Mikveh for Completing Cancer Treatment

FIRST IMMERSION: Adonai, thank you for teaching me to separate what is holy from unholy, for setting boundaries between the sacred and the profane, and for teaching my immune system to recognize what serves my highest good, and which chaotic cells must leave and be gone for good. Please help release any harsh effects of my cancer treatments and dissolve anything that needs to be dissolved on the physical, emotional and spiritual level. Help me to return to the original blueprint of my body which is vital, healthy, and strong.

After immersing oneself completely in the mikveh:

Baruch ata adonai eloheinu melekh ha-olam asher kid-shanu b’mitzvo-tav v’tzi-vanu al ha-tevilah.

Blessed are You, Adonai, Ruler of the Universe, Who has sanctified us with mitzvot and commanded us concerning immersion.

SECOND IMMERSION: God, as I stand before you, I am grateful for the breath of life that you breathed into me when I was born and the breath of life that you continue to grant me each day. I am grateful for the powerful treatments that healed my cancer, for my powerful will, which enabled me to endure the treatments, and for my loving community which carried me through this harrowing time. Without all of these things, and without you, I would not be standing here.

Baruch ata adonai eloheinu melekh ha-olam she-heche-yanu, ve-ki-y’manu, ve-higi-yanu la-z’man ha-zeh.

Blessed are You, Source of all Life, who gave me life, sustains me, and brought me to this day of healing.

THIRD IMMERSION: Shekhinah, thank you for the mikveh, which personifies both the womb and the grave, portals to life and the afterlife, a place to be born anew. Thank you for surrounding me with your love and support during this cancer journey. Thank you for helping reconnect my body, mind and spirit so that they are once again in alignment.
