Living with Cancer with Brian Holley - EP 269

Join Rev. Carol and guest, Brian Holley, author of "What My Doctors Didn't Tell Me About Cancer,"  as they explore alternative and integrative approaches to traditional allopathic medicine. Brian shares his spiritual and medical journey, starting with a profound spiritual experience at the age of nine and moving through his kidney cancer diagnosis in 2009. Discover how he began integrating his understanding of body, mind, and spirit, and how listening to his body transformed his life. Brian opens up about the significant changes he made in his mindset, diet, and support system, and reveals how he uncovered the roots of lifelong anxiety.  Believing that everything in the universe is for us and has a loving presence, he emphasizes the importance of acceptance rather than rejection of whatever life brings our way.

Bio - Born in England at the beginning of WWII as bombs began dropping on London, Brian Holley eventually discovered that he had been carrying whirlpools of trauma, the source of lifelong underlying anxiety. Through acupuncture and kinesiology, he was able to enter more fully into the peace, love and joy which he had  pursued since childhood. In his twenties he became a fervent fundamentalist evangelical Christian. When he  heard an interview with Joseph Campbell, his view of the Bible and religion changed, and he began studying eastern religion and also philosophy. Eventually he found Quakerism and became acquainted with an eclectic gathering of Buddhists, Sufis, Christians, and a Muslim. Feeling the need to release himself from the confines of Quakerism, he now doesn't  wear any labels, and calls himself a 'spiritual tramp and religious has-been'. Brian has been living with cancer for 15 years and is the author of What My Doctors Didn't Tell Me About Cancer.
