Dancing at the Edge of Living and Dying Part 2

#016 This is Part 2 in the story about Clea, and her dance between living and dying as it came out in her journey through cancer.

In episode 15, Christel read pieces about Clea's process, pieces that Clea never heard before. Now we hear Clea's side of the story, how she relived the experience again, how she felt the depth of it and felt how close she was to dying.

Christel and Clea have known each other for a long time, and Christel always believed in Clea's ability to heal but at some point, even that got compromised.

Christel tells how underneath it all she could aways feel this part in Clea that was always so vibrant and alive, but there was now also hope being swept away, swept away by the morphine that Clea took to deal with her incredible pain.

At some point, the cancer was metastasized everywhere in her body and she was in a hospital bed unable to move.
‘If you want to heal you need to stop the morphine’ Christel told her, when that came out in the writing. Clea stopped cold turkey. They did two Dreamwalks together, a process to go to the root of the choice to live. These were incredibly healing as Clea describes from that moment her body started to heal and the cancer markers in her blood that were very high before now decreased dramatically.

We hear Clea describe the different phases in her cancer and what ultimately healed her, what her advice to other people would be, and what she would like to tell the doctors.

Dancing at the Edge of Living and Dying Part 1

#015 This is the first episode in an intense series of two with host Christel Janssen about her dear friend Clea, who had breast cancer. It is a heartbreaking story about a terrible disease, about the connection in a deep friendship, about hope and losing hope and reclaiming the choice for life, about 'dreamwalks,' about the way different realities play out in our body.

In 2007 Clea was treated with radiation for cancer in her breast, but a few years later it came back. And it spread throughout her whole body, eventually making her almost paralyzed in a hospital bed. Christel has always been her advocate, believing in her, believing in her choice against conventional methods, and in her ability to completely heal her self. Christel did a few 'dream walks' with her, which comes down to deeply asking the question: do you want to go back to your body and become fully alive, which has a tremendous effect on our ability to heal and create a miracle.

Clea had so much pain at some point that she needed morphine. Christel describes how she realized how morphine takes away the ability of the body to heal itself.
Christel writes from these experiences and the many layers that Clea went through, from looking for a cause of the disease, to completely reclaiming herself.
"I am meant to be a miracle" she whispered in her hospital bed.

Witness in this first episode the many worlds and dynamics behind the reality of cancer as Christel writes and reads from these states. In part two of Dancing at the Edge of Living and Dying Clea will be the guest in the Telepathic Writing Salon podcast and she will reveal her intense journey, and how she got through it.

The Intimacy of the last Act

#017 of the Telepathic Writing Salon Podcast. The reality of sex and intimacy upon dying.

Episode #010 of the Telepathic Writing Salon Podcast was about losing your virginity as the most precious act. Having sex for the first time, how it could have been such a beautiful thing, but mostly it isn’t, it is clumsy, overwhelming, a sense of losing your innocence, crossing a big threshold.
And the same is true for making love for the last time. Something which is hardly spoken about: is sex and intimacy and dying.
When 2 partners have shared a wonderful intimacy and then…one of them departs: is dying. And they know it. And their lovemaking and intimacy as they had it has to die too, at least at a certain level.

And I believe this could be a most beautiful thing, but also the ugliest
And that is what I am writing about today.

I had a lovely relationship with my last partner, who passed away last year. For 7 years to the day, we were together. And we shared many wonderful, intimate moments, the lovemaking was always good, or multilayered, honoring, expansive, uplifting, creative, and multisensory, so much beautiful exchange.
But then got sick. The cancer spread to his whole body. And he did not want to die. He didn’t want to acknowledge that he was dying it. He was desperately trying to fight it.
But then there were these actions, that showed that he knew it was the end of his life, and he would act upon it in desperate ways. One of which was our last intimate moment together, three weeks before he passed away.
