New YorkI've enjoyed a good read since my first memories. Since the first time I read The Secret, absolutely everything makes sense.
I found a lump in my breast a few months ago. I started feeling something resting against my arm when I was walking, sitting, or doing anything with my arm at my side. When I examined myself, I found a lump. Geez! I thought, “Well, Rena, time to put up or shut up.”
I have often said placebos work because our brains are so incredibly powerful. We innately have the ability to heal ourselves. I’ve stood on my soapbox and railed against the pharmaceutical industry. Chemo and radiation? Not for me. If something ever happened, poisoning myself would not be the answer. Oh, and I smoke, by the way.
You get the picture.
Well, there I was, holding a lump. It had weight and density and was my own personal bringer of fear.
My immediate reaction was a whole bunch of things like, “You have got to be freakin’ kidding me! Really?” I cried a bit. I allowed some anger. You know, what the !#$@?’! I had been practicing awareness and manifesting for about 20 years, and I just did not see it coming.
I went back to the beginning. I listened to The Greatest Secret daily, Practiced Awareness moment to moment, and deliberately chose my feelings. This was all over the last couple of months. I just became more diligent about returning to Awareness throughout the day.
When I found the lump, I was smoking a pack a day. That was actually progress because about a year ago, I looked up and realized that I had smoked two packs the previous day. I just was not paying attention. So, I started noting the date and time on the inside of the box when I started a pack and consciously slowed down. When I found the lump I decided to get to 1/2 a pack a day. All the while practicing gratitude for my healthy breast along with the rest of my body and mind.
I decided not to check my breast every day. For one thing, I could feel the weight of the lump whether I was standing, sitting, or lying down. I also felt that checking it every day was like saying, “Are we there yet?” to the Universe. I backed off and did the work. Presently, I am listening to The Greatest Secret and The Secret to Money Masterclass. I leave it running and carry the recorder with me. I want the teachings to be my resting thoughts.
I know the practices work because I have manifested many miracles in my life before and after I discovered The Secret. Like many folks, I had been using the law of attraction my whole life. I just did not realize that was what I was doing.
A couple of weeks ago, I was doing a breast check, and I could not find the lump. I checked more thoroughly, and it was there but super tiny. It was almost gone. Gratitude does not even begin to describe the feeling that I felt. I continued to feel the moment in my mind when I would check, and there would be nothing but my breast. I am saying thank you all the way and all the time.
Last week … nothin’! I’m checking right now. Clear! I do not want to say that I can’t keep my hands off my breast. I will just say that I am gratefully affirming the healing. I’m also happy to say I’m down to two cigarettes a day. I take a puff and extinguish it. Presently, one lasts me twelve hours.
I include the smoking info because I know people out there in ‘The Secret-land’ may be ashamed to talk about that particular habit. Cold turkey isn’t my thing, it may not be yours. I went from noticing I’d smoked two packs one day to two cigarettes a day. For me, that’s an ‘atta-girl, you are headed in the right direction’ type of thing.
My main point is that lump scared the !%$% out of me. I knew it was time to walk the talk and actively choose my thoughts, feelings, actions, and outcome beliefs. The Greatest Secret put into words what I had always felt the truth of what we are is really about. I’m eternally grateful. I AM eternal gratitude! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
