Mind Body Healing

“Our mind is both the source and savior of our physical health.”  Tenzin

At An Oasis of Healing, over the last 20 years of assisting people who have been diagnosed with cancer, we realize in order to stop making cancer in the body, the mind must be included in the healing journey. The mind and body are one. Our physical health is not separate from our mental health. It is our mental state which determines our reality, not the outside world. This is summed up in the often quoted expression, “Reality is a function of what we pay attention to.”   

We need to learn to be the master of our mind by mastering our thoughts which is much better than being controlled by our thoughts. Whether we identify with our thoughts or not is our choice. Our thoughts are not who we are. Our first steps in this process involves calming the mind, bringing about more peace and joy. Our goal is to develop a mindset where there is acceptance, meaning, purpose and gratitude.

When the mind is transformed, the biochemistry of the body changes. The biochemistry that led to the development of cancer is no longer present. As Dr Lodi says, “The immune system is the mirror of the mind.”  

We offer personalized techniques to help you address and transform patterns of thinking, recognizing that positive attitudes and effective stress management are crucial for improving treatment efficacy. We teach you these techniques to support your healing journey both at our center and after you return home.
