I’m 46yrs old. I just had my yearly MRI to see if anything has come back. So far so good.
I remember the three things that I did before and after my surgery:
I prayed a lot. I am not a religious person, but I got on my knees and I asked for help. I once even had a priest pray over me and maybe it helped. I like to think that it did.
I visualized myself in the most peaceful place that I could imagine and from that place I would concentrate on the mass in my skull. I visualized it being attacked by all sorts of fanciful weaponry (Yes, I’m a child of the video game age!). I imagined it shrinking, burning, being chopped into little pieces, blown apart by bullets and flame-throwers. I did this many, many times on a daily basis. After the surgery, I switched to visualizing all energy from the peaceful place flowing into my incision and healing the damage. The cut would tingle like it was plugged into an electric socket sometimes when I was meditating like this. I can still remember how odd it was.
I trusted my doctor and did not doubt the diagnosis, nor the surgery that was recommended.
I remember being so scared at times, but when it came time for the surgery, I was at peace; I was not scared. I think what you are doing is a wonderful thing. If there is nothing else that I can do, I will pray for you. If ever you need to talk, I will listen.
