a shining example.

379. An amazing and inspiring blog Frances. You describe a whole new way to look at illness and disease.

380. Thankyou so much Frances for this wonderful blog. An inspiring read – would be great to be in all waiting rooms in the country. ” ….I was affording myself the best possible healing opportunities, allowing me to focus on the matters necessary for my body to do what it does best – heal itself!” Combining western medicine with esoteric healing – supporting yourself with loving choices every step of the way. Awesome.

381. Frances thank you. I am inspired and feel a deep level of appreciation for what you’ve written as well as the amazing and loving support from Universal Medicine and everyone involved. Your story and how you have embraced what your body has shown you is so very different from every other story in the press I’ve read. This should be read by everyone.

382. Frances, that you were able to move through what would generally be a daunting and scary process with a “lightness of being” is a testament to your inner strength and willingness to be a partner in the process. And the support of the esoteric treatments in complementing your chemotherapy and radiotherapy offers a great learning of how to manage your own health through such a process and allow space for the body to heal, something the body is actually rather good at. Awesome.

383. A blessing to read Frances. It is truly amazing that you can claim that the serious illness you have is not a burden or a hindrance, but instead is an ‘opportunity for healing’, and I think everyone who reads this beautiful blog can agree that you are indeed making the most of this opportunity.

384. It is very humbling to read the way you did not choose to identify yourself with an illness, but stayed strong instead and true to yourself.

385. This is such a beautiful sharing Frances. How to live with love to fully accept and embrace serious illness in a very different way with yourself, the medical profession and Universal Medicine. In deep appreciation of you and the inspiration you bring to all.

386. Frances, this is an inspiring read, simple, heartfelt and real. Thank you for sharing a pathway of medical and energetic support that anyone dealing with illness or disease can embrace.

387. Thank you for sharing about your healing and evolving Frances. What an ‘ amazing grace ‘ in your life as you so truthfully say.

388. A powerful article and an inspiration for anyone who is challenged by a life threatening illness or disease. The self care and nurturing you chose to make with the amazing support of Universal Medicine practitioners has allowed you to heal and grow and offered a healing to all around you. Thank you.

389. Frances,this is an inspiring read on so many, many levels, not least your love of self, such a beautiful light shining through, thank you

390. Frances, the simplicity and love with which you present your experience is a true inspiration.
     “There are no words to say how incredible it feels to learn you have a serious illness and to be able to accept such news as an opportunity for healing. And no words to describe the power and grace of knowing I am loved and am love, and that all I need to do is listen to and trust my body. My illness provided me with an opportunity to not only heal, but to evolve as a person. It has been an amazing grace in my life.”
     Awesome. Thank you for sharing.

     1. I absolutely agree with the section you’ve highlighted, Beverley. If this could be understood and embraced by a wider society, it could provide the missing piece for humanity when it comes to being diagnosed with an illness or disease. Thus moving forward with responsibility and a feeling of empowerment . Thank you, Frances for all you have shared openly and with a deep sense of honour of yourself. Very inspiring.

391. Thank-you Frances for sharing your journey through your illness, and most of all, with yourself. The power and solidity of your love is felt in every word, and I can’t help but feel, how true healing is never (nor should it be) a ‘solitary’ process. True healing is about love – our commitment to living it every day, loving others and letting it in. ‘Love’ can be felt in the whole of what you share here, in the support of both Western and Esoteric Medicine, and how you are with yourself. What a beacon, for so many.
     Your embracing of all the levels of support around you, your deep appreciation, and your inner conviction and commitment to self stand as testimony for any of us who may face such challenges in life, or indeed anyone with awareness and appreciation of what true healing may entail. Truly beautiful, and a privilege to read and feel, thank-you.

392. Thank you Frances for sharing with us here, your relationship with cancer. What a lovely support team you have built around you, as you say; “in capable hands – mine, the medical profession’s and the practitioners of Universal Medicine.” What an awesome combination.

     1. I agree it was great to read about having a support team – I haven’t had a serious illness in the past but I would imagine that many people feel they should be tough and try to ‘face it’ alone, but Frances has presented another way here, a way in which building the support team can help to truly heal

393. Thank you Frances, I agree completely with you regarding the support of esoteric practitioners. They can help us to understand our role in the cause of the disease i.e. how we have lived that has led to this point and also how we can best do our part to effect the healing that it offers us. This makes so much more sense than running our bodies into the ground and then expecting the doctors to fix us, which is how I used to think.

     1. Well shared Doug, definitely a better way to look after our body. The Esoteric Modalities are a beautiful support to the healing of our body.

394. Hi Frances (aged carer), it was very great to read that you accepted this serious illness as an ‘opportunity for healing’ and testament to the fact your body responded so well because you were so willing to face this disease head on. Very inspiring, thank you.

395. Truly inspiring to read your experience of the real life-enhancing benefits to be gained from the marriage of conventional medicine and esoteric treatments. What shines through is the role you yourself played in the process, adding that vital third element to the trilogy in truly supporting yourself. This is the new template for health management.

     1. Absolutely Cathy, I totally agree.

        1. Yes Cathy, beautifully put, ‘the new template for health management”. In doing so, there is no victimhood in being ill.

        2. Beautiful blog, and beautifully expressed response Cathy- I totally agree.

     2. I agree Cathy, the Trilogy you write about feels like an amazingly supportive way in which to heal yourself.

396. Frances, what an inspiring post. I can feel your commitment to your healing and the wisdom to combine and accept the support around you.

397. Wow Frances, thank you for sharing. The love you have written with is evident and can be felt, no blame for the cancer, instead using it as a marker, a point to evolve and learn from rather than fight and resist. Inspiring to read – ‘all I need to do is listen to and trust my body’, something we can all do more of.

398. Wow. Thank you, Frances. Something so huge so lightly and sweetly expressed. Very inspiring and ‘super loving’.

399. Beautiful Frances, what an amazing experience. To be able to embrace such a diagnosis and take yourself through the process in such a supportive and loving way is truly inspirational. You have shown us all that there is another way to regard serious illness, that it is an opportunity to deeply heal and deeply nurture oneself. Your self responsibility offers us a true way forward and how amazing that you should truly own that it was your choices and behaviour that led to the illness and that you also knew you had gathered around you the best support available to deal with it. Thank you for your honesty and wisdom.

     1. I agree Rowena, one of the many things that is so inspiring about this blog by Frances is the grace to accept responsibility for one’s choices without self-judgement. This is extremely liberating and prepares fertile ground for true healing.

        1. So true Janet accepting responsibility is one of the great healing possible.

400. Dear Frances thank you for sharing this. I can feel the love and commitment you have to life. What you share is a living example that by engaging fully with what you are presented with in life is an opportunity to heal rather than a frightening trauma. “There are no words to say how incredible it feels to learn you have a serious illness and to be able to accept such news as an opportunity for healing.” Your experience is also a powerful endorsement of the willingness of Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine to work with orthodox medicine and the efficacy of such a collaboration.

401. Thank you Frances for sharing your journey with us all and to know that through your understanding and healing of your own body you have been able to clear cancer and it is no longer in your body. There is much in your writing to reflect on and it is so lovely the way you have so positively embraced your illness and allowed both conventional medicine and Universal Medicine to support you in your healing. I love your last paragraph, if the whole world embrace sickness and disease with this philosophy the health services around the world would not be under the immense pressure they are today.

     1. I totally agree

     2. Spot on Amina, it definitely goes to show, what conventional medicine and Universal Medicine can achieve together. Beautifully awesome.

402. Hi Frances, thank you for sharing your story, I was deeply touched by your honesty and inspired by the self-loving way you approached the process of healing.

403. WOW – awesome blog! I love how you write “how incredible it feels to learn you have a serious illness and to be able to accept such news as an opportunity for healing”, as well as the blessing you provide everyone with a serious illness by saying “my illness provided me with an opportunity to not only heal, but to evolve as a person. It has been an amazing grace”

     1. So true Jessica, I agree totally.

     2. I agree, a beautiful and refreshing perspective to take, rather than just seeing illness as some kind of a curse or burden.

     3. So lovely and so true, what a supportive way to look at illness and disease. By embracing the medical treatments rather than resisting them through fear as so many can do, along with having chakra puncture treatments and online yoga, making it more about opportunities to heal and to learn and to evolve. A wondrous way of looking at this. Thank you for a beautiful reminder of a very different way of approaching medical treatment. It seems to me to take the pressure off both the patient and also the medical professionals themselves. As patients we can often forget our own responsibility for our wellness in the hope that someone can ‘fix’ it for us. And often the burden of being expected to know and fix can be a very heavy weight for those professionals, especially when there may be no ‘solution’ or ‘fix’. How lovely it must also have felt for them to have such a reflection.

        1. I agree Jeanette – when there is a different approach taken to illness and disease involving the patient taking more responsibility for their health and wellbeing and caring for themselves, it can take the pressure off the patient and their medical professionals. Imagine what it would be like to combine a patient’s self-regard, support from Universal Medicine (the complementary form of healthcare mentioned in this article) and integrity in medicine during the process of an illness or disease, now that could be miraculous

     4. So true, I completely agree.

     5. I agree Jessica, those words are so inspiring, so simply expressed from the heart. And the whole blog is clear about it being a whole experience, not a dependency on anyone, but a true working relationship between ourselves, the Medical profession, with the support of Universal Medicine. Thank you Frances, and for also making it so clear that illness is an opportunity for us to heal at a deep level and for our own growth.

     6. Amazingly said jess.

404. Hi Frances, your expression here is price-less. Your joy and deep appreciation for the support you received from the universal medicine practitioners and the medical profession – I can feel. Thank you for sharing Frances.

     1. Hi Shevon, you have said exactly what I felt so ‘hear hear’ awesome blog and appreciation to Frances and Universal Medicine practitioners.
