Nothing breaks a heart like a terminal illness for a child. I lived through this nightmare personally and my empathy goes for the parents as much as the children. FEAR overwhelms Parents preventing them from functioning normally and constricting their very life force. This is an all too real in your face experience with no escape.
Fear in this situation serves no purpose. It both stands in the way of creative thoughts as well as interfering in the flow of love that the child should be experiencing at this time. Naturally no one asks for the fear, yet it comes with an army of its own to invade the peace of mind one normally has.
You can not fight fear and win, you can only change the battle ground. You can only fight another fight... a more productive fight. Fear is real most would argue, but truthfully it is an illusion. It is an illusion of what could be. Of what could be lost. But what if this battle against an illusionary army could be directed toward the source of your fear. Then, at least your actions carry strength, at least your bombs will actually explode in the face of your enemy.
Your child is sick, your child has been diagnosed as terminal. You listen to the doctors, the specialist's, you feel a loss of power because you do not understand medicine well enough to troubleshoot with the doctor about what can be done, or so you believe. A feeling of helplessness overwhelms you. No matter how brave of a face you put on, your child knows your pain, your child feels your pain.
While you fight the battle of fear, your child is fighting a battle for his life while feeling empathy for you, the parents. Doesn't it make more sense to turn from this fear, find some anger and attack this problem in the best effective way possible? Of course it does. STOP fighting the battle of what if... and begin to fight the battle of right now!
Everyday in the world, millions of people get well from some illness, every single day. Every single day events that are called miracles happen, every single day. If you want to be in this category, then fight for it. This article is not religious in nature, but if you are religious then by all means pray. When you are not praying this is what you need to do.
The body has trillions of individual cells, each operating on its own agenda. In a healthy body these cells work in harmony with their own destinies. In other words, when things are operating as they are wired to operate, everything is fine. When the body has illness or dis-ease, then something has caused a set of cells to malfunction. Besides modern medicine how can one correct this imbalance? First by understanding the influence the mind has over the body. If you think of eating a lemon, your mouth will water. If you think of being eaten by a tiger, your heart would race. If you are a happy person, it has been proven you have a much better immune system. Biorhythm is a science where people can control their own heart rate and blood pressure with thought.
Understanding that thought carries huge and powerful influences on the body, it is your job to work with your child to work with his body. Talk to him or her about the trillions of cells in their body. There are different cells to do different jobs, just like different solders in the army. Your child is the General of these solders. Have your child close their eyes and imagine this story as you explain to them.
Imagine a million-trillion solders you have in your body. Some are wearing green, some are wearing yellow, some are wearing red. These solders are very proud to work for you, and they love you very much too. I want you to think about them for a minute, visualize them and send them your love. Now I want you to be aware of the solders. Try to feel them in your body, from your toes to your head. Have your child think of the area of sickness, be that blood, lungs, whatever. Think about those little solders there fighting, and tell them that you love them so much and you know they have been working very hard. Tell them you are sorry you have not talked to them before, but now you will always listen to them. Then say, we are sending more solders to help you fight your battle, and you will win, do not worry. Have your child think, visualize sending these solders to that area, and these solders are happy and strong. Have your child visualize that area heating up with love and action. If you are religious now say a prayer to yourself, not begging, simply stating you send healing energy now from the source through my body and into my child. You are making a statement, not a request. Command the energy to move into your child. Finish this exercise with anything you can find to instigate laughter with your child. Do this exercise everyday with your child. At other times of the day, you visualize a healing cloud of light wrapped around your child. Visualize a balloon of love that you feel up, with love for your child and send mentally to your child's bed to wrap around him or her. If your child is too young to understand your words, then send the healing energy from you to him or her.
The body is influenced from the mind, PERIOD. It is even influenced from other peoples minds - sympathy pregnancy - as an example. Do not wallow in the fear you have, instead turn to the love of your child and share it. Fight with your mind, and your childs mind. Do not ever sit by your child in fear. If fear is present, find the love and work with it. Acknowledge your childs own power to influence and heal his or her body. Teach them how to use it. If finding the love is seems too big of a step from fear, then find anger! Use anger to talk to those solders! But by all means, talk to your childs solders sending them love and intent to get well.
