    About this ebook

    Diagnosed in late February 2019 with terminal brain cancer, Maureen was given as little as four months to live. Against the odds, her healing continued through weeks and then months of traditional and integrative healing practices. In this inspirational self-help book, readers will get to follow her journey with her irreverent sense of humour, humble insight, and wisdom gained through her healing. Her radiant courage and grace facing her diagnosis, prognosis, and self-healing contain life lessons for everyone. This book will reveal how one can be positive and be self-loving in times of difficulties.

    Maureen Tonge

    Born in New Brunswick, Maureen made her second home in Yellowknife, NWT where she spent 28 years teaching at a local high school. Her passion for Kundalini yoga offered connections around the world. Maureen’s spirituality and strong beliefs in integrative energetic healing led her through a miraculous journey. Maureen made her final transition on October 5, 2020 at home surrounded by her loving family. Kirsten Tonge is Maureen’s identical twin, a lawyer living in Abbotsford, British Columbia. It was a gift of love to be able to assist with completing this book on Maureen’s behalf.
