Feel to Heal is written by Mohana Gupta.
This book is about her experiences battling Cancer that started as Type 1 Stage 1 of Endometrial cancer last October 2021.
It continued with her currently battling stage 1 advanced breast cancer (genetically disposed of BRCA1 Mutation).
But this short read is not only about a collection of her physical experiences through out the journey of suffering, treatments and healing but a world full of thoughts that has the power of transforming one's life whether one is battling this disease or just need to realise, what really life is about in the end.
This book is surely a piece of art created mindfully. With short meaningful chapters that give us a glimpse of what kind of mental stress one may go through while battling it like getting diagonised with with OCD, Borderline Bipolar, and Depression, that not only affects the patient's life but even their family members and their overall relationship making it more psychologically consuming.
I felt her thoughts had lots of depth. They touched my heart! And the poems and quotes added, made so much sense.. Beautiful !
It was insightful. In my family i have had members who i have known battling cancer. It was a hard process for them but due to timely treatment now they are recovering well. So this book definitely felt more important to me.
Now a days in every household one or the other member at some point if time gets diagonised with it. So to support them wholeheartedly one can pick this book up to understand scenarios that can make them ready to face it mindfully.
In the end, its all in the mind. Nobody knows whose end is coming when. But to live life being in the present is the key and keep fight alive against whatever threatens it. Our minds have immense power of healing us and this book instils beautifully that long forgotten belief in us.
Just pick it up guys!
Her words have power!
Hereby concluding the review by wishing her great health and happiness . Be like this always!
