During my cancer journey, the pandemic happened, my 25 year marriage ended and Maui Fire happened. When everything felt like falling apart all at once, I felt devastated and didn’t know what to do with my diagnosis which was stage 4 breast cancer. As I faced my death, I really started facing my life… my journey to coming back to myself began. I didn’t focus on healing the disease, rather I focused on holding my values clearly than ever. I’m from Hiroshima Japan, as a second generation of Atomic Bomb survivors. There is heavy karmic energy attached to cancers. I had to really think how I can use my life in that family lineage. I decided to embrace and be with cancer cells without any judgement. I love them just like the rest of my healthy cells. I focus on being my authentic myself. That’s the only thing I have been thinking through this journey. To live or die, I will do that in knowing and honoring who I am and what I am.
My life has clarity to enjoy myself fully while I have this beautiful body. I see myself the same with or without cancer. Which requires self love to override anything that I encounter. I fill my body and my field with my love without wanting anything from outside. So in the end, my journey has become my self-discipline and my prayer to honor my soul/ my being.
I’m enjoying myself a lot and so grateful that I can feel my authenticity. I’ve been doing miraculously well. I’m very proud of myself of finding/honoring myself and having deep peace in the middle of unprecedented chaos around me.
Much love and aloha
