1. Why are we not educated to understand that any form of illness is our body’s way of managing ill energy that we have let into our bodies? We live such a fast paced life now of our own making which has an impact and to try and keep up with this pace we use many kinds of stimulants to keep our bodies working. Imagine if we took away all the medicines and the medical profession for say just 6 months, then I feel we would get to feel how sick we really are.

2. Our body is a clear bridge to come back to our divine nature, that keeps inviting us to surrender and remove any barrier we may have put in the way of our return

3. Eva-Maria, what a journey you have been on. Most people would go into sympathy and I feel that wouldn’t have helped in how you were feeling. You needed the true support of what was required at that time.

   As I read your experience, you can feel how you accepted the cancer rather than it being doom and gloom, any illness or disease is a clearing, it is how we perceive it. The body will naturally say it has had enough, no different to mother earth having her clearing from time to time.

   This is an inspirational and supporting read for all.

4. “if I am willing to really face these issues and change my life in a way that I truly love and honor my body, come to a stillness within (something I had always avoided) and allow myself to be who I truly am.” Thank you Eva-Maria for sharing your story, with the support of Universal Medicine you were able to bring understanding and purpose to your illness which inspired a new way of being with yourself, others, and life. You went from confusion to clarity and many healing experiences. There is a simplicity also to what you have shared, that life is about love, our stillness, and being ourselves. One of the keys is also listening to the body, something that has changed my life also.

5. ” I understood that cancer was my body’s way of clearing harmful energies I had taken on. By that I mean, that I had for years been living in a way that was not very loving, indeed it had been quite abusive and those choices had consequences for my body.” Understanding this is pure gold. How many cancer patients try to fight the disease without understanding and dealing with the energetic cause? No wonder there are so many secondaries arising in cancer patients.

   1. Sue, not only are ‘there so many secondaries arising in cancer patients’, but the multi symptomatic patients are on the rise too. More than one organ is packing up at the same time.

      At the end of the day, it boils down to the abuse and choices, and when they are unloving, then it is a no wonder the body will eventually clear, big time. No different to Mother Earth cleansing from time to time.

      We are accountable for our choices and as much as modern medicine supports us, the root cause also needs addressing too, we need to consider this in any illnesses.

6. The title of this blog is enough to start a tidal wave of reaction and understandably so. It’s going to take a very long time for the majority of us to agree with it but one day we will. We have locked ourselves away in an illusion, blindsided into believing that we are small human beings living a teeny tiny life here on planet Earth. But we’re not. We are majestic beings, eternal creatures that have temporarily got waylaid down here for such a long time that we have temporarily forgotten that planet Earth is not where we’re from. It is not our true Home, not at all.

7. “So I learned in a very fascinating way to connect to the deep wisdom of my body and to trust it even though it was very ill. I feel better now than I have ever felt before in and with my body. This huge clearing and healing has been one of the most amazing experiences in my life.’ Amazing Amazing Amazing what a journey to share and now we all get the blessing of hearing this miracle and the beauty of acceptance and responsibility.

8. “So I learned in a very fascinating way to connect to the deep wisdom of my body and to trust it even though it was very ill” Learning to trust our body rather than blame it in any way or think somehow it is letting us down is the most loving way to look at our illnesses. Our body is the truest marker we have and when we are able to be honest with ourselves and see that we are the ones that contribute to our illnesses we will see that our body is our most loyal partner.

   1. Well said Alison. Our body is the only things we have that is with us throughout our lifetime. We would do well to listen more to its messages and take the necessary action if we want to try to stay well and healthy.

9. “To connect to the deep wisdom of my body and to trust it even though it was very ill” – this line really stood out for me. How often have I seen my body as ‘broken’ or ‘out of order’, when in fact it was the only thing that knew the absolute truth, therefore showing how the consequences of my ill choices can be healed and corrected?

10. Eva-Maria thanks for sharing with such an honesty and openess your healing process. The moment you accepted what you were experiencing in your body feels very freeing to read. Love the fact that what could be seen as a curse transforms in a beautiful opportunity to see and heal the old ways in how you were treating yourself. A very life-changing experience who leads a new and a very different way to approach an illness.

11. Thank you for such an inspiring blog. I am too discovering recently that panic gets you nowhere and only makes matters worse and there is a way I can connect back to my body and a strength and steadiness that is always there underneath the uneasiness.

12. As your sharing shows Eva Maria, true healing is not about vanquishing illness or disease or regaining function but about coming back to a way of being that is loving and harmonious.

    1. There is a real shift in understanding about what true healing is, here. More than just restoring function; it is to gain deeper awareness of behaviours, emotions and patterns of being that led up to the illness in the first place and by changing those behaviours, emotions and patterns the root of the problem can be cut; leaving the body truly free to heal itself.

    2. Well said Carolien and I agree. The is a vast difference between healing and recovery.

13. This is a beautiful and honest account of the journey that is offered when one is confronted with illness or disease. It is not always an easy road and the things that are shown to us about our way of life and relationship without ourselves and others can be quite confronting, but it is all worth it for true healing can occur.

14. Universal Medicine and the teachings Serge Benhayon present have brought so much light on a subject that we have lost sight of, cancer. With all the great advancements and what the Western Medicine can offer, which is remarkable, the numbers of cancer still rise. Looking at the root cause and healing this for makes perfect sense and this is why I know what Serge presents is absolute truth.

15. It’s always such an inspirational read, from the honesty, rawness and openness about your initial emotional reactions (very understandable), to now having made such a huge shift to honouring your body, receiving support, being vulnerable with others, and surrendering to your inner love and stillness. Your blog offers much wisdom for any health condition.

16. “those choices had consequences for my body” When we realise that the choices we make in the way we live have consequences in our body we know we are writing our own prescription for how our body will respond.

17. Deeply touched by what you shared, thank you. I was moved to tears by the love, care and wisdom that was presented to you and from you that allowed your body and being to truly heal. The combination of Esoteric Healing and Western Medicine is the true way forward, but it might take some time as not all are ready to be as courageous and open to being that honest and living the truth as are you.

18. I am so inspired by this journey that you have shared, it reminds me that everything has a purpose and so there is always something to be assured by and this lets panic and fear subside while we can let the processes take place that need to.

19. The title to this blog could seem so ridiculous and insensitive if you didn’t read the blog or have any experience of understanding that the way we live is then reflected back through our body. That every choice we make has an impact on our body. What is beautiful to understand and take responsibility for is how this is our life and we choose. So to be shown through an ill-ness or dis-ease on what ever spectrum it is shown to us it really is an opportunity to take accountability for what we had chosen to get to that point. To release and clear those patterns and then heal what is not truly you. Yes now the title makes complete sense.

20. “I understood that my body had already tried to show me essential issues for so many years and that I have never really listened to it” Our body is amazing at letting us know that the way we are living is not loving or supportive, but unless we are willing to stop and listen it has to keep sending more and more messages in the form of illnesses until we are willing to make the changes.

    1. There is a real humility to listening to the body, at times we can think our behaviours and choices are “right” because they stem from ideals or beliefs, but the body is so truthful, it simply shares the effects of all our choices, no matter how “good” or “right” we feel those choices are.

21. It is such an amazing experience when we acknowledge that we are needing support in a crisis and then open up to asking for and receiving the support that is there. So important that we don’t try and go it alone.

22. I found myself nodding as I read ‘the root cause of cancer, which is always a certain way of being with oneself and others’ – as I can feel the truth in that so deeply and recognise this maligned energy in a way I can be at times. I may not have had cancer, but I can feel how an ill-energy can build up and take over what is natural and harmonious for us, and start manifesting physically and behaviorally.

23. This is so cool that you are prepared to be open and share what you have experienced and that with the support of Serge Benhayon and the teachings of Universal Medicine you have been able to look and feel your part in the process why the cancer has come along. What a freeing opportunity to be able to heal the root cause and then let go of it. So empowering and you can see that we have to take responsibility for what we choose.

24. What a learning we can have from reading and understanding what you are sharing here. “if I am willing to really face these issues and change my life in a way that I truly love and honor my body, come to a stillness within (something I had always avoided) and allow myself to be who I truly am, there would be no reason to be afraid of cancer anymore.” This makes absolute sense and is transferable to life in general.

25. “No matter which illness or disease we have, we can choose to accept it” Thank you for this.

26. This is very healing to read; how you totally changed your relationship with cancer from panic, fear and overwhelming emotions to one of acceptance of everything: the illness, the reasons and choices behind it, and then acceptance of the possible end result. I feel that this approach of changing our relationship to something, by building a more loving and consistent connection to our body, can be applied to anything – from how we feel about an illness, to a medication, to a relationship or a work situation. When we establish that connection to our body, and get to feel that depth of stillness underneath any surface emotions, we are much steadier and stronger, and it feels easier to deal with difficult situations that come up in life.

27. Changing how we feel about the medication we need to take and accepting the support it offers, makes all the difference and side effects can considerably lessen if not totally disappear. And it gives us a chance to really feel into what dosage we need, taking everything and especially individual physical and physiological differences into consideration.

28. It’s inspiring how you describe the change in your relationship with the injections of medication and highlights for me the big part we also play in how we are with any medication that we take…

    1. Yes, I can relate to this, I used to be very anti medication and in that way was basically instructing my body to not agree with the medication whereas when I take the medication in full awareness and appreciation of what it is supporting me with the body can absorb and use it in a much more easy and effective way.

29. I can really understand that your family and friends wanted to help you but didn’t know what to do. In this situation you can feel so emotional about what is ahead for the person with the cancer, all you want for them to recover but at the same time you feel you need to do something to support them, anything. That’s when honouring their healing process and continually letting them know that you are here for them is so important. It is their body and their life and so it is their choice as to what they are ready to accept.

30. We are constantly being presented with opportunities to evolve and some of these opportunities, no doubt bring challenges. What we do with these challenges is our own making – do we embrace what is being offered or do we dig in our heels, delay and avoid what is potentially a wonderful gift for ourselves and humanity.

31. It might sound a little strange saying congratulations you have cancer, yet if we understand the true healing that it brings, and the clarity that the way we have been living has been detrimental to our health, it is easier to bring change to our choices from understanding the true consequences of our past choices.

32. This is an inspiring read for anyone dealing with a serious illness, understanding that it is our body’s way of clearing the consequences of our past choices and healing in preparation for our future lives.

33. A very inspiring and beautiful account Eva-Maria on the power of true healing, to reflect on our choices and to see how they have impacted on our health over the years is a very important and responsible step in the healing process.

34. ‘I knew that I could now support my body and this process by accepting everything that comes with it, loving my body more and trusting in its deep wisdom.’ Thank you Eva Maria, inspires me to deepen my relationship with what my body is communicating with me and accept what is on offer while I am sitting here with a fractured wrist.

35. Just reading the words of how you choose to stay present with all the interventions and take all the support on offer, is calming and inspiring to not remain in an emotional reaction when we are diagnosed with a serious illness.

36. What I find amazing about this sharing of Eve-Maria’s cancer experience is the broad array of issues that were healed during the process, from the physical removal of the cancer, to drawing the connection between its location on her body and the fact she had been attacking her Light with her unloving choices, to the acceptance of help from others and ability to be fragile, the healing of past hospital experiences and understanding that the cancer is clearing out a massive load of non-physical energy that does not belong in her body. This is truly a massive healing on so many levels, but was only possible through Eva-Maria’s openness to the truth of what was going on and her ability to accept it in full with the support of Universal Medicine and modern medical practice working together.

    1. We cannot treat the part without treating the whole and this is really felt in this blog. As you share in your comment, it is such a vast array of issues on the plate for healing from anxiety and fear to the physical choices of treatment and yet the way Eva-Maria deals with it is step by step and not pretending any of the issues are not there. The combined support of Universal Medicine and the Doctors means the whole is what is addressed and that goes way beyond the physical body.

37. ‘No matter which illness or disease we have, we can choose to accept it, to look at what our body shows us and to clear and heal deeply. It is absolutely amazing to have such a chance.’ I totally agree Eva-Maria, the teachings of Serge Benhayon give us the understanding of what illness and disease is truly about and with this there is then the opportunity to heal ourselves on a much deeper level than just looking at the body.. with how we are living.

38. Wow what a gorgeous experience this is. Cancer is a scary thing when you are diagnosed with it. But what you explain here is a healing that is so profound – that brings true understanding to why these things come about, and that illness has a direct relationship with our choices and how we are living.

39. This is an amazing story. It is an incredible medicine in itself when we can accept and even appreciate a life threatening disease like cancer as an opportunity for deep healing. Such an inspiring sharing. Thank you, Eva-Maria.

40. It is deeply inspiring to feel how a true understanding of having cancer brought the opportunity for so much healing in facing the real issues and the root cause. It is also beautiful that there is such an appreciation for this and that being afraid also stopped being a factor.

41. Your blog offers such a blessing to all those who read this, illness and disease are always God’s way of offering us evolution and healing.

42. With the willingness to embrace one´s illness comes a sense of humbleness and insight that by its very nature becomes an essential part of the healing itself. It is an aspect of healing not yet honoured and understood for what it actually means by conventional or most forms of complementary medicine.

    1. Yes, humbleness and alignment to the greater purpose and the part our physical body plays within it are very good medicine indeed.

43. When we are able to come to the understanding that our diseases are a blessing and not a curse in the sense that they support the body to clear the toxins of an unloving way of living, we open the door for great healing to occur on many levels.

44. The support of the Esoteric Student community during times of need is something truly magnificent, I have witnessed, and received it, and it is a model for society in the world.

    1. Yes, this just goes to show that we do not have to ‘do it on our own’ and nor were we ever designed to. When cataclysm hits, be that in our body or our environment, humans have a natural tendency to come together and help each other. This should not only be observed but also deeply appreciated and valued for it is the truth of who we are.

45. “loving my body more and trusting in its deep wisdom.” Understanding the cause and effect of the way we live and that illness and disease is a healing offers an awareness of our responsibility in how we treat ourselves. Thank you Serge Benhayon.

46. To ‘let my medication in as a support’ is really key to make a drug work at its best for us with often having lesser side effects. It is the willingness to heal, to cooperate with the medical necessities that can make a real difference in one´s process of recovery. Advise and help on how to do that should be part of the prescription and patient information leaflet.

47. What incredible support you asked for and received from the Benhayon family. I was struck by your blog the effects our choices have on our bodies and feel you wrote an important message to us all, (perhaps not your intention), to take great care of ourselves, and to treat ourselves so preciously, as to listen to the wisdom of our bodies.

48. A deep and true understanding of what is going on, why we are feeling and acting as we do can help much to no longer be overwhelmed. And sometimes we may need a reset (with the help of a treatment or conversation) back to a state of being where we feel settled within ourselves to be reminded that nothing is really lost, we can come back being who we are without the distress and approach the challenging situation fresh on a solid base.

49. Everyone wants to be healed, ie is to be free of the suffering that comes with illness and disease but not everyone is willing to heal. It is the willingness to heal that opens the body and begin to heal just as you did when you made the choice to accept the fact of having cancer, to face the root cause and do whatever it takes.

50. Thank you Eva-Maria – a truly inspiring account. It seems to me we negate and or ignore our bodies at our peril, for they are constantly communicating their wisdom to us. Learning to listen to them is a beautiful place to get to, and one from which we can live life in a different, more loving and supportive way.

51. ” I felt that now it’s time to stop all of that disregard and to commit to love in its true essence. ”
    So lovely and so simple , thank you so much for sharing.

52. Just imagine being empowered enough to have such a what is considered usually dire diagnosis, and then to be living in a way that reflects the understanding of what is actually being offered by one’s body. This is the reconnection and the clarity that The Way of the Livingness offers to humanity.

    1. cjames2012 its world changing in the way cancer is being approached, something that embraces all that the medical community has to offer whilst also understanding what is behind the condition and what personal choices can be made to ensure a true healing takes place.

53. “I came to realise that the cancer is a way of my body showing me choices I have made in the past, and that it offers me a huge possibility to heal important issues.” An essential part of the diagnostic process that empowers us to understand the real ‘why’ behind the illness and empowers true change within us.

54. ‘No matter which illness or disease we have, we can choose to accept it, to look at what our body shows us and to clear and heal deeply. It is absolutely amazing to have such a chance.’ To look at your illness and disease this way Eva-Maria is unfathomable to the vast majority of us… to see cancer as a great opportunity breaks a vast consciousness about illness that is not yet our normal.

55. “It was an amazing feeling to be held in true love by the Benhayons and the students during the whole process.” Eva-Maria what a testimony for the truth of what the Benhayon family offer to society.

56. The lived wisdom that is offered here is profoundly healing whether we have cancer or not. Thank you Eva-Maria.

57. ‘ I came to realise that the cancer is a way of my body showing me choices I have made in the past, and that it offers me a huge possibility to heal important issues.’ Your blog is hugely inspirational and shows a different way with dealing with such traumatic disease such as cancer.

58. ” I understood that cancer was my body’s way of clearing harmful energies I had taken on. By that I mean, that I had for years been living in a way that was not very loving,” This makes so much sense. Disease is always a way for our body to discard what does not serve.

59. What incredible words of wisdom you have shared Eva-Maria. You have shaken something in me to step back into a solid commitment to live a life of love and nothing less.

60. A 101 guide to dealing with cancer in a way that truly serves. Thank you Eva-Maria.

61. Cancer can be a real blessing because it gives us an opportunity to change the way we have been living and the choices we have made, a beautiful time to clear what is no longer needed.

62. If we all accepted that illness and disease was how our body clears and heals itself back to harmony it would bring much more understanding to the root cause of why we manifested the disease in the first place.

    1. Yes and this blog is a great marker of where we can start to surrender and the true healing that is on offer.

63. The choice to accept and deepen is such a powerful tool for healing that has been shared in this blog. Inspiring at all levels in aspects of our lives.

64. We often do not look at the deeper root of our sickness, behaviours and issues, if we did, we would enable ourselves to clear them and heal them to a much greater level within our bodies. Even for one moment we allow ourselves to feel how we got to be the adult we are, for myself a woman, if I sit with it and feel what I celebrated and what hurt me along the way, then I feel why I respond, react as I do with life, from that I get to heal and not be owned by reactions. It is a choice that offers us a true freedom and health and is well worth exploring.

65. It is rare that people experience cancer to be the blessing that you have allowed it to be for you…. becoming aware of and stopping disregarding and unloving behavior and choosing instead to build a true connection to yourself where you now listen to and honour your body like never before. This is a truly remarkable healing of not only cancer but also the way you move through life.

66. I am very honoured to have read this blog, it is raw honesty, with loads of lived wisdom and experience. I have not had cancer but it is still very relevant and I know that what you have learned can be applied to our lives at anytime, we don’t have to wait for a major diagnosis. Your steadiness is felt and in that you are already healed, regardless if the cancer returns or not.

67. Eva to approach Cancer in the way that you have presented this is quite life changing not only for yourself but also everyone in the world, those who don’t have cancer and those who do have cancer. We often think life just happens to us but what you show is clearly there are our choices that happen and then we are left in the consequences of those.

68. Thank you so much for sharing your inspirational approach to disease Eva, the word cancer scares a lot of people but what if it’s as simple as you put it – the body’s way of clearing what it doesn’t need? I’ve never had cancer but I can relate to other illnesses and even difficult situations that have helped me clear and change a life-long pattern and a way of living that was not supportive to me. It’s actually the toughest situations I’ve faced in my life that I consider the biggest blessings.

69. If our essence is love, and we are not willing to live that in the world, and as a consequence becoming hardened, reckless, abusive and wild in our ways – eventually the love will know on the door and at first it may be asking us to make subtle changes, to eventually build a body of love one day, but it also has a big stark knock on the door that causes major things to shift in us, illness and disease being one of them.

70. In a world where cancer and other such conditions are increasingly on the rise, having reflections of how to be with the process and be truly embracing and supported through it is HUGE. There are few who embrace cancer for the true healing it is and even fewer who can call it a blessing. Hearing your experiences here Eva-Maria has been very profound and very healing. Thank you.

71. “I understood that cancer was my body’s way of clearing harmful energies I had taken on. By that I mean, that I had for years been living in a way that was not very loving, indeed it had been quite abusive and those choices had consequences for my body.” Yet this is not commonly understood. When I too experienced cancer I went through loads of emotions, as you describe. But after surgery – and with the tumour removed, I realised I had a chance to rebuild my life from a new – more gentle and self-nurturing – perspective. So many go back to their old life and old way of doing things after surgery, chemo etc., and are then shocked to find their disease returning. Why don’t we wake up and realise that lifestyle choices play a key part in a healthy life?

72. Great title, we don’t ever think to say such a thing, but your blog here and life experience is truly remarkable. A testament to what it means to really change your life and all that it reflects and purpose.

73. Your experience with cancer is very insightful and has the potential to support many patients in a similar situation. And the way you turned your life around is very inspiring – especially because it didn’t come from the initial reaction but from a deepening into yourself and your inner knowing. And thus, the changes are here to stay rather than being like an old garment that we get tired of and discard at the first available opportunity. In other words: you persevered to find answers rather than succumb to solutions and quick fixes.

74. What a blessing it is Eva-Marie that we understand having cancer is an opportunity to clear harmful energy from our bodies. Like you I am clearing harmful energy to uncover and live the divine essence that we so truly are.

75. A very beautiful and profound sharing for us Eva-Maria, thank you. Discovering, living and appreciating your divine essence, through the process and experiences you have outlined, is a gorgeous divine blessing.

76. Thank you Eva-Maria for sharing the profound layers you have slowly peeled away to uncover the essence of who you are – your Divine Essence. This is the silver lining of illness and disease and whilst it feels huge at the time, it also feels like a deep cleansing is taking place and the truth of how everything works can finally by seen and lubricated with the love we are.

77. I agree it is a totally different experience when we stay we our bodies whilst undergoing treatment for our illnesses. Whilst it can be very painful and fear provoking, the learning on offer can be significant and allow us to be more informed about the treatment choices we wish to avail ourselves of, both in terms of traditional medical interventions or complementary interventions.

78. “Talking to Serge Benhayon about the cancer and my anxiety felt more calming than anything I have experienced before.” Cancer creates a lot of anxiety in many people, it is because it is an illness where at the moment is not a cure for or a treatment that 100% removes it in all cases (if this already exist for any disease) this creates anxiety the least. To be truly understanding what cancer is and why it is happening is probably the only thing that will help let go of the anxiety which is an incredible support Serge Benhayon and the Ageless Wisdom is offering to many people.

79. So the way we use healing while true also focuses on just one part, make the body better. Yet here we have a real life example saying, “The cancer has not returned, yet, physical healing is not the purpose of true healing as I understand it now. True healing is much deeper, much more profound and really life-changing.” The physical part is secondary to the other part, the energetic part. I am not saying one is more important necessarily then the other but both are needed to at least have equal weight or say in any given situation. We have become lop sided in focusing on the physical and pretty much ignored anything else. There are more and more people writing articles like this one that speak into more then meets the eye category. I wonder if we paid equal attention or gave equal care to both these aspects whether we would see a difference around us. Again the article is saying and it’s my direct personal experience that this would make a huge difference.

80. Accepting that we have an illness, disease or cancer is a great first step, it is when we fight the acceptance that we are actually fighting ourselves, I love how you were able to see that your body was in truth healing itself through the cancer, a real opportunity to appreciate how we are looked after even when at first we feel totally at odds with what is there.

81. There is such a key theme here Eva-Maria. Acceptance is the message that runs through the whole of your story. Accepting your illness, accepting your issues, accepting your medicine, accepting yourself. It is a lesson that we can deal with absolutely anything if we can accept what is going on. While we resist and complain, we are nowhere near true healing, but with acceptance we naturally heal.

82. This is such a deeply beautiful article Eva-Maria. You so honestly share all that you went through – this makes it a very powerful ‘handbook’ or ‘template’ for anyone facing such an enormous situation. You have described so well the process you went through to surrender to the truth, and how that extraordinary man Serge Benhayon shared his wisdom and his deep love with you. Love it!

83. What would any person pay to have true support during a time of great need such as facing a serious illness? Probably a lot, and yet I know Serge Benhayon to have supported many people with such illnesses with grace, wisdom, and little if any compensation. He is undoubtably a man who I would want by my side.

    1. Hear hear Heather!

84. The fear of cancer, of the treatments and of dying, can really open a door of honesty to re-connect with a way of deeply nurturing ourselves that may have been unfamiliar to that ‘stop’ point. What I see you share here is the personal opportunity and choice to delve into how you can bring lasting change by choosing to see how the choices we make with our bodies can either be ones that support them to be harmonious, or not, and that each one has a consequence. It is never too late to reconnect with the love we innately are and nurture that.

85. When the truth is spoken it brings with it a huge relief on so many levels. If we resist the truth that is when we go into right and wrong and this is what hurts people more than anything.

86. This is a very inspirational blog to read for anyone whether they have had a terminal illness or not. So often when we become ill or unwell we go into a ‘fight’ mode and try to beat the illness and in this process fight our own bodies believing that the body has malfunctioned in someway and has let us down. But as you present here Eva-Maria what if illness and disease is actually a sign that our bodies are actually working and functioning very well indeed when considered from an energetic point of view? For they are doing what they do best which is to reflect to us the truth of how we are living and clearing us of the excess harming energies that we may have accumulated and giving us the blessing of a new beginning and an opportunity for true change in our way of life which in the end benefits us and the whole world.

87. Truly amazing blog Eva-Maria, it shows us how in fact we can embrace and accept what the body offers and no matter what there is always an opportunity to heal (and that healing may not take the form we think, we may truly heal and die or truly heal and live whatever is needed). And I love what you offer us here in so much but today for me it’s to see that I can trust the body even when it is ill and that is huge so thank you.

88. Great blog for everyone to read Eva-Maria, helping to understand the part we play in our own illness and disease, the body is a great reflection of how we are living, and any cancer is a deep message that we need to re-look at the choices we have made, and how we might make more supportive and loving choices.

89. I have read this article many times. Each time I feel the strength and wisdom that grows in Eva as truth and understanding around cancer is offered and accepted, ever more deeply. In this there is great learning for me, profoundly delivered is that offering the truth to another with love can be accepted, understood, and responded to, where healing on all levels can be facilitated, not by the one offering the truth alone, but also by the one who is willing to accept, understand and integrate it into their lives.

90. When conditions within the body such as cancer are given a symbolic and energetic meaning, the implication of what is going on can be considered in light of that person’s lifestyle and a deep overhaul gently carried out step by step. This is done in total co-operation with whatever is needed from mainstream medicine, the healing/ treatment /surgery on that level being deeply valued as well in the process.

91. What if – cancer was not some enemy that needs to be conquered, but an ally that helps us surrender to the deeper healing on offer and in so doing correct the ill momentum we have otherwise incarcerated ourselves in and that has led to the cancer in the first place? Truly inspirational Eva-Maria, thank you.

92. Our relationship with our mortality often has us ignoring the care of the body until we are faced with some dire situation. We think we are immortal, and then one day, we think we are very mortal. The Way of The Livingness has offered me a way to look at my mortality in a whole new way, and live with the love and care I have always wanted for myself. This is a miracle.

    1. Hear hear Heather. There is a part of us – the human spirit – that knows we are immortal and armed with this knowing, chooses to use the human body as a vehicle through which to enact a joyride through life. It is this recklessness and irresponsibility that sees us end up at death’s door, weakened by such a hedonistic pursuit. However, there is another part of us – our Soul – that understands that we are part of a ceaseless cycle of Universal order and as such our every breath, movement, thought and word has an impact on all life within this sphere. This is the Way of The Livingness, to deeply love and care for ourselves and each other as well as the planet we live upon. And so for me there is no other way to live life here on Earth.

       1. Well illustrated Liane. What you and Heather offer here, offers each of us an opportunity to choose a way of living that has love and care at its core.

93. There is an understandably enormous fear around cancer and a common idea that we fight it – it’s seen as a thing happening to the body and perhaps unrelated to the whole of our life and to our inner being. It was amazing to read how you initially felt and how this changed to an acceptance and then an understanding of the purpose of the cancer. I also feel your whole blog is a stop moment for everyone to begin to listen to the body and live in respect and partnership to what it is communicating, and to return to living from the essence of love within.

94. A beautiful article that really goes to the heart of cancer from a person that has actually been there. It was touching to see the support offered by Serge Benhayon among others and read his view on cancer and treatment of it. So often you see people fight the treatment or fight what their doctors are saying or even fight the diagnosis and so to see advice and support coming to you that truly does support you is very refreshing and make sense. This story is serving as inspiration for those going, yet to go or have been through any experiences with cancer and from the statistics there are more and more of us everyday. Thank you for this article and the way it was written made it very easy to see.

95. I love what you have shared here Eva-Maria; as a person who has had cancer I totally agree with you, congratulations is in order. The learning, evolving and expanding that is open to cancer patients is huge; that is if we choose to avail ourselves of the opportunities; as you have done.

96. ‘I understood that cancer was my body’s way of clearing harmful energies I had taken on. By that I mean, that I had for years been living in a way that was not very loving,’ This is such a great understanding for us all to have and thank you for sharing it – we too often assume we are victims of circumstance and refuse to take any responsibility in our part as to why cancer has ‘happened’ to us. How amazing that it presents us with such a beautiful lesson in making more self loving choices in our lives.

    1. I agree Carmel, victim consciousness is very disempowering, we stay stuck in what we have chosen unaware of how our next powerful choice is available moment to moment. We are free to choose at any time.

97. What a beautiful confirmation, appreciation and testimony to Serge Benhayon, Universal medicine and yourself Eva-Marie. To shift your focus from your mind to your body is such a powerful lesson, thank you.

98. ‘Congratulations you have cancer’ not the sort of words that are usually associated with cancer. But it is such a different way of seeing illness and disease. Learning to reconnect with our bodies, sometimes does take a illness to show us what choices we have been making.

99. ‘I started to be in my body, instead of just being in my mind,’ And that’s the thing – we treat our bodies as appendages, as mere vehicles for the whims of the mind, ever-ready to do our bidding no matter what the abuses and the cost to our health and well-being. Illnesses are a chance to reassess our approach.

100. I liked your observation Eva-Maria about having realised you had spent most of your life attacking your own light. This strikes me as possibly the root cause of a vast number of the illnesses we manifest – we simply don’t live or hold ourselves to the potential of the grandness of who we are.

101. ‘I expected my body not to cause any health problems and to function in the way I wanted it to.’ Yes, that’s exactly what the majority of us do – take the body for granted, and treat it as if it were an indefatigable machine. And then we get angry when it breaks down, when it ‘lets us down’. The thing is, it’s us who are letting our bodies down, and behind that anger is a sadness for what we know inside we have allowed – a deep dishonouring of ourselves.

102. The healing that you received from your cancer diagnosis is a true marker of how we can allow the body to share with us what is harming and not allowing us to live the true potential we are. Thank you for an inspiring read that has been felt deeply.

103. Congratulations our body is giving us the opportunity to return to love, each and everyone of us is given this chance every single day. A big congratulations when we get ill and our bodies have accepted the clearing for more love to come in. This may be an unconventional way at looking at illness and disease, but one that is energetically true.

104. Eva-Maria, thank you for sharing your story here, it’s really amazing to read and feel your journey with cancer and the steps you’ve taken which have taken you to a deeper level of acceptance of what is needed and what your body offers. This touched me deeply in particular ‘Then I knew deep inside of me that if I am willing to really face these issues and change my life in a way that I truly love and honor my body, come to a stillness within (something I had always avoided) and allow myself to be who I truly am, there would be no reason to be afraid of cancer anymore,’ … this is how we can be with anything once we are deeply accepting and loving with ourselves and our bodies.

105. Thank you for sharing the opportunity you have been given for true healing through your cancer diagnosis – it is so inspiring to feel how you have embraced it and turned your life around.

106. This is very true Eva-Maria, ‘No matter which illness or disease we have, we can choose to accept it, to look at what our body shows us and to clear and heal deeply. It is absolutely amazing to have such a chance.’ Absolutely.

107. ‘Serge then also helped me to understand that it is important that I let my medication in as a support, instead of having the injections and hating them at the same time.’ Sometimes there can be such an inner conflict about some aspect of our life that this inhibits the healing process that our body is waiting to deliver. Allowing ourselves to accept our situation and give what is being asked of us a chance is huge. The opening to treating yourself with a deeper love than you had otherwise known is very beautiful and totally inspiring.

108. I totally agree that the true healing is understanding what our body is communicating to us and making changes from that place. It’s like a gentle nudge that says ‘not that way, please change direction’. I have received many nudges and am thankful for each and every one of them because of the healing that has come as a result.

109. I would have thought you were crazy saying ‘congratulations you have cancer’ but since realising with the support of Universal Medicine what is actually going on for us to be manifesting cancer in the body, it really is the obvious outcome. We have an opportunity to deeply and truly heal what we have chosen that has been the cause of the cancer in the first place.

110. “Although I am a successful psychotherapist and well-trained at supporting others in dealing with their difficulties, I had no idea how to cope with this situation.” Eva-Maria the fact that when something like Cancer hits us our training goes out the window shows how much what we know in the head can’t truly help our body unless what we live is in a way that listens to the body. An incredible story that shows what is possible no matter the hurdle.

111. I have come to know that no matter what our body is going through, from a sprained ankle to, in your case Eva-Maria, cancer, it is simply our body’s way of communicating to us that all is not well with the way we have been living. And I have also come to learn that by being open to accepting the messages that come with the condition that, “True Healing is possible for each and every one of us.”.

112. A powerful and inspiring article – Understanding illness and disease from this perspective is supportive to making new choices in our living way and support the body rather than harm it further.
     “I understood that cancer was my body’s way of clearing harmful energies I had taken on. By that I mean, that I had for years been living in a way that was not very loving, indeed it had been quite abusive and those choices had consequences for my body”.

113. A powerful and very supportive article for everyone and in particular for anyone facing a diagnosis of cancer.

114. This is a ‘must read’ for everyone as it is an amazing gift – a chest overflowing with pearls of wisdom. Thank you for sharing your incredible journey – so deeply inspiring.

115. This is such a hugely insightful blog and one that offers people living with chronic disease a whole new perspective from which to view their illness/disease process. True healing can occur irrespective of where someone is in his or her disease process.

116. “I came to the point where I was able to accept everything; even the possibility of dying” This is a great place to get to Eva Maria, I can feel the healing you got from this understanding. When we can surrender to illness and disease and that anything is possible including dying, we no longer need to fight or battle through as so many people do. Knowing that cancer, or in fact any illness or disease is a healing is a great realisation and something humanity has yet come to understand or accept..

117. An apparently shocking title statement Eva, but your experience and understanding of what you have been offered shows that we can choose to accept an illness, look at what our body shows us and clear and heal deeply. “It is absolutely amazing to have such a chance.”

118. “True Healing is possible for each and every one of us. No matter which illness or disease we have…” and we can take this further and say even if we do not have an illness or disease process, then in terms of what Serge Benhayon has brought to the world with regard to healing, it is still absolutely essential for all of us.

119. Today reading your experience Eva I can see many times we might need to re-learn a lesson, but what’s beautiful is the wisdom from our bodies just keeps coming. It is relentless this Love, and that’s what I can feel in you that you too always keep returning to truth.

120. I still love coming back to read this blog, it is so claimed, so much responsibility taken for one’s choices in life and it is joy to read. There aren’t many people in this world who actually could write, they were pleased that they had cancer visit them, that it was a turning point in their life. Very inspiring.

121. Wonderful to get to the point where you can look at everything as a possible message to bring you back to yourself. We have so much support if we allow it in. Being able to step back in any situation and ask, “What is really going on here?” is a huge skill. Thank you Simple-Living Global and Universal Medicine for supporting me to be open to all the infinite possibilities of our universe.

122. There is so much on offer in this sharing of your experience Eva, which is of true support to those either going through this experience of having cancer or serious disease but also for us all in our everyday lives as you bring through that deeper understanding of the effects of our choices on our health and wellbeing and of the way in which we can support our own healing.

123. This is very profound what you have shared Eva-Maria, just such surrender, taking responsibility for your own healing. I love this line “So I learned in a very fascinating way to connect to the deep wisdom of my body and to trust it even though it was very ill.” I have also had some health issues and really fought my body, been hard on myself and my body not surprisingly is saying enough. So there is a depth of love that I am still learning to go to, one that needs to be free of criticism and judgement, but full of understanding, appreciation and love.

124. “No matter which illness or disease we have, we can choose to accept it, to look at what our body shows us and to clear and heal deeply.” This completely goes against every mode of thought that we have in the world today about illness and disease. And for the longest time that is how I too related to any illness and disease. But today I see illness and disease as a big moment to stop and reflect on how I have been with my body. Is this state of health a result of my unloving ways reaching a breaking point or have I allowed my body the grace and space to clear out even more unloving ways that I had not previously been aware of? Either way it’s a chance to clear out that which is unsupportive to our bodies who otherwise have equilibrium and harmony as it’s preferred state of being.

125. “Although I am a successful psychotherapist and well-trained at supporting others in dealing with their difficulties, I had no idea how to cope with this situation.” – this really stood out to me, we can very easily learn how to talk and ‘do things that people want, but lack true substance and don’t feel full doing what we do every day.

126. What you share here is such a healing for us all. The anxiety of the initial diagnosis brings up so much and the fear and ‘fight’ that brings up in our bodies means there is conflict. I find it fascinating that Serge offered a suggestion that you don’t fight the medication and that the symptoms lessened and your body grew stronger. Illness and disease can be moments of great change in our bodies and true healing of old patterns if we are open to it.

127. This is a great example of how we treat our bodies and then when it starts to get sick we panic. What is described here shows that even when we get a physical illness there is always more to learn about how we have been living and that the illness is a physical manifestation of that – it puts a whole new spin on illness and dis-ease.

128. I can imagine it is very easy to go into the anxiousness of a cancer diagnosis but I can also feel how disempowering this response is. I find most patients give their power away to the doctors instead of working with them. I loved feeling the strength and responsibility that returned to the writer as she understood the cancer as a necessary healing of a harmful way of life.

129. It was very inspiring to read this blog. I could feel that physical healing of the cancer had almost become a side benefit. The real win in this situation was a complete healing of a way of life that had led to the cancer.

130. What a great support you have had – I know for me I often feel I have to do things alone – yet when we allow support it comes flooding in. It is amazing how much people truly care about us – we just have to let them – something I have also found hard to do. However, as you have experienced there is a big difference between support and trying to help, as with support you are accepted as you are and given the space to allow the healing that is needed. Thank you for sharing, I know it would be extremely beneficial for all cancer patients to read the blog as it feels easy to get caught up in all the turmoil and emotions of it.

131. one of the keywords here is support… And the support that was provided here is so profoundly deep and meaningful and multilayered, that it is obvious that this is the support that humanity has been looking for on so many levels.

132. We often get hooked into thinking getting over an illness with the symptoms diminishing is healing, but Eva Maria you offer a profound insight into our bodies need to clear the disregard we load upon it. True healing is understanding what needed to be cleared and why.

133. Eva the enormity of the change in your life and your relationships as a result of the healing you allowed through the process of understanding why you got cancer is incredible. It is deeply supportive to feel the opportunity to open up to the world, to people, to allow support and that it is possible to reach the point to feel at ease with whatever the outcome may be.

134. “Although I am a successful psychotherapist and well-trained at supporting others in dealing with their difficulties, I had no idea how to cope with this situation.”
     What I love about this blog is the absolute honesty and the love that emerges through your willingness to go there. I know often we expect the ‘experts’ to never have any issues themselves or to be able to cope with every challenge instantly, yet this is unrealistic. We are all humans and all have just as much to learn as each other. It’s unrealistic to think others don’t have issues they need support with or have growth to work on, just because they work competently in a field.

135. I am so glad that this has been offered to us all in a blog, I love how Eva was supported to work through her issues and how her experience with the medication completely changed when she began to embrace it as a support rather than an unwelcome imposition in her life. I would love to see this be offered to others, to see how their experience of side effects changes when they truly adopt the changes that Eva did. She is the same as anyone else with a serious illness such as cancer, yet how she has embraced it and supported herself is incredibly loving and liberating.

136. I laughed at your line, ‘it was rather blockheaded of me’, because I think that we can all relate to this type of ‘blockhead behaviour’. It’s almost funny that we even ask “why me?” considering the way we all carry on; the real question we should be asking is “why don’t I have a major stop moment in my life that is anchoring me back?”
     If we are given stops, it means that there is still a communication happening, a communication that will be responded to or not. I would be more worried if I was living in an unloving way but everything in my body and life wasn’t indicating that it was unloving.

137. This is something that I am learning and embodying, life is about energy, it is in everything, it is everything… “…physical healing is not the purpose of true healing as I understand it now. ” It is not about cure, the symptoms are there for a reason, this I am understanding and appreciating.

138. This is an inspiring article, true courage, living from the heart with support and appreciation of the people who supported you “I knew deep inside of me that if I am willing to really face these issues and change my life in a way that I truly love and honor my body, come to a stillness within (something I had always avoided) and allow myself to be who I truly am…” When I read this I can feel how you feel truth and love and how there is a loved quality and openness in this writing that is a real treasure to share in and share with humanity. Thank you.

139. Eva-Maria – this is fantastic as a sharing! And in particular I felt to highlight this paragraph: “Serge then also helped me to understand that it is important that I let my medication in as a support, instead of having the injections and hating them at the same time. This led to a shift of energy and an enormous reduction of the side effects, so that I was able to really live and also work again – with much more stillness and loving choices.” – It so makes sense that we cannot fight the very things that we are using to support us – it is when we surrender to using a medication, knowing the benefits that it can offer us, that even more opens up for us. What a healing this is – to be able to work with medications and know that the side effects do not need to be so intense if we learn to work with them. I too have experienced this where fighting medications has increased the side effects. And likewise when the body really needs a medication, then it is like it can embrace it and use it in just the right way, with little to no side effects. How amazing is this?

140. Accepting whatever illness or disease our body is presenting is absolutely essential on our path of healing. I love what you say about true healing being deeper than just healing the physical. As fantastic a job as conventional medicine can do with our bodies, there is always so much that we need to address to ensure the disease or a secondary illness does not recur. Thank you Eva-Maria for some inspiring insights.

141. What an inspirational read Eva-Maria, thank you for sharing so honestly your journey with cancer and the deepening, acceptance and stillness you have come to. True healing is profound and deep, dealing with the problem from the root and energetic cause as you share is the key. Interesting that in changing your approach with your medication how your side effects greatly reduced, it clearly shows the power of our choices and how they can support us or not.

142. Thank you Eva-Maria this is a must read for everyone whether we have been diagnosed with a dis-ease or not. As you say ‘This True Healing is possible for each and every one of us.’

143. With cancer being the pandemic that it is now across the world, such an article as this is truly worth its weight in gold, and could simply if it was taken to heart and understood by medical fraternities around the world, reconfigure our health care systems.

144. Dear Eva-Maria,
     I choose to re read your blog again tonight, you share so much about having cancer and treatment, in a way that few gift to themselves when faced with a cancer diagnosis. Thank you for your honesty, and for the awarenesses you now know innately, that cancer is never bad luck, but instead a direct result of our choices. And that it is actually healing. Such understanding that many truly know, but don’t claim, so therefore blame many things. What a waste of time to blame, nothing but the feeling of powerless comes from blame. Owning our choices opens us up to the possibility af then changing our choices. This is truly powerful and to be embraced and lived in full.

145. Learning this level of acceptance and appreciation – truly inspiring.

146. “the root cause of cancer is always a certain way of being with oneself” a powerful statement and a great way to take responsibility for sure. It also assists the removal of sympathy which feels like a very stagnant and unsupportive emotion. As Eva Maria describes, sympathy leaves us in the mire, more stuck in the issue than before when in fact with any illness we want to remove ourselves from the reaction and come into a place of observation where we can see why we came to be ill in the first place.

147. There is something very powerful in acceptance. I have experienced this many times in my life and usually when I am getting very anxious about something I find there is resistance somewhere causing it. In acceptance there is a feeling of surrender and in this clarity returns and as you share here Eva-Maria – then things start to make sense.

148. I have no doubt that our bodies are exquisitely intelligent and have an innate balance that if we choose to go against will lead us to experience ‘corrections’. To me this is part of a greater intelligence that is planetary and even Universal. We are held by this Intelligence as we find our way through life – and find our way Home.

149. Like warring parties, we can agree a truce or ceasefire with our bodies, but still we resist truly listening and seeing the fact that they have got our back (literally!) and are on our side. Your words remind me, Eva-Maria to embrace what my body has to say, no matter how inconvenient it’s words may appear.

     1. Beautifully said Joseph, our body constantly speaks to us and tells us how it is feeling but I am not sure if we all listen to and trust its wisdom nearly enough.

150. Trusting in the deep wisdom that our bodies have may seem like a mountain to climb with no shoes on, but this is only because life is mainly not designed for such a relationship with the physical frames that we are responsible for.

151. An incredible and inspirational story. What stood out for me was Eva-Maria’s commitment to accepting and appreciating what the cancer was offering her. Whenever I have got ill in the past I have found it very difficult to accept and surrender to what was happening in my body; I found it difficult to accept the choices I had made that landed me in the situation. I have come to realise that completely surrendering to the ‘what is’ heals and from this place I can begin to let go.

     1. This is a powerful sentence “I came to the point where I was able to accept everything; even the possibility of dying” for when we have accepted everything and completely surrendered we have let go of self and we are left with an acceptance of an outcome that can only serve the whole and not our needs.

        1. True Caroline – to accept is to allow. And what a release of tension and holding in our bodies this is. We fight things too easily with our heads, when our bodies have already surrendered. Getting an illness is our bodies way of saying ‘OK I accept this, now lets clear’ – but instead we fight it with our minds and try to live as we did before we were sick.

152. Eva-Maria what a story, “Although I am a successful psychotherapist and well-trained at supporting others in dealing with their difficulties, I had no idea how to cope with this situation.” It is so important that in such roles as a psychotherapist, in that profession to have support and truly feel your own issues. Holding on in the body to our hurts, just ensures that emotion or drama is created in some way. Your message here has been incredibly inspiring, thank you.

153. What you have shared Eva-Maria is very inspiring. To be able to lovingly accept the treatments in your body is amazing and I love how this changed for you when you actually chose to accept rather than reject the treatments. This is such powerful message for anyone receiving any healthcare treatments.

154. We have all had something going on in the body from the very subtle like a head ache or in some cases the unavoidable obvious like cancer. It is easy to just bandaid over the head ache and not be honest about why we have the head ache but not so easy to band aid over a more serious disease in the body.

     Your blog is a great reminder and testimony to the way we can listen to, love and honour our selves and our bodies and experience true healing every day, by committing to love in its true essence and also that true healing is not just about curing the body, but to face our deepest issues by getting to the root cause of why our behaviours are there and that our choices have indeed brought us to where we are right now.

     Eva-Maria what you offer here is great insight into true healing for all of every level.
     Thankyou for sharing.

155. There is so much here to appreciate, Eva-Maria. Your honesty and willingness to be open to the deeper meanings in your illness, to the divine work of Serge Benhayon and his family, and to his extended family of Unimed students and practitioners is inspirational considering all you have been through. How easy would it have been to give up on yourself? Yet your body never gave up on you. Congratulations for all of us that you have expressed your story without any sadness or self-pity, for what you have written here helps me to feel and trust in the holding of my own body….no matter what.

156. “So I learned in a very fascinating way to connect to the deep wisdom of my body and to trust it even though it was very ill. I feel better now than I have ever felt before in and with my body. This huge clearing and healing has been one of the most amazing experiences in my life.”’

     Eva-Maria it is very unusual to hear someone speak in such positive and appreciative terms about disease in their life, usually I have read many stories from people who had cancer about, ‘how I won the battle against cancer’, stories one reads which have more a strong emphasis on ‘winning the battle’ (and returning back to the way they had been living), with little or no insight into the way they had been living and the disregard for their body that contributed to or caused the disease in the first place.

157. “Serge then also helped me to understand that it is important that I let my medication in as a support, instead of having the injections and hating them at the same time. This led to a shift of energy and an enormous reduction of the side effects, so that I was able to really live and also work again – with much more stillness and loving choices.”
     I find this fascinating Eva-Maria, the power we have with our thoughts over what happens in our bodies, and that if we hate taking a medicine and are afraid of the side-effects, it will be much harder for our bodies to use, benefit and process it, rather than accepting, allowing and appreciating it, even when the side-effects may be very unpleasant.

     1. I observed this too Thomas. Most don’t even consider this to even be a possibility – at least I did not – but since reconnecting more with my body I can now understand that our choices do have the same, if not far greater, impact on the body than the physical experience alone.

     2. Understanding that medication only truly supports the body when we let it in is so valuable to cancer patients but could be applied to all of us when any medication is required. I have not been one to take over-the-counter medicines and would get very uncomfortable when taking antibiotics but it makes so much sense to me. When I am in harmony with the medication on offer, it is inevitably going to have a positive effect… something I had not considered before.

158. “I felt that now it’s time to stop all of that disregard and to commit to love in its true essence.” This is a powerful turning point Eva-Maria, when we decide to commit to love, deeply caring for and treating our bodies in a loving and gentle way. Before coming across Universal Medicine the way I cared for my health and body came very much from my mind and ideas of what health was, as I didn’t have a deep connection with my body. Since becoming a student of Universal Medicine I have been connecting more deeply with my body that guides me in a much truer way as to what it needs to bring about true vitality and health.

159. A truly inspiring sharing of your experience with cancer that is an invaluable resource for others, whether that be someone with cancer, or any form of severe illness, and for the carers.

160. Your blog is a valuable resource for many to read Eva. Super awesome! On many levels you describe the relationship between our body and illness/dis-ease and how, when given time to reflect, we can see many ‘red flag’ incidences that have occurred, which were prompts to choose a change in lifestyle behaviour and emotional patterns that were harming our body. Thank you for sharing your personal story.

161. We need to start to look beyond our infatuation with medicine being all about the rectification of that which is physically broken. We all want to cure cancer to relieve the suffering and the blight of an early death – and that is a noble cause indeed – but were we to consider life as extending beyond our physical years, then it is possible (no actually probable) that we would develop a different relationship with illness and disease.

162. An absolutely awesome testament of Universal Medicine, Serge Benhayon, his family and the students of UM. And the understanding of what true healing is, deeply supports medical treatment…”physical healing is not the purpose of true healing as I understand it now. True healing is much deeper, much more profound and really life-changing. I feel that without this deep understanding and without addressing the root cause of cancer…”

163. Judith Mcyntire’s story is a similar one that shows on how we can have a much more vital approach to this disease and what it means – http://truthaboutuniversalmedicine.com/2014/06/06/meeting-serge-benhayon-a-meeting-on-the-edge-of-eternity/

164. Cancer can bring a lot sadness and sorrow in to the lives of family members and friends as we become so worried about the person we love and care for. Worried that they are going to be in discomfort or pain, worried that they are going to pass-over without having ever knowing how much they are loved and adored. For me, this puts everything in to perspective and makes each day worth expressing all the love we have both for ourselves and those around us.

165. How Eva-Maria has dealt with her cancer is really a game changer for me. She has taken responsibility for all her past choices to heal the root cause of the cancer. Awesome.

166. When I read your sharing Eva-Maria I realize again, how intelligent our body is. Our body always know, what to do next or how to heal. That is so fascinating. When we have a deep relationship with our body, the body is talking to us very loudly. The body tells us, when to eat, how much to eat, when to go to bed, or whatsoever. We just have to listen. Wonderful.

     1. Our bodies sure are incredible Alexander I agree. Over time when we start to listen to it, the signals, the communication becomes a lot clearer and instant, so developing and nurturing this relationship by honouring what the body is telling us totally supports this to go deeper.

     2. I have come to realise that my body is far more intelligent than what I had given credit to and there’s so much to learn from what my body communicates with me. My body is constantly sending me messages and from my experience like Eva-Maria expresses in this blog when I chose to ignore them, they got bigger.

167. How great would it be for all diagnosed with cancer to be given articles like this to read. To come to this understanding and acceptance is huge, ‘ I understood that cancer was my body’s way of clearing harmful energies I had taken on. By that I mean, that I had for years been living in a way that was not very loving, indeed it had been quite abusive and those choices had consequences for my body’.

     1. I agree lorrainewellman, this is a very loving and supportive article for anyone diagnosed with cancer to read. Not only that, it is hugely supportive and a real eye opener for those of us who do not have cancer to read.

168. The true acceptance of life and of ourselves—that we do feel and that what we know the truth of what life is about and what we have chosen to live is very far from this truth, is when we surrender to being supported to return to truly living.

169. Eva-Maria, thank you for sharing. The way you have now come to understand cancer and what it offers seems like a miracle – to be free of the emotional burdens and allow true support. And then the massive support from the universal medicine students and the Benhayon family through it all. Super amazing, and truly inspirational.

170. Thank you for this blog Eva-Maria “This time I would not panic, I would stay with myself and my body, and I would get all the support I needed.” The panic and reaction we can have towards our bodies messages is exhausting whereas when we listen amazing things can happen. Universal Medicine is a great support in that regard, showing us that our bodies know how and what to heal and that we are far more than just our bodies. But even with this it doesn’t hold itself less than the being, only the being can do that.

171. Acceptance is a gift like no other. It frees us from more than we know.

     1. So true Adam. It is severely undervalued or not even thought about by most. Acceptance and understanding.

     2. Very true, Adam, I myself was a witness to observe one of my clients accepting the severe illness, and what a huge healing process occurred with her afterwards.

172. Thank you for sharing your experience with cancer Eva-Maria it really feels like you went to the edge and back, what a return to you! Your strength and love is inspiring and what you have learnt for yourself is so huge which now is such a gift to others facing similar health issues.

173. Your experience with the cancer that you had Eva-Maria is profound. What is so extraordinary is the Love and Support that Serge Benhayon offered you to look beyond the dis-ease and to look at the root cause of what had caused it. For your courage to go there on all accounts and look at every angle has been the making your life today. The re-defining of what is loving and supportive for yourself and your commitment to you is such an Amazing reflection. That it is possible all we need to do is choose it. Thank you.

174. There are more people being diagnosed with cancer. People living longer but getting sicker. People need to hear what illnesses and diseases truly are, what healing truly is. What you have presented here from your lived experience, from the very beginning “Congratulations! You have cancer!” – this needs to be read by many, many people.

175. Thank you Eva-Maria for going there in every aspect of illness and disease and all it can offer and show us. I loved reading every word, filled with inspiration by what you have lived and discovered about yourself, life and others. Living with the understanding that illness and disease is in fact a blessing to heal our wayward ways eliminates the scariness or fear of what our bodies need to clear next. Your blog will give so many another opportunity to evolve with what their bodies are presenting… as it has for me.

176. A controversial title to be sure. But not if we look at life from the perspective of returning to Soul, and reincarnation. Our relationship with health for the most part is purely based on “getting better” and survival. What if, however, illness and disease served a much deeper purpose? What if there was not just one life? Such an understanding changes our ability to ponder on what the true cause of illness and disease is. There is not doubt that as human beings we do not for the most part have the awareness to answer these deeper philosophical questions, but is that because we cannot be aware, or because we choose not to be aware? There is so much in life that we allow ourselves not to see according to how we wish to view the world. We all wear rose coloured glasses in one way or another, and so it begs the question, if we allow ourselves to be blinded by simple ideals on something as simple as believing that another race is inferior because they look different, what other deeper truths do we allows ourselves to be blind to?

177. This blog needs to be read by everyone, I love the honesty and the realness of what came up for you and how it has totally changed your life completely. That the support was there 100% because you were pulling your sleeves up and wanting to get to the bottom of why you had the cancer in the first place.That you were willing to take responsibility for your actions and choices and make new ones. This in itself is so inspiring and something that you can be deeply appreciative that you were willing to go there Eva-Maria.

     1. This blog does have to be read by everyone especially those diagnosed with cancer, I admire the way you have dealt with the illness Eva-Maria

        1. Agree Joe, what a different way of seeing illness. And the example of true support that was given.

178. It is such a great read, you have documented something that many have not, also not willing to take responsibility for. It is truly a credit to you and something to celebrate, claiming you and your choices, no matter what, very inspiring Eva-Maria.

179. It can feel hard, and uncomfortable to feel how our choices have affected our body in truth. Hence we can easily develop patterns or behaviours to not feel this in full. These patterns and behaviours are not fully appreciated and studied yet for the way they currently lead to illness and disease – but will need to be if we are to truly deal with the rising incidence of more complicated health problems seen everyday across the world.

     1. Eventually the sheer number of cases that we can’t deal with will lead to us looking at what is deeply wrong. Examples like Eva-Maria is the way of the future.

180. Love this line also, “This time I would not panic, I would stay with myself and my body, and I would get all the support I needed”. I have experienced many times when I have been in anxiousness or not been so confident, and all I had to do was to come back to my body and breathe and move for me in what I knew was true and supportive.

181. This line is power-full in the sense of how empowering it is to deal with any issue. “I knew that I could now support my body and this process by accepting everything that comes with it, loving my body more and trusting in its deep wisdom”. That is the empowerment esoteric healing and esoteric psychology provide. It is the way we deal with the complexities of physical, emotional and mental illnesses we have that are growing incessantly among our communities. It beautifully complements conventional medicine, and since I work in a hospital, I know that it is all that is missing.

182. It is interesting how frightened we become of a new experience. To me it just highlights how much we are not taking ourselves to it or there has not been an appreciation of ourselves to come through other situations or events we have found very challenging.

     When I look back on my life I had some of the worst experiences you can have. We all have had some! I also have been very responsible with most and gone deeper to discover why it was like that. If I can live through all of them successfully, then why does a new challenging situation as you say Eva-Marie ‘frighten me’?

     It is a great reminder to appreciate everything I have been able to successfully work through and, to embrace the new situation and look at every aspect of it, so all is felt and seen to be able to break it down and act on it simply.

183. A beautiful blog Eva Maria! We need to take full responsibility for our part in our diseases in this lifetime.

184. Your JOY, deep appreciation and LOVE for mankind, Serge Benhayon and yourself is really really evident Eva-Maria, you certainly light up the world. That’s what happens when we come back to ourselves. Absolutely beautiful – both you and your story.

185. The medical system today is embattled and driven to rid the world of disease – disconnected from the truth that we are. The truth that truly asks us to feel what supports us, to see that the body is not a war zone but a space of grace and love that gives us great guidance – by asking us to reassess and review deeply how we have been living and moving the body. It asks us to be responsible and aware that each choice has been our own, not to disempower but to serve us to make choices true again. To rebuild and to re-chart our course through this life and the next.

     1. Beautifully said Lee Green, the body is not a war zone where we have to fight any illness or disease, our bodies are a ‘space of grace and love that gives us great guidance’, and all we have to do is surrender – surrender to whatever life presents to us including illness and disease.

        1. Life presents so much but it is presenting what we have lived – essentially we get given gifts of love or gifts that help us to shift the not love, so that we can get gifts of love. Never ending love and truly divine support.

     2. Exquisite Lee Green – “the body is not a war zone but a space of grace and love that gives us great guidance – by asking us to reassess and review deeply how we have been living and moving the body.” What a blessing and gift our body is in all that it shares with us.

        1. I agree Marcia, how much are we loved that the body that we reside in is totally geared to let us be that love.

186. ‘No matter which illness or disease we have, we can choose to accept it, to look at what our body shows us and to clear and heal deeply. It is absolutely amazing to have such a chance.’ This is a sentence written for all humanity.

     1. Love that point out Lee 👌🏼

187. Eva-Maria, from the first paragraph your love for people could be felt and continued throughout the whole article. The understanding you share about poor choices leading to your illness and the acceptance and responsibility you have taken made me cry – this is a powerful and touching personal account of true healing.

188. With opening up and asking for support you have brought immense healing to us all Eva-Maria. We are so used to, when feeling vulnerable, in despair, and at the end of everything, to hide and to deal with it ourself, only wanting to get out of the mess we have created, feeling too ashamed and not worth the help. To bring that what takes place with us into the open, be honest about it and vulnerable is a healing in itself, it brings connection and understanding and most of all it brings love into our lives.

189. From someone with such authority (lived experience) it is very powerful to read that healing is not the cessation of physical symptoms but a much deeper shift and change in the way we live and interact with the world. This is an awesome piece of writing. Thank you.

     1. I whole heartily agree Matilda this is a super inspiring writing that Eva-Maria has shared. The lived choices she has in the past made to create dis-ease in her body as cancer and then for her to be willing and honest enough to look much deeper than the physical outcome and to feel deeply how it is her responsibility to own how she had lived that which has created it. The self-empowerment that you feel in her from making more Loving choices is beautiful.

     2. Totally with you on this Matilda and your point that ‘lived experience’ holds so much for us to learn from is absolutely on song.

        1. With more and more people sharing their ‘lived experience’, of how they have navigated through illness and disease successfully; that is allowing true healing to take place by being willing to own what we ourselves have created, the fearful consciousness around illness and disease that currently exists will undergo a huge shift…..and one that is very much needed.

        2. Exactly jacqmcfadden04 – ‘…that is allowing true healing to take place by being willing to own what we ourselves have created. Huge statement.

190. “When I heard the word “cancer”, I was shocked. Panic arose in me and countless thoughts flooded my mind – and not a single one of them helped me to cope with the situation; all of them were full of anxiety. “
     I like this sentence as it so clearly shows that all the thoughts we allow in in dire/intense situations are not supportive but actually are doing the exact opposite, they let us panic, make us feel completely overwhelmed and make a nervous, tensed, filled with anxiety wreck of us. They so not give us any answers but confuse us and make things complex.

     1. Esther I like it that you have highlighted this point as it is something most of us are falling for if there is such a diagnosis as cancer. There are really only a few role models who showed so openly that there is an other way possible . . . therefore I appreciate it very much that Eva-Maria has not held back her experience with cancer, as she inspired the whole world with that.

191. Very powerful blog Eva-Maria thank you, and is a great example of what true healing can be achieved if we are willing to look at how we have lived, and take responsibility for our past and present choices.

192. It is absolutely amazing to read your words Eva-Maria. It felt like my body came on the journey with you, shifting and releasing as I read on. This tells me your writing offers huge opportunities for everyone to really feel the truth of taking responsibility – how coming into relationship with our bodies, to be supported and guided, is life-changing. Thank you.

193. What a refreshing and true approach to looking at cancer, extremely inspiring Eva-Maria. I too am extremely thankful that Serge Benhayon has shared the truth of what it is our bodies are telling us when they are releasing such illness and disease. As much as it can be uncomfortable at times taking true responsibility for our choices and our bodies we can heal much in the process.

194. I love what you have shared here, so very powerful. What if illness and disease is not just a thing to overcome, but the body’s way of showing us that something is not right, and an opportunity to discover a more loving way of living.

195. Eva-Maria what you share here is deeply healing and confirms the wisdom and clearing that can take place in our bodies. I love the honesty you expressed in sharing your experience with cancer and felt a healing in your level of acceptance and recognition of the true value of such a clearing. Thank you

196. Reading this again I appreciate so much of how you choose to support your body through this time Eva-Maria – in particular to take Serge Benhayon’s advice to allow the medication to support your recovering,and in that acceptance the whole experience changed for you… that is amazing! It speaks to me loud and clear about the power of our thoughts and how resistance can have such an enormous effect on the body, as does the power of surrender and allowing.

     1. Very well said Rachel. Resistance is like an internal fight which creates havoc in our body. And the very thing we are resisting is the love and light of our Soul.

197. Thankyou Eva-Maria for this exquisite and humbling surrender to the power of love. When we allow ourselves to give up the fight, we restore the natural flow that is always working in and through our bodies before we seek to impede it with our unloving ways. Reading your words today I can really feel how, as a society, we have got the notion of illness and disease around the wrong way. We do not get sick randomly and unfairly (there is too much Divine order and love in the Universe to allow this), nor do we fall ill because we have done something ‘wrong’. Our illness is there as a physical representation for the state of dis-ease we have allowed ourselves to live in. Thus, the actual disease is a moment of grace – a pause in the momentum we have been caught up in, so that we can take stock of the quality of energy we have been living with and from here arrest all that does not serve the love that we are. When seen in this light, the true light, it becomes simple to understand that cancer is the cure and not the curse we would otherwise think it to be.

     1. I so appreciate the fact that you have flagged up the pendulum swing we so often do: when we understand that we do not get sick randomly and unfairly, we often swing over to self-blame and shame. Having the humility and honesty to accept disease as a moment of grace is totally life changing.

     2. hear hear Liane – perfectly and beautifully said!

     3. So true Liane and a joy to feel that the dis-ease is that moment of grace that asks us to deeply take stock, pause and feel how to best move next to lovingly support ourselves back to the truth of who we are.

     4. So Beautifully expressed Liane – ‘to understand that cancer is the cure and not the curse’ – you have brought Heaven to Earth with your words. Thank you Eva-Maria for this honest unfolding of your experience, it has been – and every discussion thus far – very healing to read.

     5. Spot on Liane! Many have adopted beliefs like ‘I am bad’ or ‘this is a punishment from God’ to be stopped by illness and disease, as a cushion of irresponsibility… like blame it on something out there and don’t go looking at their life. The sweet energy of responsibility – “…the actual disease is a moment of grace – a pause in the momentum we have been caught up in…”

     6. Beautiful Liane, I love the way you have expressed this – it simply makes common sense.

     7. Absolutely, ‘Our illness is there as a physical representation for the state of dis-ease we have allowed ourselves to live in. Thus, the actual disease is a moment of grace – a pause in the momentum we have been caught up in, so that we can take stock of the quality of energy we have been living with and from here arrest all that does not serve the love that we are.’ So disease is a blessing, a moment to stop and reflect on how we have been living, and how this is maybe contributing to our ill health. We then have a choice, to carry on in the ill momentum, or, to see how we can live in a way that truly supports our body.

     8. Well said Liane. How is it that we see only what we want to see, e.g. when something ‘good’ happens we have a tendency to say ‘it was meant to be’ yet when illness and disease occurs we can say ‘you do not deserve this’. It is impossible to have these contradictory answers yet it happens; these statements have been said to me. Taking responsibility for ourselves and looking at every thing in our lives from a place of this responsibility is key… there is no other way.

     9. ‘…disease is a moment of grace’. Perfectly expressed Liane Mandalis and deeply true. Thank you.

198. Love the title of this blog “Congratulations you have cancer” that in itself is revolutionary and transformational!

     1. I love it too Nicola and I imagine such a title would cause quite a stir in the presiding consciousness we currently live under. What Eva-Maria has offered us by way of these words is a peer beneath the curtain as to the true nature of how things are, that is at odds with how we currently as a humanity view them to be. The very words ‘Congratulations! You have Cancer!’ shake up our beliefs and seek to unsettle that which has come to settle over us, like a thick fog of illusion. Through the unsettling process begins the de-configuring and re-configuring needed in order for us to see the truth that our illnesses are not bad luck, they are a gift from our Soul to assist us in our return to Love. Thus, there is always magic (God’s love) where we least expect it to be.

        1. Beautifully explained Liane, we often feel helpless, angry, afraid and powerless when we are diagnosed with a disease, as we have bought into the idea that it is something bad, or even to be ashamed of, sometimes to the point of keeping it a secret from others. Rather than the incredible evolution and opening up to love and support from others it can bring.

     2. Very true Nicola – this revolution could go in all directions to lift or shed light on the areas of life that seem ‘unfair’ – like ‘Congratulations, you’ve got a flat tyre’ – now are you ready to pay attention to your body? As I start to allow and understand life more I can see that every moment is offered as a chance to evolve, and Eva-Maria has taken these life changing moments by the horns to transform her life. Absolutely inspiring!

        1. ha ha Rachael that is so true, congratulations you have been fired, congratulations your house has burnt down…. I better stop myself before my humour offends!!!

        2. Love it Nicola! Don’t stop!
           When my ex-husband and I came back home from Europe one year to find all our possessions destroyed, we actually laughed and said to each other ‘We wouldn’t have wanted to take all that old stuff to our new home’ ( while away we had decided to move out of the inner city).

        3. Too funny Nicola but oh so much to celebrate when we look at life in this way!

199. One of the things that I have learnt through Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon is that an illness is not a failure or the enemy but very often the symptoms or illness are in themselves the medicine. As you have shown here the conditions you experienced were a great healing and brought you to a far deeper connection and understanding with your body and true self.

     1. I love the way Esoteric Medicine works with Conventional Medicine. The perfect combination of embracing the necessary medical treatment whilst dealing with the energetic aspect and taking responsibility for our part and participation in it all.

        1. It is indeed the perfect marriage – a match made in Heaven. The physical symptoms are tended to while addressing the energetic root cause of the dis-ease. This is how we return to living the Whole we are forever an intrinsic part of. The Whole lives within us, just as we live within the Whole. Reducing the body into various lone segments and fragments and ignoring the being within, the one who is running the show and therefore responsible for the ill in the first place, does naught to arrest the waywardness that caused the illness. True healing comes with the ability to accept responsibility for all that we have lived and are living that does not match the love that we are.

        2. I love it too Nicola and I hope that this perfect combination is something that becomes more a normal way to look at an illness or disease as it is not so upsetting and makes it more “lighter” and more “easier” so to speak to deal with such a diagnosis like cancer.

        3. I love that Liane: “The Whole lives within us, just as we live within the Whole” it is very true and holy and when we forget we get in a hole 🙂

        4. Absolutley agree Nicola. The union of Esoteric Medicine with Conventional medicine really is the ultimate combination, as all the physical aspects are taken care of as they should be, alongside the energetic reason for why the illness has presented itself and the personal responsibility that has led to the illness in the first place. With the patients willingness to take this on board, a true and deep healing can take place, and as Eva-Maria has done, can inspire and support others to do the same.

        5. I love all that you share here Liane, profound, simple and true. This comment needs to be in clinics and hospitals for everyone to read freely, simply beautiful.

     2. Esoteric Medicine and Conventional Medicine = a match made in heaven. I am seeing now, that just as we segment our bodies into parts so can we with life, feeling ourselves as separate from everyone and the All. When we feel our whole body as one, aware of the integral role that each part plays, we can then see ourselves as an essential piece in the big picture. Everything reflects something and I have loved reading this article and comments.

     3. Beautiful Nicola, I’ve realised that acceptance is such an important factor. The common way of dealing with so called unpleasant situations is to fight and blame the situation. Rather than allowing vulnerability and feel everything that wants to be felt. And in accepting we can find for ourselves the deeper reasons behind the situation, in this case cancer. For a long long time I didn’t connect to what acceptance really is. But it is truly wonderful what it brings us. Ourselves…

        1. I agree Floris that acceptance is an important factor, for without acceptance how can healing occur. For me I am learning not only to accept the situations I have created, but to accept that I am divine and that my body knows and has all the answers. Accepting who I truly am, listening and trusting my body are all key.

        2. I can relate to that Caroline. Acceptance comes from a very different place when it starts with the knowing of the Grandness that we are. I’m still finding my way in ‘being’ with the two inside my own body. As if I’m often fighting against both = fighting my sensitivity. Reading your comment reminded me of the joy of being with ourselves. I feel expanded and a lovely warmth around my heart. Thank you.

     4. I love this understanding of what illness is bringing us, and embracing it as a friend that can teach us so much, not to be feared as the enemy, thank you Nicola.

        1. I completely agree Thomas. When we start to experience and understand the great love and learning behind events such as illness, accidents and so called natural disasters it changes everything.

        2. I do so agree Nicola that once we understand the great love and learning brought by illness, accident, incident, or natural disaster it completely changes our approach as to how we handle it. We can then bring strength, truth and love to the situation to further heal, rather than being caught in the emotional trappings that can be there if we choose to go that way.

200. Thank you Eva-Maria, this is a truly wonderful blog and would support so many people if they had the opportunity to read it.

     1. Yes Nicola this is so true. The level of support and honesty that has been shared in this blog is such a powerful example of understanding a cancer diagnosis.

201. This puts a whole new perspective on a cancer diagnosis. I can feel that your healing path has been an incredible blessing for you and your family.

202. It’s so true that we treat our bodies so harshly and expect them to sail through trouble free. Then when something happens, the mind is flooded with such anxiety that it is hard to see how to get any equilibrium back into your thoughts. The gentle breath meditation, esoteric yoga and other Universal Medicine healing modalities are so supportive and amazing really the way they can help you come back to yourself, and accept conventional medical treatments that can feel so harsh. Because of the support the Universal Medicine healings give your body, the side effects of the conventional treatments are often not so severe. It is in our acceptance of our treatments, our responsibilities and our amazing light that healing begins.

     1. Beautifully shared Amanda, in acceptance much is transformed and allows our light to shine no longer obscured by our need to control as a result of held ideals and beliefs.

        1. This is vital and spot on, ‘in acceptance much is transformed and allows our light to shine no longer obscured by our need to control as a result of held ideals and beliefs.’

203. “The cancer has not returned, yet, physical healing is not the purpose of true healing as I understand it now.” True healing is about letting go of the old momentums never to repeat again in a future life. The physical may have to suffer in this life, but we can rest assured that the next life will be cleared of the old momentums and for cancer not to repeat again, if we have healed it in its true sense.

     1. This is my understanding too, and, ‘The physical may have to suffer in this life’ as we are clearing the old patterns, momentums and ways of living, that were not loving.

     2. Yes Amita. When we embrace the fact that we live many lives, we can also embrace the fact that illness and disease is a clearing and a healing in that bigger picture too.

204. “I came to realise that the cancer is a way of my body showing me choices I have made in the past, and that it offers me a huge possibility to heal important issues.” Eva – Maria, this is wisdom that is truly worth sharing. If everyone saw cancer, or any other disease for that matter, as the bodys way of showing us that the choices we had made that led us to that point, how different would our relationships with oursleves, each other and our medical system look? This is a deeply inspiring piece of writing, and you are a truly inspiring example of what is possible when there is a willingness to look so honestly at how you have lived your life.

     1. I agree Sandra, the relationship we have today with our bodies and health and the absolute disregard we as a humanity live in, places a huge pressure upon our medical system, as we lack taking responsibility for our health and make life-style choices that disregard our well being. If we were all to see and understand what illness and disease were showing us, and took greater responsibility, in the future, there may be little or no need for the huge medical systems we currently have.

        1. Absolutely Thomas. And by taking more responsibility for our own health, what an enormous difference this would make to all of humanity in so many different ways and on so many levels.

     2. What an amazing level of responsibility such an attitude reflects. It all comes back to us and to our choices – no one to blame. Our medical system – and other systems too – would look very different if we chose to see things this way.

        1. Indeed they would Richard.

205. “I feel that without this deep understanding and without addressing the root cause of cancer, which is always a certain way of being with oneself and others, it is possible for the cancer to return.” Eva-Maria thank you for your honest expression – it showed me that everything is possible if there is a readiness to look what the root cause of cancer or other illnesses are – that this is the best medicine ever. Without this willingness nothing can be truly healed.

     1. Eva-Maria and Ester you are both inspiring, to see through this sort of illness to such a degree that you can understand it and know it as the teacher and healer it truly is.

        1. Beautifully said Dean and Ester – to feel beyond the initial reactions to illness, which can be shocking and very panicked, and feel the potential of what the body is offering by way of true healing is nothing short of miraculous. This story ought to be in a medical magazine, cancer clinic or hospital where it can work its magic on those who may be in the despair and hopeless of such mis-understood illnesses.

        2. True, Dean, and it is freeing to hear that cancer and other illnesses can be our teacher and are a healing process in itself.

        3. Absolutely Kerstin, freeing and revolutionary in how we can approach life and entirely liberating in terms understanding what is really going on in our bodies.

        4. I like the term ‘teacher’ you have used Dean, for that is what our bodies do, through illness and disease, if we choose to see and feel what they are telling us we can learn much, from this we can then choose to take better care and nourish our bodies in a deeper way than we did before we were sick.

        5. It’s funny, we look high and low ‘out there’ for answers to life’s woes yet we all live in a body that holds an enormous wisdom. Maybe we should stop looking…

206. Thank you Eva Maria – for such an incredibly open sharing – i have read this over again and find always always a new inspiration and insight from the experiences you have shared. Your story is one that may help so many others – whether they have cancer or not.

207. This is just one person who has been helped personally intimately and comprehensively by the Benhayon family to deal with, understand and heal lifelong issues of hurt and disconnection so that they cannot just live a rewarding life but inspire others. And this is the family that has been so disgracefully attacked in social media and the press, instigated by a few hurt people. And this is just one story there are literally hundreds of these and the bizarre dichotomy in our society now is that one unfounded smear campaign can get more traction than hundreds of stories of true healing and awakening. This is what needs to be turned around.

     1. Hear Hear cjames2012, what here has been shared should be on the front pages of magazines and newspapers, as you say, along with the hundreds of others who have been personally helped by the Benhayon family, yet there is a campaign that continues to smear their reputations, it is abhorrent and sad what is being said, it needs to stop.

208. Incredible to read how you found your way forward with such grace and honesty.

209. Eva-Maria’s sharing is a whole new step into how we can deal with life-threatening illnesses like cancer. It opens up a totally different approach in regards of healing.

210. I remember being diagnosed many years ago with an inflammatory bowel disease, the feelings of panic and stress that arose in me were (I knew even at the time) counterproductive to the best management of the condition. It feels as if how we manage our health conditions can be supported so greatly by becoming at ease with what has occurred. So hard as it may be, seeing dis-ease in the body as a healing process, a removal of a pattern that is not supporting us, is the only way to really address the root cause of the ill health and achieve the wellbeing in our bodies that is our natural way.

211. This is a great sharing, Eva-Maria. Your journey with the cancer and your understanding of the process is very healing for everybody who reads this, no matter if the person is diagnosed with cancer or not. Your dedication to love is felt in this blog.

212. Thank you so much Eva-Maria for sharing. I feel like I had a healing by simply reading your blog. I felt like you were right here in my living room talking to me. I love how you express so warmly and in a honest way. I feel like your cancer was indeed a gift and because you have embraced this gift you are now sharing it with others. I feel blessed, thank you.

213. Eva-Maria, your JOY, understanding, compassion and love for yourself and humanity just shine through EVERY single world that you have written here – WELL DONE and THANK YOU

214. Your finishing comments about profound healing are something to share far and wide. We are all capable of addressing the root cause of our ills and without this understanding, true healing is not possible. And as you say, when true healing occurs, the experience is so rich and deep, the physical symptoms become only one part of the actual healing taking place.

215. You have incredible bravery and strength and have also discovered that in surrender and receiving support, this is too is a marker of your strength.

216. Thank you for sharing (one of!) your amazing stories Eva-Maria. You have beautifully described the process you went through, all of the agonizing emotions and the way forth you discovered through the immense wisdom and support of Serge and the Benhayons. I especially found it interesting when Serge encouraged you to accept the strong medication and not to fight it and what a difference this made for you. Another very interesting point is that you were able to find the wisdom and support that you sought from the Benhayons and Esoteric students, not from your family of origin who were also baffled by how to approach your diagnosis. This has also been my experience, seeking understanding all my life and not truly finding it until meeting Serge Benhayon and learning to access what he is connected to, which is available for us all.

217. If we see life as one of the many other lives we have experienced, illness and disease becomes another thing that makes sense in our life. When we accept that we have misused our bodies against the true harmony our body naturally expresses, we start to deal differently with illness and disease.

218. From shock, fear and anxiety to responsibility, understanding, acceptance and love. What a deeply healing journey you have been on Eva-Maria. Reading your beautiful blog one can appreciate the deeper meaning in your title “Congratulations! You have Cancer” and truly understand the gift that can come out of receiving such a diagnoses.

219. My mother passed on from lung cancer about 15 years ago. She smoked all her life so that is no surprise. At the time I remember that I felt sad mainly because it could have so been avoided, but may be not. People who don’t smoke get cancer and people who smoke all their lives don’t get it. It looks like it’s a game of russian roulette, but if we take into consideration what Eva-Maria is presenting, it explains a lot about the origins of illness and a totally different approach to disease.

220. I love this title – ‘Congratulations – you have cancer’! it is such a stand out and so amazing how you, Eva-Maria have taken such responsibilty for all that has unfolded for you. This title should be how all doctors announce cancer, that would certainly shake up how medicine is looked at…..not a bad thing at all.

221. If you see life as but one life, then you have a completely differing viewpoint of illness and disease than if you start to accept the possibility that life does not end after death, and reincarnation. There is so much of life that is limited by our insistence that the physical world that we can see and touch is all there is.

222. “I came to realise that the cancer is a way of my body showing me choices I have made in the past, and that it offers me a huge possibility to heal important issues.” That is a very powerful realization Eva-Maria and I am wondering how we all would live with illness if this realization would be our everyday knowledge.

     1. This is a great question to ask esteraltmiks “I am wondering how we all would live with illness if this realization would be our everyday knowledge.” My feeling is that we would all be living very differently, even responsibly if we realised that our bodies are simply reflecting to us the life choices we have made up until that point of illness.

223. “I came to realise that the cancer is a way of my body showing me choices I have made in the past, and that it offers me a huge possibility to heal important issues.” This is a great realisation, what a blessing for your healing. It really goes to show if we are open to understanding why our body has conditions we can heal a lot of buried issues and be free of them. The key thing I have come to understand is that we really need to connect and feel what our body is saying to us.

224. Say to the ‘average person’ on the street that Cancer is a blessing, offering a healing and they may think you are crazy. Yet isn’t the crazy part that we live in a time with high technology but increasing Cancer rates? Isn’t the illogical part that we haven’t until now considered that our very view of illness and our body may be askew? What you show as living proof Eva-Maria is that giving Love all you have got and embracing all you are shown is amazing for your health.

     1. So true Joseph – I would go so far as to say that some people would take offence at such a thing being said to them, such is the emotional connection and sympathy for those with illness and disease.

225. Your experience shows that no matter what our training, it does not prepare any of us to cope with news that we have cancer, Eva-Maria. You show you have been willing to understand the deeper meaning of your illness and then support yourself to receive true deep healing from this. It may not appear to be an experience any one of us might think we’d choose, but you show how it has been positive and life changing for you. Congratulations!

226. Thank you Eva-Maria for this amazing sharing and inspiration of how we can be with illness and disease in our bodies… instead of judgement, anxiousness, fear, and the million other emotions that can go along with it, we can turn it around and learn everything it has to offer us – we can truly appreciate and accept what then comes for us.. an incredible support and healing.. It shows how miracles really are possible if we are open to it.

227. Thank you Eva-Maria, the understanding that you have come to with your illness is amazing… that true healing does not solely mean physical healing. The ways we have lived are held in our bodies and it makes sense that our body needs to expel what is not true, this expulsion comes out often as a physical illness and provides us with an opportunity to stop and look at ourselves and our lives and how we have chosen to live. Our journey home is not always easy but trusting the truth and wisdom that our body offers us is essential for us to truly heal. You, I and many others have realised thanks to Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine.

228. Eva-Maria that was absolutely inspiring to read your amazing blog. Thank you so much for not holding back as this made it so lively to read and to follow every stage you went through. This is what made it so helpful for me that I can feel every step you did, so that is becomes so clear for me that our past choices are the reason for our illness and not our genes.

229. Thank you Eva-Maria, beautiful to read. What stood out for me from your story is that the way we choose to be in any situation changes completely our experience of them. Probably in the state of feeling overwhelmed by the news of having cancer and panicing you would not have ever considered your later experiences with the support of Esoteric Healing and Counseling to be possible, but it was. This shows that our choices are so powerful, they create the reality we live in.

230. It is extraordinary to read that physical healing is not the true purpose of healing – so much of our society is focussed on on the physical, understanding how we are a complex network of energy and connective tissue and so much more, means that true healing is so much more than one dimensional.

     1. I agree Nicole, disease does not really make sense as a random act or misfortune, but so many see judgement in accepting our responsibility for the choices we have made when in fact it is simply the gift of awareness that is being offered.

231. Eva-Maria, whilst the title of this blog could seem to be controversial, it actually makes perfect sense, because getting cancer provided you with such an incredible opportunity to heal so much that was buried in your body.

     1. So true Elizabeth, it seems such a strange thing to say and a title so many would find alarming, but Eva-Maria’s experience shows us that facing a life threatening disease can be a richly rewarding journey, even if one dies as a consequence of it. In view of Stephen G’s comment above, when we can ‘get our heads around reincarnation’, our view of dying can be so different. Raising our awareness of what is actually happening in our bodies enables us to see that cancer and the like is a huge blessing, an opportunity to clear out all the toxic energy we have called into our bodies and move forward from an honest, loving platform.

        Serge Benhayon plays an essential role in supporting us to understand the nature of our behaviours that sit behind these diseases so that we can, either in this lifetime or the next, ensure that we heal the hurts and harmful patterns that lead to these diseases in the first place. If one views the bigger picture, addressing all illnesses with this awareness delivers real and lasting prevention, as the life lived after the illness will be a life that supports, nourishes and heals, rather than one that hurts and harms us.

232. There seems to be a huge factor in us clinging on to life as a human race, we are very attached to being here which might seem obvious, why wouldn’t we be, but if we consider that we re-incarnate, it doesn’t make sense that we would want to hang around in a dulled out state when we are going to come back to play it again. In this regard if you can get your head around reincarnation then it is also possible to get our heads around the energy at play, the need for us to clear the ill patterns of behaviour that we return again and again to clear.

233. Eva-Maria your understanding and appreciation of what being ill actually means and represents offers a great healing to us all. To be able to consider there is a greater purpose and healing available beyond the physical offers an opportunity to choose to be responsible for our part in the illness and not take a reactionary view that something is happening to us from the outside and we are powerless.

     1. Beautifully shared Sandra – yes I agree that Eva Maria – you understand healing and the beauty of it. And for this sort of reflection to be shared with others is a gift. We can all learn a lot, even from the smallest bruise to a major procedure – there is always something to be taken from the experience.

234. “I came to the point where I was able to accept everything; even the possibility of dying.”, that is some great surrendering and trusting what life has for you. Accepting everything is not easy for most of us if not all, and your journey you have shared is so inspiring. When we surrender and accept we allow so much opening and healing to take place, something I have been becoming more aware of.

     1. Absolutely Amita, this is not an easy thing to do as it comes from a total state of surrender. When we do surrender though, the battle between our body and the illness stops being a fight and becomes an evolving process, whereby we go deeper and deeper into our vulnerability and sensitivity. This can be really lovely.

     2. ‘When we surrender and accept we allow so much opening and healing to take place’ – the simplicity of this is profound and we feel it very tangibly when we release our shoulders after they have crept up towards our ears during the day… the spaciousness is remarkable and apparently endless.

235. So powerful Eva-Maria. I love your line “I came to realise that the cancer is a way of my body showing me choices I have made in the past, and that it offers me a huge possibility to heal important issues. ” This we could apply to each of us, whatever illness we have, learning to connect, listen to and love our bodies is a huge thing, along with taking the next step, whichcis to link that what is going on in our bodies is a reflection of our own choices and a clearing of those choices. Your story in very inspirational, thank you.

236. Thank you Eva-Maria. Your story represents the future of medicine where we embrace all that conventional medicine brings along with the understanding that everything is energy and that our choices impact on our body. This level of responsibility brings much healing and inspiration as your story clearly offers.

     1. You are so right Sarah. Eva-Maria is living the future of medicine where a deep understanding of the cause of the illness will be coupled with the much-needed and expert work from the medical profession – and so a complete healing occurs. It is wonderful to have pioneers such as Eva-Maria on this earth leading the way for others to follow..

        1. I totally agree with you Lyndy, Eva-Maria’s personal experience with cancer is truly inspiring, leading the way for others to follow.

        2. I agree Lyndy, Eva-Maria is a pioneer and leading light towards the future of medicine. Her living reflection of what it is to take loving responsibility for ourselves and our choices and how they can impact on our well-being may be an inspiration for so many who seek to truly understand illness and what healing can be.

     2. I agree Sarah, bringing the understanding that our choices impact our body will change how medicine is practised in the future, as it puts the responsibility back on the individual to examine their choices and change them as needed.

        1. And when they seek support from the medical profession or healing practitioners, they are not abdicating responsibility but truly asking for support as equal partners in the process of healing. This will be a huge and beautiful shift in how our health services run.

     3. Absolutely Sarah, and that level of responsibility – where we look at how our choices impact on our body and wellbeing in every way helps conventional medicine to do it’s much needed job.

237. “Congratulations you have Cancer” almost sounds like someone has won the lottery.
     For many this is what cancer is like, it is a jackpot – you either are lucky or you are not. Serge Benhayon has been presenting on the energetic cause of illness and disease for over 10 years and has dispelled the myths. There is no jackpot or random occurrence as it all comes down to our daily choices and how we are choosing to live.

     1. Well said Vicky, to have a deeper and true understanding of the reason behind why we get cancer or any other form of illness and disease provides a great strength. No longer are we are the mercy of our illness for we are the creators of it by the choices we make on how we live. It’s confronting but empowering.

     2. Well said Vicky, there is no random occurrence or bad luck in life. Our body is reflecting back to us all the choices we have made. An illness or disease is the end result of all those choices.

     3. Absolutely Vicky, love the analogy, it is so true, people feel like getting cancer is this random thing, like someone winning the lottery. But it isn’t, it does come down to our daily choices and how we are choosing to live.

     4. Your comment Vicky reminds me on: Everything matters and everything we do has an impact on us and all the people around us. It is really time to take responsibility for everything.

        1. Beautifully expressed Alexander. Everything matters really brings home the responsibility we all have in every moment. It is truly inspiring to feel what this responsibility opens us up to receiving and expressing through our bodies.

238. Well said Brendan, well before anyone experiences cancer their bodies have been communicating in many different ways the need to change their way of living; it is only until they are stopped through illness and disease that many are willing to go deeper to make more responsible choices for themselves and this is the healing regardless of the outcome.

239. By understanding that cancer and other illness and disease are ways of clearing harmful energy in our bodies, we become very grounded and observant of how that energy accumulated. It becomes clear it is not the true energy we can live in, as otherwise the body would not initiate the clearing it does. So it is a very sobering and responsible way to begin to look at our role in allowing harmful energy to accumulate and the hints our bodies have given us leading up to the larger illness. All of this leads to remaining more connected, present and choosing of love instead of lovelessness in our lives.

     1. It is indeed a wonderful opportunity to stop and take stock of how we have been living, and in that awareness we have the possibility to change. Learning or rather recognising that there is a true energy which our bodies live from and by, and there is another kind of energy that harms us, we then have the gift of the choice of which energy we will then choose in every moment – and we can realise that this is something we have always known within.

240. Thank you Eva-Maria, for sharing your personal experience with can cancer and for showing us that true healing is not just physical and that it is much deeper regardless of the consequences. It is up to us to be honest and take responsibility of the way we have lived and make changes that are more honouring and loving of our beings.

     1. “True healing is not physical” Thanks Francisco, you remind me on, that our illnesses always have an energetic root cause and that we can relate our illness to our lifestyle choices. It is never just about the physical body as you say.

241. ‘No matter which illness or disease we have, we can choose to accept it, to look at what our body shows us and to clear and heal deeply. It is absolutely amazing to have such a chance.’ I absolutely agree…

242. Thank you Eva-Maria for sharing this with us. Your comment: “I have been so absolutely ignorant and tortured my body through loads of work, permanent self criticism, never really going into stillness, being hard, smoking, drinking alcohol, taking drugs and in many more ways…” struck me as really important, as so many are behaving in this way that you can now say is ‘absolutely ignorant’, and lead you to the ill health and issues that you then had to deal with. This is something we all need to hear.

243. Hi Eva-Maria, the sentence which really stood out for me today is ‘ I felt that now it’s time to stop all of that disregard and to commit to love in its true essence.’ and I thank you for the reminder of this absolute truth.

244. It is amazing how our bodies give us opportunities to clear things we have taken on in our current lives and past lives. How cancer is actually a blessing allowing us to clear old momentum, patterns, behaviours and giving us an opportunity to start a fresh. Cancer is not always the end of a journey, but an opportunity for a new beginning.

     1. Wonderfully expressed Amita – especially your last sentence “Cancer is not always the end of a journey, but an opportunity for a new beginning.” Most of the people think it is the end, and it is exactly the opposite, when we start to take responsibility for our previous choices.

245. Dear Eva-Maria,
     Thank you for your story of how cancer was for you. My father passed away from cancer a year and a half ago and I never fully saw it as you expressed that it was the body ridding itself of neglectful living. I felt somehow it was a negative thing that he had cancer but as you say it may have given him the opportunity to look at his life and his beingness for his next. Such a healing for me to consider my own Livingness. Thank you.

246. It highlights that in any situation life presents to us we have the choice and opportunity to take healing and growth to an amazing level.

     1. This is so true Tracy, when we openly and lovingly accept and take responsibility for any situation we find ourselves in healing can occur at amazing levels.

247. In the future I can see and feel how this way of dealing and accepting the healing processes our body goes through will be enormously powerful and be an accepted way of looking at the healing journey of illness and disease. An amazing story that is truly inspirational.

248. “The cancer has not returned, yet, physical healing is not the purpose of true healing as I understand it now. True healing is much deeper, much more profound and really life-changing.” – A really important point you make here Eva-Maria; it is common to get caught in just the fixing of the body and returning to life as it was before but this misses out on addressing what was there in our way of living that contributed to the illness or cancer developing. It’s not as you have so beautifully shown about giving anyone a guilt-trip for how they have been living but opening up to the possibility of seeing where we have not been honouring of who we truly are in life.

     1. Very true Fiona, so often I hear people say they are looking forward to getting back to their “old life” or “normal life” after being given the all clear, with no hint of awareness that the “old” or “normal life” might have been the cause of the cancer in the first place. If we are truly going to arrest the pattern of disease in our bodies, we need to go further than just erasing the physical symptoms and begin to examine other factors in our lives. Our bodies are so sensitive, delicate and beautiful, a major illness like cancer is surely a call from the body that is asking us to look at how we are living each day. Eva Maria has certainly taken that on board and with the amazing support of Serge Benhayon has in the process healed so much more than just her cancer.

     2. A beautiful and powerful passage by Eva-Maria, Fiona. And I agree, it exposes the distraction that an illness often brings by making us focus on the body and what it is doing. Granted, when we are ill, it is very hard to ignore our body and everything that is going on with it, even if it is just a cold. But it does offer us the opportunity to be right here, right now and feel what we are feeling. It is as if our bodies are saying, “you have ignored me and what I have been trying to tell you, so now I have to sit you down and make you listen”.

249. “I knew that I could now support my body and this process by accepting everything that comes with it, loving my body more and trusting in its deep wisdom.” This is lovely Eva-Maria; it is truly inspiring to know that illness and disease can bring about a deeper connection and healing to our body.

     1. So true alisonmoir. Illness and disease can be a truly healing experience and can be what we need at the time if we take the lesson. Acceptance seems to be a big part of this.

     2. This is beautiful Alison, and it seems to bring a deeper sense of empowerment, that our bodies know what they are doing, rather than feeling like a helpless victim.

250. Thanks to Universal Medicine, a great source of ageless wisdom is revealed around what illness and disease are about and what particular illnesses also mean in relation to the way we live. Having a medical and health/fitness background, up until discovering Universal Medicine, I saw the incompleteness of what was being presented, despite many valuable aspects of health and fitness being offered through a western science and research based model. Now, I see the whole picture around self healing by living medicine in our daily lives. Thank you Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine.

251. This is a very inspiring blog Eva-Maria, choosing to ask for help and support and allowing others to help is a very big part of the healing.

     1. I agree Lynda, it is also a gift to allow others to be part of this as they too experience the opportunity to go deeper and expand who they are. Thank you Eva Maria – this is a beautiful blog about re-connecting and celebrating you.

252. There is a real grace in the way you have accepted responsibility and what is there to be addressed.

     1. I can understand the first initial feelings that Eva went through and how one would feel in this moment, but to stop and take responsibility for those emotions and to start taking responsibility for past choices is amazing and helps the healing process and allows for a truer and loving way to be with oneself.

     2. I agree Annie. There is real grace and beauty in the humility of accepting responsibility for the choices you have previously made, and embracing the healing process of having an illness rather than fighting it.

     3. I definitely felt the grace in Eva-Maria’s writing and love what is being shared in the comments about relinquishing the fight and surrendering to what our bodies tell us.

     4. Yes Annie – very often people with cancer blame other people. But there is no coincidence and we and our body have to take responsibility for all our choices in the past, which can lead to the cancer.

253. Thank you for sharing your inspiring experience of cancer Eva-Maria. It is such a different way to approach cancer, or any illness, than what is usually offered. Accepting the illness as a clearing and accepting the treatment as supportive rather than fighting against it feels like a very gracious way of being with an illness. No more “fighting” cancer, simply accepting what is there and dealing with our issues.

     1. It is indeed such a different approach as like you say, we always talk about fighting the cancer like we go into war with our own body. But with fighting there is no healing and no true understanding in what our body is trying to tell us.

        1. This is so true Mariette and Lee. Eva-Maria’s approach to cancer is revolutionary and is so different from the usual ‘battle’ that so many go into when faced with such a disease. As you say, there is no true healing or understanding in this approach.

        2. This is so true Mariette, ‘we always talk about fighting the cancer like we go into war with our own body. But with fighting there is no healing and no true understanding in what our body is trying to tell us.’ I know a few people who have been through the treatment of cancer and it seems to be common for it to be seen as a ‘fight’ and the primary aim seems to be to get back to life as it was before, rather than making changes and learning from what the body is telling us, this fighting does not work and from what I have seen this approach can lead to the cancer coming back or for there to be another illness that comes to learn from.

        3. There is nothing to fight, as we just fight against ourselves. This is no true support for the body as we put more pressure on it. Fighting is not the way, embracing and understanding what our body is telling us, carries true healing in it.

        4. And one of the keys in healing IS in understanding. Understanding why the disease or illness has come up and understanding what it is there to teach us. It is a great opportunity to look at every corner of our lives when we’re diagnosed with any illness/disease and so beautiful to have True, loving support like Eva-Maria has had. Having gone through this herself, Eva-Maria is a beacon of inspiration to so many people – and not just those with a cancer diagnoses.

        5. I completely agree Mariette. We often read proud statements about how someone fought cancer but as you say healing does not come with a fight. It is a form of war whether with ourselves or others. You might beat the other (or your body) into submission temporarily but you have not dealt with the original conflict that will come up from another direction. True healing only comes through love and understanding.

        6. I was just reading my comment above and realised that fighting with our body is like being at war with others in that in both cases we are treating the other as being separate from ourselves. We are all connected and interconnected as one. It is harmful to fight ourselves, our bodies and each other. True healing comes with love and the unification and never through fighting or separation whether it be with our bodies or with each other.

     2. Yes, the sheer idea that an illness is a clearing of something that is wrong with us that is not in the physical body is just completely out of this world in terms of imagining it.

        The only issue is that it is actually true and quite obvious when we experience it again and again.

        1. I agree Mariette, if we ‘fight’ it we are fighting ourselves, and only deepening the ill within. Instead if we can support our bodies in every way, and embrace the process and surrender, we then allow the greatest healing to occur.

     3. yes – no more “battles” or “fights” with cancer or any illness

     4. If we seek understanding in everything that happens, and be open to hearing the messages the body is bringing, then there is the opportunity to learn so much of the ways we harm ourselves and others. All illness then becomes a journey of healing and we have the opportunity of greater insight and wisdom. This serves far more than blame or judgement upon ourselves or others.

     5. Yes, Lee. The ‘battle’ that is often fought against an illness can set us up for further problems as the issues that the illness brings up to deal with are often buried underneath the need to ‘win’.

254. What a beautiful blog. We have been fooled into thinking that physicality is the benchmark by which we measure our existence, and so our relationship with illness and disease is no different. What a refreshing change to read of someone who was willing to look beyond the physicality of their disease.

     1. Yes to that, Adam and Jane. Just to consider the development of our understanding of disease beyond the immediate physical symptoms opens up a whole new level of responsibility which really empowers us all, individually and collectively.

255. I love the honesty with which you have expressed Eva-Maria. It is so important that we understand the true meaning of why we get cancer and that it is not just the curse that many see it is. Then we can fully embrace the true healing this illness is offering us.

256. “I have been so absolutely ignorant and tortured my body through loads of work, permanent self criticism, never really going into stillness, being hard, smoking, drinking alcohol, taking drugs and in many more ways… and nevertheless I expected my body not to cause any health problems and to function in the way I wanted it to”
     To be able to admit this is huge, yet to take responsibility for the way way we live and the outcome of that -not to feel bad or guilty, but with understanding and love for yourself -is actually very empowering, it allows you to then move on…
     Thank you for sharing your experience Eva-Maria, it is a precious offering to anyone going through such a delicate time.

257. ‘The cancer has not returned, yet, physical healing is not the purpose of true healing as I understand it now. True healing is much deeper, much more profound and really life-changing. I feel that without this deep understanding and without addressing the root cause of cancer, which is always a certain way of being with oneself and others, it is possible for the cancer to return.’ so beautifully said Eva-Maria.

258. People often say how disease is the biggest blessing and has changed their lives – this is a great recognition, very beautiful, as then we can have the full benefit of the healing it brings.

259. Thank you Eva-Maria – ‘This True Healing is possible for each and every one of us.’

260. The playfulness of the title here jumped out at me Eva-Maria along with the wisdom you go on to share. Having experienced a chronic condition myself that manifested in my early 20’s that I only really started getting to the root cause of some 20 years later after meeting Sara Williams and then hearing Serge Benhayon talk and being honest as to why I’d gotten sick in the first place, I know illness of any kind is an absolute blessing. Why would we bother to change at all if our body wasn’t saying hello something is wrong here? We’d go on regardless getting away with all our unloving choices.

261. This line really stood out for me, “physical healing is not the purpose of true healing as I understand it now. True healing is much deeper, much more profound and really life-changing” – this is such a big shift in thinking, where we almost fight our bodies to make sure we don’t get sick rather than seeing illness as a clearing and supporting our bodies to go through it.

262. “Talking to Serge Benhayon about the cancer and my anxiety felt more calming than anything I have experienced before. I came to realize that the cancer is a way of my body showing me choices I have made in the past, and that it offers me a huge possibility to heal important issues”. There is a lot more to illness and disease than what we are currently aware of. To understand that cancer or any illness/disease is the body’s way of showing us that we have not been honoring it is very empowering. This is saying that illness and disease does not come from no-where but actually confirms what the WHO tells us which is that majority of illness and disease is caused by lifestyle choices.

     1. I agree Elizabeth. I would add that the WHO’s statistic is conservative and would say that it is more like all illness and disease. But this only shows that even our leading institution of healthcare in the world has more to learn.

263. Universal Medicine has been able to support Eva-Maria to embrace having cancer as an opportunity to heal in a deep and profound way so that her life has fundamentally changed, not because of the cancer or for fear of it returning, but because Eva-Maria is now making different choices.

264. How true Jinya, responsibility for the medicine we create and for the medicine we heal with.

265. yeah the title is brilliant and it sums up so much about what is brilliant about this article on her experience and learning with cancer. What a woman. what a journey. Thank God she chose to let in the experience in full, accept all help, let in love, and now wow what a powerhouse she is in FULL. I take my hat off to her, this is Gold.

     1. Yes, Felicity – Eva-Maria is really a powerhouse, it is so amazing, how she has turned her life around in such a short time. She will be a real role model for many people in the future.

266. The main form of medicine that Eva-Maria has taken here is responsibility.

     1. Yes! Once we take responsibility for creating our own disease and ailments we are free to commence true healing. All other treatment offers band aids without it.

267. Eva-Maria – what a profound and inspiring writing you share with us here. I love reading how your choices and awareness have brought many changes and evolution to you and for others reading this.

268. What a joy – Eva-Maria – to observe in the last 2 years, how much you have turned your life around. You have started to take responsibility for all your choices and especially to deepen your connection to yourself and to your body. And I love your sentence “especially that I was more and more able to read what my body was telling me.” That is so important for healing to deepen the relationship to our body.

269. Your account of a true healing that can occur when you embrace and accept a diagnosis of cancer is inspirational Eva-Maria. The change in your attitude and how you then went about your healing is an example for us all on how to deal with any illness and disease.

270. Thank you Eva Maria for this incredible sharing and offering for us all and the knowing that this true healing is available for each and every one of us. Beautiful what grace we are all offered.

271. Thank you sharing Eva-Maria how healing Illness and disease can be. “No matter which illness or disease we have, we can choose to accept it, to look at what our body shows us and to clear and heal deeply. It is absolutely amazing to have such a chance.” It is amazing to have such a chance and the choice is ours to ask for support to go beyond what at first it seems there is to be dealt with.

272. Eva-Maria what you share is very powerfully healing with the levels of awareness, understanding appreciation and responsibility of all aspects of our health. This would support our bodies to work with and heal what is presenting rather than being resisted from the shock, fear and thoughts of the unknown. Thank you.

273. Thank you Eva-Maria. This is an incredible revelation that you are offering us all about illness, disease and true healing. There is so much more to illness and disease than what we know up to this point. Illness and disease are not a curse, they are a much-needed correction because of the way that we live and abuse our bodies. When we see it as a correction it is much easier to come to an acceptance of what is needed to get through the illness or disease that we are facing..

274. Eva-Maria this is a life changing read. I could feel my own fears about illness and disease falling away as I read your amazing article.

     The whole world needs to be able to access wisdom such as this.

     1. I agree, anyone with a major illness will certainly relate and be inspired by what Eva-Maria has shared.

275. I have realised that I play a game of not committing to anything because this body is transient and will die. i.e. “What’s the point if we all die?” I don’t trust my body because it breaks down and this mistrust is the basis of mistrust in myself. This game that I play is self-prophesying because no doubt if I carry on holding back in this way I will get ill, then I have the justification of saying ‘you see, I did get ill so I can’t be all that I am anyway.’ Ouch. Bizarre. What crazy convoluted games we create to avoid responsibility.

     1. You have so clearly described the convoluted nature of this destructive consciousness that wins every time if we lack awareness of its psychology. It won’t even let us see that we are in it. Thank heavens for Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine.

     2. Great point Jinya. We can certainly trust our body. It has an intelligence deeper than just mental intelligence. It knows how to heal and our body sends us patient and loving warning signs and also confirmation.

276. Illness and disease will one day be seen by all as the blessing that it is and what it is teaching us and when we acknowledge and accept this then perhaps we will be more inclined to care for our bodies such that illness and disease are no longer needed to provide the required correction. Thank you for such an open and honest sharing Eva-Maria.

     1. I agree, and the support we will give ourselves will be in direct alignment with the care provided by the medical profession, not against it.

277. “Congratulations you have Cancer!” this is profound Eva-Maria, your open armed commitment to truly accepting & understanding the process of healing is super inspiring, the sound honesty in your words offers a miraculous journey back to the truth within your body.

278. True Healing is possible for each and every one of us, I totally agree, once we accept our illness or disease and take ownership of what we have created from how we have lived i.e. our past choices, this honesty sets in motion true healing. This has been my own experience and when I truly began to heal my past choices, so much support was available as I learned how to self-support in terms of I learned how to truly self-care and how to truly nourish my body, not only with food, but with gentle excercise, quality of sleep, and to put myself first in my life – and as I put me at the centre of my life (instead of last) all areas of my life received nourishment including the relationship with myself (which had been non-existent ).

     Self-support is truly nourishing on so many levels and creates the space for grace to flow through us, to guide us and communicate what our body needs to recover and heal, not just the cancer but healing our old life, our old way of living and as we change our way of living to that which is more loving and harmonious for our bodies, we not only re-imprint our past, we support ‘prevention’ of the cancer returning. Truly inspiring Eva-Maria.

279. Sometimes it feels like we are giving especially cancer too much power and say. It’s like this monster that we try to avoid meeting and if we fail then it’s something we have to defeat and fight against, as if it’s there to deliberately harm us. What you share with us Eva- helps us understand the opposite, that the cancer is the body’s way of communicating with us. Now so far it seems like medicine hasn’t been able to fully decipher or translate this form of communication in this form we call cancer, but that doesn’t mean that it’s not possible. Universal Medicine have an approach where looking at our behaviours and our relationship with ourselves plays a big role in what then goes on in our bodies, which gives US the power back instead of us feeling helpless and overpowered.

     1. When we look at life purely as living from day-to-day it is difficult to see the blessing in an illness such as cancer. When we take a step back and look at life as the vehicle to support a greater evolution, even beyond this life and into the next, it becomes apparent that something that impacts our lives so hugely can in fact support us towards a much greater liberation.

        1. Really well said katemaroney1. The physical discomfort can be outweighed by the greater benefits of stopping old ingrained patterns of behaviour that may have contributed to the illness in the first place.

280. “Although I am a successful psychotherapist and well-trained at supporting others in dealing with their difficulties, I had no idea how to cope with this situation.” I am sure this would be the case for most if not all psychotherapists Eva. It is alway easier to understand and be supportive when it is someone else’s illness but when it is our own we can get caught up in the same emotions as everyone else unless we are willing to stop and see what an amazing opportunity illness and diseases are to heal much of our past life.

     1. Yes Alisonmoir, when we become ill, it is those emotions that surface and overwhelms us that disconnects us, so that we no longer have clarity on our next steps or what is needed. Seeking support to deal with those powerful emotions was a life saver for me which cleared all the fog; i.e. the shock, the confusion, the anger the ‘why me’, etc.

281. Our body appreciate it when we listen to it and respect the messages and warning signs it sends us that there is disharmony and the beginnings of dis-ease and we take responsibility for the choices and develop a more loving way to nurture it rather that it needing to create a more aggressive stop for us to return to harmony.

282. Your blog Eva-Maria holds much within it sharing your experience with us all.
     Thank you – there is much to reflect upon within it especially the feeling for me of deep love and appreciation. I will return and read it again.

283. Eva-Maria, I found your article very interesting. It’s so much to go through and I totally understand how, when you get a diagnosis like that, your mind goes into a spin of anxiety and fear that doesn’t help at all. The only thing I found that helped with this was the healing sessions with Universal Medicine, Serge Benhayon and his family. Accepting the treatment and embracing that is so important and the fact that accepting this lessened the side effects is so amazing. Thank you for this blog. It is important to deeply feel where our choices have lead us and important to feel how powerful we are in our own healing, whether we recover from cancer or not, to deal deeply with the things that have been holding us back, is a blessing.

284. Thank you for your sharing Eva-Maria, I love reading how people respond to their treatments and how cancer is an opportunity of a clearing and healing process. I have known so many people in the last year or two having cancer and the more open they have been to healing the more clearing has taken place. We are so lucky that we have this understanding and opportunities to clear illness and disease for our bodies.

     1. I agree Amita – to have the opportunity to truly heal our illness through understanding is so very powerful – and it is not so much luck, as it is our individual choices to be open to this truth.
        For some it is a hard pill to swallow, but I know a few students who have gone through illness and disease but at the same time been willing to look at their responsibility in this, and their healing has been ground breaking. Simply because they were willing to see it wasn’t just a get sick and then fix it process, but a healing for the entire body. This is medicine in all its truth.

285. Eva-Maria this is a much needed blog for everyone to read. With the rise of cancer as one of the most common illnesses in today’s world is it not wise to stop and truly look at what is causing cancer and how we can heal ourselves from it? Better still prevent it from even coming in the first place. The responsibility that we have for our own bodies and our own health is not going anywhere so we might as well start now.

     1. Good point, Natalie. Illness and disease is not going to go away and will only continue to get worse until we are willing to consider that how we treat our bodies and what we physically and energetically allow into them is super important.

286. It’s interesting you chose the title ‘Congratulations, You have Cancer’ Eva-Maria as it is not a statement people usually associate with cancer. From reading this it is clear you have come to a point where you feel that your cancer diagnosis and subsequent treatment has been a great learning for you, and you have come to a point of acceptance – and actually joy – with it. There is no self-blame apparent, merely observing your life choices and how your illness and disease fits in with that. Coming to terms with illness and disease is often one of the largest hurdles people face and what you have shared here certainly shows how this has been possible for you.

     1. Coming to terms with the reasons why we are ill is very humbling in most cases, as we need to face the fact that our own choices lead us to that very place. The shock we feel is testament to the fact of how far deeply entrenched in illusion we have become.

287. This is a world changing story, thanks Eva-Maria, for living this transformation.

     1. Well said Felix, the change and difference to most stories I heard with cancer is completely different.

288. “Congratulations! You have Cancer”, are not two statements people would ordinarily put together Eva-Maria but what you’re presenting is that cancer is a way for the body to clear the unloving choices it has endured through life but also, and what I love about your story, is that your time of working with the cancer treatment was a healing opportunity to re-address and re-imprint the numerous experiences with surgeries, pain, anxiety and helplessness from your past. “This time I would not panic, I would stay with myself and my body, and I would get all the support I needed.” What a beautiful opportunity: to offer yourself the love and support you had previously denied.

289. With true support and understanding and our choices cancer, illness and disease can be a real healing ,blessing and evolution for each of us if and when needed and a real gift.

290. I adore the fact that it changes the perception of illness, it is the opposite of how I have grown up understanding and being told what illness. I am beginning to see illness, aches, pains, soreness as a message, what is my body saying, through this, allowing myself to feel, I have learnt to reconnect and heal my body and reconnect with a inner divinity.

291. Deeply appreciated, thank you for sharing so openly and intimately your experience of cancer and healing “The cancer has not returned, yet, physical healing is not the purpose of true healing as I understand it now. True healing is much deeper, much more profound and really life-changing.” So true to consider true healing is not about the physical but more the way we feel. Yes, this connected to our body, but I feel we are divine and our inner essence is what we reconnect with when we heal.

292. Two major points are made here – one – that cancer can be looked at in a new light i.e. not a curse but a blessing and two – that when we take responsibility for our health and wellbeing and seek help from others as needed, we can make a huge difference.

293. “No matter which illness or disease we have, we can choose to accept it, to look at what our body shows us and to clear and heal deeply. It is absolutely amazing to have such a chance.” This is such a profound statement, and one that deserves us all to ponder on deeply, as it is not a common way to be with illness and disease in our society at present.

     1. I agree Robyn. And it doesn’t have to be a life threatening illness either. Perhaps illness and disease are ways that the body patiently breaks down our arrogance and teaches us how to be humble and respectful of life.

        1. Very true Jinya, and I would add if we do not go into fight mode with the illness or disease but instead surrender to all the learning and wisdom that is being offered by the body when we become ill, so much arrogance and ignorance and self-abuse comes to light which indeed teaches us how to be humble and respectful of our heavenly body and of the life we have been given.

        2. Yes, Jinya, the body certainly does use illness and disease to break down our arrogance and teach us how to be humble and respectful of life. Because all illness and disease offer us the same opportunity as cancer does. Cancer is just seen as BIG in our society because it is literally life-threatening, but it presents us with no more or less of an opportunity to make the needed changes in our lives as a bladder infection or broken bone does. We can just overlook the small stuff, whereas with cancer it is front and centre of our world when we are diagnosed with it and it cannot be avoided by any means. It has to be addressed. What Eva-Maria shows us here is that there is far more for us to address than just the physical.

        3. That’s right Jinya. It need not just be illness and dis-ease. There are so many situations we can create for ourselves to help us see that how we are living is not harmonious or true. Losing sums of money is one that comes to mind. Yes, this can make us stop and ask ourselves “how did I allow that to happen”?

     2. I agree Robyn, it has been great to read and share in Eva-Maria’s rich experience here. There is much to ponder on in this article with regards to illness and disease.

        1. Yes, this article is breaking down a lot of the ways we relate to illness and disease as it holds many revelations to support this, from someone who has lived it, and in such a rich way.

     3. Absolutely Robyn, the title itself “Congratulations! You have Cancer” smashes through a dense collective consciousness around illness and disease.

        1. So true lucindag. I could feel when I read the title that I was considering how rare it is to think of Cancer or other types of illnesses as something worthy of a congratulations. The article is so powerful that the title alone offers an incredible healing.

        2. It does indeed lucindag.

     4. Yes, illness and disease is actually a huge opportunity presented for us to discard what is getting in the way of us going deeper towards our true selves.

        1. A huge opportunity it is indeed, and it is such an amazing way to relate to any illness and disease that we may have now or in the future.

294. There’s so much in this blog Eva-Maria. It’s deeply humbling and exposing. What is very clear to me from your blog is the depth of our lives to teach us to live lovingly. Beautifully demonstrated in the following sentence: “I came to realise that the cancer is a way of my body showing me choices I have made in the past, and that it offers me a huge possibility to heal important issues.”. Life is about healing and evolving and our Soul is using and supporting the body to do so without holding back. Ever. It is us that resist the healing by being ignorant, stubborn, emotional, arrogant. For me it is very healing to read from someone who’s been through such a delicate and intense period of a serious illness. That your experiences may inspire many people around the globe. Thank you Eva-Maria.

295. Thank you for your beautiful and deeply honest sharing Eva-Maria, which turns current thinking about needing to battle cancer on its head and shows that with acceptance of the healing that is being offered and the possibility of turning around past ill momentums, we are being given the opportunity to address past abuse and learn to listen to the messages our bodies so lovingly provide us with.

296. What Eva-Maria shares is Absolute gold. As a Son of God we all have to be responsible for all that happens to us in whatever way. God is love and all he ever shows us is love. So what is it about disease we are missing? Could it be we have strayed from our true Livingness as shared by Eva-Maria, and as presented by Serge Benhayon?

     1. Yes Greg, how endlessly loving is our body to even keep on loving us and bless us after we’ve treated it in all those disregarding and abusive ways. Eva-Maria to me is a gift to earth and will inspire so many people. She’s the living example how Western medicine and Universal Medicine work amazingly well together. There is a purpose to life and our Soul is guiding us. Even in the so called ‘darkest’ moments which in Truth are not dark at all but due to all the emotions are often experienced as such. Thank you deeply Eva-Maria and Serge Benhayon.

297. How would the world look like, if everyone would accept and read their illness like you did. Never would anyone feel victim of their illness, but taking full responsibility of what occured in the body. You are an amazing strong role model -thank you!!

     1. Steffi it would be remarkable if no one considered themselves a victim of illness but saw the healing that was taking place. To be humbled by disease is the greatest gift we can receive, for it allows us to change the way we live that wasn’t supporting us, the illness is always an indicator of that.

        1. Actually sad and very revealing of our way of living, that we need stops like diseases that are able to kill us, to eventually change something and listen.

        2. Very true Stephen, ‘To be humbled by disease is the greatest gift we can receive, for it allows us to change the way we live that wasn’t supporting us, the illness is always an indicator of that.’ I can feel this opportunity whenever I or someone I know gets ill, the illness brings certain behaviours to a stop and allows us time to reflect on what is unloving. Often I notice that people want to just get back to how they were living before and I have observed how another illness will come along if changes are not made and so I am learning to understand why I have become ill and what changes need to be made.

        3. That is the interesting part Rebecca I find, I can have a conviction when ill that I know I need to change my ways, and then slowly the old behaviour creeps back in. Whenever I get sick now I like to look more deeply at how I have been living. I often find a cold or flu or a headache demands more gentleness with me, and this is a great opportunity to bring more gentleness into my everyday way of living and that this illness is giving me this opportunity I otherwise wouldn’t have taken.

     2. That would be such an amazing shift Steffi I agree, if everyone embraced and read their illnesses with this same awareness, appreciation and insight. We would pay much more attention to our lifestyle choices as well as our emotional and mental states, in the full knowing that all these things impact our health. Eva-Maria is a very strong role model whose experiences will go a long way in supporting other people to see and recognise that we are ultimately responsible for the quality of our health and well being.

     3. What you say concerning the shadow of victimhood, is so relevant to how we often disempower ourselves, we get ill and we ask why or perhaps we blame this or that or feel unlucky. When we consider that there is a purpose, natural order in life and we and take responsibility, we can then begin to feel empowered, aware and understand that there is a natural balance being regained, and reconnected with through illness.

        1. The victimisation that we can go into seems to be a common one and the trying to ‘step around’ the fact that it is actually due to our choices that has created the illness or disease is a bitter pill to swallow. But when we take this on board and see that it is a natural balancing and order that we actually all vibrate to then we have to take responsibility for our actions. In this being a victim is not possible as you say Samantha, there is an empowerment and joy.

     4. Absolutely she is a strong role model, it would be really great if people did not get into the fear and see themselves as victims, but see it has an opportunity to heal. More blogs like these being shared will inspire others in their journey.

298. Beautiful sharing thank you Eva, this is a healing in and of itself. I absolutely agree with you that ‘True Healing is possible for each and every one of us’. It is the purpose of any illness or disease to return us to harmony within the body if we so choose to go there.

     1. And if not, the body will continue to love us through illness and disease until the day we finally get the true purpose of it all and work with it.

     2. This turns what people consider illness and disease to be on its head. Absolutely how about we consider the possibility that the true purpose of illness is learning and being open to healing and to return us to true harmony? We have a natural homeostasis that is so often ignored and denied, this is our harmony, our balance. Our body will naturally return to this on a physical and soulful level.

        1. Beautiful Samantha. We do have a natural homeostasis with our body that we frequently ignore. The body’s dedication to getting us back to homeostasis is awe-inspiring. It is an art to learn to handle this vehicle in life without disturbing the homeostasis . . . observe everything, understand, don’t take anything personally, and Be Love!

        2. The body is an amazing instrument that constantly seeks harmony when we put it in disarray, – ‘ I understood that cancer was my body’s way of clearing harmful energies I had taken on. By that I mean, that I had for years been living in a way that was not very loving, indeed it had been quite abusive and those choices had consequences for my body.’

299. True healing is returning to our natural way – so why do we fight so hard against healing? Why are we choosing something that separates, attacks, diminishes, disregards and undermines us? As you have so beautifully confirmed Ava Maria – ‘This True Healing is possible for each and every one of us’.

     1. To answer your questions ch1956, to feel the disregard, the irresponsibility, the lack of care, lack of love, lack of surrender, lack of truth in our lives, is a bitter pill to swallow. So we subscribe to the belief that illness or disease is the enemy and must be destroyed so we can stop ourselves from feeling the awfulness we have been living in. The ‘fight’ keeps us very much distracted from the very Truth and Purpose of the illness and disease we have been diagnosed with. Which keeps us going around in a circle until we are ready to face the music, so-to-speak.

        1. Very clearly and succinctly explained Robyn.

        2. Your comment reminds me, that it is so easy to blame somebody else or to consider ourselves as a victim. Instead of taking the responsibility for all the choices we have made and to clean up the mess what we have caused in the first place.

        3. So true, alexander1207, we are the only ones responsible for what goes on in our bodies and this is the bitter pill we need to swallow in order to truly heal what our bodies are showing us through illness and disease.

300. Very beautiful to read Eva-Maria, your understanding of cancer and true healing is very inspiring to read. I can so relate to the fact that living unloving, that is hard, driven and never having a moment to stop and feel how divinely light I am is an attack on my body and I can very much see how this can grow into an illness like cancer. A great service to all to share this, thank you.

     1. What you say here is so relevant to society and the increase in cancer throughout many countries. Cancer continues to increase and the possibility that we can empower ourselves through the observation of our own behaviours, choices and feelings is awesome.

        1. Yes I find that amazing too – it is very re-empowering to know we can have a hand (a big one) in healing our illnesses and diseases and that it is not just something that comes over you or ‘bad luck’.

        2. Totally Lieke. Taking responsibility is a game changer!

     2. I can relate to this too Lieke. Being hard and protected does indeed harm the body – even though we believe we are creating a safety net around our body, we are actually attacking it from within.

        1. Yes Susie, it has been a huge revelation for me how even the slightest unloving way with myself, like thinking negatively about how I look or something, is actually abuse and an attack from the inside on my body.

301. Thank you Eva-Maria, for sharing your amazing journey with cancer. It is obvious it has been a true healing for you with no thought of cure or no cure. The healing lies at the energetic level, in the place of stillness that you mention you denied in your life before cancer, where we make connection with that part of ourselves and know the truth of who we are and the wisdom we have to make loving choices. The word acceptance stood out for me as a key to that, for if we are resisting that inner essence of our ourselves, we cannot let go of the attachment to previously held ideals and beliefs, for example — this medication will harm me and give me problems. If we do not let go of those and accept all that is offered we will surely suffer the side effects for we create just what we fear, we walk right into what we believe..

     1. Joan, there were a few words in your comment that took my deeper attention and they were “….for we create just what we fear….”. I am coming to understand more fully the impact and potential of the truth of these few words, as I have seen this actually unfold, but closer to home for me, feel the potential that is there for my own self – and just very recently seeing the power we have when re-connected with our inner divine self, and seeing that it is a choice we have – to choose the fear or to choose to accept that those thoughts are actually, for myself, not mine – they come through me – so can choose to renounce them as being real or being actually who I am. I am sure that I would not have come to this understanding without the Ageless Wisdom Teachings as presented by Serge Benhayon, and also shared with me by Natalie Benhayon.

302. A remarkable story thank you Eva-Maria, healing for yourself and also for those in the medical profession who were involved in your care.

303. Love to read of your story Eva Maria, I always find it interesting to read how people respond to treatments and how there is such disparity in why some people recover well and others not so. I feel there is a great strength to be found in being proactive and taking responsibility for both disease and any treatment we receive, I can’t help but feel this alone gives us a much better platform to cope with any ill health that comes our way.

     1. I agree Stephen, being open to not only the treatment but the illness or disease allows us to accept the complete healing available to us if we choose.

        1. I have witnessed quite a few people who would not accept their illness, especially not accept any form of responsibility for having created it through their own choices. What happened was they ran around the globe with a ‘poor me’ victim mentality searching for the magical cure, which they never found, instead of seeking to know the true cause of their ailments.

        2. In healthcare in the UK it is commonplace – many people do not associate the disease as part of them that they have created rather something that has come and invaded them from outside. We work so hard to avoid true responsibility.

     2. Eva-Maria did even better by showing what a difference a deep acceptance of the medical treatment makes – suddenly the side effects are much reduced and it gives one a simple explanation as to why people’s responses to medications may differ so much.

        1. Yes Christoph what I feel reading of Eva-Maria’s experience is that she accepted it to the bone and in doing so was able to work with her medical team in an open and supportive way, and of course in not fighting the treatments she offered the body an opportunity to have less side effects which it embraced with open arms. It’s against the standard narrative on cancer which is all about fighting the disease and working hard to get back to your old life, yet cancer when viewed as a stop and a healing regardless of the outcome can offer so much more, a reminder to show us that how we live may not be supportive and a wake-up call to say we are so much more than we know.

        2. Monica, I am not aware of any research about acceptance and cancer treatment. Presumably because there is no reliable way to measure acceptance but this may be one of the most important components of evaluating the success or otherwise of a cancer treatment. It might be worth looking into.

        3. Great point Christoph. Eve-Maria’s acceptance of her illness and then her acceptance of her medical treatment allowed true healing to occur. This is what true medicine is all about.

        4. Absolutely Christoph. There is so much in accepting not only the diagnosis that one has but also the treatment. This goes such a long way to the experience of the illness or disease.

     3. Great point Stephen, and I have felt this also in my own life experiences and seen this also in others. I wonder how this world would be if we all responded in this way to all illness and disease.

     4. This poses a good question Stephen. Why do some people respond to treatment and recover well while others do not? There is definitely something else going on here. Our attitude and sense of responsibility have as much to do with our own healing as anything else.

     5. Yes Stephen I agree being proactive and taking responsibility is really a much better platform to cope with any illness that will come our way.

304. I enjoyed to read your blog and feel your incredible change and re-covered wisdom and health. This is touching deep, Eva-Maria and reassuring to everyone, beyond the fact of any illness and disease. What you are offering here is very much transferable on to every kind of healing, yet so vividly, because of the life-threatening manner of cancer. Your sharing communicates the deep responsibility and willingness to heal yourself. This itself is very inspirational. As I have witnessed your time in hospital and your change, I can say that the choice to heal you have taken, had an impact on everyone around you. Every single one of the group, who had supported you in hospital got a healing from this experience. I can say that definitely for myself. This time was of a deep learning and healing for me too. Thank you for sharing your experience here and beyond words everywhere you are through your beautiful presence.

     1. Gorgeous Stefanie, through your comment I can feel how Eva-Maria’s approach to her healing impacted everyone and still does with reading of it. She does indeed offer us a way no matter what is the issue to know and understand that we can choose to commit to the healing offered to us in each and every situation.

        1. So true and powerful Monika, “we can choose to commit to the healing offered to us in each and every situation!”

        2. I agree Monica, ‘we can choose to commit to the healing offered to us in each and every situation’. We are here to learn and so do not have to be perfect. Getting over this perfectionism thing for me is huge, it still catches me at times but no longer has the hold it used to have over me.

        3. Yes perfection is quite a yoke we bind ourselves too, and it’s far worse than any physical ailment in many ways for us. It can incarcerate us and ensure that we keep looking outside, striving for something out there to get right and to appease us. It never works and it’s an illusion, and when we come back to feeling and being in our bodies we understand and know that we are indeed here to learn and no matter what we do, and when we approach life with the open observation of being that learner, we allow ourselves the joy of truly feeling and living the truth we are.

        4. And wow what a difference the whole way we view life becomes. For me it has gone from a struggle, finding it hard to get through the day and not really wanting to do anything to actually enjoying the day and looking forward to the day ahead.

        5. God yes it makes a huge difference, when I feel and consider how I now live it’s so different, and there is so much more joy. And now when the perfection comes in, I notice it as I am learning more that this is not normal and it just shows me another piece of it to let go of.

        6. That is awesome Monica – it is fun seeing how quickly I can catch the perfection tendency coming in, or for me the wanting to please others. It is like I can observe my body changing so have the choice to bring it back. It means I do not stay on the self destructive, perfectionism and pleasing path for too long, so it means I do not allow myself and my body to get anywhere near as run down and depleted as I used to get and feel most of the time.

        7. I get the sense here also that the drive for perfection allows us to think that all is OK, when it may not be the case. It allows us to think that we have control, and yet all that we are controlling is our level of awareness, dulling and fragmenting it with the ideal that the perfection will save us.

        8. Very astute comment Lisa, yes that’s exactly it, if things are ‘perfect’ or fit some picture or idea we have we feel we can stop truly feeling what is going on, or being honest with ourselves about how we really are. And the thing is this world is all about change and evolution so there is never a perfect moment, each is complete in itself and then we are offered the next moment or evolution and at times we want this to stop so we go into the cul de sac that is perfection, where we feel in control. Yet all around us and in us is about evolving, becoming more aware, feeling more – perfection stops that, and it’s a pointless exercise since it cannot last, I’m coming to understand that I’d rather learn to embrace evolution than stick to my perfection.

     2. Beautifully expressed Stefanie and what a absolute joy is it to read this article and to know that all illness and disease is a form of healing one way of another, and that this is a fact of life that we can learn from and therefore inspires others to learn also.

        1. Yes, Amina, when a person is ready to open up to such a challenging situation, as Eva-Maria, had to face it, and learn from it, it is a deep inspiration for everyone’s life choices.

        2. Absolutely Amina. Stefanie’s experience of witnessing Eva-Maria’s treatment and healing process is inspiring and to understand that an illness such as cancer is a healing process in itself takes away any of the ideas about it that it is something that has to be fought or battled with, which are words so commonly associated with this illness, and that it can be embraced in a way that can allow true healing.

        3. Yes, Eva-Maria’s healing experience is deeply inspiring.

     3. Thank you, Stefanie, it is beautiful to hear how someone who is committed to taking full responsibility for their choices can bring such grace and inspiration to themselves and everyone around them.

        1. Yes, thats very beautiful to experience. And there are so many aspects of this inspiration, as e.g. Eva-Maria – for my awareness – learned to surrender so much to her situation and to the support from the medical staff, doctors and other students, that it was the other way round a blessing to be with her and to learn that something like support is in truth a mutual exchange, an opening up for each other and the situation, a growing and deepening with the allowance to receive, so both are absolutely equally benefitting. To truly take an offer is a very powerful transformer of the situation and relationship. And in this society – as for me myself too – it is so challenging to allow one’s vulnerability to be seen and really receive an offer.

        2. So well observed Stephanie. It is challenging to allow one’s vulnerability to be seen, and to receive an offer of support. And yet it is incredibly beautiful to do just that and is a healing for both people. To reject a true offer stops the flow of love ad creates further stagnation and illness.

        3. Absolutely Janet, surrendering to healing brings enormous grace

        4. I agree Janet. Taking responsibility for ones health seems to be a rarity these days. There always seems like there is someone or something to blame. When we don’t take responsibility for our choices and the health or illness that follows those choices, it is then difficult to accept the illness and learn from it and heal. So beautiful what Eva-Maria has shared.

     4. Stephanie, what your share so simply, and through Eva-Maria’s experience, is how the choice to heal is always ours and even more so when faced with a life threatening illness. Eva-Maria has shown that we can significantly change our experience of illness, simply by taking responsibility and developing a different relationship with it, the medical teams, and treatments offered. To totally surrender to illness, the prospect of death, and accept all support offered is key and shows a huge trust in the universe and the healing process. Truly inspirational.

     5. Wow Stefanie what an incredible testament that when we take the time to support people that who have cancer or any ill-ness and dis-ease that we are offered an amazing healing process as well. I certainly did when my father was going through cancer and to his last breath it was an incredible journey to see what effect the choices we make can have on the body. It is undeniable that it is definitely the case – it is our body’s way of healing and releasing what is not from our original make up, the Love that we are. It was only till my fathers lasts breaths, when he fully surrendered and let go of fighting, did he come back and connect to this all encompassing Love, that we are from. To be able to witness this was a massive confirmation that our human body is only a vessel for our Soul. This was life changing and an enormous healing for me.

        1. I agree Natalie, when around someone who is dying of an illness, the fact of our resistance to love becomes very clear. It is a gift to witness our return in any way that it occurs.

     6. yes it’s beautifully reassuring to read what committing to responsibility can do in such a testing journey.

     7. Very often in the past I thought one person can’t change the world, you can’t do anything alone. But what you are highlighting here Stefanie is, one person can always make a big difference and can have a big impact on everybody – we basically live all under water and everything affects everything.

305. It’s an arresting title, and yet once I read through the blog I can see why you chose it. Without the cancer, you would never have had the opportunity to connect with yourself in the way that you have. Also the final words… ‘Thank you Serge Benhayon’. There are many of us that feel this deep appreciation, and it is amazing to read about this miracle.

306. Whenever you present Eva-Maria whether in person or in writing I am left feeling there are few words to capture the realness, power and light you bring in your sharings. This blog turns the way cancer is seen and currently dealt with upside down. Your body had been through so much using only the conventional medicine route with little change in how you regarded yourself as a beautiful woman and treated your body, To then to be offered another way to see a bigger picture with the introduction of Esoteric Medicine and then vast, vast changes you have made is proof enough that a combination of the two is what is necessary for true healing and changes. Thank you, you are an inspiration, Eva-Maria.

     1. Beautifully expressed Julie and I second all you share.

307. Thank you for sharing Eva-Maria, it is a great blog to read whether you have cancer or not. I cannot even start to image the amount of anxiety someone would feel when faced with a diagnosis of cancer. Yet to have all of the love and support of Serge Benhayon and the Universal Medicine Community is also huge as you have seen. Thank you sharing and for embracing what has been given to you rather than fighting it.

308. I absolutely loved reading this and feeling how your experience proves it is more than just the physical, but the energetic healing that is far more important and influential. What you share is super simple but extremely power-full and a wisdom that we all can benefit greatly from living.

     1. Great point Joshua, this blog reminds us that life is more than physical and it in fact has an energetic outplay 24-7. And this doesn’t mean that things are spooky like in the ‘spiritual sense’ but a very simple universal fact, proven by quantum physics and known for thousands of years. If life is in fact energy, than how do we live energetically? what are the choices of energy that we make?

        1. And it’s not ‘out there’ or wacko either, it just makes simple sense

309. I find this to be a scary topic even though I completely get that cancer is healing. It shows me how I have fears and anxiety about death and perhaps on a wider level, how some of us have inherited society’s lack of understanding illness, disease, death and the bigger picture and cycle of reincarnation.

     1. Death is actually part of the process of living, something we do not often consider.

     2. Someone I know recently got cancer however it didn’t progress according to the usual stereotype I hear more often than not. Since the ‘illness’ this person has been transformed in their self-awareness, he says that he felt the cancer was a strong warning sign to him to reassess his life and the way he expresses things. I found this remarkable how the body flagged something for the being to look at and change.

310. I have never heard anyone say what the title of this blog says “Congratulations! You Have Cancer”. However having now read this blog, cancer was really a blessing for Eva-Maria and has actually enabled her to change some very destructive behaviours and love herself again. Perhaps if we all saw the great healing available when we become ill, we would embrace what is being presented, rather than run from it.

     1. Yes indeed, Shevon, cancer truly has been a blessing in this instance as it has brought Eva-Maria back to life, love and the glory of her essence – very inspiring indeed.

311. This is a fantastic and very relevant quote for the whole world – “I have been so absolutely ignorant and tortured my body through loads of work, permanent self criticism, never really going into stillness, being hard, smoking, drinking alcohol, taking drugs and in many more ways… and nevertheless I expected my body not to cause any health problems and to function in the way I wanted it to; quite blockheaded of me, considering the fact that I have an excellent university degree, wasn’t it?” How true this is for us all. We literally torture, punish and poison our body everyday with all manner of toxic behaviour, food and drink, call it “normal” (because everyone is doing it) and then wonder why we get so ill. All of this happens under the self imposed delusion we are intelligent because we can accumulate knowledge, even though we willingly ignore the destruction of our own body. We are truly the most un-evolved species on the earth.

312. Wow Eva-Maria, an amazing sharing of your experiences. This line was very powerful about your cancer, that it “is a way of my body showing me choices I have made in the past, and that it offers me a huge possibility to heal important issues.” This is a wake up call for us all for whatever symptom or illness we may have and to begin that process of honest self appraisal to look at where changes can be made now. The body does not lie but I’ve certainly made decisions to ignore what it’s telling me and pretend my body’s symptoms are unrelated to my day to day choices.

     1. Yes Melinda it is so easy to put our heads in the sand and pretend that our everyday choices do not have an affect on our health. It is indeed a wake up call for anyone who is doing this, and also a wonderful opportunity for a fresh look at how we are living.

313. I love your comment Eva-Maria about trusting the deep wisdom of your body even though it was very ill. There is beauty in surrendering to our body’s innate wisdom, as they are so willing to support us. Fighting any illness when our body is calling for deeper love does not truly support us.

     1. Yes, it is such a huge transformation from the common perspective of the body being a functioning vehicle with the brain being the source of intelligence, to that of the body being the seat of wisdom, which we can not only tap into for guidance but through which we can access the source of wisdom – our Soul and God

314. Thank you Eva-Maria, for so honestly sharing your experience with cancer, and the deeper healings you were able to come to, with the help of Serge Benhayon and Esoteric Healing, we truly are blessed to be students of Universal Medicine.

315. Eva-Maria you offer so much here in your sharing of your cancer diagnosis and treatment. I had a scare a few years ago and remember being terrified of what it might mean if I did have cancer, so can relate in some way to the high level of anxiety you describe. I can look back on that experience now, thanks to Universal Medicine, and know it was a clear signal from my body about how I had been treating it and going about aspects of my life. It seems to me that learning to accept what is being offered by an illness or disease is the key to truly healing, and we all have Serge Benhayon to thank for bringing this wisdom back to humanity. Thank you for sharing so openly your experience of cancer and healing.

316. Thank you Eva-Maria, this is an amazing story and very inspiring for anyone going through this illness. As it is such a huge part of our societies i.e illness and disease, it is then amazing to know what to do if and or when something such as this should arise.

317. I know that I have bought into the consciousness of doing the esoteric work to do whatever I can to avoid the scary illnesses. Having the knowledge about how energy affects our body and our lives is an invaluable tool, but something that we can’t squander for ourselves. If I get a cancer that ravages my body, so be it. At least I will know that it will afford me the opportunity for clearing out the backlog of lives lived without love, and the opportunity to reflect to my family, friends and health care professionals of a different way of dealing with disease.

     1. Ouch Jinya I can feel that I have also had an arrogance about avoiding things like cancer almost as a reward for starting to treat my body better and with this a shame when I have been ill. Thank you for highlighting that I still have work to do on erroneous beliefs.

318. Thank you Eva-Maria, what you have shared with us here is super important for all. The marriage between the energetic healing and the physical is so important and you have clearly showed us why. We have a long way to go to get back to true medicine, where the ancients knew it was not just about healing the physicality but also the root energetic cause. Your sharing is a start back to that way and it was great to hear that the medical staff were open to seeing your astounding recovery and wanting to know more.

319. Your description of the process you went through leaves no doubt as to the power of surrender whilst taking responsibility for our behaviours that have a marked effect on the manner in which we respond to medication and treatment whilst we heal.

320. The title of this blog is enough to make anyone stop. I already have an understanding of what you are talking about and work with healing all the time, but still it made me stop. It certainly is not the current normal way to view cancer, and would arouse anyone’s interest. It is a blog that is desperately needed. Thank you for sharing your story.

321. I’m struck by the important part played here by an Esoteric understanding of the body – it was one of the main things that helped you understand and work with your body and the cancer, and to use the medication and treatments as a support. The true healing you came to and the difference Esoteric Modalities and Universal Medicine have made to your life, is absolutely wonderful. Eva-Maria, you remind us here how much more can be offered to patients of cancer (or any other illness or disease) by also allowing the esoteric into our understanding.

     1. Yes, agreed Rosanna. This blog is a powerful example of what is possible with the combination of Esoteric and Western medicine. How common is it that many people struggle with health problems and then with the side effects from treatment and never realise that there is a much bigger story here! The support you received Eva-Maria from Universal Medicine practitioners and students and Serge Benhayon has supported healing on so many levels that aren’t addressed via Western medicine. Eva-Maria – your story is full of golden insights, thank you.

     2. Yes I agree Rosanna, the Esoteric Modalities and the wisdom offered by Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine fills in all the gaps in our current understanding and appreciation of cancer and other major illnesses. Couple this approach and awareness with Western Medicine and we have a winning formula, as evidenced by the incredible shift in Eva-Maria when Serge Benhayon supported her to accept the help that her medication was offering her and thereby completely resolve its side effects.

        1. These shifts are dramatic Rowena I agree. They need to be noted, we have here the future of a truly holistic approach to healing illness and disease.

322. Thank you Eva Maria for your embodied insight into the etiology of cancer !

323. Thank you Merrilee
     “People only responding to what I put out and was willing to accept as me”.
     The words willing to accept as me are very strong. For if I am willing to accept I am a son of God, than this is what I will bring to others. This is how I will hold myself and how others will experience me. The acceptance of being a Son of God is not to be brushed aside, but to be embraced.

324. I remember from being young, and seeing it in young people today, that we push our bodies to the limit of what they can manage, in a kind of arrogance that we know the body will work really hard to off-set the effects of the alcohol, coffee, junk food etc. and come good again. It may appear the body to have greater resilience when we are younger, but that doesn’t mean there is not still damage being done. And then when people get older, they know they can’t quite take the same pace, so they slow down the abuse only just enough to keep functioning. It seems crazy that we don’t turn the whole thing around and say ‘wow, what if I were to treat my body with absolute respect and support and allow this body to thrive’ – what is the potential of how we could feel and live then.

     1. Beautifully said Annie – imagine if we appreciated our body from the outset, and cared for it fully aware of the wonderful mechanism it is, as opposed to using it to get away with as much as we can without any regard for the short term or long term damage.

     2. If it weren’t for the body getting older I wonder how many of us would want to continue to live in the irresponsibility like teenagers? All I can say is thank God that the body does slow down and starts to say no more or we would be in far more trouble than we are!

     3. I have often asked myself the same question Annie, ‘why not put even half the amount of commitment into to truly caring for my body and being as I have done abusing it’, making that normal rather than going into default and opting for familiar instant satisfaction to the taste buds in spite of how the rest of the body may have to deal with it.

        1. The simplicity here of how we could be living is quite startling given where we actually are, but in order for us to commit to caring for our bodies we have to have self worth. In order for the majority to maintain this throughout childhood into adulthood we have to fundamentally change the way we parent and educate our children. We have to teach them that who they are outstrips anything they can do and that they are already amazing and knowing of everything – not empty and disempowered. Allowing kids to be responsible for their choices and allowing them to make them in the first place is only one way for a child to stand as an equal to those adults around them and to feel they are worth something (there are many more).

325. Thank you Eva-Maria for your beautiful words and honest insightful sharing. It is deeply supportive to hear of your journey, and the wisdom you have shared can apply to so many ill-conditions that so many live with, myself included. A great reminder.

326. This is a really interesting perspective and one that needs time to ponder on. Is this really true?…yes it most certainly is…but why? We measure pretty much everything around us, and even our own wellbeing, instead of listening to what we know inside which tells us exactly what we need. We have indeed become very lost in our processes.

327. Thank you Eva-Maria, I can feel your commitment to the healing available through this process and the long term effect on your approach to living – Truly inspiring.

     1. It is very inspiring indeed.

328. An amazing blog Eva-Maria. ” Then I knew deep inside of me that if I am willing to really face these issues and change my life in a way that I truly love and honor my body, come to a stillness within (something I had always avoided) and allow myself to be who I truly am, there would be no reason to be afraid of cancer anymore.” The grace and beauty you emanate with these words is gorgeous. Seeing your new photograph recently says it all – how much you have healed – your tenderness and amazingness shines out. Thankyou so much for sharing.

329. It is amazing how you surrendered to the healing process Eva-Maria, being so open to the messages your body has been giving. Thank you very much for sharing.

330. This blog reminds me of the thought I had once that, if I had cancer, then I would really stop and take care of myself. Why wait? I don’t have cancer, despite it being in my family, but I had a hyperactive thyroid (now recovering), I have atrial fibrillation, I have arthritis, I have osteoporosis – how much more does my body have to shout at me? What am I waiting for? The time for all of us to stop and take care is NOW. Death will eventually take me but up until then, there’s a lot I can learn about self care and love.

331. Wow! Eva-Maria what an amazing, life changing experience you had. Your blog was captivating and beautiful to read. You don’t need to have cancer to adopt your learning experience, you can apply it to any situation.

332. When I look at how many of us – myself included – have tortured our bodies through loads of work, permanent self criticism, never really going into stillness, being hard, smoking, drinking alcohol, taking drugs and in many more ways… and expected our bodies to function, it is pretty clear to see why cancer statistics are nearly 1 in 2.

     1. That is a great point Nicolesjardin, when you put it like that it does make sense and smack a punch. How can we be surprised to get a serious illness when we treat our bodies with such disrespect and live in such a dis-harmonious way. Eva-Maria’s blog should be in all hospital waiting rooms, and medical journals for doctors and patients to read.

        1. I agree Eva-Maria’s blog is such an honest account how we are responsible for everything that we do or not do in life and how we can change the way we are living by taking this responsibility.

     2. And yet, this is not being studied by cancer research as a primary consideration. How come?

     3. When I was younger I could always see that late nights, alcohol, drugs, caffeine etc could impact your health adversely. I knew if I went into nervous tension I’d have difficulty winding down, going hard to push through, but It never occurred to me that this coupled with lack of self worth and self criticism could have the same effects as alcohol and drugs. This was a huge revelation to me and it is something we need to educate on.

        1. Great point Michelle, it is one thing to know what you choose to take in is not good for you, it is another to look at why we choose to do so in the first place!

        2. Exactly Giselle!

        3. Is it that it is only ‘normal’ because it is most common. When we each start to get really honest with ourselves to the fact, normal will be that of taking true care in honour and love for ourselves, that anything less than that shall be what it truly is – completely out of line!

        4. It is amazing that it is still kept separate and that largely there is an acceptance that lack of self worth and self criticism are normal.

        5. Giselle, I love the clarity of what you are sharing here. The fact that the majority of us choose not to look at why we choose the caffeine, late nights and drugs, or choose to look at our lack of self worth and self criticism issues does not make it normal!

333. Thank-you Eva-Maria for a truly inspiring article and one that would be great for all to read, to show there is another way of dealing with our illness and disease by truly being honest with ourselves and having a willingness to take responsibility to change old patterns of self abuse, whether they are physical or mental and by seeing this as a wonderful opportunity to heal and clear from the body what we allowed in in one form or another by our past choices.

334. I recall growing up the fear I had and that was around me of getting cancer. It seemed as though these things in life were like a lottery as to whether you got it or not. What you have shared here and the teachings of Universal Medicine have completely demystified those beliefs and have demonstrated that any illness can be a blessing if we choose to learn the lessons from it.

     1. Yes absolutely Michelle you are right. The teachings of Universal Medicine have definitely demystified for me those beliefs around illness and death and in fact the understandings I have developed through these teachings have been profoundly healing to my life. As a consequence I have restored in myself a much broader and accurate view of what is really going on in the world and the true intelligence behind all of life.

335. This type of blog has the potential to support changing how people view illness. This blog is a gem, rich with your insights of your own evolution. It really made me stop and I took the time to read all of what you said here. This is gold for anyone, ill or not.

     1. I agree Michelle. This blog should be published in medical journals or in popular magazines for all to read. The inspiration it offers is so real and palpable. A must read for anyone living with disease and illness.

        1. Great point Michelle. I wouldn’t be surprised if all the blogs in ‘Medicine and Serge Benhayon’ become a collection for anecdotal evidence one day. All part of a bigger Plan!

        2. Lyndy – I can’t wait for all of this to become popular knowledge!!

     2. This is true Michelle that this blog is for anyone, ill or not, as there are insights into why it is necessary to make changes and take responsibility and this can be done any time – we do not have to wait until a severe illness or disease strikes.

336. Eva-Maria – this blog shines with the light that you now allow to radiate from your body.
     What an amazing transformation for you to accept and trust your body no matter what happens to it. Illness – especially cancer – is seen as an unlucky and awful experience. But what you offer here to so many of us is the opportunity to look beyond the illness – and see it as the body’s way of clearing something we are perhaps not wanting to address in the way we live.
     For you to have that understanding, is profound and requires such strength and love for what is happening.
     As you share – the Benhayons continue to offer so many of us a foundational support that brings a deep level of understanding to all that goes on in our bodies. Your story is absolutely this and is very inspiring.

337. Yet another example in this blog of how inclusive and encouraging Serge Benhayon is of conventional medicine. As Eva-Maria describes ,he was encouraging her to take her medication and accept it as the true support it is, alongside other forms of healing.

     1. Well said Andrew. I know from my recent experience with my Mum just how powerful the drugs are, and the side effects that can come with them. However, we have been doing weekly sessions immediately after the chemo to allow her to go really still and allow the body to get the full benefit from the drugs. My own feeling is that this has greatly helped with her lack of side effects, and that it may improve the efficacy of the drugs themselves.

        1. The combination of esoteric and conventional medicine is a powerful partnership and one that needs to be explored much more.

     2. I very much agree Andrew, and I can speak from experience that taking conventional medicine to truly support me makes a huge difference to just having to take it and not really wanting to take it. It all comes back to working with our body and taking responsibility over our body and life.

338. Yes even cancer could be mostly related to our lifestyle choices. If we consider energy as part of the equation and the energy we are choosing to live in every day as part of the cause, rather than just diet and environment, and don’t fall for the genetic story, then it takes away the disempowered victim mentality and gives the power back to the person with cancer.

339. This is a game changer of a blog – a different perspective and approach to cancer. To see cancer as a huge clearing of ill energy from the body which is actually a healing is a completely different approach from the usual ‘we have to fight it and beat it’ approach.

     1. Absolutely Andrew, I agree. This plays a big part in working with your body, rather than living in turmoil and fighting with it.

     2. Yes, and often the person gets celebrated when they have beaten the cancer and can go back to their old ways of living- it is a triumph for them. Crazy… Message not received I would say.

340. This is so great to read, you so clearly present the power of honesty and Esoteric Medicine alongside your medical treatment. There is a huge healing possible in every illness we encounter, we only have to allow it. This should be available to many more, as it would bring an monumental change to the way we see illness, not as something that just befalls us, but a deliberate way of our body to clear that which is not true to it.

     1. Yes I agree Benkt, seeing illness and disease with that insight and understanding unlocks the potential for great healing to occur.

341. Thank you so much for sharing this blog Eva-Maria. I feel like I have understood healing on a whole new level and that there is likely to be even more to learn. There were many times when I got frustrated that an illness kept coming back, or didn’t heal. Yet the more I pay attention to my relationship with my body, as you have described here, the more my body tells me what is needed to heal and the issue rarely resurfaces if I have truly understood what it is sharing. The support that can be found from practitioners who live this way in their daily life is immense. I am so pleased you had the support you did from Serge Benhayon. Thank you for the inspiration.

342. “Serge then also helped me to understand that it is important that I let my medication in as a support, instead of having the injections and hating them at the same time.” To surrender to this level of healing is a big learning Eva-Maria, to let in medication as a loving way of support although it is causing you severe pain and other bodily inconveniences. Allowing love in our lives and to let it do its work is the way to go, even when allowing in this love is causing the body to respond to that with heavy clearings such as cancer and the like. If we can fully appreciate what these clearings are offering to us we are well on our way back home, to a life of love, and in full appreciation of it.

     1. Beautifully expressed Nico, and so true on many levels. Having this sort of clarity is huge and an amazing support for us all.

        1. Indeed Amina, the clarity we get when we allow ourselves to surrender to the grander picture, the bigger plan, is supporting us all on many levels equally so.

343. Thank you Eva-Maria that was an amazing article and it definitely offers a deeper perspective on illness and disease.

344. Thank you Eva-Maria, I love the straight forwardness and matter of factness you bring, there is no detour just love applied and lived.

     1. Agree, no drama- just truth delivered! Love it!

345. I have been personally affected by cancer in my family and friendship circles, with collectively every system and organ of the body being affected. I’ve witnessed the physical pain and extreme discomfort associated with the symptoms and treatments and it is not at all easy to see; but what you share here about such a delicate situation is that there can be more for us to see, feel and learn than meets the eye and thus we can seek to heal from every angle and facet that is possible to us.

     1. I have also witnessed the effects of cancer in people close to me. I have seen what is possible when there is a deeper understanding of why this condition has occurred, and the healing that can take place when this very delicate time is supported as lovingly as possible.

     2. Someone in my family also recently got cancer. It wasn’t nice on a physical level.. but what I did notice was that we all had an opportunity to get closer as family and talk about things we had harboured for decades. It was as if an invisible hand had played its card and offered everyone (not just the person with the cancer) a chance to reassess their relationships and if possible let go of what was unhealthy.

        1. This is beautiful what you share Dean and has also been my experience. There is an opportunity offered to all those around ‘cancer’ to re connect with themselves and each other at a deeper level. The healing that can happen is a blessing for everyone collectively.

        2. I agree Victoria, ‘the healing that can happen is a blessing for everyone collectively’ though initially I was very surprised that their could be an up side to cancer based on what I had accepted from society about it. Whilst it can be a most horrendous thing to experience or possibly die from there is also the opportunity for very deep healing to those that are willing.

346. This is so super powerful Eva-Maria, to view illness and disease (including cancer) not as something that leaves us as a victim but as a powerful healing and communication with our bodies; providing us the opportunity to look at how we are living and what choices we make. Very empowering!

     1. Agreed Cherise this is very powerful and instead of allowing us to be victims we are shown that responsibility is the true way forward in healing.

     2. For a long time we have viewed illnesses as mysterious occurrences that are unfortunate or unlucky. We have perhaps all lived so disconnected to our body that to connect the illness to a way of living was not easily possible. Eva-Maria is showing through her life the direct connection between choices and her relationship to herself, and what later happened to her body via illness. This awareness is a shift we all need to make to take responsibility for our health, and see the correlation between how we live and our body’s symptoms.

     3. I agree Cherise this is a powerful testimony of how we do not have to be a victim of cancer, or fear getting cancer, and that our lifestyle choices carry far more importance than we probably want to admit.

347. I loved reading your blog Eva-Maria, it felt so confirming and true for me. Listening to our innate wisdom and taking responsibility for the way we live is certainly the key.
     “No matter which illness or disease we have, we can choose to accept it, to look at what our body shows us and to clear and heal deeply. It is absolutely amazing to have such a chance”.
     Thank you for your beautiful and honest expression.

348. Eva-Maria this is a great learning and true healing. What a journey you have had. I once heard a very wise man say that the whole of the universe is there, constellated to bring us back to love and therefore to who we truly are. When I read blogs like this one, I am reminded that we are SO LOVED and cared for by God, the Masters and supported by ALL of life. We view cancer as the enemy when in fact it is a blessing in disguise. I am inspired by the way in which you have embraced the learnings and changed your life around. You have taken responsibility for how you got there in the first place and now sharing with thousands of others the true healing that is possible with illness and disease.

349. Receiving a diagnosis of cancer is one thing to deal with but shock, fear, panic and desperation are common reactions and have to be dealt with firstly and respectfully. I love the explanation that lifestyle choices had been energetically harming for your body and cancer was your body’s way of getting rid of them. It’s sensible and responsible the way our bodies respond to the way we treat them.

     1. This is true Bernard, Eva-Maria has clearly pointed out how our lifestyle choices can energetically harm our bodies. Science is also aware of this, epigenetics has been showing us for some time now that our lifestyle choices have a far greater effect on our genes than hereditary factors do. It is a shame with such rising rates of illness and disease that the medical industry has not caught up with what science is telling us. Lifestyle choices have been shown to significantly reduce illness and disease, why is this not front page news? Back this up by the evidence of the students of The Way of the Livingness, just see their before and afters and their 1000’s of testimonials like this one and we have a clear way forward.

350. An absolute Testimony to the Amazing work of Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine.

     1. Agreed Harry and there are many more stories like these. True miracles in our time.

     2. Indeed a true testimony of the invaluable support Esoteric Medicine provides the individual and what a great complement it is to conventional medicine in all aspects of health, including the more severe cases such as cancer.

     3. Yes agree harryjwhite, true education is what Universal Medicine is offering and many lives have turned around with the deeper understanding and acceptance of what it means to be truly responsible.

     4. You would call it a miracle in the world, but Eva Maria is showing very profoundly how everything can change, if you change the root energy. I like the example of side effects and when she accepted it as a support her body didn´t resist anymore and didn´t react anymore. Fascinating how much changes when we are aware of energies that causes complications.

     5. Oh yes – Eva-Maria is a living proof, of what is possible, when you start making loving choices and the work of Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine.

351. Very beautiful to hear about how you dealt with this time in your life, and began to accept and take more responsibility for yourself, which led to a wonderful healing.

352. An absolutely game changing piece Eva-Maria. Thank you for sharing. Cancer is the result of our lifestyle choices, and not just our genes.

     1. The UK medical system have just announced this publicly, (result of lifestyle choices) but I wonder if they understand it at this deeper level? It’s time to let them know how much more is involved than just what we eat, imbibe, or the stress we put ourselves under. The root cause is energetic, and a total acceptance of our responsibility is required to heal, as Eva-Maria so beautifully expresses from her own experience.

        1. That’s interesting joanchristinecalder that the UK medical system have announced something around certain illnesses being a direct result of our lifestyle choices. What will they do with this information now is the question? And how will this change the current model of ‘get sick, get fixed’ to something that supports, promotes and encourages living in a way to prevent some of the illnesses?

        2. Beautifully said Joanchristinecalder

        3. I didn’t know this Joan. This is a great start that a professional body has finally seen and admitted this; but as you share and as Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine teach, we need to get to the root energetic cause of illness and disease: ‘Everything is energy’ (Albert Einstein) and ‘everything is because of energy’ (Serge Benhayon).

        4. Yes I heard that also Joan, they are only contributing a very small percentage of cancers to our genes and more to lifestyle choices which seems to be a huge step in the right direction.

     2. That’s the truth Harrison. Our everyday choices and thoughts which create a certain way of living or lifestyle end up having a huge impact on our health.

        1. Hi Sandra, Harry, and Vicky, and everyone who read my comment. I have just remembered it was The World Health Organisation that put out this statement and it was reported on UK radio. This is a medical organisation but perhaps it was my wishful thinking that The National Health in the UK itself had come to this understanding? However, I do feel, (and I have been in hospitals a lot recently), that when I talk to doctors and nurses, health care workers and consultants, most of them do have a knowing that it is lifestyle that contributes to disease. But it stops at that and it seems that they don’t always apply it to themselves, there is always that feeling of helplessness about what that truly means. So it comes back again to the deeper underlying question about what energy influences that disregarding and habitual life style. There is such a great responsibility about what doctors say to their patients. A member of my family just had a big bowel operation and the consultant, very skilled and expert in her field, told him to go away and drink lots of beer. This has confirmed him in his old patterns. However, the WHO statement does convey that there is movement towards recognition of the facts.

        2. Deep down we all know that our lifestyle choices make a huge difference to our health. I feel that it is our (humanity’s) stubbornness and desire for entertainment and comfort that allows us to avoid this fact and instead pretend we do not know what’s going on.

     3. Yes Harry, so true. What I love about it is the revelation, it were our choices which created misery and drama and the moment, we start making loving choices, we can change everything again. It is never about other people, it is about us making the loving choices.

353. The understanding and acceptance you brought to this situation, through taking responsibility for your lifestyle choices, dissolved the battle against the disease in your body to the point of accepting anything is possible, even death, is huge and supported your willingness to get to the root cause of the discord. There is such a lesson in your story for us all.

354. and to add that you present that cancer is actually an opening and opportunity and that is absolutely life changing (and lifetimes changing) for anyone with cancer who is reacting, as most do, by closing down and seeing cancer as the end of the road.

     1. As is all illness an opportunity to look at one’s life and make changes. I haven’t had cancer, but have had 2 fairly major health conditions and would say 100% that they developed because I was living in a way that didn’t support my deeply sensitive and delicate nature…my lifestyle was pummelling my body and it had to give me huge Stops to get me to see this, and I graciously accepted the opportunity to change.

355. Eva-Maria you write with crystal clear clarity and by doing so offer true light and healing for every-one.

     1. True Alexis. There is not one ounce of drama or emotion here – just an appreciation for the healing that is possible in every opportunity.

        1. Amazing really Alexis & Kylie, and in this article is someone taking responsibility for their actions without self blame, what an inspiration.

        2. And that is so precious and much needed in this arena, Kylie and Alexis I agree. This article is an essential read by all those afflicted with cancer. There is so much fear and emotion around this subject that actually clouds the waters and stops us from seeing the real truth of this disease. I love the clarity, insights and wisdom that Eva Maria has brought to this subject, an article that delivers a great deal of wisdom, awareness and healing for everyone.

     2. So true – just by reading the sharing of Eva-Maria I got a healing session. Our blogs and sharings are so powerful – I realize more and more: expression is everything.

356. This is a very powerful blog and a wakeup call for me and my arrogant spirit thinking I am getting away with eating foods my body does not want or need. Your story highlights for me that our bodies are continually offering us signs that something in the way we are living is not harmonious and is affecting our health and well-being and when we ignore these messages something more serious happens in our bodies and we have to clear the illness and disease we have created one way or another.

     1. Yes Margaret, and I have come to understand that illness and disease is the body loving us, as our body is always going to be looking to return to harmony.

357. Such a precious sharing Eva-Maria! I love how you have shared this from your experience and how you allowed the situation to be and yourself to learn from it all. Never at any point in your blog have you gone into a preaching or telling someone what to do, nor have you put yourself down or diminished yourself with the experiences that you have had. This, and the love and care that you carry for yourself today can be felt in your writing and is healing and a blessing for anyone to read. Thank you for your honest and open writing!

     1. I agree Henrietta, no preaching in what Eva-Maria has shared and actually feeling her celebration of it and therefore truly carrying the awareness and understanding offered in the title, without reservation, into the whole blog and that seems natural as it is obviously being carried into her life.

        1. Spot on Simon – this is the best kind of sharing – one that allows you the space to take on board what you choose and be inspired by how another has handled things!

358. Thank you Eva-Maria for your real sharing and beautiful understanding of the true gift and healing opportunity with illness and disease and its purpose in our lives. And the knowing that this true healing is possible for each and every one of us.
     “No matter which illness or disease we have, we can choose to accept it, to look at what our body shows us and to clear and heal deeply. It is absolutely amazing to have such a chance.”

359. Indeed Vanessa – a lot of people may not be ready to hear what has been shared here, and some may just need some time to reflect more deeply on it. Either way, it is for each and every one to make their own choice.

360. Eva Maria your honesty in revealing your fears despite the fact that you council people all the time just suggest the humility and vulnerability you are willing to embrace. We sometimes put practitioners on a pedestal and forget we are equally on our path of return thus all learning and clearing.

361. “Congratulations you have cancer” versus ‘fighting cancer’. There can be no battle when there is acceptance and willingness to get to the root of the discord.

     1. So simple yet so powerful Jeanette. Twenty years ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer, my response was to fight and beat it, returning to work as quickly as possible. Today I can imagine myself saying “congratulations you have cancer!

     2. ‘fighting cancer’, it doesn’t sound very harmonious does it? We fight our illness and disease when the body is trying to clear them from our bodies. I guess if you are abusing your body and not acknowledging you are, how on earth could you comprehend that an illness is a clearing and an opportunity to heal.

     3. Thank you for clarifying the title of this great article Jeanette. Now that you are seeing ‘Congratulations you have cancer’ as an alternative to ‘fighting cancer’ I can see what the intent of it is. It was the one thing puzzling me about the article which in every other way is very inspiring. I would say, ‘Congratulations for being honest and truthful and claiming you, through dealing with cancer . . . and sharing this evolutionary way with the world’.

     4. Absolutely Jeanette, once we can begin the understanding as Eva-Maria has here, we realise the fight is futile, as what are we fighting? Our own body?

362. It is also ‘amazing’ to have the opportunity to share your blog Eva Maria – in explaining your experience you have shared with us a wisdom that is contained within the Universe as a whole and present for us all to feel – and that is a great blessing for humanity.

363. Thank you Eva Maria for reminding us that the body is our friend not our enemy and that when we develop an illness or disease it is not to be deemed as a bad thing but to feel deeply its message and to understand it as a blessing.

     1. Very wise words Kathryn, our body is our friend not our enemy.

364. Great to hear your story Eva Maria and to celebrate with you. Cancer is not often looked at in this way but I know from my own experience too that our disease is a consequence of our choices and when we honour and respect this we can turn our lives around. Thank you for an amazing blog.

365. This is very humbling and inspiring. Every generation is taught from a very early age that illness is a result of a weak body. We blame the body for it’s shortcomings without once taking responsibility for why it is that way. We are intelligent enough to get PHD’s and build rockets that go into space, but it takes our body’s simple and innate yet ignored wisdom to remind us of what true intelligence is. The intelligence of love. Thank you for sharing this Eva-Maria.

     1. I so agree Jinya and it is the love that the body is made of that brings forth the illness and disease as a form of correction so that all can return to harmony. All cells no matter how chaotic a state they are in all work towards coming back to a harmonious state. This is a scientific fact.

     2. So true, Jinya. The body feels like the great equaliser. We can go up into the clouds via our mind with a PhD, but when we get sick our world can be brought to its knees. To me, this shows the power of the body, and to have this wisdom twisted by the belief that it is weak for being sick or we are being punished for something because we get sick, is very damaging as it dulls down the opportunity for a deep healing to occur, such as what Eva-Maria has shared here.

366. Truly supportive and very wise blog, Eva-Maria. It is for everyone to read and understand the true healing and importance of self care and self love.
     Thank you very much for your honest sharing.

367. Eva-Maria, thank you for sharing your story, ‘No matter which illness or disease we have, we can choose to accept it, to look at what our body shows us and to clear and heal deeply. It is absolutely amazing to have such a chance.’ I agree, and to have the support of Serge Benhayon to help us understand the processes our body is going through is also amazing.

     1. This perspective allows us to see the healing and blessing that is any disease or illness. Of course it is not pleasant to have to go through such things, but if we are open to the healing then it changes everything!

        1. Indeed Henrietta, when we are open for the healing and are able to surrender to it, we surrender to the wisdom our bodies are carrying. Illness and disease is our bodies way to discard the ill energies that we have brought to it through living our lives in disconnection from our bodies and when this fact is appreciated and truly felt, then this surrendering will bring us healing on a much deeper level than when we only accept the treatment as a cure for the illness the body is presenting to us.

        2. That’s true Henrietta. Eva-Maria shows us that we can still be joyful despite enduring the discomfort of illness and medical treatment. I have experienced feeling very sick but still very connected to the loveliness and joy inside of me.

        3. Beautifully said Nico and Annie – and hence I love the play on words that Eva-Maria has used in the title “congratulations you have cancer” – Illness can be the blessing that sets us free.

368. Hello Eva-Maria , deeply appreciate your sharing on the way cancer took you a few steps back in life…..And what a remarkable recovery and now sharing your wisdom is a gift for all humanity.

369. One of the lines that has stood out for me today is: “I came to realise that the cancer is a way of my body showing me choices I have made in the past, and that it offers me a huge possibility to heal important issues.” This applies to so many things in our life, not just illness or disease. It is literally a game changer to see life and ‘circumstances’ in this way.

370. There is a real arrogance in the way we can treat our body. I love how Eva-Maria exposes that the way we treat our bodies will have an effect on it and will come out at some stage. For if we pollute it, that pollution has to come out, right? To embrace the healing that is offered through an illness or an ‘accident’ is an enormously responsible way to live and brings with it the opportunity to correct the way we have been with our body, to stop the cycle of pollution, and change our way.

     1. Yes, Robyn, this amazing blog confronts us in our arrogance and irresponsibility in the way we assault our bodies, thinking we can get away with it. To address this ill pattern within ourselves and finally listen and learn from what the body communicates is life-changing, as Eva-Maria has beautifully captured here.

        1. I agree, Janet, so it is no wonder this level of responsibility can be hard for us to hear as it calls us and our way of living to account and this can be very confronting. Thank goodness we have people like Eva-Maria leading the way in how to be responsible with our bodies after we have not been for so long.

     2. Yes beautifully said Robyn, and knowing this to be true we can really appreciate the love that our body is made from. A love that says ‘no’ to a wayward state of being and tries as best as it can to correct itself through accidents, illness and disease in order to return to the harmony it knows itself to be.

        1. So true, Kathleen. I love how you have encapsulated the love that our bodies have with the line, “A love that says ‘no’ to a wayward state of being and tries as best as it can to correct itself through accidents, illness and disease in order to return to the harmony it knows itself to be.” The body certainly operates from a point of great love for us to support us in this way. It is very humbling in fact.

        2. Yes Robyn, and this love often presents a truth that we don’t really want to hear or acknowledge as it means we have to take responsibility.

        3. That it does, Kathleen. Sometimes (or maybe often?) when we are presented with Truth we can resist it because we know that we are also being asked to go to a greater depth of responsibility. But resisting is futile, as Love is stronger than anything else we may pull in to avoid the Truth, so it is inevitable that a shift is going to be made, and this can happen through our body as the most effective way to do it.

371. This is a great explanation of what cancer is and the healing for the body it offers. When reading your blog I sense a strong knowing in every word you write. Very worth reading and a completely different spin to how cancer is perceived as an issue to fight, rather than something to learn and heal from.

372. An inspiring sharing Eva-Maria. There is so much here to absorb! The fact that you followed through with some incredible healing that you received from Natalie Benhayon and then Serge Benhayon. You have tuned into your body and what it was showing you it needed and did this for yourself, this is so important in the healing process. Thank You.

373. This is the introduction of an amazing book Eva-Maria! The world is waiting to hear the truth that you have lived!

     1. Great idea, rachelandras, a book of Eva-Maria, for the world to learn the truths she discovered and is living now. And this article should be made widely available in all the hospitals and doctor practices.

374. With the cancer rates at a level that no one has ever experienced before this is a truly well needed article. Everyone needs to stop and take a good hard look at how they have been living because as we alll know now, cancer is not just down to bad luck and that if we manage to beat cancer through conventional medicine it is wise to look at why we got it and not go back into old patterns and ways of living with issues not dealt with.

     1. Strong comment Kevin, I have to agree, it’s time for humanity to make a change, if we don’t, our bodies will make us know about it and keep on bringing these messages and offerings for us to wake up to ourselves…

     2. With cancer rates so high, why are the majority still relying on medicine to heal us and save us? We need these medicines, yes, I’m not anti medicine, but why are we not asking questions? Why are we not looking outside the square?

375. What I found inspiring about your blog was the way you allowed yourself to be vulnerable and ask for support. My experience has been that people who are great at supporting others don’t often fare so well with supporting themselves. My opinion is that the treatment you got from the conventional doctors together with the healing sessions is the way forward. For me, esoteric healing is the missing link that assists us to get to the root of the problem so that we can heal the way of being that contributed to causing the illness.

376. It’s so interesting what you share about your reaction to the injections you are having. When you stopped hating them, and let them in as a support, the side effects lessened. When we fight what is happening, it does make life more difficult. By allowing the medication to support you, you were no longer working against it, but with it.

     1. It’s amazing how when we work against medicine in our body we can have side effects, but when we allow our body to work with the medicine the two can work together to fix, mend and heal. How powerful then is the energy we align to?

377. The title of your article caught my eye and I was immediately drawn to read it. How could having cancer be something to congratulate someone about? Reading your article I can now see what an amazing opportunity having cancer gave you to start to truly heal yourself and actually change the way you had been living that contributed to getting the cancer. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.

     1. Great point Debra – who would say ‘congrats’ after being told that someone has cancer? This article is a game changer, not so much in revealing in the fact that someone has cancer and congratulating them, but opening our hearts to see illness and disease in a new Light. In a way that does not fight it but brings understanding and love to it.

378. Much to digest in your blog, Eva Maria about the way we live with ourselves and the true role of illness and healing. What shines through is the importance of the relationship we have with and the regard we hold (or don’t hold) for our bodies and how the body is constantly messaging us, even when severely ill. That is love indeed.

     1. Yes absolutely Cathy, the importance and impact of the quality of relationship we have with our body really shines through.

379. Serge Benhayon teaches that life is medicine and how we can be our own medical practitioner by taking responsibility for our own health and preventative steps to minimise the onset of illness and disease. We are also shown, should illness occur, and even the most serious conditions like cancer, that it is not the end of the world or our lives. Instead, it can be a new beginning where we learn to accept not to fear or dread an illness or treatments offered. With the support of doctors and esoteric medicine practitioners, it is possible to go deeper, understand the illness and work step by step towards our own healing.

380. What this blog shows is that even when we have a serious illness, it’s worth reflecting on what is happening and why. With time, it is possible to receive the hidden gift submerged beneath the emotional whirl of initial diagnosis.

     1. Well said, illness offers an opportunity to heal and gain deeper awareness

     2. Hear hear Kehinde – love this comment.

381. Serge Benhayon, founder of Universal Medicine teaches that life is medicine: we can be our own medical practitioner by taking responsibility for our own health and preventative steps to minimise the onset of illness and disease. We are also shown, should illness occur, and even the most serious conditions like cancer, that it is not the end of the world or our lives. Instead, it can be a new beginning where we learn to accept not to fear or dread an illness or treatments offered. With the support of doctors and esoteric medicine practitioners, it is possible to go deeper, understand the illness and work step by step towards our own healing.

     1. ’ With the support of doctors and esoteric medicine practitioners, it is possible to go deeper, understand the illness and work step by step towards our own healing.’ – Well said Kehinde, I have first hand experienced this to be true. When we stop fighting the illness but are open to the fact that there is so much more to us than what is shown on the surface, or that which is hidden under layers of self made protection, true healing can begin.

382. What a stupendous blog if I may say so Eva-Maria and gosh this world needs to read this and KNOW that there is another way and anything is possible.
     You are a living walking talking miracle and one of thousands that Serge Benhayon has supported. I myself have also recovered and lead a very strong and steady life that is no longer full of sugar, overwork and exhaustion.

     What really sticks out in your blog for me is when you say –
     “I have been so absolutely ignorant and tortured my body through loads of work, permanent self criticism, never really going into stillness, being hard, smoking, drinking alcohol, taking drugs and in many more ways… ”
     How many people today could relate to this or are actually living in this way ?
     I know loads of people doing this – ignoring and torturing their body.
     That self criticism is a killer in itself. It like eats away at you inside and you become addicted to doing more of the same and then anything we repeat which includes our thoughts just becomes normal and I found it made my body hard and very rigid. I had this ingrained pattern and it took years to knock it out and lock in a loving and caring foundation that does not require alcohol and all the other harmfull substances that used to keep me functioning in life. Thanks to Serge Benhayon and his teachings I was able to let this old lifestyle go and there is no turning back now.

383. Absolute gold, your blog, Eva-Maria.
     “I came to realise that the cancer is a way of my body showing me choices I have made in the past, and that it offers me a huge possibility to heal important issues. Then I knew deep inside of me that if I am willing to really face these issues and change my life in a way that I truly love and honor my body, come to a stillness within (something I had always avoided) and allow myself to be who I truly am, there would be no reason to be afraid of cancer anymore.”
     Every human being who can come to this conclusion has a life that will never be the same and inspires everyone they come in contact with.

384. Wow Eva-Maria! What a super powerful blog! I loved your closing lines “True healing is much deeper, much more profound and really life-changing.” True healing is indeed much more than the physical body and if / when we as humanity realise and begin to live with this level of responsibility and to energetically understand the root causes of disease, not only will it support us physically, but imagine the lessening of the burden on the health system!

385. I love the title of this blog. It shows to me how any illness or disease can be seen as a gift where there is something for us to look at and heal. Eva Maria, thank you for sharing what true healing is all about.

     1. I too love the title of this blog. It certainly turns the way we see cancer on it’s head!

     2. Spot on Mariette and Robyn – the title of the blog sure catches your eye! Congratulations, you have cancer! It is a healing when we understand the deeper purpose of illness and disease.

     3. Yes it is a great title – but may be in the same way very challenging for some. Nevertheless in this article someone is speaking who has experienced one of the most dangerous cancer forms and it is more than worth giving it a chance, and ponder where the reactions one may have, come from.

        1. For sure challenging, as most of us see cancer as a threat, as something we have to fight. As something we have to get rid of, instead of seeing it as something that happens to us for a reason.

386. Eva-Maria, I was blessed to see and experience with my own eyes what you present here. The enormity, the huge process and healing that took place is very well shown in your words, but even far more incredible than one ever would believe. The power of you accepting, understanding where your cancer came from (your choices thru life) supported or even initiated by Universal Medicine is far beyond imagination. Your case is one which not only encourages people who are or may be diagnosed with cancer but everyone.

387. I don’t know if when growing up there was as much cancer happening as now or people never talked about it? Ignoring the elephant in the room does not mean it is not there. Articles as this one opens up cancer to really drag it into the light and see what it can bring to inspire others on how this scary word is not the monster in the closet.

388. Thank you Eva-Maria, for sharing your experience. Anxiety about many things is common, and especially where our health is concerned. Being able to have acceptance is key, and allowing for whatever our body may need at that time.

     1. Wise words Amelia and such an inspiring blog by Eva-Maria. This is the type of article that should be published in every site or forum about cancer. The support it provides is life changing.

        1. The beauty of Eva-Maria’s article is it brings a true understanding of the nature of illness and disease. This is a refreshing read as so much literature is around the management and not the true healing of cancer and the integral part we play.

389. This article would be super supportive featuring in a medical magazine in a surgery waiting room – somewhere where it can touch and inspire many who are in a fearful place with their conditions. There is so much confusion and mystery around cancer and why we get it – some feel like it’s a luck of the draw and totally random so no wonder we go into overwhelm and anxiety because there is little or no understanding to why it is happening. This article needs to be shared for all to feel deeper into the why’s and how’s of cancer.

     1. This is so true. This kind of article can inspire, because although it is factual it presents questions that one can ask oneself, it is not a closed book like many other articles suggest, we can learn understanding and appreciation through everything.

     2. Absolutely Rachael I agree. Eva Maria’s article is much needed in all the waiting rooms around the world, to support those who are facing this diagnosis and receiving treatment. Western medicine has made huge leaps in the treatment and control of cancer, but we are failing ourselves in the true understanding of what is causing it in the first place. The support and education received from Serge Benhayon has evidently made sense of the entire situation for Eva Maria, cutting all the fear and anxiety she was getting stuck in, empowering her instead to see how her choices had created the illness and how to support herself and her body through the on-going treatment. When we truly connect to the energetic nature of the world we live in, cancer is a miracle, it’s the body’s way of drawing out all the toxic energy we have pulled in to it. When this is fully appreciated, we will make massive shifts in how we regard and treat the disease and how we prevent it from occurring in the future.

     3. I agree Rachael, this is great inspirational reading for people in a surgery waiting room as besides all the bewilderment and confusion that is around cancer there is also the belief that it is something that you have to fight. I remember my father saying that he intended to fight his cancer and in all that fighting he refused any proper pain relief, as he thought taking it would be the equivalent of giving up!

390. To go from fear and loathing of illness and your situation Eva Maria to understanding and accepting what your body is communicating is nothing short of a miracle! A truly inspiring and very profound blog that shares the experience of coming to terms with the amazing clearing and learning on offer when we change our view of sickness and illness. To be honest, I have always feared cancer and disease, but through reading your sharing I feel more accepting and the will to be more attentive to communicating with my body.

     1. That’s great Rachael, as there is no real point in fearing anything. Even when the worst is happening if we stay as the observer and not become involve we are ok. I was in a near fatal car accident once and I remember thinking, as it was all happening like in slow motion, just relax and surrender. I was in my early 20’s and was nearly crushed by the car which had rolled over and landed on top of me. Despite all that was happening, it wasn’t as bad as one projects things to be. The car was on top of me and I couldn’t breathe, but I was still amazed at how calm I was.

391. True and thanks for the reminder – just like Eva-Maria Förtsch in her article, Fiona McGovern lived with the full awareness of what cancer meant for her on a much deeper level than her physical diagnosis and symptoms. It is contributions like these that will eventually turn around the way we view illness and disease and their role in our lives.

     1. I agree Gabriele,
        Eva-Maria and Fiona have delivered to our world their very real lived experience of having allowed themselves to fully understand their illnesses and have allowed true healing to be in their bodies. This cannot be ignored, for just now the world is not a place of true health, it is instead a place where many manage as best they can so they can keep living lives of disregard when it comes to the human body.

392. Thank you Eva-Maria for sharing yourself so generously. I love what you have presented here “No matter which illness or disease we have, we can choose to accept it, to look at what our body shows us and to clear and heal deeply.” This is so true and if accepted takes the fear right out of the equation.

     1. So true, Kathleen. Acceptance leaves no room for fear.

        1. So true Robyn as once we accept a situation we can remain in the observational perspective and therefore be more able to read what is truly going on and be able to respond accordingly.

        2. Yes, as we don’t get sucked into the mess we have made, instead we can see it from a greater perspective when we allow ourselves to observe.

     2. I agree Kathleen. The fear is one thing that grips people to the core, when with love and understanding, acceptance and appreciation melts it all away.

393. Thank you Eva-Maria. I am deeply touched by the openness with which you have shared your experience. Whilst I have never had cancer, there was so much in what you shared that I can apply to my own life.

     1. I agree Hannah, and the fact that Eva-Maria is so open to sharing her experience and relationship with cancer is incredible. It is a blessing to hear someone speak with such understanding and openness about an illness.

        1. So true Susie, it is a blessing in both that we are met with the grace of such openness of expression but also that we are offered the opportunity to examine our own ideas and beliefs around illness that we otherwise would have held onto for goodness knows how long without ever stopping to feel if they were actually true for us.

     2. Absolutely agree and and as you say Hannah so much of what Eva-Maria shares applies to all areas of life, we needn’t wait for a diagnosis before we take this level of responsibility for our true health and wellbeing.

        1. Exactly Victoria, by sharing her experience, Eva-Maria is giving us a “heads-up” – if we take heed we needn’t wait for our own diagnosis but can start upping the responsibility we take for our health and wellbeing from this point on.

394. “The cancer has not returned, yet, physical healing is not the purpose of true healing as I understand it now. True healing is much deeper, much more profound and really life-changing. I feel that without this deep understanding and without addressing the root cause of cancer, which is always a certain way of being with oneself and others, it is possible for the cancer to return.” This is beautiful and completely takes away the ‘food’ for anxiety and panic about cancer and other illness and disease. I can’t imagine it’s easy to bring this level of understanding to life when a diagnosis is first presented but I can feel what an incredible support it is. Your story is incredible Eva-Maria. You are blazing a trail with the level of responsibility you are willing to go to. Our way of being is the very best medicine we can take.

     1. Yes, Lucy, to take full responsibility for addressing the root cause of cancer is something very beautiful and inspiring. It feels like an opportunity to re-write your future, by living connected to truth in the here and now.

     2. I love this part too Lucy. It shows that we have the power and the freedom to change things and not just accept that there is nothing we can do. This awareness changes everything, and hands the responsibility back to us.

     3. I agree Lucy. By Eva Maria sharing her experience of cancer, she is indeed “blazing a trail”, and opening our eyes wide to the fact that our health is simply a reflection of how we choose to live our lives. What an awesome article and one that very much needs to be made accessible to anyone who is going through or knows someone with this, or any other life threatening disease.

395. Your story and your healing is truly profound and an absolute blessing for anyone, with or without cancer. It was truly beautiful to read the all-encompassing love and support you were offered and the deep understanding and connection that developed from this…. a glimpse into the true healing of the future and it’s power, lived now.

396. Thank you Eva Maria, what a true gift to all us. It is the ultimate mark of true healing when one can say “I came to the point where I was able to accept everything; even the possibility of dying.” So often we are at a loss as to how to deal with cancer, many choosing to fight it, some choosing to resign themselves to it. Learning to surrender is quite different, taking the time to feel how our bodies are in fact sweeping up all the disregard and damage and expelling it from the body and appreciating how we have created it through our choices, actions, thoughts and behaviours. Not an easy journey by any means but as you have claimed, an immensely healing and expansive one that has shown you that you are worth cherishing and caring for. There is much to thank Serge Benhayon and his family for, his steady and un-wavering support and healing that brings such revelation and awareness to the whole arena of disease and why it afflicts us. A true friend in need and amazing teacher who supports so many people to regain true power of their health and well-being once more with staggering results and you are a truly uplifting example of what can be achieved when one has the courage to face the truth.

     1. This is a gorgeous testimonial Rowena and so true. The courage that Eva-Maria has had to not waiver from seeing the ugliness of the disregard she was in and to come out the other end more full of love, gentleness, regard, wisdom, power, grace and strength is simply awesome to behold. What she is now offering the world is a living embodiment of the teachings of Serge Benhayon that is claimed as her own, showing that this is for all and belongs to us all. She is leading the way in showing how we can truly look at disease and the bigger picture at play.

397. It is quite revelatory using the words Cancer and Congratulations in the one sentence and it is done with the deepest respect and understanding of the nature of true healing that is available if we choose it. Our bodes are very eager to support us to return to a harmonious state, a natural quality within us. Listening to them is key.

398. What Eva-Maria has introduced here in terms of regarding illness as an opportunity to deeply heal is fantastic and very much needed for the current levels of cancer rates affecting every country.

     1. Absolutely Shami. If society approached illness and disease with this perspective, we’d instantly realise that a large part of the cure lies in how we care for ourselves, and that we can not solely rely on medication.

399. This blog by Eva-Maria has made me stop and really look at how I am living, the ways that I override my body’s signals and push on through, as if the consequences will never come.

     1. We can very often do this Shami – push on through despite what our body tells us. It always does have consequences – whether visible or felt at the time or not.

     2. I agree Shami, ‘This blog by Eva-Maria has made me stop and really look at how I am living, the ways that I override my body’s signals and push on through, as if the consequences will never come.’ I can feel how arrogant i used to be thinking that I could abuse my body and get away with it, I have learnt recently that even though I eat well and go to bed early, that it is still really important to nurture myself and not push through with work and other things, that for me I need to truly listen to my body, not my head if I want to be well and vital and that it is important for me to sometimes say no to something if I feel I need to rest.

400. Having been brought up at the time that the ‘c’ word was never mentioned directly and if there was any reference it was always in hushed tones. My mother died when I was sixteen and it was like some mystery going on around me with elusive clues to the truth. From that experience it is so refreshing to have cancer openly discussed and your article, Eva-Maria is a true breath of fresh air.

     1. Yes Jonathan, I find it refreshing too that articles about cancer written by people like Eva-Maria are opening up the discussion and sweeping away the mystery that has sometimes shrouded the subject.

        1. I agree – this is a very valuable article, and not just for cancer – any illness requires this level of understanding.

        2. I agree Debra, I feel cancer is seen as something we cannot talk about and honestly and openly discuss. A member of my family was diagnosed with a form of cancer last year and it is not talked about at all! Like it is not there. What Eva-Maria brings here is deeply healing because she shares her initial reaction, but also her journey of healing even to the point of if the cancer didn’t go she knew it was healing. This is a great understanding and something that in society we do not currently embrace.

     2. I remember this time well too Jonathon. It was bewildering when someone died, not to be told, and instead live with hushed tones and silences. In conversations with people and families now in their eighties, I’ve found how prevalent this was. This generation now openly admits that friends and relatives died of cancer- and the numbers are staggering. Today, though we openly share stories of living with and recovering from cancer, we’re still a long way from accepting that the cause of cancer may be related to the way we live and lifestyles choices.

401. Definitely Doug this whole blog is a game changer.

402. That is true Brendan I feel a real key is making these changes irrespective of your health and what is deeply felt is when Eva Maria accepted that if she were to die that would be part of the process and the outcome wasn’t to get better but to truly heal.

403. It is refreshing and real to feel the ease in how you share the different ways you felt throughout the process especially on hearing the news and then how you were able to embrace the cancer as a blessing and great opportunity to heal. You are an amazing reflection of anything being possible when we are open to the support and all that is around us, thank you.

404. It was beautiful to read how you allowed others into your life to truly support you. This is a deep healing in itself. I have come to appreciate the support is always there when we ask and I have also been on the receiving end of the absolute support offered by Serge Behayon and friends. Truth empowers us to return to our true expression. Thank you for sharing yours Ava Maria, it will no doubt support so many.

     1. Yes Victoria I agree. We are not here to do it alone and getting true support is important and such a loving and responsible way to live.

        1. The other beautiful thing that illness allows for Victoria is the loving support and connection we build with our amazing bodies and ourselves. Illness brings in many cases absolute appreciation and the experience of surrendering – a blessing and gift. Thanks Eva-Maria for sharing.

        2. yes ch1956, that is the first true support, the loving connection we build with our own bodies, for without our own support we cannot appreciate or truly accept the support from another. Illness was an opportunity for me to honour my body at a much deeper level than ever before.

        3. And doing it alone, is part of the ill energy that contributes to the illnesses … we are here to support one another, and sometimes we have to learn to ask for help…that alone is a huge healing, to allow people to support us. And this comes from feeling worthy of this love and support.

        4. So true Sandra. Asking for help can often be a healing within itself. 🙂

     2. I agree Victoria. Allowing others in to support us can be really difficult for some. I’m much better at it now, but I used to hold on to the belief that I had to do everything by myself, mainly to prove that I was capable of ‘independence’. But it’s a lonely place to be when you shut the world out.

     3. I have had two diagnoses of skin cancer at age 21 and 29, on the second occasion I had the support of Serge Benhayon and all that I had learnt throughout my studies with Universal Medicine. In the end I had two very different experiences as one was rife with fear and the unknown whilst the other I felt completely in control of my choices and what it was that I was willing to learn further and change within my own life. I felt the grace of having cancer as it provided me with the space to receive the support and truly look at how I was living.. and it continues to do so.

        1. It is indeed a blessing to have a true education of how energy works in the body and that illness is clearing the disharmonious energy. With this awareness, cancer can be seen as a grace, as it supports our return to our natural harmony. Universal Medicine offers true education and this is empowering as you say Cherise, as our choices completely change our experience.

405. I also feel from reading your blog that many of us are quite unaware that how we live is really disregarding to our bodies as it is so normalised to drink, take drugs, party hard and that’s for those who are going on to higher education, our ‘intelligent’ folk – it makes no sense and then parallel to this we have rising cancer and disease rates – it all makes sense when we look at them together, we are not getting away with it.

     1. I think for me I always knew what I was doing was very disregarding to my body. It was my arrogance that made me think I would get away with it.

406. Congratulations is not something you read when someone has cancer Eva Maria – this is an amazing sharing of what your experience has been. Many won’t want to hear what you have shared but there will be those like myself who are relieved to hear something that makes sense. I think we all deep down know that disease is not just down to bad luck, but a way to show us that how we live is out of harmony with what we are able to live if we choose to do so.

407. I am inspired by your message of illness and disease being a blessing and an opportunity to heal past choices, rather than an inconvenience and something to fear or fight. How empowering, and as you share, truly healing. Thank you Eva-Maria.

     1. Hello Carmin and this certainly is a shift for how we look at illness and disease in this day and age. It certainly adds another dimension that is well worth looking into from the way that Eva-Maria shares. It makes you wonder at this point how life would be if we all looked at things consistently in this way, what is possible. With respect it’s certainly a more responsible way to be in the world.

408. It is hugely significant to begin to understand that illness occurs to bring us back to ourselves and that in that sense it is a blessing. When taken this way, as Eva-Maria shared, we open up to an enormous amount of support, which can include people tuned in to love and to access the love itself within us and the immense healing it can bring.

     1. Yes Simon – a true blessing for all.

409. Deeply inspiring blog on so many levels Eva Maria, your surrendering to healing the root of the issue and the acceptance of the process is absolute.
     This article offers great support for those facing cancer and confirms it can a very empowering time. Thank you.

410. To understand that healing is not just recovering the body from an illness back to function but a clearing of an ill momentum (loveless energy, behaviours, thoughts…) we have created ourselves. Sometimes we can heal the underlying root cause but not cure the body in full, that would still be a true success. To cure the body without healing the root cause actually means that I have wasted an opportunity.

411. Thank you Eva-Maria for sharing your amazing healing story. This is an incredible reminder that we have the ability to heal by listening to our body and understand the energetic reason behind illness and diseases. How we treat our body will affect the condition and health, not just physically but energetically. It was so incredible the loving support you received from Serge Benhayon, his family and the Universal Medicine students, love and care is always present for anyone who is willing to embrace it. What you’ve shared deeply confirms this. Your blog will inspire others and to also know that the loving support is always available.

412. “No matter which illness or disease we have, we can choose to accept it, to look at what our body shows us and to clear and heal deeply. It is absolutely amazing to have such a chance.” Eva Maria, thank you for sharing what has been an incredible experience for you. I love what you have shared above, this is what true healing is all about. How wonderful that you had the Benhayon family to help you in this amazing journey, showing you how to approach true healing. When we understand what true healing is, and not go into ‘fighting’ a disease, but get down to the root causes of why you have been given the dreaded cancer in your body, understand and accept the message you have been given by the body, then you can begin to address the changes that are needed in your behaviour. From that, the deep healing can take place. It is such a wonderful knowing that you have received from this experience for you, I appreciate that you have shared it so widely and openly, so important for humanity to come to accept this. And I have seen the amazing transformation in you, now a truly beautiful woman.

413. Beautifully said Doug! Take away the fear and misery around cancer and what is left? A great clearing and a true way forward to bring the divinity of the Soul to earth.

414. Eva Maria, this is incredible on so many levels. The thing that struck me the most was your change in attitude and acceptance of the reasons for your illness, and acceptance of the healing from both the medical system and esoteric medicine. I was astounded to read that by changing your attitude toward the medication (from hating it to accepting it) you had much less side effects, this is extremely significant and profound.

415. Your matter of fact way of sharing your journey is very powerful. I’m not sure I have ever heard anyone speak so clearly (without emotion) about their cancer. When we express from emotion or from hurt, very little comes of it but more of the same. What you have shared is so powerful and so very healing. Thank you, Eva-Maria.

     1. Yes, I agree Nikki. Eva-Maria’s blog is therefore inspiring and deeply healing for anyone who reads it.

416. I agree Jane that this article by Eva-Maria needs to get out into the world – it is totally inspirational. Letting medication be supportive instead of dreading it – a lesson for so many of us who have had reactions to medication in the past.

417. Hello Jane and I agree so lets take it out there together. For things like this to become ‘main stream’ we need to go ‘main stream’, in other words let’s not sit back and wait for the world to come to writings like this but take such profound and deep healings of serious diseases to them in the way we are and live. Eva-Maria is a shining light in her industry, town etc and some what a living expert on many things including cancer. I agree also and loved that line, “Serge then also helped me to understand that it is important that I let my medication in as a support, instead of having the injections and hating them at the same time.”

418. Hello Eva-Maria and thank you for sharing this story, your story and life with us. You have said and given us a lot in this summarisation of your life so far. I love and agree what you have said about ‘listening to your body’ and enjoyed how you unlocked going from fear/anxiety to settled and still. Universal Medicine, Serge Benhayon and others have been a huge support to you and many others in a variety of situations. The self responsibility you have led with here is very clear and inspiring for all of us, no matter what is going on. Thank you again Eva-Maria and I really love your name.

419. Your powerful, honest sharing of your journey with cancer Eva Maria offers others a chance to reflect and make different choices in how they can really help themselves, possibly changing the negative pathway of giving up “what will be will be” attitude. To inspire and look/feel deeper into how they have been living life (those past ill choices) as it is never too late to make those self loving changes. Medication plays an important role in the healing process and learning to not be resistant and more accepting as you were the results speak for themselves. This sharing will be such an amazing support to so many – thank you Eva Maria.

420. Thank you Eva Maria, a very powerful and inspiring sharing.
     ‘This True Healing is possible for each and every one of us.
     No matter which illness or disease we have, we can choose to accept it, to look at what our body shows us and to clear and heal deeply. It is absolutely amazing to have such a chance.’

421. It stands to reason doesn’t it that if we resist what we are taking it cannot work to its full efficiency, yet if we fully embrace it, it can work its magic without impediment. I see the effects of both in my field of nursing, and as you say Jane, it deserves a whole article in itself, if not a book.

422. Thank you Eva-Maria, this is an amazing account of what Universal Medicine is offering to us. It is so much more than just a solution to a health problem or a fix up. As your sharing shows, Serge Benhayon offers a deep wisdom of why an illness is occurring in exactly the way it does and this is not communicated as knowledge but a deep understanding is given and from that place we are able to make totally different choices.

423. It is wonderful to read of your transformation, Eva Maria. Through your attitude towards your medication, the surgery, asking for help and learning to accept it, it is truly an amazing testament to who you are and the support that you have chosen to have around you.

424. It is indeed a completely different way to look at cancer from the way it is usually experienced and understood. But it makes sense, and you have been through it, and you have cleared it. Anyone with cancer (or even without cancer) should listen to you.

     1. I agree Rebecca. From reading this blog, it made me realise our understanding of why we get illness and disease is currently limited and it seems to be only based on the physicality of things and not much else. So, if we only choose to half understand what is actually going on, then we are only able to half heal or treat the illness or disease. This blog confirms how important it is to fully understand the root cause of our illness and disease and to allow truly healing to begin.

425. Incredibly powerful Eva-Maria – your title is already blowing me away. Thanks to Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine, I too have experienced the absolute healing a serious illness can be when we are willing to see that there is always
     an energetic reason behind every situation we find ourselves in – i.e. the way we choose to live our daily lives will always affect our health and wellbeing.

426. i love this point too Jane – that how we choose to see the medication needed can affect the side effects and how we feel about the whole thing. My feeling is that quite often we resent having to take medication and in that resentment we are fighting both the medication and our bodies – so it is no wonder that side effects are aggravated.

427. Thank you Eva-Maria. This blog is full of candour without a smidgen of emotion whilst being full of appreciation. What you share here is ground breaking for everyone who is living with illness and disease and for those who are not! The options before us are to get swept up in overwhelm and everything that comes with it, or to understand and appreciate that through this illness there is something to learn about how we have been living and to appreciate that the illness is actually serving us. Demonstrating through lived experience what living with cancer can be like as opposed to what it is normally like is truly remarkable and if I am honest, miraculous. Thank you once again for sharing your experience.

428. Dear Brendan,
     I feel deeply that I want to connect and be with people, yet for my whole life, when with people, it is not long and all I want to do is get away from them. I am becoming aware of the reality that I let go of staying fully present in my body when in the company of others and this is giving me a whole new perspective on responsibility. I have a responsibility to be fully me, as only when I choose this, do I feel true joy in being in the company of others.

     1. Leigh I have also felt like an observer in the outer circle of life, waiting for a few crumbs to come my way but generally I found the whole social thing boring but persisted because that’s what I was suppose to aspire to. That has changed completely as I have committed to deepening the loving relationship with myself first realising people are only responding to what I put out and was willing to accept as me. I also realise now I was not bringing me with honesty, responsibility and willingness to connect and share the love I bring and boy has that changed the game. I now walk in my power and I feel the connection with others as I know we are all on this path of return and in truth we are all a work in progress, so always an opportunity to share and reflect with no holding back

429. Eva-Maria, your experience is so powerful and reveals so much about the great capacity we all have to heal when we let love in. I could so relate to what you shared about not seeking support or help when you have needed it, seeing that you had to do it on your own, yet when you do allow support in it actually allows you to feel where you are truly at and from here you can heal. I see this so clearly from what you have shared. When we battle on and harden ourselves by thinking we must do things on our own, we do not allow love in or out and allow others to truly see and feel our fragility. Seeking support is powerful and never a weakness, it allows others the opportunity to truly connect to you.

430. Dear Eva-Maria,
     Thank you for sharing your experience with cancer with us. I really love how you have explained that the high emotions that trigger on a diagnosis of cancer keeps us away from truly dealing with the situation in which we have found ourselves. This, I know from experience goes for any situation we have in our lives. I also love that through your writing you have tenderly shown that to deal with the situation at hand, we have to look at our life style up to the place we find ourselves, and to bring true healing, adjust any ways that we have been living that don’t support our bodies. A time of deep stop and consideration, of truth and honesty. Not in any way compared to others, but fully in relation to our own bodies. How we live in it matters.

431. What a powerful blog, Eva-Maria, an absolute reflection of the powerhouse you are. We are light first and then physical human beings and when we attack our light our body gets affected, and when we want to heal the body we have to start where we left our divine origins behind and lived reduced to the physical existence. Thank you for reminding us of our grandness!

     1. Yes Rachel Eva-Maria has beautifully reminded us of the truth that when we connect back to our light and live who we truly are in the world, anything is possible.

     2. That part struck me too – how we can attack our own light. It seems absolutely crazy when I even write it, yet I know how commonplace it is.

     3. Beautifully said Rachel and this is an awesome reminder indeed of our divine light and its power when we choose to re-connect to it.

432. I was really struck by how becoming more open to the medication you were on and less resistant, limited the side effects. It is remarkable to consider what is happening energetically and how much our perspective shapes the outcomes of every action we are in. You story Eva-Maria is of great service to anyone experiencing any form of ill health and also an opportunity for us all to embrace life with as much commitment and love as we can.

433. Stunning Eva-Maria, this story of yours is truly inspirational — big wow to your commitment, dedication and to love you have now claimed. We’ve been accustomed and taught by the world of today that cancer and illness is something to be greatly feared and dreaded and huge disempowerment and suffering comes as result. What you share here is a completely different way to embrace life and the healing that comes in whatever form, including illness. Absolutely amazing and of course the true way to be that you’re now letting the world see.

     1. I can feel the power of Eva-Maria’s commitment, dedication and love too – pretty wow! Incredibly remarkable given how so few of us really want to address to the core our issues, but would rather hang on to our hurts and emotions. What is being shared here is ground breaking and cuts through everything we have taken on about illness, disease and death. Showing the world so strikingly and with such powerful grace that there is a different way to be is quite frankly blowing me away. Wow again!

434. Eva-Maria it has been my experience too to come to a point of understanding that the cancer that I had was a clearing for my body and a result of ill choices that I had made in the past. Knowing this brings a whole different level of understanding to a diagnosis of cancer.

     1. I agree Donna, it offers an understanding that cancer or no other illness is something that just ‘happens to us’. It offers an opportunity to see that perhaps it would serve us well to make different choices in our day to day living.

435. Eva-Maria thank you for sharing your story. What you reveal “True healing is much deeper, much more profound…” is something I have experienced for myself and seen in many others. True vitality and joy comes from embracing all that is there to be seen, not just tiny parts of the piece that is so often what we choose to see when we are ill. What you have shared is testament to your own openness and willingness to look at the bigger picture.

436. Thankyou for your inspiring blog, Eva-Maria. So many people ‘fight’ and ‘battle’ cancer. You have shown that there is another way. Your total acceptance – to the point of knowing that even if you were to die – you would have cleared your body of the energy of cancer – is profound. “I feel better now than I have ever felt before in and with my body. This huge clearing and healing has been one of the most amazing experiences in my life.” Beautiful. Go Eva-Maria.

437. Eva-Maria, your blog would be so supportive to people who have been diagnosed with cancer or other serious illnesses. What’s really interesting is how your reaction to the medication lessened when you accepted it, and it sounds like you surrendered to the process and the healing.

438. An amazing example of our body’s intelligence to discard what is not of its natural harmonious quality and its responsiveness to embracing the love we are.

     1. Hello Marcia and I agree, there is a healthy dose of responsibility in this as well. Responsibility for what is going on first, the treatment, the medication, the goings on around you, pretty much everything. It’s great to know that when we take this level of care for ourselves what can be done and how it can support us. It’s not about not getting cancer or a disease but being responsible for every step we take or we can wait for something to come to you and then choose, our choice.

439. It is awesome to read that your change of attitude towards your immunity injections reduced your side affects. . When I fully embrace something (even something as simple as a single step) everything begins to flow and become so much easier. Serge Benhayon supported me to connect to this also. I appreciate that the true healing ‘treatment’ for cancer and absolutely every other ill is the same.

     1. This is indeed a game changer Leonne – ‘It is awesome to read that your change of attitude towards your immunity injections reduced your side affects.’
        A very clear confirmation of energy and how our body responds to our thoughts and feelings. We are in the drivers seat and it takes responsibility to steer in loving directions. So often as a society we claim to not be in control and fate just deals what it wants to deal. But everything that goes on with our bodies is a direct reflection of how we are driving it.

440. This is a revolutionary, evolutionary article Eva-Maria. Thank you for sharing your profound and ground breaking journey. I have passed this on to those I know who have had cancer as your story offers such clarity, wisdom, understanding and enormous support.

441. Firstly I loved the title of your blog, Eva-Maria, it’s a show stopper and exactly that – stops you in your tracks. Then the honesty of your expression and the extreme anxiety you went through before you got the support you needed and started to work with your healing process. How you turned it around to go from anxiety to an acceptance of the possibility of death is a testimony to your openness to truth, dedication to your own healing and also the profound support offered by the Benhayons, which is life-changing if fully received.

     1. Yes, the title is fantastic. That alone changes the general perception on cancer.

442. Thank you Eva-Maria for sharing your amazing story and putting such a refreshing light on how to deal with, and embrace, the process that cancer can offer a person. Your blog also shows us that cancer isn’t the enemy as it is perceived to be by many, it is a result of the choices we have made in how we live our lives.

443. “No matter which illness or disease we have, we can choose to accept it, to look at what our body shows us and to clear and heal deeply. It is absolutely amazing to have such a chance.” This is a really important point. We don’t have to get cancer to go through this beautiful unfolding journey that you have been on Eva-Maria. With any kind of problem in the body, from a headache to serious disease, there is an opportunity to listen to it and evolve from it.

     1. Yes Eleanor , very empowering, as we become the masters of our own journey.

        1. Yes, we become the masters of our life rather than be tossed around like a cigarette butt on the waves of some hazy and incomprehensible so-called destiny.

444. This blog really made me look at areas of my life that I am still disregarding in. It is the start of a new yearly cycle today, and I am inspired to live life with a new level of self love and love for others due to reading your words, Eva-Maria.

     1. Hello Kevin and it’s great what pieces of writing like this offer us. I feel inspired in the same way and to be specific, I’m inspired to be out in the world more and more. What Eva-Maria has said to us is life changing and many of ‘us’ have had similar experiences. Some to this extent and others in different ways, what I see is ‘us’ not waiting for something to come to us but to go to it. Go out in the world and share ourselves, our lives, our stories, our livingness with everyone. I’m not saying this in a ‘tell’ everything preach type way but I can see the way Eva-Maria is living and this is very very different to the ‘norm’. I see many others living this way but at times it can be insular. Take this living, walking and talking responsibility into the world, the everyday world. Let people see it, feel it, trust it and then it will be theirs at some point. The more consistency that is shown in everyday the more people will see it, thanks Kevin.

        1. “The more consistency that is shown in everyday the more people will see it…” and build trust to what they can see and feel because it is real and reliable. Actually everyone is looking for something or someone that is true and loving but only when we see it being lived and solid we overcome our mistrust, hurts and strategies of protection that otherwise keep us imprisoned in so much less than who we naturally are and can live.

        2. Hello Alex and that is what a ‘livingness’ or the ‘livingness’ offers people at times without even words.

     2. That is what is so powerful about the written word it can inspire us to change when we can feel the person writing it is living what they share and that is what I can feel from Eva-Maria is everything you have written you have lived and with that you can feel the love and sweetness you now live with yourself and others.

445. Eva-Maria, what an amazing sharing, which if understood fully will help so many people. You are living proof of the everyday miracle healing that so many have experienced from the Livingness of Universal Medicine and all its practitioners. No matter what the disease, there is always an energetic reason behind it, so to fully recover the root cause needs to be established and addressed and not left solely up to conventional medicine, which to date does not hold all the answers but is still doing an amazing job.

446. Wouldn’t it be amazing when one day the energetic understanding of cancer will be taught along side western medicine’s view of cancer. And then together they can bring about a truer and more global healing of the body and the soul.

     1. It will indeed serve humanity immensely to have the understanding of both conventional medicine and Esoteric Medicine side by side to support everyone. It is very useful to know how the body works, the physical factors that need supporting and the ways conventional medicine can help, and it is very supportive to have the empowering understanding provided by Esoteric Medicine about illness and disease that supports an acceptance, appreciation, as well as personal responsibility in our healing process.

447. Eva-Maria, I love what you said about how your attitudes towards the medication you took to support you after the surgery, had an effect on the side-effects that they gave you. When you let the support of the medication in without any judgement, the side-effects became much better. What a great lesson to remember, thank you!

     1. Hello Eleanor and I agree, that part stood out for me too. The way you are with something changes the way it is with you, very cool. We aren’t victims of the world and when we aren’t so much can change. We can’t have a ‘view’ on that change though, in other words we can’t control it as it may look different to what we may want. In this situation though I loved how Eva-Maria was with the medication and how it changed. Some of us fight against somethings, only to find it can make it worse. I’m not saying to just give yourself over either but take a responsible stand as Eva-Maria has done and described so beautifully.

        1. Eleanor and Raymond, yes this stood out for me too. It’s profound how powerful we are, how being open to what’s being presented, not letting hopes, control, attitudes get in the way but allow the magic to unfold.

     2. Accepting one´s illness and taking responsibility for one´s contribution to it allows us to also fully accept and let in the means of healing.

        1. True Alex, and when we are ready to take responsibility for our own contribution are we, most likely, also ready to make different choices in our day to day living.

        2. If we are not making different choices we are not yet fully willing to take responsibility. As obvious as that might be, it nevertheless is a necessary and honest reflection to make us aware that we often only ‘think’ we would have embraced responsibility. Responsibility is only in living it, not in knowing it – it simply leaves no space for comfort, therefore it is so challenging and exposing.

        3. I love this thread Alex and Eva, how responsibility means to support ourselves in what we have felt and that change is a natural given when this is applied with honesty and love.

        4. Yes, it seems to be a universal formula we cannot escape but surrender to, i.e. to embrace in full: responsibility = self-empowerment.

448. “All of those choices had been energetically harming for my body and cancer was my body’s way of getting rid of them.” This is such an important teaching that hopefully will one day be taught along side western medicine’s view of cancer. Having the energetic understanding of cancer together with the great things that western medicine can offer in terms of getting rid of the cancer, can bring about a more global healing to the person.

449. There is an ideal that one must fight against cancer when in actual fact that drive probably makes it worse. The body doesn’t want to fight against anything, the fight is against the feelings of disregard that are coming up that produced the cancer or health problem in the first place.

     1. Fighting against what we are feeling, is what brings us to a place like a diagnosis of cancer, so to then fight cancer is the ultimate disregard of our true inner feelings. I know for myself that I felt for a long time I had to fight for everything. This brings the reality of what many live with each day into a deeper understanding. With understanding the words needed to support others to let go of the fight are there for us to speak.

     2. So true Mathew, there is no point in fighting the cancer and not addressing the self-abuse and disregard that has been in our lives. Our attitude to ourselves our lives, and our bodies is most important. The holistic approach that includes all of this and is a greatly assists conventional medicine in true and lasting healing.

     3. I always wondered about declaring cancer to be the enemy that needs to be fought against. It shows the utter disconnection from one´s body and the lack of understanding what the body is communicating. Cancer is not an intruder from the outside but part of one´s creation, i.e. choices and lifestyle and as soon as we are willing to honestly reflect them we can understand how cancer is simply the consequence of my own doing. And thus responsibility can be taken and healing begin.

     4. Well said Mathew we are only fighting the messenger!

450. This is so inspiring Eva-Maria. Your story is very real and it must have been a nightmare for you to handle what was happening before being touched by the presentations of the Ancient Wisdom through Serge Benhayon. What an amazing support and healing offered from Serge, and Natalie and the students of Universal Medicine – and amazing that you listened and were open and willing to go there. Wow!

     1. I agree, Lyndy, this is such an inspiring story from Eva-Maria. It was amazing that she met such an incredible family, the Benhayons, especially Serge and Natalie Benhayon. The support that Eva-Maria received from these wonderful people helped her understand why she had the illness, what she needed to face, and how to come to really connect to her body, and to come to truly love herself deeply, taking responsibility for herself. The fact that Eva-Maria was willing to accept and act on this had such a wonderful outcome for her. This was a beautiful journey to read about.

451. This is totally incredible Eva-Maria, wow. Everything about your cancer experience is totally different to what I’d normally imagine. Firstly after diagnosis you did not give up on yourself – you deepened your understanding of why your body needed the clearing and didn’t fight the illness. You also sought support from friends without feeling ashamed or guilty for asking for help, which is incredible and very unusual. You then continued to accept your journey with cancer, taking it step by step, not overwhelming yourself, but also considering possibilities of the future and knowing that what will happen, will happen. I am blown away, and totally inspired by this. Thank you for sharing.

     1. I agree with you Susie, this is a really inspiring read of Eva-Maria’s journey with cancer. Yes, fear at the start, but no fighting, yet no giving up. Such a different journey to the normal, developing understanding and acceptance as to why she had the illness, and taking steps to change her behaviour and treatment of her body, developing deep love and understanding of why she had been behaving as she did in the past. And the help that Eva-Maria received from her true friends was so amazing. I too am totally inspired by reading this.

452. Eva-Maria this is a beautiful and very powerful blog written from your heart with a deep understanding and embracing of your cancer. This in itself is rare and unusual, quite often people either try to fight their illness or give up or succumb and allow it to take over their life. Through the support of Serge Benhayon you have come to understand the true meaning of cancer and that it is a true blessing that has helped heal much of your past. I say congratulations to you too, for embracing your cancer and the willingness to change your life and in so doing offering your body a true healing, and for writing this blog showing us all that we don’t need to live with fear when we are diagnosed with life threatening illnesses.

453. Thank you Eva-Maria! Even I am studying Universal Medicine for years now, I found it quite a challenge to not be anxious about cancer or other strong diseases. What I understand is that this is the part of me who/which does not like to take the responsibility about the root cause of an illness…very very good article/topic to ponder on.

     1. The words responsibility and anxiety seem to have a strong link. Once a deep level of responsibility is taken, it seems to me that the anxiety goes. I do not know this in relation to cancer but I do know this with other things in my life.

        1. I feel that makes sense to me nikkimckee, that there is a strong link between responsibility and anxiety. Responsibility is such an important word for us all, when we learn to take true responsibility for ourselves, then we can really transform our lives. We need to learn to really take care of ourselves, get to know ourselves deeply and intimately, and learn to listen to the messages our bodies are giving us. When we come to understand from this level, then it makes real sense that any anxiety will go. We are so deeply knowing of ourselves that we know we can deal with anything that may come up, there is no place for anxiety.

        2. The anxiety also comes when I don’t take responsibility for not just the choices I have made but for who I am. Once I know something about myself and I avoid it, I notice the anxiety.

        3. Nikki I agree – I have a great anxiety in areas I know I am being irresponsbile. Once I take full responsbility for these areas and for how I live as a whole the anxiety goes. This isn’t to say I’m immune from becoming ill (actually there are many unloving, unheathly choices that my body may well come to clear) and that’s why the anxiety clears. No, it’s that I reconnect with myself and the all when I am being responsbile so anxiety has no place, where acceptance and love belong. I can feel how being irresponsible creates disharmony and our natural way is to be harmonious.

        4. That’s true for me nikkimckee not with cancer but have experienced it in so many areas now, the moment I commit in full and accept the responsibility of the commitment I feel a surety in my body and know I will not doubt or go into anxiety. It’s like being held and supported by my own commitment which allows my full power to be present.

        5. I totally agree Nikki.

454. Thank you for sharing Eva-Maria and writing so openly and honestly about cancer. I say this because growing up in the sixties cancer was not to be mentioned in case you brought bad luck on to yourself, and then five members of my family died due to cancer. What this tells me it is not a subject to be avoided, but one that needs to be discussed openly along with our daily lifestyle choices and the destructive thoughts we have about ourselves.

     1. Thanks Julie, it goes to show how ingrained belief systems around illness, and in particular the big C (cancer) can be. The fear people carry around is deeply harmful to their bodies.

        1. I can understand that it brings great anxiety and fear, I haven’t had cancer but how it is referred to like you say Eva the big C, like we can’t even say the name encase we catch it or something! It really is in our psyche as something that is bad luck, that can just happen, it is so far from taking responsibility lovingly without judgement and get a bit real about what is actually going on with our bodies. It is interesting to me that the World Health Organisation shares that over 70% cancers are lifestyle related and preventable, yet we and our press just doesn’t want to go there.

     2. Absolutely Julie , bringing the subject of cancer, and the pathway it is possible to take with illness and disease into the light of day is hugely important for everyone.

        1. It is in fact a must that we talk about what is really going on with disease, cancer being one we all know people who have died from or are currently ‘battling’. We have spent 50 years with our head in the sand and now we are being forced to talk about what is going on as 1 in 2 getting it is too close to home for most of us. Best we find out before it is 1 in 1.

        2. I agree Jenny and Vanessa – it is truly time we start talking about what is really going on.

        3. It is so needed – so many hunker down in there ‘battle’ against this disease or that – what this represents is a turning point – the big spotlight on truly healing cancer.

     3. Absolutely, Julie, we need to be very open in our discussions around cancer, something that is not talked about is something to fear. And we need to take a completely different approach to discussing cancer, putting forward the possibilities of our daily lifestyle choices contributing to the body showing us messages that we should be listening to and taking seriously, before the really serious illnesses need to appear.

        1. Yes Beverley it is a disease we take very seriously but it would be interesting to take the findings that Vanessa has referred to “that 70% cancer are lifestyle related and preventable” Now that’s something to get seriously on the table for the public’s attention.

455. This is a benchmark in true healing as presented by Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine – true healing starts from the inside out.

     1. So true Lee, what Eva-Maria shares here shows that true healing begins within, about letting our love out and letting the love of others in.

        1. Absolutely Jade – I love this ‘…healing begins within, about letting our love out and letting the love of others in.’

     2. Yes, Lee, “true healing starts from the inside out” and without understanding the root cause of an illness and without willingness to take responsibility for it there can’t be true healing.

        1. So true Monika it has to come from us – for us – not for any other person but for us to deeply heal what we have lived and known to be untrue in light of this healing bought to fruition by a body that knows how precious we are, and that we need to be clear to inspire and serve all of humanity.

     3. Yes it is a benchmark indeed Lee Green – well said. Rarely do you read about someones experience with Cancer in such a positive light. Deeply inspiring.

        1. Sarah this is the greatest point – how many stories are there that can be read with this much love, tenderness, precious reverence for self and for the world – the healing is immense. And yet we are so heavily invested in getting the world ‘right’ and ‘fixed’ with numerous charities and institutions literally getting it very wrong about what this is all about.
           No one can even see the jewel that people and articles like these represent…Time for a change – this article states it clearly – Love is the Way, no two ways about it.

456. Thank you, Eva-Maria. Your story teaches us all a great deal about what truly heals. I can feel God’s relentless love for you and everyone in not allowing us to continue our ill momentums, and when we come to terms with this, as you have, the power of acceptance is transformational. What an inspiration you are!

457. “Serge then also helped me to understand that it is important that I let my medication in as a support”. Universal Medicine Therapies are complementary to western medicine and it’s very powerful when we use both as needed. It’s interesting that when Eva-Maria stopped resisting the injections, that they did not have such a bad effect on her. It’s true that when we accept things as they are they do not seem so bad. “I came to the point where I was able to accept everything; even the possibility of dying.” It is beautiful to witness such surrender and no wonder the hospital staff loved to be with her.

458. Thank you Eva-Maria for such honesty and for sharing your personal experience with cancer.
     What an amazing transformation you have undergone, from being constantly in fear and overwhelm, to then surrendering, accepting and trusting the process with the help of Serge and Natalie Benhayon and other esoteric practitioners. Miracles do happen, when we stop and truly listen to what our body is desperately trying to communicate to us.

459. Eva Maria, thank you for sharing your experiences, this blog will be a great support for others being diagnosed with cancer. It’s normal to feel worry and anxiety in such a situation but by understanding the true purpose of such a disease you were eventually able to let go of the emotion and just take the necessary action. How great it is that you opened up to receiving support and allowed yourself to be taken care of and realized that you are worth taking care of.

460. Eva you have shared the multiple blessings of working with your cancer with such acceptance and grace. There appears to be so many layers of understanding of how the body works, the purpose of illness and how by listening to our bodies and responding to its constant communication true healing can occur.

     1. I agree Jenny, the way you share Eva-Maria is full of your authority, wisdom and absolute joy. No one can dispute the truth of what you are sharing because it is what you have lived and know to be true from the experiences shared from your body. Living science in its totality.

461. What a truly amazing story you have so openly shared with us Eva-Maria and thank you for doing so. You have shown us that it is possible to move from that place of fear that anyone diagnosed with cancer would find themselves being pulled into, to a place where you were able to access a deep inner strength and with it an understanding of the cancer and what was behind its appearance in that particular part of your body. Along with your own inner wisdom, the knowledge and tools of conventional medicine, and the loving support from Serge and Natalie Benhayon and others, you have shown us what it is to truly heal. Just imagine if everyone diagnosed with cancer had such a wonderful support team, how different would their experience and their healing be.

462. What an amazing sharing, Eva Maria. This is such an empowering way to look at cancer and will challenge many in their fixed beliefs. The fact that healing is not just about healing the cancer but healing all that we have chosen previously which may have been unloving, makes so much sense and is the only way for the body to have a true healing. I am appreciating you very much right now.

463. Thank you so much Eva-Maria, for sharing your experiences and lived wisdom with the world. You have made it very clear that conventional medicine and esoteric medicine go hand in hand and clear what ever is needed of what we have lived without the love that we are. The root cause of illness and disease. There is so much in your blog so I just pick another one out; I assist a lot of ill people and they all have difficulties to embrace medication as true support, only seeing it as poison for their body, for all those patients you are a great inspiration as you are for all of us.

     1. Until reading your comment Annelies, I didn’t realise how common it is for people to dislike taking their medicine which offers a support for the body, and is a rebalancing of the previous self-disregard which leads to illness. I understand it makes sense but I can see that there is a lot of education possible here to help people accept their medication as the necessary blessing it is. The fact that this positive attitude can lessen the side-effects is groundbreaking.

464. Thank you Eva-Maria for sharing your experiences with having cancer. I have a friend who has recently been diagnosed with cancer and I know your openness will be very supportive as she also faces the anxiety in herself, her family and friends. Reading your blog I felt the medicine that supported you throughout was love. In the loving support of Serge Benhayon, his family and the Universal Medicine students you accepted love and the side effect of accepting love is more love.

465. Although this is a blog about a rather ‘serious’ issue, I can feel your lightness and humour within your words. Beautiful to read..thank you Eva Maria for your honest and provocative expression.

466. These true stories are so important to be shared Eva-Maria and thank you for doing so. I know the panic too when my body showed to me that there was something wrong with it. I truly freaked out and wanted it to go away and if felt like my body was failing me. At the beginning I was only able to look outside of me looking for all the details and my way out of it. Going in this panic mode was a way for me to withhold me from feeling into the issue and what it has to say about my way of living. When I was able to go there and to communicate with my body I could feel that it was because of a certain way of living and that it was just a loving signal of the body to show me that there is another way of living to be explored.

467. As I was reading your article on cancer, all I could think was that I wouldn’t have been able to cope with it. But then it is your very personal evolution and development from a life of disregard back to the amazingness that you so obviously are. Your strength and clarity are super inspiring, thank you for writing your cancer story with such honesty.

     1. I agree Gabriele. Eva-Maria story also shows us that we can make new choices, potentially turning our sleeve around, at any stage. It’s never too late.

468. Thank you, Eva-Maria. I absolutely agree true healing is not about removal of physical manifestation of illness and disease. We could be walking around on Earth, carrying and emanating ill-energy through our words and thoughts and behaviour and everything we do, while appearing to be ‘healthy’. And you are an amazing example of how cancer could be the opportunity for this deep clearing to be brought forward when it is embraced in full with much love for self on a physical level, as well as in a much bigger picture.

469. Eva-Maria what you describe is what I have seen and understand so many people to have gone through, the fear, the anxiety and the fight. Even with a simple cold or headache many of us fight this rather than listen to the body. This is how I grew up wanting my body to do as I wished with, regardless of how I treated it. What I love about what you share is your experience, the steps you went through the ultimately the fact that you came to understand the illness/cancer made sense for you. It feels deeply empowering and very supportive for anyone, with any illness. Thank you.

470. Eva-Maria what struck me the deepest in your beautiful and supportive sharing is when we have a connection with our bodies, there is a support that comes back from our bodies to us. The awareness that illness and dis-sease is a way for our bodies to clear and heal to further support us in living from a more loving way breaks the consciousness that diseases such as cancer is something to fear and it is all negative. The panicking thoughts do not arise so much when we begin to feel the love and connection with ourselves and we get out of our own way for the body to heal. True healing begins with the connection we build with ourselves, and with the support from conventional and esoteric medicine, dis-eases are opportunities for us to come back to deeper acceptance and responsibility of how we live. The appreciation towards such opportuntities deepen our connection further.

471. A diagnosis of cancer can give us another way to approach life if we so choose. I am so inspired by the complete surrender that Eva-Marie embraced, yet also totally valuing herself and appreciating her medicines. I love the learning she undertook of how to let more love into her life as a direct result of her experience with cancer. I love how in the end it wasn’t about her getting cured, it was all about how she learned to live.

472. Acceptance is a big part of acute or chronic conditions. I have a thyroid condition which might never reverse, which will mean the rest of my life on hormone replacement therapy. It took me a while to accept I even had the condition let alone I would need to be on medication permanently. Yet like Eva-Maria, how could it be I thought I could live life in total disregard for myself with no consequences? Truly, we get away with nothing – be it this lifetime or the next, corrections will need to be made.

473. I love the part where you say Eva-Maria that there would be no need to worry about cancer anymore: ‘…I knew deep inside of me that if I am willing to really face these issues and change my life in a way that I truly love and honor my body, come to a stillness within (something I had always avoided) and allow myself to be who I truly am, there would be no reason to be afraid of cancer anymore.’

     Cancer and other acute conditions can really hold us to ransom if we let them. Even after recovery or remission, if we don’t come to terms with the inner conditions that lead to the need for the body to clear in the first place, it makes sense the fear it will return will remain. On some level we will know we haven’t truly completed or understood the process.

474. Asking for support – what a massive learning for so many of us. We hold back so mightily yet we are surrounded by people who are only too willing to openly share their time, skills, wisdom and love.

     1. …and which sort of support I am asking for is essential as well. Will I take the sympathy, the pampering and fighting against OR choose real support, which is to be held in love and taking responsibility?! In fact, one of these is true support to heal/develop and the other is a support to stay where I am or make it worse.

     2. It’s a big one for so many people Victoria. I met a lady recently who had a severe shoulder injury. As I chatted with her and her husband, I asked if she was asking for help and she said she found it very difficult to do so, and so I shared that this could well be the blessing that comes out of the injury…and she agreed.

475. ‘This time I would not panic, I would stay with myself and my body, and I would get all the support I needed.’

     You’re right Eva-Maria – I know from past experience whenever a health issue has arisen so too has the panic. Yes, we will feel a lot as a result of an unwanted diagnosis but we can bring understanding in to temper the enormous amounts of anxiety we can go into, reducing its impact on an already stressed body.

476. ‘I had for years been living in a way that was not very loving, indeed it had been quite abusive and those choices had consequences for my body.’

     Eva-Maria what you have shared here is pivotal if we are, as a mankind, ever going to truly eliminate cancer. All the research in the world will amount to naught if we don’t also take on board that it is our choices – in this lifetime and others – that impacts our bodies, and cancer is but one way our bodies release the ill-effects of these choices.

477. Eva, thank you for sharing this amazing story. It is refreshing to read an account of true healing where your relationship with yourself and thus your life has been so enriched by the learning the experience offered, with no mention of ‘beating’ or ‘defeating’ it. By treating disease and illness as an enemy we disassociate ourselves from the fact that our body is communicating with us and if we work with it, healing will occur, no matter the outcome.

478. “I started to be in my body, instead of just being in my mind, and build up a connection with my body which felt absolutely new and amazing to me, especially that I was more and more able to read what my body was telling me” – this paragraph is the path of love, and back to love – thank goodness you chose Love Eva-Maria, and in this benefit from the steadiness that this allows whatever unfolds….

479. Eva-Maria, what an inspiring and honest post, the turnaround in beliefs, attitudes, outlook given the Cancer diagnosis, is hugely remarkable – Cancer is something not to be feared but embraced, even celebrated because of what needs to be cleared/healed from the body. Only from connection with ourselves is such clarity truly possible, else the mind plays games getting infected by what’s on the www about effects etc. How amazing that you chose the body instead of the former overbearing mind in this case.

480. Eva-Maria, thank you for sharing your story. I can feel the layers of acceptance you went through and now have a deeper understanding of how our bodies are there always willing to show us how we’ve been and that each thing offers us an opportunity to heal. I was struck by your surrender to being in your body and not just your mind – this is something I know and I’m learning more to just be there with my body and feel what it is offering. There is such a truth with our bodies and they offer us a loving stop to show us how we’ve been living and to shine a light on those ways of being that do not support us. Healing is not about getting better per say, it’s about accepting and seeing that if we’ve lived in ways which are unloving our bodies show it. Your sharing has deeply humbled me, as I feel your honesty, dedication and willingness to go there and deal with your hurts.

481. Thank you Eva-Maria for sharing your journey of healing, which brings great understanding to a situation that, as you personally experienced, appears to have no purpose and ‘why me’. However, you bring light where otherwise there is only darkness.

482. An amazing journey of truth and love through connecting to your body listening to it and the determination and understanding to live all the help and support you were offered. This is an amazing support to all cancer patients and to everyone as to how we live our lives and the loving choices we can make but also to Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine along side Conventional Medicine. Eva Maria you are beautiful and it is a great pleasure to share your truly profound healing and journey with love, a daily miracle.

483. Eva, your story of acceptance and healing is incredible. The depth of healing I can feel from your words is huge. I love how you have come to terms with accepting the possibility of death from the cancer and how you saw the cancer as a way to heal all your past choices rather than staying caught in the anxiety and negativity that we can so easily do.

484. Each line of this blog contains a nugget, relating back to the power of choosing to be with ourselves and our body everyday. It is no replacement for conventional medicine, but a huge choice to embrace ourselves and life. Eva-Maria this is simply inspiring.

     1. No replacement for conventional medicine, as you so rightly point out, but a huge support when undergoing treatment and great for the doctors and nurses as well.

        1. Absolutely, a huge support and healing for all.

485. The title alone, makes you STOP!

     1. I agree Shevon, it makes you stop to read the gift our body offers us through illness and disease and the true healing being presented.

486. It is inspiring how you have turned the old paradigm of “being a victim of cancer” on its head here Eva-Maria by accepting and even celebrating the gift of healing that cancer offers by claiming it as the “most amazing experience” of your life. Understanding and appreciating the lesson of illness and disease in this way would assist the body in recovering as it is not also dealing with stress and anxiety. Thank you for your sharing Eva-Maria.

     1. Indeed Simone, it is very inspiring to read Eva-Maria’s story. There is so much more to learn from our bodies, and as you say, sometimes it is complete the opposite of how we were used to look at the illness and disease our bodies are presenting to us. To fully accept and even celebrate the gift of healing that our bodies present to us through a disease, even with the most severe and feared diseases like cancer, is extraordinary but I found, the only way to go as it feels so true to me, the way to truly heal the body from all the false ways of living we have imposed on it.

487. This is marvellous Eva-Maria. I have never heard of anyone or read anything where someone has written about cancer with such joy! and the truly healing impact any disease can have if we let go and allow ourselves to receive support and stop fighting. A great inspiration for all.

     1. True Shevon, Eva-Maria’s article certainly breaks the mould. So often stories of cancer are framed around the “fight” against it. It is so inspiring to read how in this instance cancer has provided the opportunity to learn so much, and let go of so many old ways. The beauty in allowing oneself to be vulnerable and ask for – and allow – support really struck me.

488. There are so many profound statements in your blog Eva-Maria, it could be studied for a whole year at a university degree in medicine.

     1. And Medicine would change forever. This blog removes from doctors the heavy mantle of having to fix – a burden that is not helping medicine evolve into true healing…

        1. So true Rachel – what an amazing grounding for the world.

        2. Stunning observation Rachel, and Lee. The ‘fixing’ and ‘wanting to be fixed’ is a strong thought conglomeration that runs the whole medical field. And yes, as you say, how can true’healing come about from here.

        3. So true Rachel, once patients are able to see the purpose of their illness and can take responsibility for their healing and for the choices that caused the disease in the first place, they stop putting pressure on the doctors to ‘fix’ them, which must be a terrible burden if a doctor takes it on.

        4. That’s so true and something that has never occurred to me before. As people start taking more responsibility for where our bodies are at with the understanding that it’s all from the way we have been living, this changes the role of doctors from being the person to fix us to being a support in our healing.

        5. We have placed such a burden of expectation on our doctors. This has impacted on the way they practice, made them the fixers we demand.

        6. Agree dentistryinharmony, we have set it up in a way that no responsibility is taken on our part and expect doctors to fix us, time to change and embrace what true healing offers us all.

     2. Indeed Heather it would be wonderful to combine all that conventional medicine offers with this understanding of illness and healing that Eva-Maria has described.

489. Thankyou Ev-Maria. Cancer, illness and disease, and even death should not be something that we fear. They are all part of cycle of life. Your blog showcases the power of acceptance, and of the willingness to look beyond the mere physicality of illness and disease. A truly philosophical approach.

490. Thank you Eva-Maria for sharing your personal and inspiring story. I too found that when going through cancer asking for help and support was one of the biggest healings I had, as I was so used to doing it alone. It was a time when I finally chose to let people in and to let myself be supported.

     1. Yes Donna, I nursed my mum who had cancer and it was so much easier once she gave up her stoic independence and allowed people to support her – it became a delight to be with her because she allowed herself to be as she was -–fragile and vulnerable – and there was great beauty in that.

        1. yes that is truly healing in itself.. to allow ourselves to be fragile and vulnerable, and accepting and allowing others to support us. There are many healings that can occur even though the physical body may not experience a ‘cure’.

     2. It is so great Donna that you and Eva Maria and others are sharing your experiences, this supports others like myself to re-consider our choices and let people in and ask for support before we need an illness to remind us.

     3. Asking for help and support is huge Donna and then truly allowing that to happen without any resistance is deeply healing. It’s where we see that people love us for who we are first and foremost. This can be very challenging.

        1. Good point Jennifer. It is true we often do think that people love us for what we do – our contributions to the mix. But in fact they just love us. And during illness or at a time when we need help, is the time this is brought home to us.

491. Eva-Maria I also love how you make it super clear what healing is and is not. Allowing true support and asking for help; Letting people in; a very deep level of acceptance in what is happening without any attachment to an outcome, including death; and committing to your life and the love you are. What I love about this is that you eventually reached a point where healing became so much more than simply ‘curing’ the disease.

     1. Yes Jennifer, I too am inspired by the way in which Eva-Maria has firstly decided to look at and feel more deeply what her illness is about and then take responsibility for wellbeing. This is a truly revolutionary sharing. Deeply inspiring.

492. Thank you Eva-Maria for sharing your story which will be read by many treading the same path . You have de-bunked the way we think of illness as a punishment or something that is random that just occurs without reason. Telling your story about the way you were nurtured and supported through your treatment will also help the many doctors and nurses who face this difficult task daily.

     1. The belief of punishment or being random and bad luck is massive, and both are a way of not assuming responsibility. It is so disempowering to give into these beliefs and Eva-Maria is a great example of how empowering assuming responsibility is and how you get back into the driver’s seat, accepting what is offered and surrendering to the healing. So inspiring!!

        1. Randomness! Oh Rachel, what a problem that is…the belief that something is just bad luck. We just do not want to see how very simple life is, that there is a very clear trail that charts what we do and the impact on our bodies.

493. Eva-Maria Wow!! Thank you so much for sharing your experience. Sharing what you have been through is going to be of great benefit to others. Even simply how you accepted the medication you needed to take rather than hating taking it. That in itself is huge. I look after many people who hate taking their medications, but do so out of necessity. What a complete turn around that is and turns the medications into something that is of true support.

     1. The question of how to take medication is a great point you make here; Carmel Reid obviously had a very similar experience with her thyroid medication, the link to her article is https://medicineandsergebenhayon.com/2015/08/27/simple-lifestyle-changes-help-heal-hyperthyroidism/
        Carmel also talks about how her intent and feelings when taking the medication changed the nature of the side effects.

        1. Thank you for posting that link Gabriele – it’s a fascinating article.

     2. There is such a lesson here around the relationship we have with everything even our medicine. Eva-Maria describes a relationship of acceptance and engagement with all the levels of her healing which allowed for a lessening of side affects of her medicine.

        1. This struck me too Jenny, how the side-effects of the medication lessened with Eva-Maria’s acceptance of it as a true support. Wow, I have heard of this sort of thing but never so clearly or real-ly expressed, so I feel that I can now fully take that possibility on board.

        2. Absolutely Jenny, if we were to bring this acceptance and engagement to all aspects of our lives, we would not feel bombarded by so many “side-effects” (stress, reactions, anxieties, etc).

     3. Our relationship with medication is crucial. Anything we take or we do can be considered medication and can always be a support for the body or a strain on the body. When we have to take medication due to an illness or disease it is the same and when the necessity has become the dominant factor we lost connection to why we are needing the medication and that it is there to support us. It is groundbreaking how massive side effects can be altered or almost disappear due to the relationship we have with our body, the healing process and the needed medication.

     4. Yes, that point also caught my attention. Accepting support from others, accepting medication – so that these things can do what they are supposed to do in their bestest merits – this is a real eye-opener for me.

     5. What I am reminded of in the blog, your comment Jennifer, and the ones that follow, is how much I have fought medications, hated them in fact. That level of fight is a huge stress on an already sick body. Recently I had to take cortisone, a drug I used to “hate”. Well this time it was prescribed by a very sensitive and aware doctor at a low dose, and I have embraced it in full. This medication is what I need right now. It allows my body a moment’s rest from a state it has been placed in.
        Also, I have the grace to not fight exploring the choices I made that put it in the state in the first place. No blame, just love and honesty.

        1. I can feel too Rachel how much this will support patients in your care too. For a lot of people really struggle taking medication. I can feel the same for myself, how my belief would be infused in giving someone a medication, no matter what it was that I said to them.

494. Hello Eva Maria – thank you for sharing honestly your experience of living with cancer. The concept of illness being healing is so far removed from what society tells us about illness (that there is something wrong with us), that the first step in accepting the “love’ that it brings is hard to see clearly, accept and surrender to. In the past one of the questions that have come up around illness is – ‘Why me?’ – the belief that we are being targeted, a victim, even ‘bad’. Illness brings much needed focus to our livingness and our treatment of our body and others. As you came to feel and understand – ‘No matter which illness or disease we have, we can choose to accept it, to look at what our body shows us and to clear and heal deeply. It is absolutely amazing to have such a chance’.

     1. I love your comment Ch1956, when we get ill there are so many questions that often are left unanswered and we then give up on understanding the deeper reasons why this situation is occurring for us, that is why Eva Maria’s blog and all that Universal Medicine offers is so empowering.

495. Eva-Maria what you have shared here is so profound and life changing (and maybe challenging for some people).
     To view cancer and any disease that presents in our bodies as a deep opportunity to heal how we have been with our bodies is truly embracing taking responsibility for ourselves. Your experience is an inspiring example of embracing responsibility and the love and support you needed during this time.
     Thank you for your willingness to show there is another way when we are diagnosed with cancer.

     1. Agree Sharon, not everyone will be able to see Cancer in the same way as you say , let alone the responsibility aspect… just the word, Cancer, itself for so many means ‘death’ or ‘the end/finality’- when in fact it can indeed be an end to a beginning that was not in line with the natural homeostasis of the body. Seeing or regarding illness or disease as a ‘call-back to balance’ and in this necessary re-adjustment is needed from the otherwise imbalance, is a new way that allows for (deeper) understanding, which I really feel is so key in any/all diagnosis.

        1. Absolutely, Zofia. ‘Cancer’ has a definitive ring that there’s something serious that we need to deal with – and to what level is entirely up to our willingness and readiness.

        2. Beautifully said Zofia. The ‘call-back to balance’ is what can be super challenging to see when we have an illness as then we have to take responsibility for our past choices and it is that responsibility that we often want to avoid.

     2. What I love Sharon is that I have heard people talk about the possibility of disease as a clearing, but in reading Eva-Maria’s blog I felt it, really felt it deeply in a way that I can apply to my life.

        1. and how that in itself is healing Rachel.

496. An amazing sharing Eva-Maria thank you for writing this. As I read it, it was a stop and made me look at things in my life with a different perspective. Thank you

497. Wow Eva Maria this is like gold for the world. You are such an amazing woman! Thank You for sharing this with all of us….so clear…so strong…so healing.

498. Beautiful, so honest, so vital that offers a great support for everyone, especially who has to face cancer.

499. Honouring our bodies and what they are telling us is key for any true healing to occur, and with this, full acceptance of what is being offered…to acknowledge our past choices and accept there are always consequences may not be so comfortable, and it will certainly knock out any arrogance we may have, but it is all part of a deeply healing process, bringing our body back to a place of love, joy, harmony and vitality.

500. Whoa Eva Maria, this is such a beautiful blog. Thank you for sharing. I do not have cancer or ever had it but I have a lot of friends who have and what you share here is so inspiring.

501. Thank you Eva-Maria, one of the things that touched me most with all that you have said is how you express yourself, which is with such openess, grace and vulnerability. In doing this you have given everyone that reads your blog a really beautiful healing in allowing us to have the same surrender, tenderness, love and vulnerability that you had with you throughout this process. When I say vulnerable it feels more like a willingness to let go of the anxiety (which as you have shared can be a very real thing for many) in this letting go of the anxiety with such surrender, it feels, brought the start to the true healing you experienced. You have shared so much here to be discussed. It is great to acknowledge the love and great support the Benhayon’s and Universal Medicine bring .. not because they need it but because it shows us there is a different way to be with each other that is so more harmonious than we currently live in our day to day lives.

     1. Beautifully said Vicky. I particularly like your comment about vulnerability and ability to let go the anxiety and surrender to the healing process. I can relate this to many areas of my life, and see with cancer diagnoses in particular (of self or others) that the anxiety is debilitating and blocks true healing from taking place. Offering the space of surrender is the true gift we can offer ourselves and others in these situations.

     2. I agree Vicky. Every word of Eva-Maria held me because it was written with such grace and understanding. What I can feel is the intensity of emotion that has been truly cleared. This allows me to look at my own anxiety about health issues in a completely different way. You have allowed me that clarity to see what anxiety does to us when we allow it run roughshod with us.
        Your perspective on cancer is so very needed, especially as our relationship to it and understanding of its true cause have not grown in proportion with the increase in the number of humans suffering from it.

        1. This perspective is definitely needed. When I first read the title I had to do a double-take as if – could it be a thing worth congratulating? After reading the account it does make a lot of sense especially in that the anxiety we can go into about health issues is a major complicator of the healing process but also that it doesn’t need to be the big dark cloud looming over us but worked with in a way that we don’t see it as us and that we can deal with anything with the right support.

        2. The emotions, even though they are understandable, do create a whole layer of complication that also has to be dealt with. In illness and disease we have got to keep it simple. So thank God for Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine. The emotions are not swept under the carpet or fed – they are healed (if we so choose) so that we can get on with healing!

        3. And the physical results that occur from such a take on healing (dealing with the emotional and energetic side of the situation) as seen in many testimonials is absolutely mind-blowing! Without the emotions the illness and disease is approached and related to in a positive way, allowing for a much more positive life which is pretty awesome.

        4. A positive life and a real life – where everything about illness is explored from every angle.

     3. So true Vicky there is a level of support described by Eva-Maria which is sorely needed in the world today with so many people grappling with disease and illness.

     4. Absolutely Vicky the support is crucial in this mutual learning process to embrace life in whatever is offered. If we support from understanding and not sympathy it is massive what is reflected to us and that it is not only about the person being sick, but about us as humanity not choosing love and that we all have to claim that we are divine beings first.

     5. Beautiful observation, Vicky, you share in your comment. I also loves Eva-Maria’s writing about the support she received not only from Serge but from the student group too. The love and true meaning of brotherhood is felt in it.

     6. I agree Vicky the openness and surrender in Eva- Maria’s sharing is felt by all and it offers us a great healing in trusting that there is more to life than meets the eye, and that in every situation we are presented with amazing opportunities to learn so much about ourselves and others.

502. Thank you for sharing Eva-Maria…this is a very inspiring read of the amazing transformation from fear and emotional distress to accepting all that your body has to offer in the way of clearing and healing – there is inspiration for everyone in this blog whether they have cancer or not.

     1. So very true Paula; “there is inspiration for everyone in this blog whether they have cancer or not.”. Eva-Maria’s story will be a much needed support for not only those with cancer, but their family and friends, medical staff who work with cancer patients, and those who do not have cancer but maybe another illness that is very challenging for them, and an inspiration for understanding what true healing is for many others, myself included.

     2. Absolutely Paula, what Eva- Maria has shared in this blog can support so many people by offering a deeper understanding of what true healing is and the power that one has when faced with such situations, as we have a choice to take responsibility and evolve,e or complain and be the victim, it is up to us.

503. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us so generously. This is also what I understand true healing to be, which is worlds apart from the way I use to think.

     1. Indeed I have a much different understanding of true healing now, earlier it involved getting relief from symptoms and not having them return. Now I understand that unless i address the root issue that manifested it physically in my body then the ill energy remains in my body undealt with.

        1. Yes Jenny, and then the body eventually has to find yet another way to draw your attention to the undealt with issue!

        2. I was the same, looking for a solution and a better life but not actually wanting to change or truly heal the root cause.

     2. I agree Sarah, to heal used to be, recover to get back to the old ways of being to do what I was doing before. Eva-Maria shares something completely different here.

        1. I remember when I first started seeing Serge Benhayon for healing sessions in my early twenties, I was to using the sessions so I could recover and then party again. The thing about it was that each time I went back drinking, it became more and more physically challenging to bounce back. If you are doing any sort of healing that does not begin to challenge how it feels when you ingest poison in your body, is it really healing? Or is it just to make it better….

        2. I know what you mean Sarah, when more awareness is there in your body, especially the space you feel through esoteric healing, the less and less it is a choice to poison and abuse it. It is like the birth of the day when you feel the stillness. All is still because you are in it, until the thoughts come in to influence that stillness. So the more you choose your body and connect to that marker of stillness you have and really appreciate it in yourself, the less likely that choice of abuse will be made.

        3. I could feel the space and stillness in your comment Rik and how that supports in making more loving choices.

504. Thank you Eva-Maria for such an honest and open account of your healing with cancer, it mirrors much of what I have experienced myself and I now see what a true blessing this was for me to come back to my body and live my life with regard, instead of disregard, of the preciousness of our bodies.
