ADVANCED CHAKRA HEALING: Cancer - The Four Pathways Approach to Shift Healing  ADVANCED CHAKRA HEALING: Cancer - The Four Pathways Approach to Shift Healing (Code #RWB0227)

Cyndi Dale

Cyndi Dale introduces her revolutionary Four Pathways chakric method and goes where no alternative healer has gone before. Using the chakras, the points of light energy in our bodies that act as doors to different layers of awareness, she describes how to approach cancer through material, supernatural, magical, and love pathways. Followed one at a time or all at once, these pathways offer an alternative to a solely physical application of traditional Western medicine. In this book about shifting the way we think about and live with illness, Cyndi Dale presents an entirely new process of healing by embracing wholeness.

CANCER AS A TURNING POINT  CANCER AS A TURNING POINT (Code #RFD108)

Lawrence LeShan

Dr. Lawrence LeShan is one of the grand masters of psychology, and the pioneer of psychological intervention for cancer. He is a psychologist who first began working with terminal cancer patients with classic Freudian therapy techniques and openly states, "they all died." LeShan learned that the traditional psychotherapy approach (searching for pathology and its roots) was ineffective. He began to do his own research and noticed that a majority of his clients had lost their enthusiasm for life. They had reached a point where they no longer believed they would be able to achieve the kind of satisfying life they desired. LeShan developed a new approach. It entails helping a person search for what would be a zestful and enthusiastic life, to, as he calls it, "find their song." With this form of therapy, a majority of his terminal clients went into remission or their cancer resolved. Here he offers a wide variety of psychological exercises used in his approach.

Jane Plant & Gill Tidey

The bestselling author of Your Life in Your Hands has now written The Plant Programme, a collection of recipes for fighting breast cancer. Plant developed breast cancer in 1987 and as a scientist was frustrated by the lack of answers on why cancer develops, and what we can do to cure and prevent it. She discovered one startling fact that she couldn't ignore - that 1 in 10 women in the UK will develop breast cancer whereas the incidence in China is just 1 in 10 thousand. From this she went on to study the links between lifestyle and diet and drew some controversial conclusions - most notably she recommended the avoidance of all kinds of dairy produce and the adoption of a largely vegan diet. The Plant Programme is a collection of recipes and dietary advice that follows this approach. Before the recipes the principles behind the diet are explained.

Neil Fiore

Fiore, a psychologist, was himself diagnosed with testicular cancer in 1974. As such, he has unique insight into the questions, fears, and issues confronting the cancer patient. (Only a former cancer patient, for example, would provide such a comprehensive chapter on preparing for and receiving the initial diagnosis.) Once the diagnosis is made, Fiore encourages cancer patients to take an active approach. In clear, reassuring, and jargon-free prose, he shows readers how to become informed about their illness, participate in therapy decisions, establish team relationships with doctors and therapists, practice positive imaging, and share feelings with family and friends. Fiore doesn't sugar-coat his message. There's a chapter on coping with terminal illness and, since cancer is a difficult adversary even for patients who make a complete recovery, his chapters on combating depression, helplessness, and stress are especially valuable. This is a valuable book for cancer patients, their families, and friends.
