the stress and problems people have.
Angela was more than lucky to
achieve her outcome and survival. She
did something powerful that made a
difference in her healing. She accepted
herself, her divine origin, and the power
of inner peace to heal her life. She chose
life rather than death despite cancer and
divorce. As a result, her disease was
cured as well. The doctor would have
learned something powerful if he asked
Angela to tell her story so he could pass
it on to other patients as a source of en-
couragement and hope.
After reading Love, Medicine, and
Miracles, Angela began the journey of
healing her body by healing her mind.
The book may have inspired her, but she
did the work that made the difference.
We can coach others but they need to
show up for practice and rehearsals or
the best coaching in the world is inef-
fective. With her strong, positive attitude
and faith in God, she found an exercise
that helped to change her life. Angela’s
image of the birds feeding on the cancer
gave her the reassurance she needed to
know that everything was going to be all
right. This peaceful image was not about
killing the enemy and fighting a war, but
about nourishment and healing.
I suggest you find a visual image
that feels comfortable for you and pro-
vides you with hope and empowerment.
I know a woman who had no results
when she saw her white cells as vicious
dogs eating her tumor, but when the tu-
mor became a block of ice in her visual-
ization, God's light melted it away.
Remember to live each day to the
fullest, and like Angela did, take plea-
sure in simple activities that most people
take for granted. When you listen to your
inner self, all will be made clear to you.
