Cancer Schmancer

Today I went to the first of four journaling classes at the cancer centre, Wellspring. What a revelation! It was led by a woman who uses journaling techniques in various settings, including corporate problem-solving. Its value in a healing situation is supported by a study done on a group of cancer and chronic disease patients, which found that it provided improvements to the immune system when practised consistently, even over a short time. I found the class exercises very intense and clearly of value. I had been wondering what I could do about the lowered immunity I am now experiencing, aside from eating well and resting, so this is an opportune idea for me. Keeping a diary is not new for me, but this is essentially different in approach, very much geared to accessing the stresses that may impair my healing and getting them out of harm's way.
