Spontaneous Healing and Why it Works
My Experience of a Spontaneous Healing and How it Changed My Life Forever

It was 1974 when a doctor told me I had early cancer and needed surgery the next week. I was 28 years old and the worst fear I had ever felt came over me as he gave me the news over the telephone. Having a great aversion to surgery, I asked what would happen if I chose not to do what he was suggesting. He told me I would be dead by the time I was 40. Another wave washed over me and put me in an altered state of all-consuming fear.

Having grown up in a time when a cancer diagnosis was a death sentence, cancer had been one of my greatest fears. For me surgery was not an option. I just did not want my body opened up or carved up. I like all my parts and intend to leave with everything I arrived with.

An earlier experience with creative visualization resulting in the manifestation of a plush apartment on Lexington Avenue in Manhattan, had shown me that the mind was a powerful manifestation tool.

My Healing Shift

However, manifesting an apartment seemed a far cry from healing cancer and I did not really know how to make it work. So I called a healer. She explained to me, in a loving and non-judgemental way, that perfect health was my birthright and nothing could invade my body to disrupt it's healthy state. Well, this made perfect sense to me and I figured that if believing this to be true had managed to heal others then, why not me too!

In that very moment I experienced a palpable shift in my consciousness. I went from being consumed by a great and horrible fear to an overwhelming sense of total freedom and peace. It was like being let out of jail!

You see, I had shown myself that creative visualization works and I came to realize that my nearly continual fear of being diagnosed with cancer served to manifest the disease within my body. Understanding that allowed me to take the radical step of turning my back on the medical prognosis.

If I had used my consciousness to attract the disease then it seemed logical to me that I could also use my consciousness to heal. This experience taught me that we are all healers and are all capable of healing ourselves.

There was a block in my consciousness that had created this adverse condition and when I heard those simple words, "perfect health is your birthright," I said to myself, "Of course." I knew immediately that my mind had created the condition and that my mind could un-create it and restore my perfect health. Today, I am well beyond 40 years old and do enjoy perfect health.

The real self, the eternal perfect self, was revealed to me and the body just naturally corrected itself. The human mind, or ego, just melted away and in that moment of healing I discovered the real me that was healthy and free.

Not only was my health restored, but I was not really the same person anymore. I realized my thoughts had been transformed. Nothing was the same.

The friends that I had and people I met for the next few days looked like puppets on strings as I talked to them and watched them interacting. It felt like I had lost some sort of a buffer, that before, had kept me from seeing the mechanical-ness of the human personality. Everything in nature looked exceptionally beautiful.

I moved back to the East Coast because I felt I needed to disconnect from the people and place I was living in, in order to contemplate what I had experienced. I studied the healings recorded in the Bible. Certain passages seemed to be illuminated as I read them. I felt like a waterfall was flowing through the inside of my body when I meditated. I began to have revelations about things that had happened and saw that my old way of thinking had created many problems and I was shown how my beliefs were creating all my experiences. It was like waking up from a dream. The old me was disappearing and a new me was being born.

How You Can Shift

Anyone can experience a healing and anything can be healed. We are what we believe we are. The shift takes place when we are tired of our old way of being. Because my fear was so great and because my aversion to surgery was also great I set myself up for an instantaneous healing. There was really no other option.

There is a light switch within each of us that we can flip on anytime we need it. This switch is the path to freedom. Fear based thinking brings us pain and suffering. Love based thinking brings us freedom and health. This a why it is called radical thinking - a radical change or shift must occur.

I believe I was ultimately led to becoming a Silva UltraMind Instructor because I recognized that the system Jose Silva developed is a tool that people can use to facilitate just that sort of radical change for themselves.

Everyday in everyway, I'm getting better and better. How about you?
