The Workshop:

Cancer often leads to a cycle of negative thoughts and feelings, including resentment of and anger at the tumor. These feelings in turn trigger an inflammatory response that, ironically, supports the existence of the tumor, which feeds on stress and discord. Paradoxically, by bathing a tumor with love, you can activate an innate healing response that has more power to usher the cancer away. Michael will guide you on a journey of love, love for your body, including your tumor, in such a way that you leave the fight-or-flight mode (rife with fear, anxiety, and anger) and move toward a state of harmony, health, and wholeness that is inhospitable to cancer.
