CANCER is the diary-based account of the author's diagnosis of breast cancer despite the meditation. Despite the yoga. Despite the balanced diet. Despite the spiritual dedication. Despite the moderate life. Despite the depth of faith in God, mind, and body. It is the perspective of disease and its initially stark impact on the human experience that provides the momentum for the greatest of opportunities to evolve within the life. CANCER is the eighth book in the Akasha Spiritual Faith series and addresses the conditioned thinking that disease is synonymous with body failure. It is an autobiographical effort to share the truth of a cancer diagnosis from the self realized perspective- that it is not a war we are to wage and rage against in the every effort to survive but a chance to know self reckoning and to embrace mortality which is etched within our destiny. CANCER addresses issues of survival, suicidal thoughts and wishes, children and cancer, transcending pain with and without narcotics, breast reconstruction, and how the mind-body is expected to heal. It is a compilation of essays that delineate how cancer radically shakes the foundation of thought only to yield a depth of strength and conviction that permeates the existence in its entirety. The self is forever changed and the diagnosis of cancer is now the pearl in the palm of the hand. The greatest of treasures lies within the thickets of our own mind. CANCER reveals the silver lining of the diagnosis which is the recognition that the life's beauty resides in the holding of surrender gently and simultaneously with hope. It is the balanced mind and body that understands mortality without despondency descending. In this acceptance, freedom rises forward and flights the remainder of the life. Usha Sita Sundaram is the founder of the Akasha Spiritual Faith which is a self realization process of mind-body evolvement.
