It would be great if doctors did try to use some of these methods but in all fairness they take many, many years to perfect. I trained in meditation and then insight meditation all up for more than two decades. It is not easy.
In 1993, when I was diagnosed with the cancer I was also diagnosed with type 2 diabetes because of high blood sugars at the time. I used walking meditation that I learnt from a Tibetan master for that but I didn't get as much knowledge as I did years later with the other cancer.
The master gave me a twenty meter stretch of path and said I had to walk it in two hours. Wow. I had trouble trying to walk it in ten minutes. What I was taught to do first of all was to concentrate on the steps. Lifting the leg, moving the leg, placing the foot on the ground, shifting the balance and then lifting the other foot, etc.
Once you can do that with high level of attention, you then move on to placing the attention on the calf muscle. You have to observe it tense and then relax for each leg as you take the steps. Once you can do that with unbroken attention, you move down to a small amount of tissue and observe that. Finally you get down to observation of a small group of cells until you then reach to being able to observe a single muscle cell. All this took place in long retreats where we practiced for hours and hours every day. And we had to be interviewed by the master for him to verify that we were on the right path and to help us improve.
I found that one can simply choose to become aware of any part of the body and move the attention to that area. And then as the meditation deepens, one gains more and more clarity. I discovered this during a Zen meditation retreat. My position was near a window and mosquitoes came into the room. My teacher said we were not allowed to swat the mosquitoes. So it was not good. He told me that if a mosquito stung me that I was to make that stinging the object of my meditation. So I tried it. I did not look at the mosquito with my eyes. I simply focused my attention. After some practice I was able to observe it land, move it's proboscis (tubular mouthpart) around on my skin, then plunge it through the skin and into a capillary. I was even able to observe blood leaving the capillary and being sucked up into the mosquitos proboscis. Then it staggered a bit and finally flew away. Remarkably, the stinging didn't affect me when I used it as an object of meditation. But it also made me realize just how much we can observe.
I believe we can make these observations because there is only One Mind, the Mind of God and that we as conscious being participate on that platform. We don't have any personal minds. So the information for all of creation is in The Mind and hence we can select that information and that enables us to make the observations. This also enables us to remote view and even counter attack an enemy to stop mental attacks.
What I have come to understand is that our physicality is the manifestation of information, which God upholds in the Divine Consciousness. You can think of it as a vast matrix. The information can be amended but it can't be erased. So in making observations we are really accessing this information and in bringing it to consciousness, we observe the physical manifest form. Every cell and every part of each cell is basically information that is manifest. And we don't only observe. If we react to ideas then that reaction is an amendment, which then becomes part of the physiology. When we stop reacting there is again another amendment and that helps bring the physiology back to the resting state. I think this is what is observed as homeostasis.
