I got a call from a friend a few days ago to update me about her cancer and the treatment. her first comment had me giggling - she says her oncologist is a complete wally and a fool! she is obviously not one to put others on a pedestal.
what I found so engaging about her story is that she decides for her Self, what treatments she will have - and which treatments she rejects without a second thought.
and the best part, for me, is that she knows exactly who holds the power in this scenario. not the doctor. not the cancer. not the treatment. she holds the power.
if she intuitively feels that the proposed treatment is not for her, she says no thank you, and moves on. this woman knows that she has to live her life in the way she knows best - and just because others may benefit from a particular treatment, does not mean it is the best option for her.
she would far rather be at home, getting dirty from head to toe in the garden, than investing her time in anything that does not resonate with her.
she is just doing what she feels like doing in any moment.
we all have a lot to learn from people like my friend. so many of us listen to the voices of 'authority' and follow instructions without thinking for our Selves
my friend is listening to her Higher Self - using her internal sense of authority to steer her way through this challenge. I am so appreciative of the lesson I am learning from observing her,
it is said that we learn best from experience - I have no desire to learn any lessons by getting a life-threatening disease - I am prepared to learn by observing and understanding and "getting" what she is teaching so subtly.
long may she live - and even longer, may the lessons she is teaching all of us reverberate across the planet.
