“The Radical Remission survivors I study believe the body has an innate, intuitive knowledge about what it needs in order to heal. And it can often also let you know why it got sick in the first place.” One survivor who later became a healer encourages the cancer patients with whom he works to access their intuition: If the mind is allowed to quiet down, it will know what it needs to do in order to get well again.
Turner counsels her cancer patients to ask themselves two questions: “What has contributed to my illness?” and “What do my body, mind and soul need in order to get well again?”
These are the big questions and are uppermost in my mind as I seek ways to respond to this challenge. My use of regular meditation and spontaneous inquiry into the nature of things has been good preparation for cultivating an openness to intuitive discovery. The answers lie outside of the rational mind and finding ways to receive the answers is key.
My goals:
3. Following your intuition
Meditate regularly/Inquire constantly
Update January 1, 2016
I’ve had good reason to be open to intuitive leanings as I have grappled with the different ways of responding to this challenge. As there is more uncertainty moving forward, the way for intuitive seeking opens as the path is not so clear. Having an open heart and open mind helps.
