Healing through Transcendent Experience

Did you ever have transcendent experience that has healed you completely. Transcendent moments can be moments of ecstatic joy or moments of incandescent peace.
There are stories of ordinary people who have gone through these moments under extreme circumstances. These stories will move you completely. Let me share with you one such story.

"A terminally ill patient wakes up early one morning and sees the sun rising outside the window.Motionless, struck by the mesmerising beauty , the man stares at the sky.
It is'nt sky anymore....it's an ocean of swirling colors, the fiery red flooding into magneta, the glorious orange mixing with deep violet and pink..... all of it moving,changing,rearranging itself to it's own design.... the entire sky... an artiste's palette, exuberant ,overwhelming...... The sick man touches his heart holding to the window panes with his other hand. Such beauty, such magnificence,such peace.... takes away the loneliness, the dispair.... and emerges in it's place possibility,hope.

And the man makes a choice. I am going to live. I will beat this illness. I will get well.I will move on. And he does.

A transcendent experience brought about by the ethereal beauty of nature, giving birth to a will to live followed by total healing.

The neighbour next door, watching the same sunrise at the same time, notices the beauty of sky, pauses by the window for a moment and smiles, then looks at his watch and hurries to the kitchen to begin his day.

It does not mean the neighbour is the insensitive person. It does not mean he missed a grand opportunity to change the life for the better. For him, it was simply a usual morning with an unusually beautiful sunrise. That's all. Meanwhile the sick man had Transcendent experience that changed him at the very core giving him the will to triumph over his cancer.
