Tibetan Buddhists believe that serious illnesses such as cancer can be a warning sign. If we take seriously certain deeper aspects of our being, such as our spiritual life, and radically change the direction of our lives, there is a very real hope of healing our entire being.

During this retreat we will explore the path to healing from a spiritual and emotional perspective, based on Alain’s experience of healing from terminal cancer. Can we help our own healing with our spirit? What are the different approaches and how can we understand them? Four main themes will be addressed on the subject of healing:

• Our fundamental nature; source of healing
• Meditation: a practice for healing our being
• Discovering love within ourselves, accepting and reconciling with ourselves
• Visualising and invoking to heal our being

Practices such as meditation, compassion and visualisation can help unlock the transformative potential of illness, allowing our bodies and minds to best assimilate the treatments needed to heal ourselves.

This approach takes a holistic view of healing all suffering, physical, mental and emotional. It looks at healing from the point of view of our entire being, and not just from the point of view of the body. Whether the body dies or not, it is possible to have a profound experience of healing and thus be better prepared for death.

IMPORTANT – In the event of serious illness, the Tibetan masters advise using the spiritual approach in conjunction with appropriate medical treatment.
