Spiritual awakening after a cancer diagnosis
Victor Solé’s spiritual awakening comes after hitting rock bottom.
Víctor Solé tells us in this interview how his life changed completely after a cancer diagnosis.
In many cases, one has an awakening of consciousness and spiritual awakening after hitting rock bottom. This can be after an illness, accident, unexpected death in the close environment, are events that make you think, feel vulnerable and realize what is important in life.
In Victor’s case, he went from a perfect life, a settled life in Washington, with a good job at the United Nations, a perfect house and a perfect wife in principle.
Many of the cases of awakening come after having achieved the material or external objectives, a house, a car, the perfect wife and job, because then we do not realize that, despite having achieved everything that in theory would make us happy, we feel a tremendous sense of emptiness and discomfort.
After a difficult period in which Victor was low on energy, the illness came. A cancer diagnosis made him make life-changing decisions. According to Victor tells us, some diseases can come from being energetically wrong. Stress and anxiety are triggers of numerous pathologies and diseases.
What is Spiritual Respect
Spiritual awakening is a process in which a person becomes aware of a deeper dimension of reality and his or her relationship to it. It may involve a greater understanding of spirituality, religion, philosophy, consciousness and connection to self, others and the world. It can manifest itself in different ways and can be experienced differently by different people.
Awakening of consciousness is a process in which a person becomes more aware of himself, his environment and his relationship with others. This may involve a greater understanding of oneself and the causes and consequences of actions, thoughts and emotions. It can include a greater sense of connection with self, others and the world, as well as greater acceptance of self and others. Awakening of consciousness can be an ongoing process and can be promoted through meditation, reflection, reading and exploration of different spiritual and philosophical traditions.
The Symptoms of Spiritual Awakening
Symptoms of spiritual awakening can vary from person to person, but some of the most common include:
- Changes in perception of reality: people may begin to see the world in a different way, with a greater understanding of the connections between things and a sense of oneness with everything around them.
- Increased sense of connection with self and others: people may feel a greater sense of love and compassion for themselves and others.
- Increased sense of peace and serenity: people can feel a greater sense of calm and tranquility, even in stressful situations.
- Greater sense of purpose and meaning: people may feel a greater sense of purpose and meaning in their lives, and may feel more motivated to make a positive change in the world.

- Changes in relationships: people may begin to move away from toxic relationships and seek more meaningful and nurturing relationships.
- Changes in thinking and feeling: people may begin to see the world in a more positive way, and may experience a change in the way they think and feel about things.

Touching Bottom in Life
Hitting bottom in life refers to a moment or period of time in which a person experiences great difficulty or suffering, whether due to personal, financial, health, relational or other problems. It can be a borderline situation, where a person feels desperate, hopeless, lost, even thinking of suicide. It can be a time of great pain, sadness, loneliness, uncertainty and hopelessness. Often, hitting bottom is considered a critical point in a person’s life, as it can be a time of major change and an opportunity to grow and learn. However, it is important to mention that hitting rock bottom can also be very difficult and painful, and may require support and help to overcome.
Touching bottom to awaken Consciousness
Hitting bottom can be a difficult and painful experience, but it can also be an opportunity for an awakening of consciousness. When a person is faced with a borderline situation, they may be forced to confront their fears, insecurities and personal issues, and this can lead to a greater understanding of oneself and the causes and consequences of actions, thoughts and emotions.
Touching bottom can lead to a greater sense of connection with oneself and others, as it can help a person see the interconnectedness between all things and develop greater compassion and empathy for oneself and others. It can also lead to a greater sense of peace and serenity, as it can help a person accept things as they are and find greater tranquility in the midst of chaos.
On the other hand, some people may feel a greater sense of purpose and meaning in their lives after hitting rock bottom, as they may find greater motivation to make positive change in the world and in their lives. However, it is important to mention that hitting bottom can be a difficult process and needs a good accompaniment and support to overcome it and be able to reach the awakening of consciousness.
Cancer Disease
Cancer is a global public health problem, with an estimated 18.1 million new cases and 9.6 million deaths in 2018. It is the second leading cause of death worldwide and accounts for approximately one in six deaths. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), cancer is responsible for more than 8 million deaths each year and is expected to increase by 70% in the next two decades. The latest global statistics on cancer show that it is responsible for more than 12% of all deaths worldwide, making it one of the leading causes of death globally.

Spiritual awakening is the process of connecting with a higher power, some call it God, others call it the Universe, and understanding our true purpose in life. It is a journey of self-discovery and growth that can lead to a deeper understanding of the world around us.
Cancer Diagnosis
A cancer diagnosis can have a significant psychological impact on a person. The initial reaction may be shock, disbelief, and denial, followed by a variety of emotions such as fear, sadness, anxiety, anger, guilt, shame, etc. It is common to feel a sense of loss of control over life and the future.
In addition, a cancer diagnosis can lead to changes in interpersonal relationships, as it can affect communication and social support, both within the family and among friends. It can generate a great emotional burden on caregivers and family members, generating a situation of stress and anxiety.
In some cases, the diagnosis of cancer can generate a change in self-image and self-esteem, generating a feeling of insecurity and vulnerability. On the other hand, the interaction with the health network and the need to make important treatment-related decisions can generate great emotional burden and stress.
It is important to mention that it is common for people to experience a variety of emotions and reactions to a cancer diagnosis and there is no right or wrong answer. The important thing is to receive support and help in dealing with the emotions and difficulties that arise from the diagnosis.
Disease and energetic blockage
Although increasingly common, Western medicine is still reluctant to consider the energetic perspective on health.
Traditional Chinese medicine and other alternative healing traditions such as acupuncture, acupressure and reflexology, hold that energy blockages in the body can cause disease. According to these traditions, vital energy, known as “chi” or “qi”, flows through channels called “meridians” in the body. If this energy does not flow freely, blockages can occur that can manifest in the form of illness or physical pain.
Some diseases believed to be caused by energy blockages include:
- Headache and migraines: believed to be caused by blockages in the meridians linking the head and neck.
- Stomach and digestive problems: believed to be caused by blockages in the meridians related to the stomach and intestine.
- Musculoskeletal problems: believed to be caused by blockages in the meridians related to muscles and bones.
- Mental health problems: believed to be caused by blockages in the meridians related to the nervous system and the brain.
Diseases of fear (Stress)
Stress is a normal response of the body to challenging situations or changes in life. However, when stress becomes chronic or is experienced excessively, it can have negative effects on physical and mental health. Some diseases that are related to stress include:
- Heart problems: chronic stress can increase the risk of heart disease, such as high blood pressure and myocardial infarction.
- Digestive problems: stress can cause gastrointestinal disorders, such as irritable bowel syndrome and gastritis.
- Mental health problems: Chronic stress can contribute to mental disorders, such as anxiety and depression.
- Immune problems: Chronic stress can weaken the immune system, which can increase the risk of infectious diseases.
- Sleep problems: stress can disrupt sleep and cause insomnia.
- Skin problems: stress can cause skin disorders such as acne and dermatitis.
- Musculoskeletal problems: chronic stress can cause headaches, muscle aches and fatigue.
It is important to mention that stress is not the only cause of these diseases, and that there are a variety of factors that contribute to their onset. However, managing stress effectively can help reduce the risk of developing these diseases and improve overall well-being.
