In the Yogic system, cancer cells are compared to criminals in society. A few individuals here and there committing petty crimes do not really affect us, but when they gang up together in one place, something begins to happen. The shift from petty crime to organised crime is a serious problem. Similarly, cancerous cells are present in all our bodies, but a few of them are not going to affect your life or health in any way. As long as they are loafing around by themselves, it is not an issue. It is only when they increase beyond a certain percentage that they begin to cause problems.

Why Does Cancer Happen?

In Yoga, we look at it this way: when certain kinds of blanks happen in the energy body — either because of a person’s attitude, food, lifestyle, or some other factor — an atmosphere conducive to the growth of cancerous cells is created. If the flow of energy is not proper in a certain part of the body, cancerous cells choose that place to hide and fester. Periodic cleansing of the body and a few other simple practices and lifestyle choices can play an important role in preventing this from happening.
