Cancer as an Invitation for Spiritual Growth
Are we spirits in a physical body? For some, if not many, life is a spiritual journey. Our life experiences can be viewed as opportunities for our soul’s development. Perhaps there is no such thing as “bad luck.” Maybe nothing is personal. Then, everything is for spiritual growth and the soul’s evolution. The disease experience opens a window into the soul. Illness is an invitation to look deeply into self, cultivate new levels of knowledge, and understanding about being alive. This speech focuses on the relationship between spirituality and health with anecdotes from Jeannine’s journey and references to relevant research studies.
