Having cancer can leave you feeling vulnerable, despairing and scared. Managing Cancer Symptoms: The Mindful Way can't give you a cure, or make false promises, but it can help you to navigate the good, the bad and the horrible parts of this new landscape. Mindfulness has been proven to help with the symptoms of cancer, and in this book you can find mindfulness practices that will help you with things like sleep, stress and pain management. Some simple movement and walking meditations will help you physically while self-care meditations will help you to nurture yourself with compassion and kindness. When things are tough or life feels unbearable, this book will help you forge an anchor, keeping you grounded and calm, living your life one breath at a time.
