Extraordinary Healing, Ordinary Miracle: Choosing WellBeing Over Fighting Cancer offers a new perspective on healing. Meet Patricia French Crilly aka Nurse Crilly as she takes you along on her healing odyssey. Her extraordinary healing from invasive ovarian cancer was not a random or spontaneous occurrence but rather came about through a deliberate intention to heal herself. What puts this in a realm of miracles is that her healing took place in the space of two weeks between learning of her diagnosis and having surgery. Despite sharing with all of her doctors her intention to "get rid of it", all but one, her surgeon, were left scratching their heads in disbelief of the outcome. Many tried to come up with a rational explanation ranging from misdiagnosis to extremely good luck to that old standby, "spontaneous remission", the go to explanation when all other possibilities have been debunked. There was just one problem with that theory in this case and that was as Nurse Crilly said, "There was nothing spontaneous about this healing. I worked my butt off " Combining traditional medicine with the Alternative Holistic Healing Arts, Nurse Crilly was able to achieve balance and harmony of her mind, body and spirit creating an environment that allowed her body to use its own innate ability to heal itself. This is an ordinary miracle that we are all capable of achieving and receiving. Part I chronicles her day to day journey through diagnosis, surgery and recovery with all of its complications and setbacks. Part II, is methodically deconstructed to uncover some surprising insights that illuminated her path back to WellBeing. Among them were the discovery of three pillars that served as the foundation for what Nurse Crilly calls her Healing Triad. She shares how she overcame the tsunami of fear that accompanied her cancer diagnosis and how she completely and radically changed her self-limiting belief system that cancer was a death sentence to one that allowed her to embrace the belief that complete healing was possible. She took back her power that was stolen by or given away to the cancer, the medical traditionalists and well-meaning friends and family whose own fear around cancer was disempowering. Nurse Crilly is funny, clever and courageous and shares her story with a wicked wit and wisdom. And, by the way, the language she uses to talk about cancer creates a whole new paradigm shift by completely altering the cancer lexicon that we all use by default without ever giving it much thought as to its significance or meaning...until now. For example, she does not refer to herself as "cancer free" any more than being "flu free" or "measles free" choosing not to be identified by a disease she no longer has. She simply states that she is well. If you or a loved one is dealing with cancer, no matter where you are in the course of the disease, you will find within the pages of this book, inspiration, hope and even a chuckle or two. This may not be the only book you read about healing cancer but it should be the first one you read.
