The Journey


Once you learn what the disease or physical block has to teach you and you finally let go of the emotional issues stored in the cells, then, and only then, can real healing begin on all levels - emotional, spiritual and physical.

Brandon Bays

I'm reading a book at the moment called 'The Journey' by Brandon Bays. In short, she was diagnosed with a basketball-sized tumour in her stomach and required immediate surgery. However, just six weeks later she was given a clean bill of health without a trace of the tumour, and with no medical intervention. During these six weeks she went on a soul-searching 'journey' which ultimately resulted in emotional healing, allowing her to also be healed physically. Now, this is a very, very radical approach. What I have is insomnia, not a tumour and insomnia is never life-threatening. Some of the things she writes about are difficult for me to digest but, nevertheless, it is a very interesting read.

I am interested to see how her 'journey' will progress. At the moment, I'm reading about the period directly after the disappearance of her tumour. She is deciding how she can best use her experiences to help others to be healed, not just on a physical level, but also emotionally.

  1. Hi Bex, This sounds like a very interesting book. I relate a lot to what you say in your blog. My journey is how to free myself from over-powering and negative mind patterns. I used to call it depression and think that it was something that 'happened' to me. Now, through yoga practice and meditation I am aware that it is an energy field that is glued to me just as long as I allow my thinking to identify with it. To detach from the mind is quite a journey and sometimes I feel that it is two steps forward and one back. I can only imagine a time when I do not believe my thoughts and am able to walk free. The funny thing is, for some reason, I believe that I will get there one day. I also think that you, from reading your blog, have a great chance of getting there too! xx
