The Emotional Aspects of Cancer

Cancer is a very difficult illness to treat and one that causes a lot of emotional stress.  I don't treat cancer, but I do provide people with education about alternative or complementary methods of dealing with it, so they can make informed choices about what they should do.  Part of my goal in helping people with cancer is to empower them to take control of their own life and start making their life pleasant and enjoyable to them. 
In this article, I cover two topics.  The first is why I believe that cancer is so prevalent in modern society.  It deals with the energetics of cancer.  The second is what I have observed is the typical emotional state of the cancer "victim."  I put the word victim in quotes because there is often a self-martyring victim mentality in the cancer patient.  I find that changing the cancer person's attitude is an essential part of their healing process.

Let Go of It: Cleansing One's Life

One of the major therapies in natural healing is the “cleanse.”  Detoxification is a major part of the holistic approach natural healers and therapists take to various health problems.  Most of the focus is on cleansing the body, but it has been my observation that what is happening on the physical level is often deeply connected to what is happening on the mental, emotional and spiritual levels of our being.  In this article I explore how "letting go" of things and allowing our lives to empty out creates the space that welcomes in the new.

Relax Your Way to Greater Health (and Energy)

It's an interesting paradox, but the more tense you are, the less energy you have. The more relaxed you are, the more energy you will have when you need it.  As the body loses energy, you become increasingly tense. As you lose energy, you also become increasingly sick. This article explores the relationship between muscle tension, energy storage and health. It was originally written in October of 2007 and was revised and updated in February 2014.

Relaxation and Energy Potential

Muscles expend energy (or work) by contracting.  In other words, muscles discharge energy when they contract. Muscles rebuild an energy charge by relaxing.  So, relaxed muscles store energy.  The more tense we become, the less energy our body can store.  This makes chronic muscle tension a common cause of fatigue.  Chronic muscle tension can also contribute to anxiety, trembling, nearsightedness and even ringing in the ears.  This article helps you understand the problem of chronic muscle tension and suggests strategies for improving your health by relaxing more.
