Vibes? I never thought about vibes. It's something that's a metaphor for feelings, right?
When you send someone "good vibes," you don't send something real and tangible, do you? I never bought into vibes. I didn't know what vibes were or why they do what they do. I've always wanted to have more clarity, more joy, more peace, and more confidence. But I never understood how that stuff worked.
Trouble as a kid continued through my adult life as I found myself married to a person with untreated mental health issues. Shortly after liberating myself from that relationship, the lump that appeared behind my ear was Lymphoma, a blood cancer. My scan results were terrifying. My chest and face lit up like a city at night. PET scans (positive emission tomography) show lights indicating cancerous tumors. I thought I was dying then, but that was ten years ago. After two years of a chemo treatment that wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, the cancer was all gone. I was relieved, but I didn't learn anything about vibes, and I wasn't ready to make any changes. After all the trouble I'd been through, I still thought nothing of healthy eating, fostering joyful, meaningful relationships, spending time intentionally creating peace in my life, realizing and appreciating true beauty in the world. Only recently, ten years after that initial cancer scare, have those things become real for me. And it isn't because my cancer was gone; it's because it had returned and, for the past two years, has been a big part of my life.
Three years ago, my knee hurt and swelled up. I thought I hurt it working out. Then the doctor said the Lymphoma, which was in remission, had transformed into a very aggressive Double Hit Lymphoma and had taken over my leg. They said this was a super fast-spreading cancer, and it would take me out quickly. After six months of the worst treatment I've ever been through in my life. My scans showed that the cancerous tumors died in some areas and grew fresh ones lower in my leg. Then, after six months of another torturous treatment, the same thing happens. Then we do it again, each time just pea-size cancer remains in my leg. Even though this thing is little, the doctors are terrified of it because it grows and grows. They don't understand why it won't stop, and they believe it can blow up anywhere in my body. I am sick of it. We just keep chasing this bugger around my leg. But it seems to have taught me many important lessons along the way, like the one about vibes.
Vibes are real. Vibrations of atoms make up everything that is. Everything has energy, or it would not exist. Vibrations have a positive or negative charge. Higher vibrating energies have positivity to them, and they create positive vibes in anything around them. Negative energies have an opposite effect. They pull down anything which is not higher in vibes than itself. But High Vibes can bring low vibes up. Learning to stay in High Vibes is the key to creating energy that can become positive realities in your life. I believe the Lymphoma hasn't damaged my health a lot more because I stay in High Vibes now. The doctors say they haven't seen this kind of Lymphoma not take over someone's body quickly. For most of my life, my vibes were very low, which probably led to cancer in the first place. I learned the basics about vibes fast, as I didn't have much time to waste. No one has time to waste.
