I just finished reading an article from the Moores Cancer Center in San Diego that speaks to therapies/modalities that complement cancer treatment. I am encouraged by the support and acknowledgement of this medical community for Reiki, Qigong, Art Therapy, Yoga for their patients as part of their journeys. The "mind/body/spirit" connection is undeniable and I see the value of integrating all methods of healing when we provide Reiki for oncology patients and their families. I was particularly fascinated and affirmed by the information that stated, "Art, prayer, meditation and healing appear to originate from the same body source and display similar brain wave patterns." Think of the wondrous and infinite ramifications!! I have read this over and over and it validates what we know to be true as human beings. When we create space for wellness through any number of modalities, we empower ourselves and allow for our healing to occur on many levels.  It appears to be an organic process that we need to make time for, provide for and be open and aware of. The community of holistic practitioners and providers can truly be an integral part of this path of mind and body wellness. 

sending peace.
