The LOVEE Method: Mindfulness Meditation for Breast Cancer
The LOVEE Method is a five-step mindfulness tool to cultivate emotional resilience and reduce anxiety, anger, and depression. The meditation practices of LOVEE (Label, Observe, Value, Embrace, and Equanimity) have been proven by research to cultivate self-compassion, inner strength, and a balanced mind. Sharon offers free cancer-specific meditations on her website, including audio meditations to listen to during chemotherapy and post-surgery for pain management.
In this teaching memoir, health journalist Sharon Brock shares her personal story with breast cancer and how she uses mindfulness meditation to navigate this challenging time. With honesty, courage, and humor, Sharon weaves these practices into her memoir as she reveals the emotional roller coaster one faces when coping with cancer--from the fear of death, to changes in her physical body, to how the illness affects her love life. Her engaging vulnerability makes this book not only a practical guide, but also a comforting source of support for women to feel understood and not alone on this journey.
This book is unique in that it highlights the intersection of science and spirituality. Sharon's story serves as evidence that Eastern modalities and Western medicine can work together for optimal healing. With the help of The LOVEE Method, Sharon grew stronger and wiser through her journey, and with this book, she hopes to help other women on this path to experience this same awakening.

This was the perfect listen for me as I prepare for an upcoming surgery. Although the LOVEE method is the author's own, it did not feel like something different to learn, rather a synthesis of what I have been learning about mindfulness meditation, applied to the particular situation of cancer. The practice works well in other life situations, as the author demonstrated when applying it to the end of an important relationship in her life. The included guided meditations are very helpful. I expect to be returning to this recording again and again.
