Transcript of Simone's Story - Infantile leukaemia
NEW LIFE
Amsterdam 2007 HEATHER BRUCE
WHAT ARE WE HERE FOR? Whose script do we follow?
What inner voices do we respond to? Who is running the inner programmes?
What is health/disease?
What is ‘real’?
Whose ‘real’ is most real?
Amsterdam 2007 HEATHER BRUCE
SIMONE’S LIFE • Born – 12.9.87 5lb 6oz
• 400 gram placenta, very dried out. ACUTE leukaemia – born to die
First visit 27.9.87 • Scrawny, sleepy scrap of humanity • Liver and Spleen very enlarged, Haemorrhaged from bowel
• Green poo very, very coloured urine
Amsterdam 2007 HEATHER BRUCE
SIMONE’S PROGNOSIS
“There is no hope”.
“She will die within the next couple of weeks – do you want to leave her here to die, or
take her home to die”?
What would you have done?
Amsterdam 2007 HEATHER BRUCE
SIMONE’S STORY? Gracefully live each breath to
the best of my ability
Maybe it is not up to me, or you
Maybe we are just players to assist the one who is my
dad/doctor/whomever here listening today . . .
Amsterdam 2007 HEATHER BRUCE
ONCOLOGIST’S STORY
Even if one chance in a million that chemotherapy may help, he would not do it as would
radically injure her developing brain.
Amsterdam 2007 HEATHER BRUCE
IS SHE TO LIVE? What if that is not a given, & all we have to do is follow the steps as they
appear?
What if this is all we EVER have to do? What if all any of us need to do is to
follow, rather than lead . . . AND Live more in our hearts and less in our
heads. . .
Amsterdam 2007 HEATHER BRUCE
QUESTIONS What are we trying to prove by
performing any intervention?
That we are better than . . . That we can conquer . . .
Is the will of ???? to be done, or our’s, or their personality’s . . .
‘it hurts’ etc
Amsterdam 2007 HEATHER BRUCE
Asking the Obvious Is death an enemy? Is ‘life’ our friend?
Why has this being arrived with me, now?
DO I DO ANYTHING?
What script do I need to access to even start?
Amsterdam 2007 HEATHER BRUCE
WHAT DID DAD DO? • Listen to a work colleague who said
that his wife may be able to help . . .
• Decided to give her a go, as there was not one thing to lose –
hope had departed, so why not try the ridiculous?
HOPE
Amsterdam 2007 HEATHER BRUCE
WHAT DID I DO? Assume that I had no idea why/what
to do.
That she was with me, and dad had agreed for some reason, and to just
follow
whatever happened next - it would become obvious
Amsterdam 2007 HEATHER BRUCE
WHAT WAS I THINKING?
• Palliative care. • Treat what was in front of me.
Amsterdam 2007 HEATHER BRUCE
• What do we do instead? • Hide behind a mask/façade?
• Look blank, and say nothing to be done? • Try to ‘fix’ it?
• Give it our best shot?
• Let go and be a conduit for whatever?
• ACCEPT NO LIMITATIONS
Amsterdam 2007 HEATHER BRUCE
PLAYERS • Mum - wants this horror to end quickly • Dad - wants daughter to be perfect • Baby - (Simone) ??????
• Heather - anything is possible • Other healers – as required – bit parts • Dianne (Reiki) – “absent” and on site
healing as needed/unconditional loving
Amsterdam 2007 HEATHER BRUCE
TREATMENT STRATEGIES
ASK FOR ASSISTANCE In any area
Look to life what SHOULD be happening?

TIBETAN BUDDHIST MEDICINE
• All beings, whatever form, are exposed to different forms of suffering.
• Whether ‘healthy’ or not, we all have latent diseases awaiting.
• Origins of all – IGNORANCE – gives rise to desire, gives rise to hatred, pride, jealousy, harsh speech, more obscuration,
and around it goes . . . .
Amsterdam 2007 HEATHER BRUCE
Amsterdam 2007 HEATHER BRUCE
DISORDERS/ “CAUSE” 1 - Actions pre ‘now’ (karma fruiting)
2 - Of this lifetime - earlier on this lifetime, coming through later (this
now) 3 - Involving spirits
4 - Superficial – follow lifestyle and behaviour patterns and will not need
external assistance.
Amsterdam 2007 HEATHER BRUCE
WHAT ABOUT ALL OF THEM
simultaneously?
Who says it is all or nothing? What if the reason for it all has to
be attended to FIRST?
Amsterdam 2007 HEATHER BRUCE
YANG/resonant – density/YIN
• Souls in transit
• Having a human experience within a mammalian wrapper
• The journey IS the destination
• Physical ‘real’ world • Science/evidence
based/ ‘facts’/data • Body is raw
material
• Death & disease are to be eradicated
Amsterdam 2007 HEATHER BRUCE
ACUPUNCTURE/TUI NA As she presented
When clotting became unlikely - Metamorphic technique
REIKI
Always – love, intention, & Dad’s will to fight
PRIMARY PATIENT - DAD
Amsterdam 2007 HEATHER BRUCE
WHAT STIRRED DAD THE MOST?
• Seeing her death certificate awaiting only a date and signature, PLUS her near bleeding out – at the same hospital visit.
• Her parents’ acceptance of her imminent departure lead to her changing her script.
• Then we married east and west, until remission – then west won
Amsterdam 2007 HEATHER BRUCE
WHAT WAS MOST EFFECTIVE?
BEING PRESENT
& hassling Dad to accept what was going on in the minute, & not accepting what anyone else (even me) had to say.
What did HE what for HER?

WHEN DID ‘HOPE’ SPRING FOR THE MEDICAL AUTHORITIES?
When she looked like she was
‘in remission’
Amsterdam 2007 HEATHER BRUCE
HOW DID WE GET THERE?
8 weeks after commencing twice daily 90 minute sessions with Heather, many
hands on, and more Reiki hands off (absent) encounters with Dianne.
PLUS Prednisone,
& numerous whole blood transfusions – all against the medical advice, as they thought it slowing the inevitable . . .
Amsterdam 2007 HEATHER BRUCE
Amsterdam 2007 HEATHER BRUCE
MUM’S ULTIMATUM
Either you agree to starting chemotherapy immediately, or you
leave & the medical lawyers will take over Simone’s guardianship.
WHY? Prednisone has never cured a case of leukaemia. (She will die if we do
not try to save her . . . )
Amsterdam 2007 HEATHER BRUCE
Amsterdam 2007 HEATHER BRUCE
WHAT DO WE GO WITH?
Physical ‘real’ world – the ‘evidence’
Death & disease are to be eradicated
Amsterdam 2007 HEATHER BRUCE
We are souls in transit
OUR SPIRIT SOARING? The journey IS the
destination
Amsterdam 2007 HEATHER BRUCE
PROGNOSIS
DEPENDS upon WHETHER
WE CHOOSE TO WORK
with OR against
LIFE/SPIRIT AND NATURAL FLOWS
