I am not sure if you guys remember this but in July of 2009 Adam Yauch (aka MCA) of the Beastie Boys announced that he had cancer.  Haven’t heard much from him since then but my hubby is on the boys mailing list and received this awesome email yesterday:

hello,

wanted to send this out to you guys in case you were into  it, or wanted to give it to anyone who you think might be.

a few friends and i are meditating at the same time twice a day. 9:30am and 6:30pm eastern standard time, for about an hour and half.

we are picturing smashing apart all of the cancer cells in the world.

we are visualizing taking the energy away from the cancer, and then sending it back at the cancer as lightening bolts that will break apart the DNA and RNA of the cells. if you have the time, please join us in whipping up this lightening storm.  mind over matter……

if you prefer to sit then sit, but if you are not used to meditating, or sitting quietly doesn’t sound like fun, put on some music and dance while you do the visualization, and if you want to do it at some other time, or picture curing some other illness that’s fine too. yoko will be joining the meditation by visualizing all of us dancing with joy to celebrate the world without cancer. all variations are welcome. this is really just being done with a wish for all beings to be cured of all illnesses and to find true lasting happiness.

i’ll also be saying prayers for the earthquake victims in tibet, so join in on that if you can too.

please feel free to pass this onto anyone who you think may find it interesting.

with all my love,

adam yauch

Love it.  Thought I would share.

Tanya: Very cool. I’m usually sitting at a desk zoned out and staring at a wall at both of those times anyway (7:30am & 4:30pm MST) so why not visualize the destruction of cancer while I’m at it?

Some sad news today coming from the Beastie Boy’s camp. Earlier in the day Adam Yauch (aka MCA) posted the above YouTube video letting his fans know that he will be having surgery next week to operate on what he says is a “treatable” cancerous tumor. Watch the above video to get all the details. While all cancer is serious, it sounds like he will be able to over come this once he receives the required treatment.

I L-O-V-E the Beastie Boys. They were on my “Bands I need to see before I die” list. My hubby surprised me with a trip to Vancouver a few years back when they toured to support The 5 Boroughs. I waited in line for like 5 hours to be front and centre for the show. They were AMAAAAAZING….didn’t disappoint, played everything I wanted to here and then some. Its amazing to see those guys kick it like they can even though they are all in the 40s.

Hopefully all his fans out there are able to learn from MCA’s experience…always make sure you are listening to your body and make sure that you get a check up on anything that you are unsure or worried about.  You can never be too careful when it comes to your health and early detection is the key to treating cancer.

Lets send all our positive energy and healing thoughts to MCA and his family and friends during this time.
