It occurs to me that this process may...Hey dear...<br /><br />It occurs to me that this process may well not be linear. Say you did the scan and figured out that the tumors were bigger again. DOes that necessarily mean that the power of your mind isn't effective? Or just that things are not always a straight line. I think that the western medicine model has imbedded in it a linear way of approaching things. If you do X and things don't get better or get worse, then you abandon it and call it a failure... But I don't know if it is true. <br /><br />I think healing is complicated (and I know you are experiencing that, too, in your own way). It is the physical and spiritual and emotional, all wrapped up in a jumble. If I start feeling better and then relax about some things, how do I know if relaxing any one of them will put me back in the "objective" state of things? And which of the four things I relaxed about was the key one? It seems like it is gestalt more than pieces. And because of this, you may well get "better" then "worse" and who knows which factors cause what or if it is just what the process is doing.<br /><br />I hope that isn't discouraging at all... it's meant to say that I don't think you have to give up on your intuition and mind, no matter what that one test might tell you. You have already done what the western folks thought was pretty much impossible by believing in yourself and following your big beautiful heart and intuition. Don't let one test rattle you! And also don't be afraid to get the info that it has, if that would be valuable as data.<br /><br />Love you! And yes, I am interested in going up to Fairfield with you to check out this Tong Ren thing... can we go on a non-retreat day?Ma'ikwenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7329909205318849260.post-9841174090869877052010-01-26T09:57:48.947-06:002010-01-26T09:57:48.947-06:00Well said Tamar!

I am curious to see how it works out for you...<br /><br />Great to read these posts. It really feels like you are alive again!<br /><br />I love you! ArjenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
