As I am a survivor myself, I just wanted to share with you some of my thoughts and I have dedicated this article to my friends who are survivors and to the others who are still fighting to survive. I am not a cancer survivor, but a scleroderma survivor; I am one in a million who has survived from this terrible illness.Scleroderma is an autoimmune disease of the connective tissue. Autoimmune diseases are illnesses which occur when the body's tissues are attacked by its own immune system. Scleroderma is characterized by the formation of scar tissue (fibrosis) in the skin and organs of the body. This leads to thickness and firmness of involved areas.
I was very young and fought this disease for 7 long years; years of terrible pain and suffering, years of fear which alos made me write this article in the hope that I may be of help for others who are going through similar situations.
Now, I am dealing with another chronic illness and out of love for my fellow travellers on the path, here I am with some of my own insight.
At the root of our universal human existence is survival.
We all want to survive, and to know the secrets. Who will flee or who will fight? I think we all pick our poison as to what situation we will try to survive just to see and prove we can. Those who do survive feel empowered, getting the necessary energy and confidence to tackle the next challenge. This is something we have been doing since our earliest years as infants. However, when we became adults, we made the stakes higher.
Our thoughts create an energy that affects our well being down the level of cell health, to our aura, and to the energy we emit into this world. We were given the gift of free choice; not that we can change the path as I have mentioned many times in my articles! We can either use our choices to empower us, limit our lives, and challenge ourselves to dream beyond our wildest imaginations. We decide our focus.
Karma: Be aware of intentions. Thank heavens for forgiveness. Humans do make mistakes. Forgive yourself and others as often as necessary.
Love does conquer all, and "evil" will give a good fight before being overcome.
We are Love at our very essence. We ultimately came to earth to love, and be a light force. This is our true self-image.
We are ONE, coming from the same creator. What we think and do towards another, we also do to ourselves
Self-Love is at the heart of one's power. We have to love ourselves with all of our hearts first and know that the creator gave us life because our lives do matter. This is true confidence.
Imagine you already knew you were a survivor. Imagine you didn't have to create circumstances to prove anything to yourself or the universe. Imagine you are already a survivor. At this level, at this frequency, you realize you do have everything you need. You take a deep exhale, knowing you have made it and you are OK and safe. You tell yourself, I am fine. I am OK. You feel your heart rate slowing down. You feel the tension in your face melting away. Your jaw is relaxing, slightly opening tight lips. You feel your breath, and take an even deeper breath of air. Deep inside, you feel good because your pH (acid/alkaline) level is coming into balance and harmony, positively affecting cellular wellness and hormones. You see all of the good things around you, and some resources that were under your nose. You begin to attract what you do need to thrive.
What if you knew, that no matter what, you will survive. You might be like the Olympic Athletes who crash and burn in round one, only to recover and win the Gold. Because of our drive to survive and evolve, we will have obstacles at any level. The difference between those you make it, and those who don't--are those who had the courage, confidence and heart to meet the challenge. They played the game, seeing themselves winning. They declared victory, not defeat. Most importantly, it is those who can laugh in the face of their fear, and transform fear's strength into something positive.
How can a bull rider relax and go with the bull while at the same time taking it by the horns? How can a navy pilot land his plane in the night on a moving airstrip that is bouncing up and down with the ocean's waves? How can anyone do some of the super human feats? I believe it is by the grace of God, and how they are able to transform their fear to do the impossible and incredible.
I think it is very important get in touch with how you see yourself. Even if you can't image how, it is important to see yourself how you want to be. You have the ability and freedom to choose. This is the only thing you really can control. When you hurt, see yourself pain free. When you are sick, see yourself well and tell yourself that this too shall pass. When you can't image yourself, see a beautiful white light. Practice seeing how you would like things to be vs. how they may actually be as much as possible. These meditations are like mental sit-ups, making your core strong to manage the next challenge, or to have fun playing a good game. You are the only one who can do this, and there is no time like the present. You must heal yourself and be successful doing it so that you can help your soul carryout its mission for this lifetime. The world depends on you.
One thing, however, I have realized is just how fear manifests into our lives. Some can handle fear better than others. Some can handle more fear than others. Ultimately--this is one of the true causes of ill health. The trick is to recognize when you are living in fear and its associated illusions in order to get out and say "NO". Love is the only truth.
Why does anything happen? Why do good things happen to bad people? Why do bad things happen to good people? I think things happen because each human was blessed with the gift of free will. We are free to think the thoughts we have. I think things happen, not to punish--but to increase our self-awareness and self-responsibility to open our hearts. But those are only my thoughts.
These past few weeks, I have talked with many frightened people. I heard myself say to them: Say no to the fear, to the illusion. Take the time to create a life-sustaining intention that brings you love, peace, joy, health, prosperity and anything else that is of Love. When you find yourself in darkness, cling to the truth about your true self and being. Nourish your intention, heart's desire, and ask God to bless it and keep it in the light.
"What you are, the world is. The world is transforming, and maybe all of life's little and big experiences are to help us transform so that we can transform the world. However, it is critical that we do transform and become the Light and Love we truly are--and be part of the change at any level.
Love and light
I love each one of you

Love and light to you.
Yours are words of wisdom and I thank you again
I would merely add that fear is the absence of love, and stems from the belief that one is separate from the love of God and left all alone as a helpless victim of an uncaring world. The lesson to be learnt is that the opposite is true.
Faith - thank you my dear one. We should all be together as one. I feel that way and am blessed to understand there is no difference between me and the rest of the world. If I have helped a little by posting it, I know that is a great step. Love and light to you
Nancy - you are right ! there are so many out there who suffers of different other illnesses ( not necessary to be cancer) and the pain and suffering is the same and depends on how much one can handle. There are also people living in poverty and the fear that cannot pay their bills and again this is suffering.
Love and light to you my dear one

Visionarie - Yes indeed , we do have to learn from each other. I know about the syndrome Fatigue as one of my friend suffers of it and it is not easy to deal with.
My daughter suffers of asthma since she was 2 years old. Now she is much better , but nonetheless I know what we and here were going through in the first 5 years since she has started to have this problem. She even reached the stage of atelectasia when the lungs are not functioning due to the many asmathic attacks.
thank you and namaste

Lori - Thank you alot and your lovely comment
Meryl - we need healing of the body and soul. If the soul is suffering then, it manifests into the body, like a signal that something is wrong.
thank you so much
Namaste
Amanda - I did go through a period of feeling sorry for myself; after I went through a period of understanding that the path cannot be changed and whatyever is to happen it will happen, BUT I have learned that spending all my energy feeling sorry for myself is not the right way. I also went through depression and had to go deep within in order to look again at the sky and hear the birds chirping. I felt from your poetry that you went through much pain and sorrow and now you are just confirming. We have much to learn from one another
thank you for being a part of me
love and light to you
love and light
Give my love to your mom and dad
let them keep in the light and thank you so much for your comment which comes from the heart of a nice soul
love and light to you
Deep breathing, meditation, energy work, drinking lots of clean water, and eating as many fresh and live foods are the keys to health. They foster the circulation process and all of its benefits, they nourish and replenish, and they cleanse out toxins. But again I could say that this is not enough as our soul come here on the earth plane having some debts and rewards in the same time. She should not feel guilty ! Please let me know how is she going and healing energy is already on the way. I will pray for her.
thank you and both of you keep in the light
love and light
Mary - I do appreciate your words and articles in general as everything you say comes from a golden heart.
We have much to learn from each other.

Manoj - what is the purpose of being negative? it leads you to being miserable and make the others around you feeling the same. A positive outlook which pours from within may make wonders.
thank you
For many they have a need to give their lives over to a higher power. If giving your life over to a god helps than that is a good coping method. Imagine the feeling when you realise that in the end you are alone in your own body and you can somehow survive.
love and light to you my dear friend
Pamela - you are always sweet and kind and beautiful. I am proud to have you as a friend in gather. namaste my dear one
Robert- sometimes we feel we are alone, but in reality we are not. If the road is thorny at certain times we may feel that way , but thank God we are back to our real self in no time.
thank you
love and light
I am glad to be connected and will be in touch more.

love and light to you my dear one
we are spirits in a body. The spirit can heal the body as it is the mansion of the soul while on the journey.
love you
