Radical Forgiveness can be the answer because, by its very nature since it is a spiritual phenomenon, it works at a higher level of consciousness. Radical Forgiveness occurs in present time, as a shift in perception; a sudden flash of insight or spiritual realization. This in turn creates an almost instantaneous and dramatic release of energy — which is the energy of resentment, anger, sadness, guilt, and grief, all of which are the energetic causes of cancer and other diseases of the immune system. If this is true, what kind of insight is it, or what manner of realization can it be that could possibly reverse cancer? Stated simply, it is that life is inherently perfect, divinely guided and always unfolds for each of us exactly how it needs to unfold for our highest good. Whereas with ordinary forgiveness, which actually never gives up the belief that something wrong or bad took place, with Radical Forgiveness we come to recognize, when we look at things from a spiritual perspective and see the ‘bigger picture.’ so to speak, that in truth, there is nothing to forgive and that nothing wrong, or right, ever happened. That means we can then give up our addiction to the victim archetype and, in surrendering to Spirit, let go of our need to control. This is the key, for it is in the act of surrender that we raise our vibration, bring our energy into present time and heal our wounds.
Though all this happens in the mental body, it is not a left brain mental exercise. Neither is Radical Forgiveness a feeling. It is pure insight — the sudden recognition of a higher truth. However, the route to this level of consciousness where the shift can happen is through the heart. This means feeling the feelings first. Nothing can move while those feelings of anger, resentment, guilt and fear remain repressed. As John Bradshaw pointed out, “You cannot heal what you don’t feel.”
There is no short cut. You must do something to get in touch with your feelings so that the energy can flow. Anger work, art therapy, breathwork — whatever it takes. Only then can you use the tools and do the exercises of Radical Forgiveness that will bring about the shift in perception that will lead to healing.
Anne came to one of my retreats. She had been given, at most, three months to live. She was depressed and had little life force left in her. She only came because her church had collected for her.
On the third day she recalled an event that occurred when she was 2 1/2 years old, involving her older sister, that had made her believe that she was utterly worthless. When she realized how much of her life she had lived according to that belief she began to feel angry. She beat cushions with a bat until she was exhausted, did some art therapy and then a breathwork session. The next day, she did some forgiveness worksheets around her sister and her husband.
By the time she left, her life force was way up, and she was all fired up to find an alternative program that would help her beat the doctor’s prognosis. After two weeks of frantically searching for something, she realized that her healing would come through prayer. So, she worked with a couple who literally prayed with her for a week. Upon her return, she went to her oncologist who examined her. These were his words. “I don’t know how to explain this, but you have absolutely no cancer in your body.
I could say it was a spontaneous remission, but I believe in God and I am not willing to describe it in any other way than as a miracle.
”This woman serves as a wonderful example of how raising the vibration through Radical Forgiveness and prayer reversed the seemingly hopeless physical condition in days rather than years. This is not an either/or choice. In fact, it is always wise to combine this with whatever medical treatment you feel comfortable with and feel is right for you. This may not always be in alignment with what your medical doctor will advise, but if you get strong feelings about what is best for you, follow those feelings. I can’t tell you how many people I have in my office who deeply regret not going with their inner guidance. You have to remember that medical doctors have a very limited vision. Their training is very deep but narrow. They have only one model and they are very invested in it. You are free to combine many different approaches and to be the director of your own healing.
