Synopsis

Peace with Cancer presents unique and spiritually empowering methods of approaching cancer and other chronic illnesses. Instead of going to war with our disease, this book shares a shamanism based model that works at restoring balance, harmony, and peace to our approach to illness. Eshowsky has done counseling and healing work for over 30 years. Watching his own father struggle with and ultimately succumb to cancer deepened his commitment to explore the spiritual, physical and environmental terrains of illness. This book draws upon that journey and his work with individuals diagnosed with cancer, including survivors of Chernobyl, Viet Nam Vets, people with AIDS, leukemia and many other cancers and acute conditions. Based on his work with indigenous healers from around the globe, the model of healing Eshowsky presents is not an alternative to Western medical treatment but a complement to it. The spiritually based healing techniques are designed to help us excavate deeper truths, bring healing to the soul and make peace with our life and death. This well-researched, experiential-based book is a must read for anyone who's been diagnosed with cancer or a chronic illness, friends and family of those affected by disease, and professional healers.

Review

A clever merger between medicine and spirituality, Peace with Cancer provides a powerful process for working with chronic illnesses such as cancer. Along the lines of Shelley Taylor's Positive Illusions, Eshowsky's book guides the reader in exploration of ways to cope with cancer that is beyond traditional psychological cognitive-behavioral approaches. It is a strength based approach to the injected uncertainty of chronic illness that is uplifting and evokes the most resilience. --Kimberley McCarthy,PhD, Columbia College Chicago

Myron Eshowsky's teachings about healing work with cancer were instrumental in helping me assist others with this frightening disease. As I now face this illness in my own life, the book offers recognition of the gifts this illness may bring if we can find a way to stop our internal and often unconscious war with our own soul. Cancer is the only winner in that war. We do not need to give up any of our efforts to stay alive. This book offers wise counsel and methods for making an internal peace that lets our bodies and souls heal quietly from within. --Jonathan W. Mills,Ph.D., shamanic practitioner and author of A Good Friday in Oz

The first wellness insurance plan which included comprehensive physical, mental, integrative, and spiritual care was started in July 1990 and Myron was selected to be it's shamanic healer. He is the first such healer to ever be covered by a formal U.S. health insurance plan. Myron and I have known each other for 25 years. As a CEO and the creator of this plan, I've watched as many people have gained health because of his efforts and connection with Spirit. --Nik Meiers, CEO,CLU, Meiers Associates, Inc.
