Friends 4 Life Cancer Survivor Group Telford Shrewsbury Newport

I decided to form a Friend’s 4 life group for people who had suffered from cancer, and just needed someone to talk too. Or, maybe, just wanted a shoulder to cry on… or just to be a part of something bigger in this life.

I myself, had surgery to remove an appendix cancer in 2023, and I can share with you how I felt so numb, and in shock. How I found out I had cancer, was by letter which was not meant for me, but for some other medical consultant.

You can imagine my shock, and horror! It was a painful journey.

But, I was lucky to have a small network around me. However, I suddenly remembered I could have been one of those cancer survivors who had no family to talk too. So, this is why I want to put back into the community using my skills!

I want to start a group called, ‘’Friend’s 4 Life,’ where we all have one thing in common, surviving the big C word!

And we don’t care what religion, or race you are: sex, or gender or sexuality! Everyone needs a friend when they are afraid, and feel alone without anyone comfort them or talk too.

Friend’s 4 Life will have:

1. Table games,
2. Pleasant Chats
3. Coffee and biscuits, cakes light squash.
4. Live singing which you can join in if you enjoy a sing a long or just back ground music and much more.
5. We are opened to game suggestions…

It is a group which will have tons of potential and flexible. So bring along your knitting and join us. You will not be judged nor will we judge others. We are all friends looking for group positive energy to bounce back from.

Everyone should be treated with respect and information shared remains within the friends 4 life group or with that person do the sharing. Confidentiality is a must at all times.

My aim is to bring hope, and light back into the areas of our lives that took away for that moment the ability to assess the emotional damage caused.

So be confident knowing you will not be judged and join friends 4 life!

As a group we will negotiate on which building we can rent and is accessible. First meeting will be on-to-one to break the ice.

Alternative Holistic Therapy and Reiki Healing For Helps Cancer Patients

Alternative and holistic Cancer Cures Reiki

 

When I studying for my Reiki diploma; the one thing that stuck out for me, were the number of people benefiting from this hands on healing, were making quick, and positive recovery.

The Power of Positive Thinking | Johns Hopkins Medicine

Reiki healing is a kind of spiritual supplication, but without words; you are sharing the universal life force.  This energy is then  transferred  to the sick patient. It is now regarded by the doctors to be  a form of complementary treatment.

A reiki practitioner puts their hands lightly on, or near your body. One of the main aim is to help you relax your mind, and body.  It is well known scientific fact that we heal better when are in a much positive state of mind.

When transferring this healing energy Reiki, my patients tend to feel:

1. A tranquil warm glowing peaceful fire.
2. A deep sense of inner peace
3. As if a knot has suddenly untied itself and other experiences…

Research has also shown that having a positive attitude can heal the mind, and body quicker than someone who is negative. Having a positive attitude: helps reduce the effects of stress, so that you can manage much better, and cope with recovery.

Cancer Research UK, has now recognised, and seen the impact that Reiki healing has on sick suffers and, also those whom have just been diagnosed with cancer. They even went as far as to dedicate an article on their website! Complementary therapy has come along way!

Reiki | Complementary and alternative therapy | Cancer Research UK

Alternative therapy are now been accepted after years of denial. Some people with Cancer may use Reiki alongside their regular treatment, as a complementary therapy.

Reiki practitioners say that it can:

• help you to feel deeply relaxed
• help you cope with difficult situations
• relieve emotional stress and tension
• help to improve overall wellbeing

One of my clients, whom suffers from an undiagnosed lung problem, was taking antibiotics for five years. He felt that the doctors were, and I quote: ‘fobbing him off.’ His daughters held the same opinion.

I am not only a Reiki practitioner, but, I also specialize in, Breathing Holistic Therapy. My client, and his daughter, were both amazed at the results within weeks!

What makes energy healing so fantastic is the fact that, you can heal from anywhere, time or space, to even online!  Where time, and distance is concerned, there are no barriers to receiving this beautiful loving energy!

This is one way of receiving distant dealing. I however, prefer to heal face-to-face, or online, as I like to see what I am doing, and can observe the improvement.

I can also empathise and connect to real honest emotions, to feeling the energy much better.

What you can expect from my sessions are:

1. A deep feeling of spiritual recharge
2. Improved sleep and much state of mind for healing.
3. Pain relief
4. Deep Positive feeling and great confidence
5. Increase energy
6. Emotional healing and release
7. Help mental clarity
8. Strengthen the immune system
9. Increase in energy and much more…

All holistic, and Reiki treatments, are done with the highest reverence, sensitivity, with of course, confidentiality.

Why Millions of People Are on Antidepressants in UK and USA and Canada

Why more people are on antidepressants today

Millions of People Are on Antidepressants in UK and USA and Canada

So many of us are depressed today. There are 7.3 million people on antidepressants! That is 17% of the population in UK alone.

In USA During 2015–2018, 13.2% of adults used antidepressants. Globally, antidepressant usage has been on the rise. As of 2020, among select Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries, Iceland, Portugal, and Canada were the biggest consumers of antidepressants.

Iceland is the biggest consumer of antidepressants worldwide, according to recent OECD report entitled “Health at a Glance 2015.” Some 118 out of every 1,000 Icelanders now consume these drugs on a daily basis, though the trend certainly isn’t new.16 Nov 2015

Something is seriously wrong in a world that has first rate technological advancement, with excellent standards of living. But why are we more depressed today? There is no simple answer to this complexity.

Causes – Clinical depression – NHS (www.nhs.uk)

The NHS view is that it can be:
1. Genetics.
2. Redundancy
3. Divorce
4. Bereavement
5. Debt money worries
6. Alcohol….

All these contributing factors no doubt will create mental health challenges. Worrying too much does takes it toil on the mind, and our ability to have clearness of mind to go about our daily task.

Sadly, the ‘happy pills,’ that are prescribed as sweeties, does not deal with real human issues. It is also too easy to have our doctor recommend antidepressants as a temporary fix, but unless we deal with the root; we will become life-long customers to strong medications.

But having said that, it does not satisfy my curiosity as to why with such advancement; we are more likely to be on antidepressants! What is it about our lifestyle that is killing us?

From an alternative perspective, modern life can also be part of the problem as to why the number of people with mental health challenges are staggering.
How modern Living affects Mental Health

How modern life affects our physical and mental health

Medical and health information (medicalnewstoday.com)

According to, ‘Medical News Today’ technology and social media has made an impact on our lives to such degree that we have moved away from nature to an almost artificial life. They also note a link between video games and aggression.

This is not surprising. Video games are becoming more violent, and so lifelike. They are also extremely addictive. Medical News Today, also finds being exposed to 4 hrs of video games can cause depression! Many research have concluded these findings.

Today, we have less quality family time, but instead we have our smart phones glued to our ears, or we are busily surfing Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube to name but a few…

We see families in restaurants, not talking, but all on their phones! No one talk anymore! We don’t engage on how we are feeling, in general.

The stress of modern living has detached us from the earth, and away from nature. So our spiritual selves craves this life living water to quench our parched soil. But, there are so many things that we can do to improve our mental health.

How to Improve our Mental Health Naturally:

1. Go for regular walks in the park
2. Listen to relaxing music
3. Meditation
4. Join a group or hobby that does not involve the internet
5. Eat healthily
6. Put a day a side where you have nothing to do with social media
7. Get a good night sleep
8. Spend time with friends and family
9. Watch a comedy

Studies have also shown that we rely on social media for our information. But social media is packed with negativity and it has problems with cyberbullying.

Many young people in particular, have taken their own lives because of bullying online. Once again, we become obsessed with a world online that is artificial, and we stop talking to our friends and family. We become isolated.

Spending less time on social media and going back to nature will do wonders for your mental health.
What I have also note is that, since covid pandemic, mental health crisis has increased. Research has also shown that, many of us were really psychologically affected by the lockdown that we experienced over the last two years or so…

So this might also explain why across the world mental health crisis has suddenly peaked. As noted in Mind. the-mental-health-mergency_a4_final.pdf (mind.org.uk)

Checklist on your mental health

1. Find out what triggers your depression and what you can do to avoid it
2. Are you feeling more depressed because of: work-related stress, relationship, how can you control the situation better.
3. When you are feeling down, do you have a tendency to isolate yourself? How would you go about changing that?
4. How long does your depression last, and why? How can you control the duration? Would going for a walk help, or maybe watching something light hearted?

Keep a diary and be honest what you write in it. You will be surprised what you learn about yourself. You will also start to spot signs of depression and can act swiftly!

Hope this helps and give you some insight. You don’t have to suffer alone!
