This is Evelyn. She is from the Philippines and worked as a cleaner in Hong Kong.
In this photo, taken just a few days earlier, Evelyn was beaming as she shared wonderful news: her cancer marker had halved since her last test, and her doctor saw this as an extremely positive sign.
When she first came to us a few years ago—referred by her church friend who was one of our clients—Evelyn was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer. Our client gifted her some of our health products, primarily (authentic) essential oils. Through the “pay it forward” donation box in our health store, we were able to provide her with a biofield product to mitigate the effects of electromagnetic disruption (a significant source of stress, as identified through bioresonance testing). We also sponsored her bioresonance testing to guide dietary adjustments and monitor her progress, along with bioresonance harmonisation to restore balance at the biofield level. Additionally, I offered her private healing sessions and later a recorded self-hypnosis audio to help her cultivate calm and reprogramme her subconscious mind for self-healing.
Throughout this time, Evelyn was also undergoing medical treatment within Hong Kong’s public healthcare system. For many in her position, options are limited to what is free or covered by insurance.
Her already petite frame grew even smaller, and there were weeks when we didn’t see her. We couldn’t help but worry.
Evelyn’s church community prayed for her faithfully. Every time we saw her, she expressed deep appreciation. smiling from ear to ear, thanking us for the support. Years later, she was still here—outliving many other cancer patients we knew who had spent far more on various conventional or alternative treatments.
This may seem difficult to comprehend. But from our observations—aligned with the teachings of the likes of Dr. David Hawkins, MD, PhD—healing accelerates when one operates from a higher state of consciousness, namely, states of gratitude, love and joy.
This is why fostering these states—through unconditional love—is so vital. After all, the immune system, governed by the nervous system, is what truly heals the body.
Research also supports the power of prayer and intention—particularly when rooted in trust that healing is already unfolding. For instance, in the Power of Eight intention group (founded by Lynne McTaggart) that I participated before, a member’s friend with pancreatic cancer entered remission after our group’s intention sending. Real stories like this abound. Dr. Kelly Turner’s Radical Remission project documents countless recoveries dismissed by conventional medicine. My friend Anita Moorjani’s spontaneous healing from stage four lymphoma after a near-death experience in Hong Kong (2006) is an dramatic example.
Conversely, fear triggers the fight-flight-freeze response, suppressing immune function. Yet mainstream narratives often frame illness as a “battle,” vilifying the body rather than recognising its innate intelligence. We’ve lost touch with the fact that healing involves the whole self—physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. For many, a dire prognosis becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. (I witnessed this early on as my late father’s experience mirrored this tragic pattern.)
Evelyn isn’t the only person of limited means we’ve supported. Admittedly, sustaining this work as a small private practice can be challenging—especially over the past couple of years. But in a city like Hong Kong—where cynicism often overshadows compassion, where the vulnerable are overlooked—HOPE is a lifeline.
Perhaps I’m partial to those like Evelyn, who give so much yet receive so little. When illness strikes, they’re left with few options, far from home and support.
Yet healing need not be costly. Time in nature, mindful breathing, emotional work with pure essential oils, qigong, yoga, and gratitude-infused nourishment can reset the nervous system—and thus, the immune response. (Of course, targeted support like bioresonance testing or healer-guided sessions can further amplify these efforts.)
As a “healing” practice, we actually don’t “heal” anyone. Our role is to cultivate an environment where true healing can arise within the client. We only provide our compassionate presence, expertise, and an authentic and high-vibration space.
Evelyn’s case underscores a profound truth: healing isn’t just about having (physical) resources; it’s about resonance.
To us, healing is not synonymous with survival.
We have witnessed again and again, a serious illness like cancer serves as a portal of LOVE – often dismantling the ingrained belief that love must be earned through productivity.
What begins as a natural trauma surviving strategy – equating worth with usefulness – becomes a cage. Cancer comes along for our liberation. In the raw vulnerability of illness, a deeper truth emerges if one is willing to listen: You are loved not for what you DO, but simply because you ARE.
And I see the embodiment of this truth as the ultimate goal of our work. To be held in unconditional love when you can no longer “perform” – this is where true healing begins.
And indeed, no one can, not even the most skilful healing facilitator can decide for anyone else when to embrace this truth of amazing grace. We can only accept the choice of each soul, and to trust that LIFE is always right – the universe, in its fierce and tender wisdom, would use even illness to guide us back to the remembrance of LOVE.
Update (October 2022):
The original article was first published in October 2021. After this photo was taken a few days before the publication of the original article, Evelyn stopped coming for treatments. She seemed “busy”—until we learned she was caring for her father, who had moved to Hong Kong after his own cancer diagnosis. Tragically, Evelyn passed away in June 2022.
It’s heartbreaking. Often, when a progressing client declines, it’s because they’ve neglected their own needs—repeating the patterns that led to their illness in the first place. We wish we’d been able to rally her community sooner or done more.
Yet we trust her journey served its purpose – for true healing is always an act of grace. In her vulnerability, Evelyn discovered what matters most: she was loved, she belonged, she mattered. And in bearing witness to that transformation, we received grace ourselves.
