It seems like everywhere I turn at the moment someone is getting a cancer diagnosis. Two people on this email list in the last week alone have written and told me they have come back from the doctor with bad news.
It’s something that’s in my world a lot.
My mother in law to be, an awesome lady who lives right next door, has been living with cancer on and off ever since I’ve known her.
Here’s the thing that she shows me every time I see her:
She lives knowing that there is something worse than cancer by far, and that is worry.
The power of your own mind is incredible. Worry will eat you alive far quicker than anything else.
And so she goes in the opposite direction. She goes over the top to be grateful and positive and have as much fun as she can.
Of course she has moments, but over the years, and along with her Ascension meditation practice, she's gotten really expert at staying on the right side of the line.
Worry can be a great lesson, actually.
Whatever you worry about - regardless of whether it’s cancer or money or security or your loved ones, it can show you what the mind does to you.
It projects fear into the future so much you miss out on the reality of this moment.
And it never helps -
It only paralyses you, meaning you do nothing but spin around in little circles in your head.
You end up missing out on life; a grey, anxious filter comes down and affects your whole world.
However - if you can see this happening, you can see you still have a choice.
You always have a choice.
You can focus on what is wrong - which has one set of results;
Or, like my mum in law to be, you can focus on what is right - which has another set of results.
Choose to stay present and be positive and grateful and remember to enjoy what you do have, right in front of you.
And then from that mental state your body has a far better chance of dealing with the problem.
I can’t say it enough times - your inner outlook changes everything.
In life by far the biggest game is in your own head.
Winning the inner game makes the outer game simple.
If you need help with this - come and learn Ascension meditation:

I give you the tools and the understandings to become the master of your own mind to such a degree you never knew was possible…
and there is a community of constant support for you to plug into if you wish for times like cancer when the mind goes crazy on you.
The next course is 15-17 April, only a few weeks away now.
I don’t know when the next one will be, simply because I’m getting hitched and then running away on honeymoon.
Get in before the fiancee does!

As always, if you’ve already learnt you are so welcome to come back to resit all or part of the course. It would be great to have you here again.
