The Angel of Death Pays a Visit

By Maggie Caffery, Alchemical Hypnotherapist

 

There is no experience in life that compels us to connect to our internal wisdom more than a close encounter with death.  I have just completed such an encounter.  As fate would have it, I was in the middle of David Quigley’s hypnotherapy training when I received a diagnosis of DCIS (Ductile Carcinoma Insitu) in my left breast.  Micro-calcifications in my breast tissue showed up on my mammogram and in a biopsy to reveal this condition.

My consulting surgeon advised a mastectomy followed by reconstructive surgery.  The unspoken agenda was that without these treatments I’d be in serious trouble.  YIKES!  I went into a state of shock.  My surgeon called often to check on me, each time arousing new fears. I visited the reconstructive surgeon as well, and was also filled with fear in this encounter.

I confided in David what was going on. He asked me if I would be willing to share with the class what I was going through, and maybe do a session in front of the group.  With some trepidation I agreed.  This session with David was a pivotal point.  Under his expert guidance and with the loving support of the class, I got in touch with the little girl in me who was frightened, maybe even terrorized.  Then I saw the Judge, that voice within me that was giving the little girl such a hard time for the human emotions she was experiencing.  David called upon the loving mother within me to nurture and comfort the little girl, to give her the support and the kindness she was missing.  He convinced the judge to take a different attitude, one of cooperation rather than sabotage.  Then another feminine aspect was brought in, the inner healer.  Soon, thanks to David’s intuitive skill, all of my inner voices were mobilized in support of my health.

Now I knew what direction to pursue for my healing.  I chose to research alternative healing methods that felt comforting and nurturing.  I decided to only have contact with doctors, therapists, and friends supportive of my choices.  Whenever I noticed stressful sensations, I called upon my loving inner mother and inner healer. I took an active stance in owning health and wellbeing, reminding everyone not to project cancer onto me.  This was not an identity I wanted to indulge in. 

In this process I recognized that the disease in my body was simply a reflection of what my subconscious mind was thinking, feeling, and believing.  So to take care of my body I needed to change these patterns of belief.  I needed to know that there was nothing “wrong” with my body, so I could release the deep fear, nurture myself and my body with unconditional love, and let my body restore its own balance.

After living with a DCIS diagnosis for six months, I had a thermogram.  A thermogram is a noninvasive but highly accurate way to examine breast tissue for malignant growths using infrared light. A specialist at the Thermography Center in Sebastopol, CA assured me the results were normal. 

Thank you life for giving me the challenges I need to own my own power in healing, work, and play.  Thanks to my inner mother and my inner healer for their gift of breast health.  And thank you David Quigley for the role you played as an extraordinary facilitator to this awakening.
