| Sweet, Sweet Success When Candace returned to her doctor seven months after her diagnosis, he was amazed by the change in his patient. Her blood tests had comeback perfect. In her initial round of tests in February 2011, her thyroid- stimulating hormone (TSH) had been 3.61 (which is high, and her antibody count had been 638 (showing a major imbalance. But by September 2011, Candace’s TSH had dropped to a normal 1.15, and her antibody count was a healthy 450, even though she was no longer taking any medication. She’d healed herself in less than one year. The doctor wanted to know just what she’d been doing to get these great results. It seemed almost too good to be true. Candace explained that she knew she’d created this condition, so she’d decided to conduct an experiment on herself to uncreate it. She told the doctor that by meditating daily and maintaining an elevated state of emotion, she had been epigenetically signaling new genes instead of letting unhealthy emotions continue to signal the old genes. She explained that she’d worked regularly on who she wanted to become and that she’d stopped responding to everything in her external environment like an animal in survival mode fighting, fleeing, kicking, or screaming. Everything around her was basically the same she was just responding in away that was more loving to herself. The doctor told her, looking absolutely amazed, I wish all my patients were like you, Candace. It’s just incredible to hear your story.” 212 Candace doesn’t really know how her healing happened. She doesn’t need to. She just knows that she has become someone else. I had dinner with Candace awhile after all this happened, at a point when she had been off her medication for months and had no symptoms at all. Her health was fantastic, all her hair had grown back, and she felt great about herself. She mentioned over and over again that she was so in love with her present life. I told her, laughing, “You’re in love with life, and it’s loving you back. You should be in love with your life—you created it everyday for months that way!” Candace explained that she just trusted in an infinite field of potentials and knew that something else was going on beyond her that had helped her heal. All she really had to do was to get beyond herself and enter into the autonomic nervous system, and then keep planting the seeds fora new life. And without knowing how it happened, it just happened—and when it did, she felt better than she’d ever felt before. Candace’s life is now completely different from her life when she was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s. She’s a business partner in a personal development program that teaches self-development work, and she also maintains a corporate job. She has a loving relationship, new friendships, and new business opportunities. Anew personality ultimately creates anew personal reality. A state of being is a magnetic force that draws events equal to that state of being, so when Candace fell in love with herself, she drew a loving relationship to herself. Because she felt worthy and felt respect for herself and all of life, conditions began to show up for her in which she had opportunities to contribute, to be respected, and to make a difference in the world. And of course, when she moved into anew personality, the old personality became like another lifetime. That new physiology began to drive her to greater levels of joy and inspiration—and the disease then belonged to the old personality. She was someone else. It’s not that she became addicted to joy she was just no longer addicted to being unhappy. When she started experiencing greater levels of happiness, she found that there’s always more bliss, more joy, and more love to experience, because every experience creates a different blend of emotions. She started really wanting the challenges in her life so that she could find out to what extent she could take this information into transformation. The ultimate lesson that Candace learned was that her disease and her challenges were never about someone else—they were always about her. In her old state of being, she’d had therm belief that she was a victim of 213 her relationship and of her external circumstances and that life was always happening to her. Becoming aware of this work and taking full responsibility for herself and her life—and realizing that what had happened never had anything to do with what was outside of her—was not only a huge empowerment, but also one of the greatest gifts Candace could’ve ever asked for.
