Dee’s Journey
Firstly, I would like to thank you for taking the time to read our web site and thank you for being interested enough to be reading this now.
I would like to tell you about my journey and how I became involved in the Centre of Inner Light (and with the rest of the team, without whom the Centre could not run) and without whom my journey would have been so much harder to bear.
In 1996 I was diagnosed with an aggressive breast cancer, and as you can imagine our whole lives changed from that moment on. You take your life for granted and everything and everyone in it. At that moment in time I was not sure whether I would see another year in, let alone see my two beautiful daughters grow into women. Would I grow old with my wonderful husband Alan, who has supported me through the really dark times that no one else knows about? At that time I didn’t know – I just prayed very hard that I would.
I had a lumpectomy 27th December 1995, and subsequently a mastectomy after my diagnosis on the 5th January 1996. I was advised to go to Guy's Hospital for my chemotherapy and then Maidstone for my radiotherapy. It was whilst undergoing my chemotherapy that I was first introduced to spiritual healing by my daughter Louisa. Louisa knew a lovely lady called Zorika (whom some of you may have known) and so I went to Zorika for healing. I did not know what to expect, but it was such a peaceful and rewarding experience that I continued to have healing and this was when I first realized that the healing was helping me. Each time I went to London for my chemotherpy, I would feel physically sick at the thought of what was about to happen in the next few hours and the subsequent weeks to follow until my next session. Then one day when I went for one of my sessions I realized that I wasn't feeling sick any more and I managed to get through the rest of my chemotherapy without any feeling of sickness whilst attending the hospital. I was truly grateful for the help at that time. I continued to have healing all through my treatment and afterwards, until one day my dear friend Zorika went on holiday to Jerusalem for 6 months. What was I to do!
But things have a way of working out and I was invited by a friend to a talk on Feng Shui, where I met Jane who is now another team member. She told me about the Sanctuary of Love & Healing in Bredhurst, where I could go for healing. Alan took me to Bredhurst and that very first time we were both hooked on the peace and feeling of wellbeing that we both
felt from the service and the healing. So this was where both of our journeys began, as we both learnt to become Kent Healers and we joined Moony's group of self development and awareness. We then became involved in setting up the Centre of Inner Light with the rest of the team.
My daughters have now grown into lovely young ladies. Julia is married and I have the pleasure of knowing my two young granddaughters, Bethany who is 5 and Abigail who is nearly 4. How I adore these tiny little beings and how grateful I am to have had this time to get to know them.
Should any of you who are reading this be in a similar situation to myself and would like to talk about your feelings or ask questions, I would be only too pleased to listen and share any of my experiences with you. This also goes for Alan, as this hasn't just affected me, but all of my family and especially the man in my life. Perhaps Alan can help another husband going through the same situation, as there wasn't anyone for him to talk to. In order to heal it is so important to explore your feelings and understand them before you can move on.
I have been inspired to write poetry every now and again and I wrote two poems about how I was feeling about my experience, which I would like to share with you.
May you all be blessed with love, health, peace and happiness.
