Cancer Quick Facts

 When we are young we think we are    immortal: it’s only when we get older we realize how short life was and how quickly         the years flew as we question are mortality.

Young people tend to assume they will never die, but a person’s sense of his or her mortality generally increases year by year, and often increases greatly after a serious accident or illness. Still, many people refuse to change behaviors that would improve    their chances of living into old age.

Mortality rates are calculated by government agencies, insurance companies also charge premium cost based upon state medical history. Infant mortality rates (the rate at which infants die in childbirth)  provide a good indicator  of  a state  or country’s overall health; in recent years, the rates in countries like Iceland, Singapore, and Japan have been much better than in the United States.

Medical immortality – the idea that we’ll be able to reverse the biological ageing process and eliminate the diseases that kill us – seems attractive at first. But there are a litany of reasons why long-term medical immortality would actually be kind of a nightmare.

First and foremost: our brain capacity is limited. This is why the older you get, the harder it gets to remember details of things that happened when you were young. There are only so many memories you can store and recall efficiently, the higher they pile up, the harder and slower they are to recall at a moment’s notice. That’s a problem, because we recall on quick memory recall for virtually every part of our everyday lives.

The end result is that even if you stay biologically twenty years old for 200 years, you’re still going to have the slow,  embarrassing brain  of a very old person:  misremembering names and dates,  calling up random  or incorrect memories,  and telling the same jokes over and over. Your perception of time would likely become extremely warped, the older you get, the more quickly time seems to pass.

What Is Life? Is Death Real? 

Living things avoid decay, disorder with equilibrium ~ Erwin Schrodinger!!!

When someone transitions or passes, which some call “death” (I call it Part 0f LIFE) you may hear people say,  regardless if they are religious,  or not, regardless if you even read a book, you will hear people say  “they are in a better place”  or something along the lines of this whether positive or negative.  These words are spoken innately in most people, and it may comfort them so that is why they say it.

But you can listen to those words itself and that person knows that they are “elsewhere”   or even still “here” and very present, even when they are mourning and looking at the body they once occupied they know that “soul” or “energy” or “character” no longer inhabits the body.

However, those individuals speaking this (not all) don’t reflect on what they mean when they say this. I AM IMMORTAL, simply because I left traces of my energy (soul) on earth,  I am immortal because I continue to exist in minds/hearts & spirit,  just like how we exist in each others mind while we are “alive.”

All the great ancient souls still lives through their teachings, because they live within us. SIMPLY what I am speaking about is that – energy is immortal, energy cannot be created nor destroyed, only transferred. GOOGLE: the definition of ENERGY.

Scientist have already explained our body is electromagnetic, they may not use those words in detail, but if you can put information together then you overstand that energy is in many forms, think about your first breath you took when you are “born” and also think about where the breath goes when we “die”.  And where does it return to?

Where did you go/return to/or enter? therefore YOU, the energy you are is immortal and that energy is what gives energy to this vehicle.  This is why your environment and food is very important.  Are you eating the electric foods? Are you charging yourself up while you are in this realm?  Or do you unplug from the motherboard and live in a lower vibration?

Energy is Infinite.

Death is a powerful force that has been motivating human behavior forever. It causes us   to spend our life savings to live in a nursing home. Also: being medically immortal doesn’t mean being actually immortal. It just means you won’t die of old age or (possibly) disease. Instead,  you must accept the Fact 0f LIFE you may die in an accident,  or a homicide, or a war, or meet some other violent end.

And even if you’re OK with that, think about the absolutely brutal effect that will have      on your friends and on family in a world where people no longer have to die. Now, death sucks but at least it’s fair – we all die.  In the world of medical immortality,  that is much less true, and every death is a sudden, unexpected shock that seems all the more unfair because had you not been hit by that truck, you could have lived another 50 years.

Then of course there are all of the social problems: overcrowding, limited resources, the total pointlessness of the prison system, the elimination of retirement, and the stagnation of social, economic, and political systems where the old never die off,  Death is a powerful force that has been motivating human behavior forever.  Taking it out of the equation will change everything about human life,  and only a fool would assume — all of those changes would be for the better.

Perhaps that’s for the best. On our darkest days, it certainly seem humans are nothing more than cruel,  violent,  destructive creatures and the universe might genuinely be better off without us.  Even so, as a human myself at any age, it’s hard for me to get excited about the glorious future in which we bring about immortality by eliminating humanity.

Many religions tell us we may become immortal once we have shed our mortal bodies       in death.  There is no evidence for this  and at the moment remains purely speculative.        It seems unfair that we have to toil through life, suffer hardships and disappointments, experience pleasure and joy, only for it all to come to an end with no noticeable reward.

It seems unfair that we have to toil through life, suffer hardships and disappointments, experience pleasure and joy, only for it all to come to an end with no noticeable reward. The universe isn’t fair nor is it unfair, it just is.
The old must make way for the new. It is the natural order of things.
If you believe that you have a soul or spirit and you believe that spirit is infinite and cannot be destroyed, then yes we are actually immortal. Moreover, our immortality only exists on the spiritual plane and not on any physical one.
Just as science considers as an axiom that information cannot be lost or destroyed, then the same exists with spirit as well.
However understanding the nature of immortality goes hand in hand with understanding infinity!!  According to the Oxford dictionary the term  ‘Immortal’  means  “living forever; never dying or decaying,”  and it’s a Fact 0f Life that this definition clearly does not apply to humans.

The Hidden Forces of Life

In any given moment of a health challenge,  illness or suffering,  can serve as a doorway      to your boundless nature and an opportunity for healing.  In this teaching, Geshe Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche also guides a meditation practice that helps one tap into the profound healing powers of awareness and compassion.  In his link  which was broadcast live from the annual Fall Retreat at Serenity Ridge, Nelson County, Virginia, on Oct. 11, 2014.

Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche whose the founder and spiritual director of Ligmincha Institute. Rinpoche is the author of The Tibetan Yogas of Dream and Sleep;  Tibetan Sound Healing; Wonders of the Natural Mind;  Healing With Form, Energy and Light: The Five Elements in Tibetan Shamanism,  Tantra & Dzogchen;  Unbounded Wholeness  (with Anne Carolyn Klein);  Awakening the Sacred Body;  Tibetan Yoga’s of Body, Speech and Mind;  and also Awakening the Luminous Mind.

Primordial energy is an unstable form of energy, whose nature is not yet known.   According to the “inflationary universe” theory primordial energy is what powered           the “Big Bang”. If the big bang was an explosion, who 0r what supplied the energy            for the phenomena?

Universal Energy & Signs You are Highly Sensitive to It.

At some instant,  this energy was transformed  into the fundamental particles from       which arose all the matter we observe today. Applying Einstein’s theory of gravity to        the inflationary universe model results amazing scenario. . .that all the matter in the universe could have arisen from a bit of primordial energy weighing less than a pea.       (the low mass of the primordial energy actually predicts conflict with the singularity theory.)

The known laws of nature can in principle explain where the matter and energy in           the universe came from, provided there was at least a tiny seed of energy to begin with. This tiny unstable seed is called Primodial Energy.

That primordial energy must have been  “lumpy” —  unevenly spread out in space — for formation of stars and planets become possible. Where did primordial energy come from? With the only solution that I can come up is multiverse theory — an influence from higher or parallel universe. . . .Energy also has no start or ending, it just keeps changing between different forms.

Energy is the existence state of mass.
With the existence states of mass having no beginning or ending, and keeps changing to different states. Driven by the fundamental tendency of mass to stay thermodynamically more stable state, and due to the move caused, the more statable state changed, so mass keeps chasing it. . . . this process never end.  So the existence state of mass just changes from one state to another.

There are two categories of energy: free movement energy (including mass state matter free movement energy,  and also energy state matter free movement energy) and position potential energy (including structural position potential energy and gravitational position potential energy). Their are the two categories of the existence states of mass in another word.

Free movement energy is the most usable form of energy, position potential energy just partly usable to us,  most of its energy is locked  in its position potential  that only nature itself can unlock — only central black holes can thoroughly free up the locked energy and turn it into free movement energy.

Central black holes are the energy transformation catalysts that keep the energy in the universe dynamically balanced between the free movement energy and position potential energy by the positive boosting mechanism and negative restraining mechanism. . . . that alternatively dominates the process in central black holes.

This process prevents the equilibrium caused by the entropy growing from happening      in the universe level, though that does happen in any local space and limited time span. This process also prevents the equilibrium caused by gravitation – it wouldn’t allow the central black holes to swallow everything in the universe to cause gravitational death.

The Middle Class Is Shrinking Everywhere — In Chicago It’s Almost Gone!!!

So there is no reason for the universe to have fundamental unbalance such as big crunch, big bang, space dilation(universe expansion), and there is no need for dark energy, dark mass to balance it neither.  Its mass and energy distribution is quite homogeneous.

Its radio wave and microwave back ground radiation level is always stable and distributed homogeneously in space and time. It’s all due to the central black holes’ self-adjusting and self-balancing natural functions. Central black holes are the cells of the universe.

Many years ago, billions of rocks collided and stuck together in our solar system. They continuously collided over thousands of years into the forming planet, eventually forming what would later become known as Earth. With each collision came a little more energy, causing our planet to heat up.

Some of the heat still remains from the formation of the planet nearly four and a half billion years ago. To this day, nearly 6,500 km beneath the crust, the core of the Earth continues to pump out heat from the residual heat.  However, a number of factors are       at play. The heat comes from both residual heat that still exists from the formation of      the planet, as well as from the nuclear fuel that naturally exists within its interior.

The core is incredibly hot, but just how much longer can its fuel supplies sustain the     heat until the Earth fizzles out?  Scientists at the University of Maryland claim they will    be able to answer the question within the next eight years. Driving Earth’s tectonic plate movement  and powering its magnetic field requires an immense amount of power. The energy is derived from the center of the Earth, but scientists are certain its core is slowly phasing out.

What makes the center of the Earth hot?
Keeping the center of the Earth hot are two sources of power: primordial energy left      over from the formation of the planet and nuclear energy that exists because of natural radioactive decay. The formation of the Earth. . . .came at a time when the solar system was brimming with energy.

During the its infancy, meteorites constantly bombarded the forming planet causing excessive amounts of frictional force. At the time, Earth was rife with volcanic activity. Since the beginning, the planet has cooled significantly.  However, residual heat from      the formation of Earth remains.  Although the primordial heat has largely dissipated, another form of heat continues to warm the mantle and crust of the Earth.

Naturally radioactive materials exist in large quantities deep in the Earth with some residing around the crust. During the natural decay process of the radioactive material, heat is released.  In combination with primordial heat  and  natural radioactive decay,     the Earth’s core remains at an incredibly high temperature – over 10,000 degrees.

Unfortunately, the heat produced from both sources is running out.
Scientists know heat flows from Earth’s interior space at about 44 × 1012 W (TW).        What they do not know, however, is how much of the heat is primordial.

The issue is that if the Earth’s heat is predominantly primordial, then it will cool off significantly quicker. However, if the heat is created mostly in part due to radioactive decay, then the Earth’s heat will likely last much longer.

Why it is important?
Earth’s core keeps the temperature stable, more importantly, it prevents the atmosphere from being stripped off by solar wind. At the center of the our planet is also a massive solid iron core that rotates. This rotation gives off a massive magnetic field. . . . that extends into space. The field holds charged particles in place that are mostly collected from the solar wind.

The fields also create an impenetrable barrier in space that prevents the fastest, most energetic electrons from reaching Earth.  The fields are known  as the Van Allen belts,    and they’re what enables life to thrive on the surface of the Earth. This animated video represents  the Van Allen belts,  Two donuts of seething radiation  that surround Earth, called the Van Allen radiation belts, having been found to contain a nearly impenetrable barrier that prevents the fastest,  most energetic electrons from reaching and deflects & absorb high energy electrons, preventing them from reaching Earth.

Also this collection of charged particles deflects and captures the solar wind preventing     it from stripping the Earth of its atmosphere. Without it, our planet would be barren and lifeless.   NASA’s Van Allen Probes Spot  an  Impenetrable Barrier in Space!!!  The video  also shows how particles move through Earth’s radiation belts.  The sphere in the middle shows a cloud of colder material  called the plasmasphere.   New research shows that the plasmasphere helps keep fast electrons from the radiation belts away from Earth.

The Big Bang theory offers a comprehensive explanation for a broad range of observed … and the flatness problem are most commonly resolved with inflationary theory, However, details of the inflationary universe are still left unresolved and …  According to theory, the energy density in matter decreases with the expansion of the. . . .then,  within a miniscule fraction of a second,  it rapidly grew in size —  inflated —  by at least a factor of 10raised to the 25th power. This theory, known as inflation, is currently the dominant explanation for what happened after the Big Bang and for how the universe came to be the way it is today.

So Is It The Big Bang Theory

or Does God really exist?

William Maillis: is not your typical kid.

There is nothing unusual about seeing college students and children on our campus,        but HCHC recently hosted a most unusual visitor  who is both a college student and a  child. William (Vasilios) Maillis is one of the youngest people ever to graduate from a public high school — at the ripe old age of nine — and  will  soon  have  his associate’s degree from St. Petersburg College in Florida.

His long-term goal is to earn  a doctorate in astrophysics and scientifically prove              that God exists. The son of a Greek Orthodox Priest, William wants to prove that               an outside force is the only thing capable of creating the universe,  which means               that “God does exist.”  In this video ,This kid is literally a GENIUS, and has been     declared one by Ohio State University psychologist, Joanne Ruthsatz.

William’s desire to become an astrophysicist is rooted in his strong faith beliefs.                 He disagrees with some of Einstein and Hawking’s theories on black holes and has           his own ideas to prove the existence of the universe.

Stephen Hawking, who passed away at the age of 76, held a much different assertion.

“Before we understood science, it was natural to believe that God created the universe,    but now science offers a more convincing explanation,” once said the renowned physicist.  an atheist.”  William’s parents say, they have never pushed him toward his studies or this God-proving endeavor, but rather that he’s was a pretty “normal” kid. He likes his sports, television shows, the computer and video games like everyone else.”

I believe it takes a God to Create Miracles!!!!

As a child, doctors told Jacob Barnett’s parents their autistic son would probably never know how to tie his shoes. However, experts say the 14-year-old Indiana prodigy has an  IQ higher than Einstein’s and is on the road to winning a Nobel Prize. He’s given TedX talks and is working toward a masters degree in quantum physics.

The key, according to his mother Kristine Barnett, was letting Jacob be himself and by helping him study the world with wide-eyed wonder instead of focusing on a list of things he couldn’t do.  Diagnosed with moderate to severe autism at the age of two,  Jacob spent years in the clutches of a special education system that didn’t understand what he needed. His teachers at school would try to dissuade Kristine from hoping to teach Jacob any more than the most basic skills.

Jacob was struggling with that sort of instruction, while withdrawing deeper into himself and refusing to speak with anyone.  But Kristine noticed that when he was not in therapy, Jacob  was doing spectacular things on his own.  He would create maps  all over our floor using Q-tips.  They would be maps of places we’ve visited  and  he would memorize every street, Kristine told the BBC. One day, his mom took him stargazing. A few months later, they visited a planetarium where a professor was giving a lecture.

Whenever the teacher asked questions, Jacobs little hand shot up and he began to answer questions easily understanding complicated theories  about physics  and the movement of planets. Jacob was just 3-1/2 years old when his mom also realized that Jacob might need something  the standard special education curriculum just wasn’t giving him.  So Kristine decided to take on the job herself.

For a parent, its tough and terrifying to fly against the advice of the professionals, Kristine writes in her memoir, The Spark:  A Mothers Story of Nurturing Genius. But I knew in my heart that if Jake stayed in special-ed,  he would slip away.  The Hamilton County mom, a nursery school teacher, decided to take Jacob home school & prepare him for mainstream kindergarten herself. Jacob thrived under his mom’s personal attention.

She let him explore the things he wanted to explore. He studied patterns and shadows    and stars.  At the same time,  she made sure that he enjoyed normal childhood pleasures softball, picnics along with other kids his age. I operate under a concept called muchness, Kristine said.  Which is surrounding children with the things they love be it music, or art, whatever they’re drawn to and love.  By the time he was 11 years old, Jacob was ready for college.  He is now studying condensed matter physics at the Indiana University-Purdue University in Indianapolis.

His IQ rounds out to 170  that’s 10 points higher than that of Albert Einstein.

Professors at Princeton Institute for Advance Study are impressed that Jacob has been working on his own theory of relativity.. and the Big Bang Theory. The theory that he’s working on involves several of the toughest problems in astrophysics  and theoretical physics, astrophysics Professor Scott Tremaine wrote to the family in an email.

Barnett,  explained his expanded theory of relativity — in a YouTube video. His mother Kristine Barnett, who admittedly flunked math, did what every other mother would do if her genius son started talking mathematical gibberish. She told him to explain the whole thing slowly while she taped her son explaining his take on the theory.

While most of his mathematical genius goes over our heads, some professors at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey — you know, the U.S. academic homeroom for the likes of Albert Einstein, J. Robert Oppenheimer, and Kurt Gödel —   have confirmed he’s on the right track to coming up with something completely new.

Forget What You Know: Jacob Barnett at TEDxTeen

For now, they’re encouraging Barnett to continue doing what he likes to do, which is explaining calculus using a whiteboard marker and his living room windows as seen in    the video above. “I’m impressed by his interest in physics & the amount he has learned    so far,” Institute for Advanced Study Professor Scott Tremaine wrote in an email to the family. “The theory that he’s working on involves several of the toughest problems in astrophysics and theoretical physics.”

“Anyone who solves these will be in line for a Nobel Prize,” he added.
Barnett’s parents knew that there was something different with their son when he didn’t speak until the age of two. He was diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome, a mild form of autism, so they thought he might have problems in school. Instead, they were astounded when he started solving 5,000 piece puzzles by the age of 3.  The 12-year-old also taught himself calculus,  algebra and geometry in two weeks,  and can solve up to 200 numbers  of Pi. He left high school at the ripe old age of eight and has been attending college-level advanced astrophysics classes ever since.

Barnett now, attends Indiana University – Purdue University in Indianapolis.           Einstein was 26 when he first published his Theory of Relativity. We figure that              Jake has a couple of years to kick back  and relax before he finally debunks the                  big bang theory. “I’m still working on that,” he said. “I have an idea, however,                    I’m still working out the details.”

                               No matter how painful or pleasant it is:  it is life experience and that makes you stronger.
Think about all the life lessons  you’ve taken out living your own life. What did you learn? Simple facts with  no emotional coloring to them.  The more we go through life,  the more we turn our wounds into a source of wisdom and power – the stronger and more resistant we become to life challenges and overcoming the agony of painful times.

All these life lessons played a big role in your evolutionary development.

There is a reason for you to be here. You learn and teach. You live and go through life lessons. And this world is so much better with your heart beating… You are capable of loving again.  You are capable of opening up your heart. But first, you need to learn to   love and appreciate yourself for all the strength and courage your heart possesses and      for all the kindness your soul is filled with.

Chronic or severe pain can interfere with our ability to work, maintain relationships,     and sleep properly. If pain meds and other treatments are unable to bring you full relief from migraines, rheumatoid arthritis, neuropathic pain, injury and/or other conditions, consider trying these mind-based techniques to reduce your pain.

Transforming Pain into Art!!!

 Michelangelo is well known for his hypnotizing murals in the Sistine Chapel  and classic Renaissance sculptures  such  as David  and Peta. He created these masterpieces while living with osteoarthritis  and also severe pain in his hands and joints. Another famous artist, Vincent Van Gogh lived with severe migraines, and French Impressionist Pierre – Auguste Renior suffered  from rheumatoid arthritis. Through out time many artist  lived with chronic pain and created inspiring and beautiful works.

 Contemporary Artist Mark Coleen also understands the beauty of expressing pain through art. After he herniated  a disc in his lower back,  he then suffered  from severe nerve pain.  He struggled to communicate that pain with his doctor about his chronic pain. He then began to paint. . . as a way to visually share his pain with his doctor.  After showing his art work to his doctor. His doctor then better understood his challenges and recommended a new treatment plan that helped improve Colleen’s pain symptoms.

Through this experience,  Coleen reached out to other artist living with chronic pain to create a collection of paintings and artwork to capture their journey with pain. He started a non-profit in 2012 called  Pain Exhibit painexhibit.org to educate health-care providers and the public about chronic pain through art  and to give a voice  to the many who suffer  in silence.

 Dawnique Savala, as a young girl from New Mexico always           knew she wanted to be an artist. She played volleyball and was a cheerleader, however,      it was drawing and painting that really inspired her, She was rarely ever sick. . . until at      age 27. When she begin to feel she had the flu and within a month  couldn’t do her own  hair without her mothers help.

After visiting with her primary doctor, Dawnique was diagnosed with Raynaud’s syndrome. Within a few weeks she was referred to a rheumatologist who confirmed        she had rheumatoid arthritis (RA).  At the time of the diagnosis, Savala was studying        art and finishing her last semester at New Mexico Highlands University in Las Vegas.  After taking time off to manage her symptoms, Savala finally finished her bachelor of     fine arts degree and pursued her love of painting.

Her health challenges make it hard for her pursue her entrepreneurial dreams but           her love for painting is an outlet for her frustration  and stress which helps her deal        with all that. Some people turn to Yoga Dawnique turns to painting. 

In her favorite painting called ‘Struggles’ it depicts a pair of shoes that denotes to        others — never judge unless you have walked in that person’s shoes!

 Sterling Witt is an artist and  a multi-instrumentalist accomplished  bassist who tours the United States with only his guitar and his story.  Although he is     also a visual artist he has created myriads  of  sculptures  and paintings which mostly consist of portraits, namely self-portraits. One of his signature elements. . . is having created slews of pictures entirely with his feet.

His childhood seems to be much of a mystery ensconthed in the foggy rural suburbs of Kansas City Missouri.  His works are often personal  because they attempt to explain the torment he lives as a result of chronic pain. Creating art helps him also to survive a life of constant pain. It’s through his artwork he gives a face to a faceless enemy. At 15 Witt was diagnosed with scoliosis, three years later he started to feel severe back pain that has only increased over the years.

Witt decided not to manage his back pain with medication because he doesn’t want to    lose touch with his pain.  My pain keeps me in tune with my body so I know when to take    a break or rest. Instead of taking traditional painkillers, which shutdown your stomach he has discovered alternative options including a type of physical therapy for the spine called Schroth therapy.

He occasionally gets a deep tissue massage called Rolfing that effects the body’s posture and reduces spinal curvature and raindrop therapy  which involves rubbing the muscles with essential oils. And the act of painting actually makes him feel better. Over the years, Witt has painted a series of paintings called “Distort” of the many faces of pain.

Tara Shuey of North Hampton Pennsylvania,  an oil painting called  “Dream Weaver”   best describes her journey with pain.  This  abstract  painting  depicts    her pain and how it radiates, also affecting both her body and mind. Tara has been living with Fibromyaglia and trigeminal neuralgia for over a decade. During 1 of her trigeminal nerve episodes Shuey drew a crying fairy that had burning, shooting pain mixed into her cheeks.

Shuey remembers a healthy childhood  and a passion for painting and it wasn’t until          her early 20s. When she had her wisdom teeth pulled in an emergency procedure that    she started feeling her pain.  It began in her jaw. . . . then radiated throughout her face. Shuey didn’t sleep for thirty straight days and left her in a depressed, suicidal state and desperate for help.

Focusing on her art that saved her life:  she started off  with simple pieces  like drawing SpongeBob  and SquarePants for her son.  As she allowed raw emotion inspire her future paintings, including a magical version of Vincent van Gogh’s Starry Night. With her paint brush she feels free while not feeling the pain and only what she paints on the canvas.

The Universe has your back -“Faith has the power to turn trauma into healing,
conflict into growth and fear into love.” ~Gabrielle B  🙂 

Ok, we all have trauma. What shall we do about it? Heal it. It’s there to heal.                      We have conflict/contrast. What shall we do with it?

There were hidden parts of my shadow that needed to come forward and memories               I didn’t know. I spent a year cracking into that place of remembering what I needed           to unearth so that I could be free.

I wrote this book while going through rock bottom.  So in the midst of breaking down     and picking myself up,  I had to write.  I had a publishing deal,  a word count,  a deadline. The process of writing the book healed me.  When you’re called  and committed to writing  a book on love,  the Universe  and  connection to a higher power,  there’s no other choice but to be in the daily remembrance of what is real to you.

That was my experience of writing this book.  While I was going through the toughest time, it was the remedy. What was it you were holding on to or rejecting or afraid of?

I had been going through what I now know was the process of cracking into a traumatic memory, and ultimately, that memory was the reason I was a drug addict in the first place 11 years ago.

It was something that I’d shut away for 30 years. While I was writing this book, a lot of the ways that I controlled my life and kept things in order so that I wouldn’t have to remember that trauma started to be taken from me.

My husband left his job to come work with me. It created this feeling of, “Oh my God.    I’ve got to let go of the rope.” Wanting to have a baby, I realized, “Wow, I’ve really got       to  let go of control there.”

These monumental shifts in my life created this breaking point for me. And so month  after month I was cracking open to something I didn’t know, and it was horrifying. The month I submitted this book was when the memory came in.  So in the editing process,      I used the book through this very raw,  scary,  horrific time.  The book healed me again.
What came up for you then? Are you allowed to share?

Of course. The memory was one of childhood sexual abuse. And I didn’t have any recollection of it at all. Over the years, many psychics and mediums had said to me,    “What happened to you when you were 6 years old, Gabby?”

I had been asked that many, many times in my life. “There’s trauma, there’s fear           from 6 years old,” they’d say. And I would be like, “Nothing. Absolutely nothing.          What the hell are you talking about?” Because I had no idea.

And if anyone out there has had the remembrance of trauma, it’s horrifying because       you go back into the memory. You go back into the time, and your whole body constricts.
Thankfully, I was in therapy when I remembered it, and thankfully I have this world that we live and work in that is filled with the greatest trauma therapists, Emotional Freedom Technique practitioners, EMDR people, Somatic Experiencing experts and all the people that can serve me.

The practice that helped me overcome work addiction and this is the first time I’ve been around you that I’ve actually seen you calm.  It’s the first time I am calm. When I was in this early recovery from trauma,  I also noticed I was struggling to get out of bed in the morning.

I’d wake up in the morning, feel really depressed and walk up to my office. I’d sit down      to the computer and start working. I realized this was my way of numbing out. And so while I had put down the drink and the drug and had been clean for 11 years, I was…
You were on the go constantly.

My drive, my work, create, create, create, while it was funneled into something that was serving the world greatly… it was killing me. I was addicted to work, which is something no one talks about.

In fact, we’re praised for it. People say, “Oh, you work so hard. You do everything.           You do so much.” And you’re proud of your accomplishments, sure, but at what cost?   Your relationships, your physical presence capacity to be with someone, connected in some way.,

You’re still pretty driven.
Well, it’s amazing. I haven’t lost any drive, but I have let go of the control, and I have       let people help me. I let my husband step in and run my business in the most beautiful way, and I just got out of the way.

I had this affirmation that I was using throughout the year when I was falling apart.       The affirmation was something that I wanted. I wasn’t there yet, but I wanted it. And        so I would say out loud  in the mirror or walking around,  “Everything is happening    around me and I am truly taken care of.”

I had one area of my life where I felt like that affirmation was true. I have an event  planner named Anette, and even at the time when I wasn’t letting people help me,                I let her help me. I would think about what it felt like with Anette, because it was               the one reference that I had.

I would use the affirmation, feeling the feeling of what it felt like to do an event               with Anette. And then four or five months into my trauma healing, all of a sudden                 I was looking at my life and I realized my affirmation had manifested.

Everything is happening around me and I am truly taken care of.

Transforming fear to faith 🙂
What’s the first step to overcoming fear or transforming fear?
Witness it. Be the nonjudgmental witness of it. Look at it and say, “Something’s                 got to give.” If you don’t show up for what’s up, it will keep coming up. So witness           your resistance. Fear is the resistance to what you desire.

In the absence of resistance, you become a magnet for what you desire. When you let         go of that fear, that’s when you start to become a Super Attractor. That’s when you start    to let what is truly of service for you into your life, when you let true happiness into your life.

And even if you don’t have the tools yet, when you look at the fear and you’re like,          “Oh, I see this fear. I see this resistance. I see how it’s blocking my life, and I choose          to see it differently,” you’re led to the guidance you need.

You crack open your consciousness to find solutions rather than find problems. When you’re not looking at the fear, you’re just living in the fear and believing in the problem. But when you witness the fear and you’re willing to see it differently,  you start living in    the solution.

So it’s acknowledging that you’re experiencing the fear […] not beating yourself up,      “and trusting your healing path.”

I believe that the Universe works through people, so when you say yes to healing,              the healing is presented to you in very profound ways that you could never imagine,        and it comes through because you open up your awareness for it.

That’s powerful. Is there anything you have yet to heal?
I’m still healing this trauma stuff. I’m in such early recovery, and while I’m out of              the weeds, I’ve got stuff to deal with — with people, with my physical body, with my    sexual energy. It’s brutal.

I’m not going to be the victim. I’m going to be the survivor.
That’s the next step in healing fear: If you ask for guidance, and then guidance             shows up, you’d better say yes to it.  Trust in the guidance you receive and know                the Universe is supporting you. You’re not alone.

Science and The Mind-Body-Spirit Connection to Health:
Studies in the field of psychoneuroimmunology are demonstrating the effects of the     mind and spirit in healing the body.
Placebo effect – In clinical trials, people who got the “sugar pill” or fake drug got better just because they believed they would.
Attitude and cancer – Dr. H. Steven Greer conducted several studies, including a study with a 15-year follow up on women with breast cancer, and found evidence that attitude     is linked to duration and survival of cancer.
Your beliefs affect your health, including your genes – Dr. Bruce Lipton, internationally recognized biologist and article of The Biology of Belief , is a leader in teaching about the science of epigenetics.  His scientific experiments prove  that your perception or beliefs, affect your health.  His studies show that even if you have a gene for a certain disease, it      is your beliefs that can turn genetic issue off or on.

                                    The Psychology of Cancer

WE ARE ONLY beginning to understand, in a scientific way, the connection between disease and the mind. There is rapidly growing body of research studying the relationship among emotions,  personality characteristics, and disease, especially cancer. The answers are  beginning to emerge,  and they demonstrate a definite connection between emotions and  the chances of developing cancer,  as well as the prognosis of  the disease once it has appeared. This review of the literature will emphasize the most recent developments and discoveries.
Several psychological characteristics appear to influence the course of cancer: depression, stress, lacking a sense of control,  having a negative outlook, and also lacking an adequate support system.  All correlate with a poor prognosis.  Having a sense of control, a positive outlook, and a good support system correlate with a better prognosis.
