This book got my attention as the author of the book survived incurable vaginal cancer without taking medicines. Two concepts got my attention - Metaphysical healing and Patterns [ as said in "SECRET" ]. The book emphasizes that one has to clear the patterns of resentment that one has been holding. It is imperative to let go of the blame. This is definitely difficult but not impossible. The resentment would literally eat oneself with cancerous growth because one hadn't forgiven.
Metaphysical healing is based on the belief that negative mental patterns, left unchecked, can eventually result in physical disease or illness; and that the reversing of those negative mental patterns into positive patterns can in turn lead to healing.
For example, worry about money issues tend to manifest as lower back problems, as the back represents support. A believer in metaphysical healing who was experiencing soreness in his lower back would examine his thought process to see if he had been over-anxious about money issues of late. Once the negative thinking pattern was identified and replaced with a new habitual positive pattern, the backaches, if caused by the old negative pattern, should subside.
In modern world we see a lot many people affected with diseased such as Diabetes, Blood Pressure etc . These are caused by the old negative patterns.
The idea behind metaphysical healing is that the individual is his or her own healer, responsible for creating both health and illness. When an individual falls ill, the believer in metaphysical health does not think it was by chance, but by mental patterns that can be identified and replaced. The type and point of origin of the ailment gives a clue where to look in the thinking patterns.
According to this belief, the most compromising emotions to health are longstanding guilt, resentment, and anger. The biggest healers are self-love, self-acceptance, and self-worth.
About the Author -
Most of her childhood was spent enduring both physical and mental abuse, with a lot of hard labor thrown in. Her self-esteem got lower and lower, and few things seemed to go right for her. This pattern got reflected in her outside world.
she had this “already confirmed belief” that she was worthless and did not deserve anything that put her at the end of the line with no cake. It was her pattern. They were only being a mirror for her beliefs.
In those early days, the violence she experienced as a child, combined with the sense of worthlessness she developed along the way, attracted people into her life who mistreated her. Gradually, however, through positive work experiences, Her self esteem grew, and those kind of people began to leave my life. The book "SECRET" also talks about the same concept. "PATTERNS" attract people and situation in our life. They no longer fit her old pattern of unconsciously believing that she deserved abuse. She didn't condone their behavior, but if it were not “her pattern,” they wouldn't have been attracted to her. Now, a person who abuses her does not even know I exist. Our patterns no longer attract.
Having been abused in childhood and holding on to her old resentments, the author was diagnosed with Vaginal Cancer. The word incurable, which is so frightening to so many people, means to me that this particular condition cannot be cured by any outer means and that we must go within to find a cure. If she had an operation to get rid of the cancer and didn't clear the mental pattern that created it, then the doctors would just keep cutting her until there was no more Louise to cut. She didn't like that idea.
She immediately took responsibility for her own healing. She read and investigated everything She could find on alternative ways to assist her healing process.
She knew she had to clear the patterns of resentment that she had been holding since childhood. it was literally eating her body with cancerous growth because she hadn't forgiven.
So LET GO the anger, blame, and resentments. Love is the ultimate healer. Love yourself just as you are, with all your seeming conflicts and inner turmoil. Do not withhold love from yourself, and don't use your confusion to further judge and criticize yourself.
