For Blacks and other people of color, finding ways to address suffering organically is key. In these communities, cancer attacks people who often have few resources for dealing with it. In this book, the author provides access to Zen Buddhism and Dance Meditation as valuable supports during cancer treatment. This work provides unencumbered pathways to peace, which aid in changing internal and mental constructs that often prolong the suffering of individuals and communities. Given historical experiences of poor health care and poverty, people in these communities can be reluctant to seek care. This book provides alternative ways of approaching new thought patterns and obtaining reasonable health care services for patients and their loved ones. These practices promote better lives through attentive and skillful action in health and daily living.
