Description

At the age of 41 Cheryl Canfield was diagnosed with a deadly cervical cancer. Going against descriptive warnings from doctors, she rejected proposed surgeries that would involve removing her uterus, cervix, lymph nodes, and surrounding nerves. Instead, she decided to accept death and focused her energy on attempting to die well. In the process, she cured herself. PROFOUND HEALING is Canfield's down-to-earth account of her journey as she inadvertently experiences a modern-day miracle, and her subsequent reflections on physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual healing. More than a simple biography, Canfield shares exercises, dreams, visualisations, and experiences - from encounters with the modern mystic Peace Pilgrim to her own acceptance of cancer, that assisted her healing process and that others can use as a source of hope, inspiration, and practical advice. Appropriate for anyone seeking life wisdom, PROFOUND HEALING is not about dying or living. It is about discovering one's life and living it fully while we are here.
