An Expert's Experience: Radical Forgiveness: Part Two
Written by Colin C. Tipping (for Part One of this story, please see the August 2007 issue of Healthy Beginnings Magazine)If it could speak, the cancer would probably say, “You have been living your life in a way that serves neither you, nor your divine purpose. You have put your priorities in all the wrong places; you have put everyone first before yourself; you dishonor yourself all the time and withhold love from yourself. You stuff your feelings, worry about the future, hold on to resentments and losses of the past, and you will not forgive. Living life this way has caused your soul to become very sick and it has decided that it does not want to live any longer in this manner. This is a signal to change. This is your chance to heal.”

The reason that I suggest Radical
Forgiveness over other forms of forgiveness is that it is all encompassing,
works at the energy level, and happens very quickly. |
The reason I have written the message in this way is that it would apply to most cancer patients because it more than hints at a set of characteristics they nearly all share. Principal among these are a tendency to put everyone else before themselves; to deal with life by suppressing emotions and to be very unwilling to forgive. These are the ones that kill the most people. A study by Stephen Greer, in England, shows that people who suppress anger and resentment, are much more likely to get cancer than are those who feel and express their feelings.
Besides genetic predisposition, this study showed that suppression of feelings is the only scientifically proven predictor of who in the population might get cancer. And it is important to realize that it is not emotion that is bad. Quite the contrary, feeling our emotions is good for us. The problems come when we suppress or “stuff” them. It is clear then, that emotion that is “stuffed” is highly toxic and needs to be released if we are to reduce our chances of getting cancer, or to heal from it. Obviously, anyone who has cancer, or is a high risk for getting it, should make every effort to heal the emotional event that has caused, or might cause, the cancer. For those who are in remission, it is absolutely essential to do the forgiveness work in order to prevent a recurrence.
To ground this is a practical analogy, think of your body as being like the filters typically found in home heating furnaces — the kind we have to clean from time to time to ensure that the furnace works efficiently. Just as these filters were designed to allow air to move easily through them, the same is true of your body. Life force must be free to flow easily through it.
Whenever we judge, make someone wrong, blame, project, repress anger, hold resentment, etc., we create an energy block in our body. Each time we do this, our filter becomes a little more blocked and less energy remains available for our “furnace.” Sooner or later the filter fails and, starved of the vital oxygen it must have to keep burning, the “flame” dies. When our bodies become too clogged for life force to flow through easily, our body starts shutting down. This is when we manifest disease.
When we talk here of “the body,” we include not only the physical body, but the subtle energy bodies which surround us as well. These subtle fields, which constitute our mental, emotional and spiritual bodies, envelop the physical body in layers, each one an octave higher than the other. They each resonate harmonically with the vibrating patterns of the physical body, enabling consciousness (mind) to interact with the body. This is what we mean when we speak of the “body-mind continuum.” The reason that I suggest Radical Forgiveness over other forms of forgiveness is that it is all encompassing, works at the energy level, and happens very quickly. Ordinary forgiveness takes its own time. You can’t force it — time will heal it, we say. But when you have cancer, that’s not good enough. You want results NOW!
