Cancer as a Teacher

Miraculous Turnaround

I'm thrilled to share a miracle in my journey: in February 2024, I received clear scans showing no signs of stage four metastatic breast cancer. This aggressive disease had spread to my bones and spine, causing intense pain throughout 2023.

From the diagnosis of breast cancer in 2017, which shook the very foundation of my existence. Yet, from the chaos emerged a profound truth: adversity is not the end but a catalyst for transformation.

Traversing the crucible of cancer and realizing how powerful a teacher it is revealed reservoirs of resilience and compassion within me, not only facilitating my healing but becoming a vessel for the healing of generations past and those yet to come.

I know this to be the truth.

Despite a lifetime devoted to holistic healing for personal growth and as a professional, the aggressive nature of my illness (health opportunity) initially felt like a cruel twist of fate. However, I understood that fate is but the canvas upon which the tapestry of my life would merely start unfolding in living color. The medicine I have been embodied with is beyond any degree I could have ever found in a University.

Earth School is the most potent teacher when we allow ourselves to be present in our chosen lessons.

In 2023, facing another formidable struggle with stage four cancer, I made a choice. Opting for faith over fear, I surrendered to the unknown, witnessing miracles unfold again. Regardless of level ten pain and having limited movement and ways to take care of myself, I still let go and let my prayers reach the Divine. If my time on earth were over, I also would have to be ok with this.

Encounters with death brought profound insights, amplifying my resolve to embody my truth with unwavering conviction.

Standing at the threshold of life and death, surrounded by uncertainty, I faced a pivotal moment. Three owls appeared as harbingers of fate, invoking an ancestral call. In my family's shamanic tradition, such sightings are omens of death, beckoning one to surrender to the cosmic dance. It was a death door indeed, but It was ultimately my choice to cross it.

Yet, in defiance of fate's decree, I chose to stay. Rejecting the call of the owls for now, I embraced acceptance of my choices and the transmissions passed on.

The path was arduous, marked by excruciating pain and emotional upheaval. Tumors riddled my body, posing the threat of paralysis. Without the unwavering support of my husband and my community, I would have been unable to walk or even get out of bed for months. I am so very grateful for the support.

In life's intricate tapestry, we are the artisans of our destinies, guided by the essence of our being, resilient against the storms that may pull us off course. Take front row and center to your life’s story, part of it was created before you came here, the other part is understanding anything is possible and you are the author of your own story.

I still felt the passion to live out my purpose within the pain and share what I learned.

Today, I stand not as a victim but as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, a beacon of hope amidst life's tribulations.

I invite you, dear family, to view life's challenges as sacred opportunities for growth and enlightenment. What are you learning from your challenges, struggles, and chaos?

For within the depths of our darkest moments lies the luminous glow of our true selves.

Together, we can rewrite our stories with courage and resilience, led by the heart.

It is not the challenges we face but our response to them that shapes the course of our journey.

If I were to whisper the remedy for cancer, it would be deep listening to your innate intelligence, finding your true north, calling forth your “spiritual support team” on earth and beyond the veil and following the wisdom. And to add, sometimes death is the next level to our evolution and is not to be judged as a failure.

Remember, when you heal, we all benefit!  

Blessings, Gracías, Maltiòx, A’ho, Namaste, Áshe, and Tlazocamati with all the love in my heart!
