Dear Mastectomy Friend!

If you would like to finally avoid the fear of rejection or unattractive to men because of your mastectomy, and stop feeling sorry for yourselves and creating misery to people around you, then this might be the most important letter you'll ever read.

My name is Lea Yekutiel. In February 2000, I was diagnosed with breast cancer and the verdict was Radical Mastectomy.

I am not a professional ad writer, but what I want to share with you is revolutionary exciting. That I just had to sit down and tell you about it. So please bear with me.

Imagine yourself with two fabulous breasts that the nature blessed you with. They are size C cup, but you still don't need to wear bra because they are so beautifully sculptured and nobody can tell if you wear a bra or not. They are your pride and joy of your womanhood. You cherish them. They are a part of your whole being as a woman. This was me when I was in my mid fifties.

One day I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer and the verdict was Radical Mastectomy. Yes, the doctors told me that there were all kinds of option available to me in forms of reconstruction. I believed them; I tried them all over and over again, but the results were fruitless.

"I was left to face the dreaded truth that I have to live with One Breast for the rest of my life. I was crushed, confused. My whole image as a woman was destroyed."

Breast Cancer is one of the most fearsome diseases a woman can face. I was one of many women in this situation.

My worst fears were facing myself every time I looked in the mirror. The mirror doesn't lie.

My new image was not acceptable to me every time I looked in the mirror.

That's where I was six years ago, questioning myself.

Would I be whole woman again?
Would I be desirable to men again?
Would I be able to have intimate relationship with men again?

It took me a while to get over it and I sympathize with what you are going through. I know there are many of us around the world, who live with the same fears I lived with.

That experience inspired me to take action and do something...

And if you don't think what I have to say works, wait until you read my book and hear about the outrageous thing I did in front of 350 strangers

Q. What made you to write a book with such a title as "Making the Breast of It"?
A. Since I lost a breast to mastectomy, it was very traumatic for me. I went through hell with reconstruction which was unsuccessful. I was left with no choice but to make the best of it. As the saying goes "When you get a lemon, make a lemonade".

Q. Why did you choose the subtitle as "Overcoming Fear of Intimacy after Mastectomy"?
A. It's not a secret that men are known for being attracted to women with boobs. As a single woman I was facing the fear of intimacy with men after my own mastectomy. There are many women in my situation around the world, I wanted to relate to them. To let them know that they are not alone in this situation. And help them find some solution to this serious issue. By learning more about themselves, they can learn how to educate and enlighten men about this issue. Since we know that men are more visual and boobs play a big part in sexual encounters.

Q. What inspired you to totally expose your darkest moments?
A. My inspiration came from various reasons. I didn't want the story to be just another breast cancer story. I wanted to tell my story with a fresh slant to look at breast cancer situation. And bring awareness that we women are not only our breast and our sexuality does not depend on having one breast or none.

Q. Where this desire to help other women in your situation came from?
A. I have been around many breast cancer survivors who had difficulties to accept their new image and lived with constant fear. My heart ached for them. I personally became a stronger human being because of my experience. And I want to convey it to other women in my situation. I want to inspire, empower, and encourage other women to never ever give up in fulfilling their sexual desires. Also to remind women that it's their job to educate and enlighten the men about this issue.

Q. Why do you feel you became a stronger human being after your experience?
A. As the saying goes "What does not kill you, make you stronger". This experience helped me to learn a lot about myself. I learned how to tackle obstacles and challenges in life. It helped me to look at life with different perspective. My attitude towards life changed. My priorities in life changed. It helped me to find my mission in life. I learned to become more compassionate to other people. It was a total life change experience for me. As a results, I feel I am a better and stronger person.

OK Lea, What's The Cost For This Incredible Book?

Let's do a quick comparison here. A visit to a psychologist once a week cost $150.00 an hour. Multiply it by 4 weeks equals to $600.00 a month. If you visit the psychologist for the entire year you multiply the $150.00 by 52 weeks it equals to $7800.00.

But I'm NOT going to charge you anything near that price.

You are priceless! But the small investment in yourself is ONLY $19.95 (this is a limited time introductory offer).

Studies and research show natural HRT really works. By using natural progesterone you can expect to experience the following benefits:

1. No risk: Natural to the body with no risky or undesirable side effects. Don't mistake this with synthetic progestins, which are not natural or not found in nature. Studies show they cause harmful side effects which can include, partial loss of vision, birth defects, and breast cancer.

2. Symptoms Vanish: Natural progesterone safely and quickly alleviates symptoms associated with menopause and andropause.

3.Menopause comes naturally:
Progesterone allows you to experience menopause naturally, at your own speed, instead of artificial delays or interferences that drugs and surgery bring about.

4. Home Saliva Testing Available:
Determining the need for progesterone is easy with a simple saliva test that can be administered by you in your own home. Visit http://www.zrtlab.com/ to order your own Saliva test now.

5. Cost Effective:
Natural progesterone can be bought very inexpensively, over the counter in the United States, bypassing the need for a visit to a physician for prescriptions. Be aware that not all progesterone is created equal.Many of the recognized brands are full of fillers, waxes, paraffin by-products, heavy oils and chemicals that can build up in the body as well as clog the pores of the skin, not allowing the progesterone into
the blood stream.

6. It's Safe:
Women from ages 9 to 99 years old can safely use this marvelous hormone. It is also safe for men and can be used as long as necessary.
The name progesterone stands for pro-gestation (for life) hormone. It's so safe it's given to pregnant women to prevent premature birth.

7. Relieves PMS:
Natural progesterone can be used to relieve premenstrual syndrome (PMS) symptoms. Many young teens are finding welcome relief from progesterone
for their own PMS, my own daughter being one of them. No need to suffer through this time of the month while using progesterone.

8. Promotes well-being:
It's has been called the "happy hormone." Most women notice a leveling off of their emotions when they get their progesterone levels up to where they should be, especially if they have struggled with estrogen dominance. Some women actually report a feeling of well-being or euphoria, and state they are back in control of their own emotions.

9. Alleviates stress:
In experiments, progesterone was found to be the basic hormone of adaptation and of resistance to stress. The adrenal glands use it to produce their anti-stress hormones, and when progesterone levels are adequate, they don't have to produce the potentially harmful cortisone. While progesterone deficiency, we produce excessive amounts of cortisone, and high levels of cortisone causes osteoporosis, aging of the skin, damage to brain cells, and the accumulation of fat,especially on the back and belly.

10. Your right of passage as a woman:
Menopause is a natural time in a woman's life and progesterone allows her to experience it naturally, providing her the freedom from the worry that treating with synthetic drugs can being on.

Alcohol and health. Good for you, bad for you. Back and forth the debate rages. Some studies indicate that moderate drinking improves health and extends life (particularly in terms of heart health), whereas other studies indicate it may be implicated in an increased risk of breast cancer for women -- one of the leading causes of cancer death in women around the world. In recent years, there's been some focus on what women can do to decrease their risk of breast cancer -- such as breastfeeding and eating a good diet. But one thing they've been consistently urged to do is stop drinking alcohol. And now new studies may reinforce that conclusion, while at the same time helping shed some light on exactly how alcohol affects the body and raises the risk of breast cancer.

According to findings presented last week at the annual meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research, in San Diego, alcohol, consumed even in small amounts, may significantly increase the risk of breast cancer -- particularly estrogen-receptor/progesterone-receptor positive breast cancer. Further, the findings are supported by a second study that found an association between breast cancer risk and two genes involved in alcohol metabolism.

This topic has greatly impacted much of the population, which include both genders. Men are included because it does impact them, the pain and fear that follows when the grandmother, mother, daughter and sister become sick. Breast ailments can have dire consequences that can become a life and death situation. Every day the media is talking about methods of raising money for the research that is felt necessary to stem the problem of breast cancer. Over the years
breast cancer has been increasing without any understanding of why it is a growing health problem.

Traditional Chinese Medicine has looked at breast ailments and has found that the main causes are emotions, which impact both liver and spleen which in turn transfers the problem to the most sensitive areas being the breasts.

The focus of this chapter is to show the impact when emotions reflect on the health of the breasts.

Emotions cause the block of energy following to the various organs, in the case of breasts the liver and spleen are involved. Through experience I have found that only by balancing the blocked energy in the liver do cysts dissolved and diminished to the point that ultra sound could not pick them up. In the case of suspected cancerous cysts it was necessary to pull the energy of the cyst out and balancing both liver and spleen. The main problem in energy healing is
keeping the balance in the body and the client trying to understand the why that caused the imbalance to occur. The client must get in contact with their emotions and change the attitudes that have caused the energy block.

The responsibility of each one of us is to be in touch with our emotions and let go of the baggage that we accumulate in our everyday lives. The role of each and every one of us has changed over the last 50 years, pressures that were not experienced before have made our lives complicated which our forefathers never had to contend with. Since this chapter is focused on the breasts I shall focus on
that point of which I have said affects all of us.

The everyday wife and mother have become both a career woman and homemaker apart from all other expectation place upon her. Previously her role would have been mother and homemaker, not career woman, chauffer, entertainer etc. Her stressful surroundings and the instability of marriage all
make life more perilous. The risk of having children has increased to the point that if her husband finds life not up to his want he will move on and find another woman. Marriage is not as safe as it used to be where it was a life commitment, so having children and knowing that the raising of then would be with both parents. The question that may be thought of now is how does this affect my
breasts? The answer is based upon the concept that anger, hate, loss are emotions that impact the liver and the immune system which in turn cause the problem with the breasts. The solution to the problem then must be how can the emotions be modified to stop the congestion and blocks that impede the flow of energy to the breasts.

Simplistically the solution is to forgive and let go of the hurt and pain that have boiled inside. This solution sounds easy to say but not easy to do since with most people time has set habits deep into one thought system. What is now needed is a change of attitude towards others that have inflicted hurt and pain.

To let go and forgive are the only answer.

This will take practice; take one step at a time. Remember that each one of us is in control of our lives so therefore it is our responsibility to take control and not to let circumstances dictate what will happen.

I hope you enjoyed reading it and will apply it into your daily life.

With much love,

This news article caught my eye%u2026at first it seemed to be talking about a hormone that regulates your sleeping patterns, then moved on to talk about how it is linked to breast cancer. Melatonin is a hormone secreted by the pineal gland, a tiny gland found in your brain. melatonin acts as a time keeping device, sensing light to regulate sleepiness. This hormone is also related to regulating females menstrual cycles, and thought to be connected to aging.

Scientists found that as people get older, less melatonin is secreted by the glands. they also found that many women breast cancer patients had decreased levels of melatonin, when compared to women who were cancer-free. In a study to find if melatonin is directly linked to breast cancer, lab rats were implanted with breast cancer cells. The cells growths were tracked, under influence of various lighting. the scientists found that when the rats were subjected to constant light, their melatonin levels decreased, and tumor growth sped up. While the rats were exposed to darkness, they and their cancerous cells went to sleep and growth of the cells slowed drastically.

Melatonin can be produced for pharmaceutical reasons, and is often prescribed for insomnia or menopause. One debate on its effects is over dosage. Some worry that there needs to be a "safe" dosing found for human use. Others counter that, claiming that there is no toxicity, and the worst side effect would be increased sleepiness. Supplements containing melatonin are sometimes used in breast cancer cases, and in one study women who took these supplements, 28% saw tumor shrinkage.

From my experience as breast cancer survivor, laughter has tremendous power on healing. Laughter is the grease that keeps the wheels of our life running smoothly.

My breast cancer taught me so much about laughter. Laughter has been called "the best medicine" - and for good reason - a good dose of deep, heartfelt laughter can help pull you through some of the worst times in your life. In my case it was during my mastectomy as a result of breast cancer. Being able to laugh at it just makes it easier.

Some breast cancer patient healed themselves, just by watching funny movies and comedy shows.

Laughter is so good for us, both physically and emotionally. It strengthens our immune system, improves our cardiovascular health, tones and relaxes our muscles, reduces depression and anxiety, boosts our productivity and creativity, and does a whole lot more good to our being.

Laughing is a great healer and I want to share with you how much. Think of Bob Hope and George Burns. They lived longer than most by using their God-given talent for humor to anchor them in their life. Laughter is a big key to our health. Laughter has a way of making problems melt away. It lets us know just how ridiculous we are. Comedians are so sought after by people because innately we know the healing effect they have on us.

Quite simply, laughing makes us feel good.

So why not En-lighten up a little?

Can you laugh at yourself and at things that have happened in your life??

A recent study found that 5-year old children laugh up to 400 times a day! In this case it's the kids who can teach us a thing or two! So, start counting how often you laugh!

I used a lot of laughter to ease the pain during my breast cancer.

Let's develop our own humor and laughter muscles... right now!

Are You Ready?

Here are some empowering questions you can ask yourself on a daily basis:

1. How many things can I notice today that are truly funny?
2. Who can I make smile right now?
3. What tense situation can I look back on and laugh about them?
4. Whom can I call on the phone that can laugh with me?
5. How many people I made to laugh today?

Good humor is tonic for the mind and body. It is the best antidote for anxiety and depression. It is a business asset. It attracts and keeps friends. It lightens human burdens. It is the direct route to serenity and contentment."
-Grenville Kleiser

I call my challenge with breast cancer a "blessing in disguise".

You probably ask yourselves, how could breast cancer be a blessing in disguise?

Actually, there is a simple answer to that question. Since I believe that everything that happens to us, there is a lesson we have to learn from it. In my encounter with breast cancer, I learned tremendous things I was not aware about them before.

My experience with breast cancer helped me change my outlook towards life. My perspective towards life changed, and my priorities have all changed for the better. I don't take life for granted anymore. I learned to live in the moment. I also realized that when I live in the present moment, life is wonderful. However, problems usually arise when I live in the past or in the future. That's why I enjoy living in the moment. My life is fuller and richer now. I appreciate every moment, consciously making decisions that correspond with how I want to feel in the moment. I make time to take a walk every morning, smell the roses, listen to the birds chirping, talk to my plants, and listen to the silence. Most of all, I feel precious life all around me.

It may sound like a cliché to call my breast cancer a blessing in disguise. However, many times I wonder if my life would have been as rich as it is today if I hadn't traveled on this path. It's a journey that has been enriched by many courageous people especially courageous women.

With much Love and Laughter,

My breast cancer was a big lesson on how to live happily every moment I am on planet earth, because nobody knows what tomorrow may bring.

We tend to convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married, have a baby, then another, get a new job, get a new house, etc, etc, etc. Then, we are frustrated that the kids aren't old enough and we will be more content when they are. The truth is, there is no better time to be happy than right now!

My breast cancer was a big challenge for me, but it also taught me among other things that happiness is living in the moment.

Our lives will always be filled with challenges. It's best to admit this to ourselves and decide to be happy anyway and right now. Because happiness it's not waiting for anyone and if you didn't live it in the moment, it will be gone.

Treasure every moment that you have and treasure it more because you shared it with someone special, special enough to spend your time with.

And remember that time waits for no one! Wake up and smell the coffee, smell the roses. Life is happening right now.

So, stop waiting!

....until summer
....until fall
....until winter
....until spring
....until you die!

There is no better time than right now to be happy.

After my breast cancer I Made a conscious decision and chose To Be Happy today and in every moment of my life!

Really take a moment and digest this topic, it could change your life.

What are you waiting for? What has to happen before you can pronounce yourself happy?

It's true that circumstances change in our life, but circumstances are normal occurrences for us to grow as human beings. So, if circumstances aren't keeping us from being happy, then what could it be? What could be the key factor in filling our life with joy?

The process is the road you travel while pursuing your purpose in life. In other words, it's the road you travel --- paved by whatever you believe in.

Look forward to your travels along the way. Think about the interesting people you meet and get to know, or the great places you get to travel to, or the interesting things you find out about yourself that you never knew.

That's the quality of life. When you sit back and reflect upon your life, you can say I feel fulfilled I have no regrets in my life. Life will be better when you finally surrender.

Surrender to that little voice inside of you that knows what's best for you. Way down deep in your gut are all the answers you could ever want and need. Sharpen your gut feelings.

Don't fight the feelings; learn to laugh about it along the way.

"There is no duty we underrate as the duty of being happy. By being happy we sow anonymous benefits upon the world."

During my journey through my breast cancer, enlightenment and spiritual growth, I noticed that most of the time when I was stressed out, worried, or unhappy, I was in the past or the future, which means "not in the moment". I also noticed that if I brought my attention back to the present, the pain of having breast cancer, the stress, the worry, and the unhappiness disappeared almost immediately.

My breast cancer taught me how to live in the moment.

This "living in the moment" idea may not be new to you since it has been talked about in the "spiritual" literature for many years. What I am suggesting, however, is different from most literature in one very important way. Instead of the "idea" of living in the moment, I started "act on" living in the moment! That what's so exciting about it!

Every time I had my attention on my breast cancer, I simply moved my attention from the past to an environment where I passionately lived in the present without an attachment to specific results. I decided to live this way because I wanted to, not because I was afraid the past will repeat itself. Every moment I live is a "new unit of time." As soon as I understood the concept "new unit of time," I always remembered to live in the moment.

"He that never changes his opinions, never corrects his mistakes, will never be wiser on the tomorrow than he is today."
--Tryon Edwards

The transition process may be tough at the beginning, but you are tougher! With practice and believe in your self, it will become second nature.

Some years ago, I lived in Montecito, California at my spiritual Masters' home for 6 months. She had a dog-named Sugar. Sugar was very friendly and playful. She would come to my car to greet me when I came home. In the mornings, I would find her stretched out right next to my bed. Basically, we had a great relationship. Sugar was a member of the family. We even threw a birthday party for her with cake and birthday hats!

But, circumstances brought me back to LA. I did not get the chance to visit Sugar for a while. A couple of months passed by, before I got the chance to drive up to Montecito again.

I was extremely disappointed when Sugar didn't great me when I arrived. She didn't show any signs of recognition. She totally ignored me like I did not exist in her world. Sugar's behavior did not make sense to me.

All kind of thoughts were going through my head.

Is it possible that she totally forgot me?
Is she suffering from Alzheimer's disease?
Are dog's susceptible to Alzheimer's disease like human beings?

I was crashed. My feelings were hurt.

Then, all of a sudden, a light bulb went through my head. I looked at her and realized that she was "living in the moment." The past did not exist for her!

Wow! What a revelation! Sugar living in the moment! What a wonderful way to live! Living in the moment is the ultimate way to live.

I felt this twinge in my heart. I actually felt jealous of her capability to be able to live in the moment, and for just a little while, I actually wanted to be a dog in order to have that capability!

I was in the state of "Ah ha!!" with this realization. My mind was running a thousand miles a second. I was thinking to myself that if Sugar could live in the moment, why couldn't I live the same way?

There was this serious dialog going in my head between my conscious mind and my subconscious mind.

And then, this brilliant idea crossed my mind. "Wait a second; wait a second," I told myself. "If a dog can live in the moment, why can't I live in the moment as a human being?"

It was at that moment that I changed my state of mind and adapted the notion of "living in the moment."

I love living in the moment! It does not mean that the past does not exist. The past does exist, but I don't let it to control my life in the NOW.

To paraphrase Eckhart Tolle who said "Realize deeply that the present moment is all you ever have".

With much Love, Laughter and Living in the Moment,

I always wondered if my breast cancer was a result of negative attitude that I had in my life in the past. At that time I also learned that:

My attitude determines my altitude.

My altitude is not determined by my aptitude, but by my attitude.

I also learned not to underestimate the fact that my attitude is the key to any success in my life.

I Don't underestimate that I have all the power and own the key to change my future.

The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on my life. I believe that my breast cancer was a result of negative attitude that I carried with me for many years.

Attitude to me is more important than facts.
It is more important than the past.
It's more important than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do.
It is more important than appearance, or skill.

Attitudes can make or break families, relationships, and health. The remarkable thing is that we have the choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day, for that incident, for every moment in our life.

Can we change the past? No.

Can we change the fact that other people will act in a certain way? No.

But we can change our attitudes, which will ultimately affect our life.

To paraphrase Maya Angelou who said:

"If you don't like something change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude. Don't complain."

So I decided not to complain about my breast cancer, but instead to accept it and embrace it as part of me.

"Human beings, by changing the inner attitudes of their minds, can change the outer aspects of their lives."
--William James

What would you do if you were in my situation?

As a breast cancer survivor myself, I know the power of practicing gratitude has over my well-being. In one of my seminars the assignment for that day was to make a list of beliefs that each one of us has that have tremendous effect on our lives depending if the belief is enhancing our life or sabotaging it.

During my breast cancer and mastectomy I constantly practiced gratefulness. And I still practice it about anything that happens in my life.

This lady let's call her Debby had a big list written on a piece of paper. When I asked her to talk about one of those believes that she feels have a big effect on her life, her answer was: Scarcity. When I asked her to be more specific about what kind of scarcity she was talking about. This was her answer: Let's take for example that somebody took a drop of water from the ocean, it will create scarcity. Who will replace that drop of water? I asked her: who do you think created the ocean? The universe created it and therefore the universe will replace it, because there is no scarcity of any kind in the universe. Scarcity is human beings creation. You can take as many drops of water from the ocean as you like; the ocean doesn't care.

Why am I telling you this story? The reason is that I would like to tell you about, "The Power of Gratitude." If Debby knew The Power of Gratitude and knew how to be grateful for what she already had, the word scarcity would not even cross her mind and she would not experience any scarcity.
We as human beings, have tenancy to take everything in our life for granted, until something drastic or unexpected occurs in our life.

My advice to Debby was, whenever she feels lack or scarcity in anything she should just shift her thoughts from feeling of scarcity to feeling of Gratitude. She should concentrate and focus on what she already has.

As a breast cancer survivor I practice "gratitude" on a daily basis. Being grateful is important in every aspect of your life. Gratitude is also important in making yourself feel better about yourself.

I practice gratitude every day about everything that crosses my path. So should you because it will create miracles in your life.

Because being grateful for anything you will attract more of it. This is one of universal principles!

Isn't what you want more of; Good Fortune, Health, Wealth and Freedom!

So, be grateful for 5 different things that you presently have in your life. Do it on a daily basis.
Remember, just saying the words would not do it. You really have to feel it with every fiber of your being.

After a while you will feel the change in your life.
"First, you believe that there is one intelligent substance, from which all things proceed. Second, you believe that this substance gives you everything you desire. And third, you relate yourself to it by a feeling of deep and profound gratitude."

When I had my breast cancer I was totally alone. I craved for love, for human touch, instead of sterile and cold hospital rooms. I needed to be connected to something stable to keep me going. I knew that everyone is part of the Planet Earth and connected with the animal and plant kingdoms, as well as the spirit kingdoms. And that everything vibrates at a specific frequency. All of life is energy, and that is how people connect with each other and to all other life that exists on Earth - and with what many call God.

During my breast cancer I felt I was lacking the self love connection with my spirit. Therefore, my life was out of balance. Also I learned that when people do not love themselves, their energy is out of balance. They actually end up blocking the flow of energy that normally comes through them, and that energy is powerful.

Imagine a direct line that comes out from you, connecting you to the Universal Power. That is how we all connected to the universe. We are an inseparable part of the creative Universal Mind. We project our thoughts onto this omnipotent power, and cause this tremendous power to act on our behalf. The Universal Mind collaborates with us in creating our life. Each thought action and event in the universe are connected and constantly influencing each other. Each thought and action causes reactions and consequences repercussions.

Imagine trying to block the flow of water going down a great waterfall. That water, like this energy of which we speak, creates great resistance to being blocked. This same resistance occurs when people hold onto anger, or when they feel afraid. They block the natural flow of energy, and it causes their lives to become out of balance. When this energy is blocked people get sick.

Breast cancer is good example of the block of natural flow of energy.

When enough people live their lives out of balance, the puzzle falls apart.

All of society becomes out of balance. It is like the line of dominos, when one of them falls, the rest of them fall also.

When people are blocking the actual flow of energy, they feel like they are not part of a grand design, that their life is not significant and that they are not vital and beautiful beings. When they see themselves as "not fitting in" or being different, they become fearful, which takes them out of harmony with the whole puzzle.

The amount of fear they experience is directly proportional to how far out of balance their lives are, which in turn depends on the degree to which they are blocking this natural flow of energy.

LOVE is the energy of which we speak about.

Too often people who do not love themselves try to find love from others. They do not realize that nobody else can make them happy or even give them the feeling of love that they so desperately seek. It all has to come from within. We need to know that each person has a unique role to play, to fulfill his/her part of the puzzle, so that everyone loves himself/herself and each other unconditionally.

With my Unconditional Love to You,

The first signals I received about my breast cancer were through my intuition.

What is intuition? As the Oxford dictionary quotes, 'the ability to understand or know something immediately, without conscious reasoning.'

The word intuition comes from the Latin intueri, meaning to consider, look on. This intuitive "look on" implies something deeper than simple awareness and is best described as PERCEPTION, the ability to "take hold of" knowledge in one glance.

My breast cancer discovery definitely fits the definition of intuition.

Webster's Unabridged Dictionary sums up intuition as "the immediate knowing or learning of something without the conscious use of reasoning; instantaneous apperception."

Simply stated, intuition is direct knowledge.

Many may consider it a sixth sense, a second sight, or a form of clairvoyance; others would just prefer to call it 'common-sense'.

Intuition comes in the form of a hunch, feeling, inkling, suspicion, premonition, or gut feeling. It is all these and more.

Quoting C.G. Jung: "The term intuition does not denote something contrary to reason, but something outside of the province of reason."

One consideration is that intuition is a tool that uses the knowledge you have in both your conscious and subconscious minds.

Most people have had instances where they said, "I should have gone with my instinct." Wow! The very implication is that intuition has a huge value.

One of the more famous philosophers on this subject, Baruch Spinoza, is quoted as saying:

"Intuition is the highest form of knowledge, surpassing both empirical knowledge derived from the senses and scientific knowledge derived from reasoning on the basis of experience."

Another philosopher, Henri Bergson, regarded intuition as the 'purest form of instinct.' Bergson also said that, "intelligence on the other hand can only over analyze; and this analysis is suspect in some individuals."

Here is what Albert Einstein has to say about intuition: "The really valuable thing is intuition. The intellect has little to do on the road to discovery. There comes a leap in consciousness, call it intuition or what you will, and the solution comes to you and you don't know how or why."

After reading this array of definitions of the word intuition and quotes from many known philosopher about the word intuition, I feel that it is a shame that we do not rely more on our intuition.

So, what is your intuition about this subject? In my humble opinion, I feel that injustice has been done by the society for not adapting our intuition as one of our highest senses.

How unfortunate, that intuition, an awesome gift that we all are blessed with naturally is misused sense.

It is not secret that people who lack one of the five senses that we recognize in our society as; see, touch, feel, test and speak, their sense of intuition sharpens. They rely more on their sense of intuition.

The way I discovered my breast cancer was through my intuition, knowingness. I did not discover it by any of the other senses because I did not have any of the symptoms of the five senses.

The more important is the fact that the more we use our intuition the sharper it gets.

Do not deny your intuition; rely upon it!

My breast cancer was instrumental to changing the blueprint of my life.

Each of us has a personal blueprint already ingrained in our subconscious mind and this blueprint will determine our destiny in all areas of our life.

So what is a blueprint? Consider the blueprint for a house. The blueprint is a preset plan or design for that particular home.

In the same way, your "blueprint" is simply a preset program or way of being in relation to anything in your life. And through the manifestation formula, your blueprint manifests your thoughts to reality.

Your blueprint is like a thermostat. If the temperature in the room is 68 degrees, chances are good the thermostat is set for 68 degrees.

It was during my breast cancer period, when I realized that I could change my blueprint through changing my thoughts and my attitude towards life, I was able to raise it to 75 degrees.

So, what do you think will happen if you raise the thermostat to 75 degrees?

Chances are that you set your blueprint to higher frequencies that will translate/transform the manifestation of your thoughts to reality faster. The reason is because; you raised the level of your consciousness by raising the thermostat of your blueprint.

To paraphrase Roger Crawford who said; "You are both playwright and star of your life script. You can change the characters and scenes, and even rewrite the ending!"

That's exactly what I am working on to rewrite the script of my life to higher consciousness.

Breast cancer was consuming my life, when one day, I received a phone call from a girlfriend who was in a process of getting divorced from her husband after 30 years of marriage. After listening to her complaints for 30 minutes, she declared, "I will never forgive him" for this, "I will never forgive him" for that. I was wondering if she was aware that I had breast cancer and had to forgive my doctors who mistreated me.

Now, I could totally understand her frustration. However, what I could not understand was: What is she trying to accomplish, by declaring, "I will never forgive him. Is she trying to punish him by holding grudges forever? If she wants to hold grudges and not forgive him, whom is she hurting? She is definitely not hurting him because he does not know anything about it.

So, who is really getting hurt if she does not forgive him? Yes, you are right. She is hurting herself and only herself. If I did not forgive my doctors for their misconduct during my breast cancer and mastectomy who would suffer the doctors or me.

Many people think that to forgive someone is to say, "What you did to me is OK". When we choose to forgive, we are simply letting go of our end of the chain that keeps us enslaved to the past and bound to that person and whatever happened. By forgiving, we are taking our focus off a crippling vision, in my case my breast cancer, and replacing it with what we desire to create.

Breast cancer doctors admit that some cancer patient could get well on a physical level and survive, but they die anyway because they have unresolved forgiveness issues in their lives.
By choosing to forgive and respond with love rather than fear--we free ourselves. We sweep away the years of built-up sludge that jam up the channels through which abundance of every kind flows, and we move more firmly into our power to manifest that peaceful, prosperous world we want to live in.

Forgiving is something that a person does for himself and not for somebody else.

With much Love and Forgiveness,

Breast cancer is one of the nightmares and scary issue to women as well as to men. It is devastating for women to loss their breast and have mastectomy. To women their breast is the most visible part of their femininity. They feel if they lost their breast to breast cancer, they are not whole women anymore.

Breast cancer has the same effect on men. They feel if a woman had breast cancer or mastectomy, that she probably lost her womanhood and her sexuality.

We know that these assumptions of women and men about breast cancer are both false. However, these beliefs are so deeply rooted in our subconscious mind that we have to unlearned them and replace them with more beliefs that are positive.

You probably ask yourself how you can change these deeply rooted negative beliefs. Alternatively how you can change any belief!

You know how important it is to watch what you say to yourself. What kind of words you use in your daily speaking or even thinking. Some portion of your brain believes every word that you and others send to it. What you can do is to be aware about what you say to yourself or others. Be aware of your thoughts. Do you have negative thoughts or positive thoughts?

After you become aware about where your thoughts are leading you, you can change them. It takes about 30 days of creating new patterns for you to be able to form a new belief or habit.

These new habits creations are called "Affirmations." You must say things over and over again to yourself in the form of a positive for about thirty straight days, so that you create these new lifetime beliefs and "new roads" in your brain. This is the foundation for changing your beliefs about anything, including your beliefs about breast cancer.

Breast cancer can heal faster when using a simple feeling exercise as appreciation.

Breast cancer is very traumatic to any woman who experienced it.

We human beings have tenancy to take our body and its functionality for granted until something drastic happen to us like breast cancer.

There is a powerful force within each one of us, which you can use to overcome any obstacles, no matter how bad the situation is even something as devastating as breast cancer. Once you know how powerful this force is and how it works, you will never have to worry about anything in your life, no fears, no worries, and no anxieties. Life becomes an easy and fulfilling process. You start to enjoy your life; you start to enjoy every moment of your existence.

Are you getting excited about knowing what this power is?

The powerful force that I am talking about is "The power of appreciation. "

Yes, it is the power of appreciation. If you want to heal your life of any illness, you have to know the power of appreciation, and you have to know how it works, and live by it. This is a simple secret weapon that you can use to win the battle over your life. No matter how bad your current circumstances are, even when you battle with breast cancer. Do not let its simplicity fool you. Just this one simple idea will completely change your life.

Ok, let me make a clear statement, let it enter your subconscious mind. "No matter what circumstance you encounter, no matter what situation you are in, you always have the choice of finding something to appreciate in it, and you can immediately change your point of attraction at that moment!"

Remember, the quality of your life is determined by the quality of this moment. You have a choice in every moment. You can choose to feel depressed and unhappy, or you can choose to find something to appreciate, and change your point of attraction immediately.

For example, during my ordeal with breast cancer, I always appreciated the fact that my breast cancer did not metastasized. I appreciated that I was still alive and well. I appreciate the fact that I can write you about it now.

There are so many ways to express appreciation for what you have right now. I bet you can find gazillion ways to appreciate about your life.

With much appreciation, joy and laughter,

Breast cancer can be one of the causes of un-forgiveness.

Forgiveness helped me heal my breast cancer much faster than anything else.

Generally speaking, it is easier to forgive others than forgiving ourselves for our own mistakes. The best way to learn how to forgive yourself is to make a list of everything that you think you did from minor mistakes to bigger mistakes. Then forgive yourself. Some people cured themselves of breast cancer just by forgiving.

You probably ask yourself, how to do the forgiveness process.

Please follow the below steps in order to forgive.

1. Just like me, this person is seeking happiness in her/his life.
2. Just like me, this person has known sadness, loneliness, and despair.
3. Just like me, this person is trying to avoid suffering in her/his life.
4. Just like me, this person is learning about life.

While doing the exercise, put yourself in their situation and imagine feeling how they are feeling. In addition to that, repeat the following statements to yourself:

A. I now release all the negative energy that influenced my life and forgive those people who harmed me.
B. I choose to live in divine inspiration.
C. I am grateful for divine inspiration.

Release any negative energy and let it drain out into the Universe.

You can use the same procedure forgiving yourself. But this time you use it on your list that you made earlier.

You will be surprised how lighter you will feel afterwards.

The benefits of forgiveness are too numerous to mention. However, here are some fundamental benefits:

Accelerated healing, both emotionally and physically
Relief from stiffness and chronic pains
Relief from depression and resentment
Increase in physical strength
Stress reduction
Immune system booster
Better digestion
More positive outlook
Increase awareness and intelligence
More energy, more control (physically and mentally)
Relief from self-sabotaging
More restful sleep
Longer life
Increased happiness
Faster reaction time
Friendlier, more tolerant
More successful
Ability to establish new relationships
Peace of mind
A NEW LIFE

Could you benefit from any of these? Of course, you could! The pathway to getting these benefits is through forgiveness.

"Trusting your intuition means tuning in as deeply as you can to the energy you feel, following that energy moment to moment, trusting that it will lead you where you want to go and bring you everything you desire."
- Shakti Gawain

As I sat in a lounge chair outside a house on the top of a mountain overlooking the Pacific Ocean, breezes whispered on my skin. I was surrounded by a riot of flowers: deep red roses, yellow lilies, pink cherry blossoms, orange birds of paradise, sunflowers, carnations, tulips, daisies, daffodils, and gardenias. The scent of a nearby avocado orchard drifted toward my nose.

On this sunny summer afternoon, I was on a Spiritual Quest at a retreat center in the small town of Montecito near Santa Barbara, California.

Although I may have looked lazy sitting in my lounge chair, I was actively meditating, practicing spiritual exercises to shed excess baggage and eliminate beliefs that didn't serve me anymore. I wanted to reach a state of clarity.

Normally, when I did spiritual exercises, I enjoyed a state of euphoria, my mind clear, my spirit light; nothing bothered me. Yet, as I soaked in this natural beauty, usually so restorative, I felt a dark cloud covering me. A negative and oppressive vibration was clinging to my body, mostly on my left side. I looked around but couldn't see anything. I felt strange.

In an attempt to rid myself of this unsettling feeling, I gestured to push this vibration away. "Get away from me! Get away," I said out loud for no one but the flowers to hear.

The dark cloud persistently enveloped me. How could I attract this negative vibration on such a beautiful day in these magnificent surroundings? It was perplexing. I attempted to ignore the weird feeling and continued my spiritual exercises, but I couldn't concentrate. Like a tongue probing a painful tooth, my mind kept wandering back to the vibration.

A half-hour later-still unable to explain this strange experience-I felt tingling on the upper part of my left breast. Was my Higher Self trying to tell me something? If so, what?

Next, I tried "discreation," a way to uncreate unwanted or undesirable feelings that don't serve me anymore. The discreation process involves three steps.

1. I concentrate on a particular image of anger or sadness from my past that still disturbs me. I experience deep inside how that image feels
from every angle. I stay with that image until I
reach its edges.

2. I let the image dissolve.

3. I disassociate or disconnect from that image.

After taking these three steps, the image
just disappears, but this time, the discreation
process I had always relied on didn't work.
I still couldn't concentrate.

Did I create my breast cancer consciously? This question occupied my mind for some time. So, I put all my energy into finding the answer. Here are some of my findings.

Breast cancer is created by each one of us consciously, even though we would not like to admit it.

Each of us has a conscious mind and a subconscious mind.

Generally speaking, it is the nature of our conscious mind to be literal, rational, logical, serious, and negative. It tends to resist positive messages, such as, "I am healthy," and "I am breast cancer free." It is here where early childhood messages are stored such as, "You will never amount to anything." You may not even be aware of these thoughts. No matter how much you try to reprogram these negative messages on a conscious level, the emotional imprints are so deep that negative beliefs will prevail.

Our conscious mind uses common sense and analyzes the information it receives, and organizes it into a logical framework. It goes into a mode of trying to "figure out" every thought, idea, or any creation we come up with.

Sometimes these functions of our conscious mind are helpful, but other times they can sabotage our dreams, stopping them from being fulfilled. Our conscious mind is source of doubt and has a negative mental attitude.

So, is it possible that we create our breast cancer consciously, by having a negative mental attitude towards our life?

Was your breast cancer created consciously? Give this idea some thought and find out how your breast cancer manifested in your life.

Our subconscious mind, on the other hand, is a source of faith and has a positive mental attitude.

"The mind is like a monkey swinging from branch to branch through the forest. In order not to lose sight of the monkey, we must watch the monkey constantly and even be one with it."

Breast cancer and your subconscious mind - is there a correlation between them?

Breast cancer can be created through our subconscious mind.

It has been proven over the last 50 years through many studies and reports that the subconscious mind is able to absorb information that the conscious mind is not focusing on. In fact, in many cases, it can absorb more when it does focus on it!

The nature of our subconscious mind is to be more Positive, Playful, and Visual. The Creative, Intuitive Mind is less discriminating. It absorbs information without questions or analysis. It simply doesn't have the capacity of calculation.

Let's go back to the concept of the thought being a seed, because it is imperative to clearly understand the importance of what actually transpires.

Does it mean that your breast cancer is a result of seeds that were planted in your subconscious mind through your thoughts?

Every thought is a seed at the conceptual level. When a seed is planted in fertile soil (feelings already established) this seed (thought/feeling) will then - depending upon prior programming and the intensity of the feeling --- create a re-action to that thought/feeling, or create the physical expression of that thought/feeling.

If so, is your breast cancer the physical expression of that thought/feeling in the paragraph above.

Now we have, as it commonly known, an emotion. This emotion then becomes a living vibration, which fertilizes that seed/soil (thought/feeling), and we begin to grow our crop of effects (conditions in our life). In other words, thoughts and feelings create an emotion that causes effects.

Are you with me?

Now, I am thinking maybe my breast cancer is the cause of the seed that fertilized through my thoughts and feelings, way before it manifested in my life physically.

Any word or piece of data chosen by our conscious mind establishes images within our subconscious mind. If we think in a positive manner, visualize what we want, and dare to dream we will get whatever we want.

"The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift."

Breast cancer changed my life in many ways. The biggest and the most important change was that I discovered my purpose in life, which is to be in service to other women in my situation.

My breast cancer motivated me to write the book "Making the Breast of It" with a subtitle "Overcoming Fear of Intimacy after Mastectomy".

The reason I wrote this book was to inspire, empower, encourage, to-give hope and heal the many wounds that breast cancer survivors experience in various aspects of their lives.

Loosing a breast to breast cancer is the most traumatic and fearsome experience a woman can face. Breasts for women are one of the symbolic of their womanhood, and when it's taken away from them, they don't feel a whole woman anymore. The biggest fear is how men would react towards them after mastectomy. This fear is only on the psychological level, because women are as viable sexual being as before their breast cancer. They are whole women in every aspect. Unfortunately, many men feel that women with breast cancer or mastectomy are not women anymore. This notion about women from the men point of view is totally false. These men are usually misinformed or have misconception about this issue.

Fortunately, not all men live with this misconception about women, and many of them are very supportive and have great understanding of the issue.

Women with breast cancer can be as sexual and intimate with men as before they had to face this dreaded disease.

I feel it us the women who have the task to educate those men about our condition.

So, let's roll up our sleeves and get to work of educating men!

With all my Love and Laughter,

Breast cancer is one of the reasons of negative energy and stressful environment we live in. All energy that we produce - every positive or negative thought every daydream or deliberate visualization, any good or bad vibes - is registered in our subconscious mind. Everything in the Universe is energy. We see differences because each object has a different wavelength and density.

I know that my breast cancer was result of living in a negative energy environment. We live in an ocean of energy. Each wave in this ocean influences the other Waves. Thoughts, as part of this body of energy, work with the creative Universal energy and interact with it.

When a person gets sick, any kind of sickness even breast cancer, the person's life is out of balance. The root of the imbalance is often something emotional, such as the person holding onto fear or anger, which is negative energy.

I can hear you say to your self, "What kind of fear?"

The answer is, "It can be any kind of fear."

Let us start by exploring the fear of not being loved.

This specific fear - of not being loved - touches a lot of us. Many of us have been
brought up to believe that if we want to be loved by the people who count in our
lives, we have to do what they do or what they expect us to do in order to deserve their love.

Self-love and self-acceptance for just the way we are, each with our uniqueness and individuality, were not tools used by most of our parents.

So many people need to work through this issue of self-love.

Each person is infinitely valuable. Without his/her piece of the puzzle functioning in harmony with the rest, the whole puzzle does not work.

That is another reason to look at why every person needs to love himself/herself - so the puzzle can be put together and function as a whole.

"Every action of our lives touches on some chord that will vibrate in eternity."

During my ordeal with breast cancer I learned many things. One of them was the power of a smile and its effect on my life. Whenever I found myself needing to break away from my feelings of worry, sadness, fear, doubt, anger, hurt or any negative emotions, I always knew that it's time just to STOP what I was thinking about for a moment and SMILE.

Breast cancer can teach us many things if we are willing to look at it with a little smile.

You can do that too you know. It's really OK. You can STOP just for a moment, no body's going to be mad at you or holler at you. Just stop what you are thinking for a moment.

In fact try this, stop what you are thinking and smile but do it without expressing it with a facial smile, just Think Smile and then, notice what you are Feeling.

Think smile!

Be aware of what you are feeling.

OK, now actually smile let your face open up.

Be aware what you are feeling, anybody laughing?

No, not now I mean before I asked the question.

OK, another question.

Who said you can't feel that feeling while you are dealing with life? Who said that?

Answer.

YOU DID

When? you ask.

The moment you lost connection to who you are as FEELINGS.

Well when did that happen? A voice inside your head ask.

The moment feeling became a word instead of an AWARENESS.

MEANINGFUL INFORMATION. Put this in a safe place.

A Smile Feeling will solve any and all other feelings YOU'VE CREATED.

Stop: Read that again.

And guess what? It's flowing through you all the time.

Smile feeling never changes it's FEELING.

Just because you are not connected or aware of it doesn't mean it's not there.

Trust me when I tell you that you will never ever connect to it and find any other FEELING.

With much Love, Laughter and lots of Smile Feeling,

P.S. Do you ever giggle? A giggle is like a bubble of joy coming out of your heart. Have you ever noticed the light, happy, feeling that comes from giggling? Have you ever watched little children giggle? They are so full of joy and happiness when they are giggling. When someone starts to giggle it changes the whole energy to one of joy? I bet you are smiling

My breast cancer changed everything in my life. My perspective to reality changed. My priorities in life changed.

Reality is what we believe in our mind to be true. First we believe it, and then we perceive it as our reality. If we believe in something strongly enough it becomes our reality.

When I was battling with breast cancer, my breast cancer became to be my reality.

For generations and generations, our parents, grandparents, teachers, and every one else who had great influence in molding our life, have indoctrinated us to believe in certain things.

Here is a short story to demonstrate how beliefs were created, so you can understand what I mean.

This lady was trimming her rose bushes all the way to the bottom of the stem. Her daughter asked her why was she trimming the roses all the way to the bottom. The lady answered, "Because my mother used to do so."

So, they went to the grandmother and asked her the same question. The grandmothers' answer was that her mother used to do so. When the great-grandmother was asked the same question, she said, because the pot was small.

You see, one person's action, turned into a 4-generation belief. And that's what I call mass conscious belief.

There are many different realities, beliefs, cultures, and traditions in the world. But we are all connected to one universal power. Our beliefs are the only thing that separates us.

The writing of this article is the result of me believing in myself. That, in turn, created the magic in my life. Even my breast cancer did not stop me from expressing myself.

"Thoughts lead on to purposes; purposes go forth in action; actions form habits;
habits decide character; and character fixes our destiny."
