Written by the late Pat Pilkington, the co-founder of the Penny Brohn Cancer Care, and with contributions from Dr Rosy Daniels, this book has emerged from Pat's 30 years of working for those with cancer. Pat and her friend Penny Brohn established the centre in 1980 to provide a more holistic support system for the treatment of cancer. The philosophy was based on seeing health or illness as the result of interacting influences between mind, body and spirit, and the environment in which people live. The Bristol Approach to Cancer has now gained wide acceptance, and their patron Prince Charles is a vocal advocate of their work. The book is far more than a history of this extraordinary centre or the autobiography of a remarkable woman. Rather it is a deeply spiritual work that aims to show how we can all find our life's meaning and purpose, and come to a true and lasting sense of peace and fulfilment.
Drawing from the inspiration of her late husband Reverend Christopher Pilkington and their mutual friend the late Reverend Tim Tiley, Pat explores such subjects as: The biology of transcendence - how joy and love affect us biologically The changes in the brain brought about by regular spiritual practice Connecting with the energy of the universe Cancer and awakening to the journey of the soul This is a deeply moving story based on the wisdom and unique insights of one Britain's most admired and respected public figures.
