When Manya Lindsay was diagnosed with breast cancer in September 2007, she found herself facing death. She could sense the fear of family and friends whose thoughts were "you better hurry up and take treatment if you don't want to die." A quiet and meditative person by nature, it made her reflect on life and she realized that it had never presented her with something she couldn't handle. She chose to be optimistic about learning instead of focusing on dying. In this inspirational and illustrated account, she shares what she learned on her journey. Drawing on the teachings of a Lakota Sioux medicine man, indigenous groups from all over the world, as well as Buddhist meditation, she liberated herself and walked down a path of healing. By tracing her steps, you'll rediscover your inner strength, overcome fears, and learn ways to heal your body naturally.

CHAPTER 1

Awakening


An Illness, a Life Situation, an Emotion, a Thought, are all impermanent. They are transient phenomena and arise and pass. What energises these is an attachment to a concept, a perception, a missed-understanding, fear of a consequence in the future or a memory from the past. Most of these are coloured by judgement. If we understand that every thought has an impact, would we not be more careful about what we think? We are often told about actions and their consequences. Thoughts and words have power and great consequence. Are we aware of these?

This is a useful practice and assists in one's own awakening

Sit quietly, arms and legs uncrossed. Take a deep breath and fill the whole body with this breath. Breathe out slowly and easily until you know you have completed the out breath. Do this 3 times. You will notice the body relax. Keep your attention in the body, exactly as it is.

The next 3 breaths – breathe into the area in your body where you see tension, pain or dis-ease. Notice what happens without judgement, without expectation, without hatred or dislike. Like a child, watch this with wonder.

What is observed is Change and Impermanence. Who is observing? Your Higher Self, God Presence? You could call it what feels comfortable for you. This observer is always present and when there is quiet, we notice and understand. This ability is effortless and ever present and in every one of us. This is balance and equanimity.

There is a tendency to forget to log in here causing a dis-connect with YOU. This YOU, is not a person, nor a personality. It is not a creation. It simply IS and in all of us as individuated beings. We are aspects of the same. Once such a place is seen and experienced, we KNOW. Our perspective alters and there is Space which allows the opening of the heart to receive that which heals and balances. This is the quiet space, the safe space from where magic and miracles do occur. There is a different mind space here. Just as we have no personality or name when we sleep (proved by science and research) we are one being with all that IS and therefore have access to all information and guidance. We wake up and wear our Personality like a cloak and assume all its definitions of who and what we are along with all the limitations. We become Separate and lose the connection of being part of a whole. When we take this cloak off, we are Vulnerable but very strong. Every day we can discover this wonder anew. All it needs is awareness, and a willingness to observe rather than judge and control. It can be fun to get reacquainted with a new being every day, every hour every moment.

What we call misfortunes, illness and traumas offer us an opportunity to look through this window. They take away the sense of security we attach to and leave us Vulnerable. Here is a space where we can come into our own Power and draw on universal energy to heal and balance all that is imbalanced. Here is a space for Gratitude, for all that we are given even the imbalance. These are experiences we have invited for our evolution and learning. It is a time of excitement and joy, and not a time of sorrow and despair. The latter kicks in because of Fear – of what?

One could say safely that the Fear is one of Death. Fear has been defined by a profound soul as:

F alse

E vidence,

A ppearing

R eal


This is worth Reflecting on. Death does not only refer to the physical death but the death of ideas, thoughts, judgements, emotions, perceptions, time – past and future, and many limitations. These being Impermanent, arise and die incessantly. So what causes our distress is our absolute attachment to the above phenomenon without reflection and awareness.

Here is an opportunity for deep reflection and connection within. Fear drives us away from this space toward giving away our personal power to others. Here is a quote from Rumi:

"And if every way is closed before youz

The secret one will show a secret path

No other eyes have seen before"


This book is offered to you with deep love and appreciation for your presence on this planet, and the perfection you bring. All I ask is for every reader to walk in these shoes for a while and find the resonance. If none exists, hope it is an interesting experience. Illness and imbalance touch all of our lives directly or indirectly. I wish you well on your awakening.

CHAPTER 2

A SHIFT IN PARADIGM

* * *

Death


Found myself facing death.
What happens when this being dies?
Who am I?

What is my purpose? Where am I going?
I am a mass of changing energy
Which aspect of this is me?
Notice attachment to the physical body.
Which bit is me? Watch the fear in and around me
I watch quietly and willingly
A creation of mine
A smile crosses my face
I welcome my friend and Accept my power
I am a Spirit who knows
All is well


Diagnosis


I was given a diagnosis of Invasive Ductile Carcinoma Left Breast.

This followed a routine mammography which showed some abnormality. I then had a repeat mammograph at a breast clinic a month later. This lasted for 4 hours and they were looking for multiple growths in both breasts. The radiographer who worked with me was very distressed as she was aware of the bruising that was being caused. I reassured her that I was alright and continued to meditate. It was at this time that I saw a small lump in my left breast. Having visualised this, I began my healing.

Once the Oncologist was happy with the mammograph she used it to do a guided biopsy, which gave her more information. This process took four hours. I received the official diagnosis a week later confirming that I had a grade 1 carcinoma of the left breast. Grade one means that it is localized andhas not spread anywhere.

The diagnosis is confirmed in a letter from a hospital consultant in an English breast screening service:

12 September 2007

This patient ... was assessed ... on 7 September 2007. She had been recalled for further evaluation of a suspicious, 10 mm spiculate mass in the upper half of the LEFT breast and a tiny probable benign area of calcification in the RIGHT upper outer quadrant. Clinical examination demonstrated a sublet mass, which was difficult to feel and would require localization, in the LEFT upper inner quadrant. Subsequently, this was confirmed to represent a 7 mm suspicious, malignant appearing mass on ultrasound. Ultrasound of the LEFT axilla was normal. Ultrasound guided core biopsies were performed to this mass and this has revealed an invasive ductal carcinoma, grade with associated low grade DCIS(85b/85a). Stereotactic guided core biopsies were performed to the calcification in the RIGHT upper out quadrant.

Histology has confirmed this to be fibrocystic change with calcification (B2).

In September 2007 I was given a diagnosis of Invasive Ductile Carcinoma Left Breast. It was all about FEAR and DEATH. It was all about `You better hurry up and do this or that if you don't want to Die'

So what was it all about? It made me reflect...
