Letter from the Program Director

Greetings

from Cynthia Hutchison Healing Touch Program Director

Dear Readers,

Since the beginning of 2010 - the new decade - I have had the busiest flurry of emails and phone calls that I can remember in my seven plus years administrating Healing Touch Pro-gram. The communications are related to the experience of our growth. More institutions and hospitals are embracing the teaching of HT, and students are increasingly committed to de-veloping career paths where they can use HT. The news about Healing Touch Program’s pursuing national accreditation status over this next year has been heard, embraced and spread by many. This will make HT Program the first energy medicine program in the country to be nationally accredited! Students, practitioners, and those who have hesitated in the past to take classes are seeing how accreditation is the next step for HTP to increase its visibility and credibility in main-stream health care. We are now in our 21st year of providing Janet Mentgen’s worldwide standardized curriculum and the decade between 2010 and 2020 holds great promise for the continued growing recognition of energy medicine and HTP.

With all the new and exciting activity, our new website is up just in time! Please take a few minutes to visit www.healing-touchprogram.com. We have beautified the whole site, updated everything, made it more user-friendly and have added some new features.

As we move into the future, we regretfully acknowledge the passing of a dear friend of Healing Touch Program, Dr. Brugh Joy. Janet Mentgen became friends with Dr. Joy many years

ago, after being introduced to him by Myra Tovey, who studied with Brugh for many years and was one of Janet’s core faculty when she was developing HT. Dr. Joy gave his blessing for Janet to incorporate his teach-ings into HTP’s curriculum. Just a few years ago, Bill Mentgen, Janet’s son, met with him and was able to show him HTP’s new Technique Review Cards with several of Dr. Joy’s meth-ods represented. Dr. Joy was very pleased and continued his long time support of HTP. His heart-centered teachings and practices are an intrinsic part of HTP, most notably the Chakra Connection (Level 1), the Heart-to-Heart Meditation (Level 1), and the Spiral Meditation (Level 2). We continue to rec-ommend his book Joy’s Way: A Map for the Transformational Journey, to students and practitioners. Many of us remember well how he described the four attributes of the heart -- Com-passion, Innate Harmony, Healing Presence and Unconditional Love. Thank you Brugh, for your life of dedication, compassion and vision! Thank you for so generously sharing your teachings with us. We will be forever grateful for your major contribution to Healing Touch Program. Please see the dedication to Brugh on page 5 of this issue of Energy Magazine.

With wishes for a fulfilling and inspiring February,

Cynthia

Healing Touch Program has a Beautiful New Website!

We have changed the look, updated and streamlined the website making navigating much easier. The latest news is now accessible from the home page!

Love is such a big word, it really should have more letters. –Kobi Yamada


continued on page 9

I have spent 11 years on a healing journey since a diagnosis of Stage III breast cancer. Before my mastectomy, I nourished my body with healthy, organic foods according to a macrobiotic diet and I got plenty of sleep. I learned how to medi-tate. I also continued to walk daily, but I did not dialogue with my cells! In the intervening years I have learned how to do just that. What a differ-ence it makes in how my body responds to sur-gery, illness, stress, fatigue, even the small daily changes.

Since my cancer, I have also become interested in how our cells work. What did I or didn’t I do to weaken my immune system and prevent it from detecting cancer cells? How do our cells respond to the internal and external environment? How are chemical signals received at the level of the cell membrane?

Neuroscience research has uncovered many of the chemical signals that trigger physiological changes in the body during trauma and recovery. These signals include the “molecules of emotion” so well explained by Dr. Candace Pert in her book by that title and also the signals from thoughts described by Dr. Bruce Lipton. In The Biology of Belief (2005) Lipton reveals the role the cell membrane plays in regulating cell activity. Em-bedded in the membrane are protein receptor molecules that sense incoming molecules (or signals). Lipton describes how these incoming molecules communicate what is present in the

environment so that the cell may appropriately respond. What is perceived may be the external environment such as temperature, amount of light, sounds, or the energy fields of others. Cells also perceive an internal environ-ment, which includes our emotions, perceptions and our thoughts. Lipton then argues that we have the abil-ity to regulate our genes to the degree that we change our thoughts and thought patterns. New thoughts will be perceived by proteins in cell membranes that will in turn regulate the expression of different genes – ones used in cell repair, reduction of pain or in generating good feel-ings. So healing can happen at the level of thought when we choose to engage our minds for our own highest good.

Julie Motz, author of Hands of Life, was one of the first intuitive energy healers invited into the operating room by Dr. Mehmet Oz, a cardiologist at Columbia Presby-terian Hospital in New York City. It was the mid-nineties.

After observing several heart transplant surgeries, she became aware of what the cells in the patient’s body were communicat-ing. Not only did she perceive the cell memory of the outgoing heart, she “read” the cell memory of the incoming heart and was then able to help the patient understand new feelings and new memories contained in this donor heart. Motz extended her work to prepare patients before surgery and assist with their recovery afterwards. By informing the patient’s cells about what to expect during the pre-operative through post-operative procedures, the patient experienced reduced pain, decreased blood loss, and faster recovery time. Motz was soon asked to help prepare women for breast cancer surgeries and children for brain surgeries.

So how can you prepare for surgery in this way? It is simple. Include your cells among those you tell about the impending procedure. Dialogue with them. Let them know what to expect. If you are uncertain, ask a member of your surgical team to ex-plain the details of the procedure. It need not be complex. I was able to test this during a minor surgery I had three years ago. I let my cells know about the insertion of an IV. I asked my skin cells and veins to readily accept the needle that would deliver anesthesia and keep me hydrated. I asked my cells to cooper-ate in being severed and in accepting all surgical instruments being used to restore my health. I asked them to conserve blood and reserve it for cell repair. I asked them to do all this without pain. Lastly I thanked my cells in advance for their co-operation. I also thanked my team for working together to bring healing. So it was really no surprise when the surgical

The Art and Practice of...

pain medication and anesthesia wore off - I experienced no pain. I kept waiting for it, but it never came. The site of surgery bled for two hours, not the predicted week. I have since used this technique for two oral surgeries with great success. I am convinced some of the pain we experience comes when our cells are taken by surprise. Let them know what to expect and they respond with ease instead of fear.

During the three years I have worked with clients in my Heal-ing Touch practice, there have been many occasions where I placed my hands above a knee or missing ovary and perceived the cells still screaming years after a surgery. Even this cell memory can be erased. I was able to ask the skin, muscle, nerve, fat and bone cells at the site of my mastectomy for for-giveness nine years later - forgiveness for not having informed them of what to expect because I did not have this awareness at the time.

At Albany Medical Center, nurses are using Healing Touch techniques to prepare patients before surgery and assist them afterwards. In this energetic exchange between patient and practitioner, the body is able to relax, the breath is able to freely flow and energy goes where it is most needed. In this way our cells are informed and supported. It makes sense. No person likes being caught off guard – and neither do our cells.

Give a lasting gift to someone you know who is about to have surgery. Sue’s CD: Prepare Your Body for Surgery and Recovery is available through the Healing Touch Store.

BIOGRAPHY Sue Van Hook grew up immersed in nature and believes that maintaining a connection to the earth is essential for well-being. As a Healing Touch Certified Practitioner, she uses gentle touch to foster relaxation and balance the energy field to support the body’s natural abilities to heal. She often uses the Motz intuitive energy methods to identify and assist in the release of emotional memories at the root of pain, dysfunc-tion, or illness. Sue brings her expertise in biol-ogy and personal experience with breast cancer, Reiki, shamanic journeying, and active dream-work to her practice.

We hold the future in our hands... Let’s keep it intact.

Celebrating! Healing With JoyCyndi Dale, Author, Energy Healer, Workshop Leader

Joy is the most powerful healing tool on this planet. The wise have known this for ages, calling forth the celebratory energy of joy to produce concrete transformation. Science is now proving that joy as an energy, idea, and emotion can heal, especially when encouraged through the heart. Let’s journey through the history and science of joy—and then “join” in “enjoyment,” using techniques leading to treasures for self and others.

Cyndi Dale is the author of more than nine books on energy medicine and healing, including The Subtle Body: An Encyclopedia of Your Energetic Anatomy and The Complete Book of Chakra Healing. During her 25 years of private practice, she has assisted over 30,000

individuals with accessing the true healing powers of love, wisdom, and spirituality. Most important, she believes, is her work in helping others awaken their inner gifts so they might better express them in the world. Cyndi travels extensively to ports around the world, leading workshops and constantly seeking new learning, but credits most of her practical knowledge to her two sons, five animals, and foster daughter.

Being the Sleuth: Detecting Culprits in Energy DisturbancesSharon Scandrett-Hibdon, RN, PhD, HTCP/ICarol Komitor, CMT, HTCP/I, CHBMT, HTACP, ESMT

This presentation helps the energy medicine practitioner to determine the causation of the body’s energy disturbance through logical understanding and problem solving. The detective approach to finding the culprit energy disturbance will allow the practitioner to facilitate healing from the root of the problem. Sharon and Carol demonstrate this in-depth process of “detective work” through an easily understood and direct manner. The practitioner becomes the “stealth” and healing takes place from the inside—out.

Sharon Scandrett-Hibdon is a “young” elder who teaches 1-5 levels of Healing Touch and is training for Level 1 of Healing Touch for Animals. She chairs the Healing Touch Program Certification Board and is a director on the Healing Touch Worldwide Foundation board. Sharon runs a NARHA equestrian center on her farm in Iowa. She has authored the Energetic Counseling course and Energetic Patterns. Currently Sharon lives in mecca with skiing and a five star hotel within ten miles of her farm.

As a Healing Touch Certified Practitioner/Instructor, Certified Massage Therapist, Certified Hospital Based Massage Therapist and Equine Sports Massage Therapist, Carol Komitor has taken her thirteen-year background as a veterinary technician and deep love for animals to develop energy-medicine techniques for animals. The teaching offers a cooperative model that bridges holistic animal healthcare with traditional veterinary medicine. The Healing Touch for Animals® Techniques have been developed or adapted by Carol through study, private practice and experiential knowledge of energy-based healing.

The (other) Joy of Healing: Dancing at the Edge of Evolutionary TransformationJanet Quinn, PhD, RN, FAAN, PhD

While participating in the healing of others through our work is a source of great joy, it is not the only joy of healing. The purpose of this keynote speech is to energize and inspire Healing Touch practitioners to continue the journey of the heart for the joy of and in service to the unfolding mystery of evolutionary transformation and ever increasing universal wholeness.

Janet is an interspiritual spiritual guide in private practice; former Spiritual Director in Residence of the Claritas Institute Interspiritual Mentor Training Program, a retreat/workshop facilitator; a professor of nursing; an international speaker and consultant in Healing, Caring, Spirituality and Healing and Integrative Medicine/Nursing; and the owner, artist, and everything person for Wisdom Stones, which

manufactures/distributes her “touchstones to what matters most.” She is one of the earliest pioneers in Therapeutic Touch practice and research and has taught both all over the world. Janet is a long-time practitioner/student of the Christian Contemplative Tradition, a practicing Sufi in two lineages and a student of the Perennial Wisdom. She is the author of a book of affirmations and meditations for women entitled I Am A Woman Finding My Voice.

The Transformational Power of Intention, Touch and Earthly “Medicines”Linda Smith, RN, MS, HN-BC, HTCP, HTSM-CP/I, CCA

How do you bring new life into your healing work with others? Through the power of transformation—yours and that of your clients. This presentation will take a new look at the power of word and intention (prayer) and examine how our touch conveys love, compassion, understanding and a myriad of other “vibrational” frequencies. Then we will explore how the vibrations of “Medicines of the Earth” in the form of living organic substances (essential oils) can help transform body/mind/spirit and bring joy to your healing work.

Linda L. Smith is the founder of the Institute of Spiritual Healing and Aromatherapy. After a successful career in traditional nursing settings, she has devoted the last twenty years to complementary forms of healing including holistic nursing, Healing Touch, Healing Touch Spiritual Ministry and aromatherapy. As a healer and educator, she is passionate that her students learn to integrate more than one form of energy healing. She is the author of several books on healing and on aromatherapy and travels and teaches throughout the United States, the Caribbean and Europe.

Sacred Geometry and Symbology in Healing TouchCynthia Hutchison, DNSc, RN, MSN, HTCP/I

Much to the surprise of many practitioners, sacred symbology and geometry are present in the teachings and practices of Healing Touch. Cynthia will present selected aspects of sacred geometry and symbology and show how they are evident in HT and how being consciously aware of this can deepen the energetic practice of healing. In addition to lecture and visual presentation, participants will share in experiential teachings using paper and pencil as well the practice of eurythmy, an expressive human movement art form brought by Rudolph Steiner in the early 1900s.

Cynthia Hutchison is the Director of the Healing Touch Program™. In the early 1980s, she began studying holistic healing, natural healing and energy therapies. She is an avid student of spirituality and energy medicine. A doctorally-prepared nurse from the Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C. (1987), Cynthia is also knowledgeable in the mainstream health sciences. Cynthia earned a master’s degree as a clinical specialist in mental health nursing, and has maintained a private practice in Healing Touch for many years. In 1995, Cynthia initiated the research program for Healing Touch and became the first Director of Research, a position she maintained until 2000. She was invited by Janet Mentgen (founder of HT) in 2003 to serve as the Assistant Program Director. Cynthia became the Program Director in May of 2005 (several months before Janet’s death), and was asked by Janet to carry on her legacy of the Healing Touch Program. Teaching internationally and nationally all levels of HTP curriculum, she brings much enthusiasm, empowerment and creativity to her classes. A mother of three awesome daughters in college, Cynthia has lived in Boulder, Colorado since 1993.

Healing Touch Program comes to Mission Hospital

“A t first I was frustrated being the only one doing Healing Touch on my shift,“ said Karen Meadows, RN, who has been using HT in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Mission Hospi-tal in Asheville, NC since she began taking HT classes. In an interview, she said she has been doing energy work for years; HT is the latest. “I knew once I ‘owned it’ (energy work) it was im-portant to learn more so that I could be a catalyst for others within and without the medical system.”

Experience with energy work has taught Karen there is more than one plane of awareness. “And now,” she says “there’s an ‘institutional awareness’ coming from the top down, that is mak-ing a huge difference in the hospital. She is very grateful for the support from administration so that integrative therapies are offered at Mission Hospital.

The following is what motivates Karen and is so vital to her personally -- thus encouraging her to foster HT:

• She has attended classes in HT and other energy work, accruing over 100 hours. • Frequently consults with other HT students and practitioners in the hospital. • Attends monthly HT practice sessions. • As a HT Level 4 student, she is now a Healing Touch Practitioner Apprentice and is doing a one year mentorship with a Healing Touch Certified Practitioner. • Gathers networking ideas from other units such as posters for the unit bulletin board. • Attends retreats and training “as renewals and for my self-care,” • Frequently offers energy work to open-minded staff members.

• Mentions HT whenever possible so that she is constantly planting “seeds of interest.” • Above all, she uses prayer and intention - to attract energy to The Work.

“I storm heaven’s gates,” she said, “and it works when we love what we do and do what we love.”

With all this, Karen feels that doors are opening for her. For example, she was notified that she would be pinned after win-ning her Holistic Nursing Resource Certification. When Karen showed the information to her Head Nurse, she was told “I’ll be there for you.” This was very significant to her, as was the sub-sequent five-minute “huddle” during shift report, where nurses complimented her on receiving the certification. “That was also a notable introduction to holistic nursing for some of the staff , ” she happily added.

Recently 20 nurses from her unit attended the special two-day retreat offered by Mission Hospital for staff. They were sur-prised and very interested in the “new” concepts of integrative medicine that was offered to them. “I believe their experiential and helpful exposure,” Karen said, “allowed the nurses to have ‘ownership’ of what they experienced.”

Karen also mentions the Alternative Health Options (AHO) plan in which Mission Hospital participates that offers discounts for integrative therapies to hospital employees. (AHO-network.com)

Finally, Karen Meadows urges hospital staff to take any oppor-tunity to support change - be it attending a certification program, training, or whatever is offered -- and also -- to spread the word about other institutions that currently support Healing Touch.

And she adds Reikli Master, Hypnotherapist, and Intuitive Healer/Consultant credentials, to her practice. In 2006 she earned a Master of Divinity Degree and was ordained Minsiter of Peace with the Beloved Community.

Anne traveled with Janet Mentgen and an HT teaching group to Australia/New Zealand three times in HT’s early years and was inspired to draw angels; she later created quilted energy pillows and gemstone pendulums.

Touching Body, Tending Soul: Spiritual Dimensions of Healing PracticeTele-course Offering by Janet F. Quinn, PhD, RN, FAAN

This tele-course was offered last fall and received such favorable reviews that we are offering it again this Spring. Two class sections being offered; Tuesdays, March 2, - April 6 and Thursdays, March 4 - April 8.

Drawing from the spiritual insights of Florence Nightingale and the collective wisdom underlying all of the world’s religions (the Perennial Philosophy), this course explores the spiritual dimensions of heal-ing practice. It focuses primarily on the healing practitioner as a spiritual being and on the practitioner’s work as a path to deep spiritual unfolding. The accumulated spiritual wisdom of our human history is clear: the sharing of true compassion and unconditional love has the extraordinary power of transform-ing us into deeply peaceful and joyful human beings. Click here to see the topics that will be covered.

Participants will meet for a total of 6 sessions of 1.5 hours each by tele-conference phone bridge – a very convenient way for groups of people to be on the phone simultaneously in a large conference call. There will be time in each session for spiri-tual practice together, presentation and questions and discussion. Twelve (12) continuing education hours are available for nurses and massage therapists.

I have planted Thyme in my garden. Thyme, one of the oldest known medicinal herbs, was report-edly used for embalming in ancient Egypt and documented as early as 3500 B.C. The wild va-riety is known as “Mother O’Thyme” and it grows vigorously in valleys and on rocks and in other-wise stony and abandoned fields. It has a sweet, yet pungent smell that is distinctive. It has been used as an antiseptic and has both stimulant and relaxant properties so that it tends to regulate whatever systems are in need. Thyme is used as a remedy for melancholy and is recognized for its use to invigorate and assist in convalescing after an illness. It is a culinary herb as well.

The Greek word for Thyme is “thumon” which means cour-

age (thumos). At the time of the Crusades, Knights would

have thyme woven into their scarves before they left for battle.

While researching Thyme, with its unique properties known as

“mother” and a symbol of courage, I reflected on my Healing

Touch journey and how I have been able to use this wonder-

ful healing modality in my daily life. Since completing Healing

Touch Program level 5, I have three specific examples I would

like to share.

First, my mother travels to the nursing home to visit her own

mother almost every day. Some days Mamon doesn’t even

recognize her daughter. Nevertheless, Mama will sit with her,

feed her and bring her soft-serve ice cream in an attempt to

How Does Your Garden Grow?

How Does Your Garden Grow? is a new monthly series (running from October 09-February 10) that will feature an article written by four sisters who are involved in Healing Touch. Each sister picked an herb to mirror and share her thoughts and parallels based on the song Scarborough Fair by Simon & Garfunkel.

Lyrics to “Scarborough Fair” by Simon and Garfunkel

Are you goin’ to scarborough fair? parsley, sage, rosemary and thymeRemember me to one who lives there, she once was a true love of mine

Tell her to make me a cambric shirt, parsley, sage, rosemary and thymeWithout no seams nor needlework, then she’ll be a true love of mine

Tell her to find me an acre of land, parsley, sage, rosemary and thymeBetween the salt water and the sea strand, then she’ll be a true love of mine

Tell her to reap it in a sickle of leather, parsley, sage, rosemary and thymeAnd to gather it all in a bunch of heather, then she’ll be a true love of mine

Are you goin’ to scarborough fair? parsley, sage, rosemary and thymeRemember me to one who lives there, she once was a true love of mine

extract memories in exchange. My grandmother has allowed

me to practice Healing Touch on her in the small room that is

now her home. My mother, even though she doesn’t under-

stand Healing Touch, has been a willing recipient of the prac-

tice for the past three years. She herself will “hold the energy”

while my sisters and I “do” Healing Touch on our father or on

each other when in need. It takes courage to participate in Life

when one doesn’t understand. It takes courage to grow old and

to witness the process in ourselves and our loved ones.

Secondly, I have been asked to be a “doula” (a birthing coach)

by my daughter. My daughter has asked that I use Healing

Touch to assist her in birth of my first grandchild. I had the

pleasure of giving my daughter (and grand baby by virtue of

uterine residence) Healing Touch a couple of months ago when

she visited from California. Since I live in Louisiana, it will take

courage to be a grandmother from so far a distance. It will take

courage for her to raise a child without family living nearby and

especially in these challenging economic and social times.

Lastly, my friend Robin (mother to an 11 year old son), battled

breast cancer for nearly 8 years. I would visit Robin on days

when she had chemotherapy. Using the Magnetic Clearing

technique and others, Robin would fall peacefully asleep in her

bedroom and I would quietly leave her to rest. I was honored

when I was asked to stay with her in the hospital

following lung surgery. I remember standing next to

the hospital bed and holding my hands above her,

praying with healing intention, as she tried to rest

even though she struggled for each breath. I felt

the energy so strong and I remember her smile as

she looked over her shoulder and said “I feel you.”

She was a warrior, someone who energetically had

Thyme woven into her scarf. She allowed me to use

Healing Touch to comfort her, ease her symptoms

and revive her Spirit through the years. She moved to

the Great Garden on June 12, 2009.

Time is short, but we can weave sprigs of Thyme into

our scarves, cover our heads and throats (physically

and energetically) and proceed into our daily cru-

sade. I want to seize the opportunity to speak words

of encouragement to mothers and others. I want to

use Healing Touch and other wonderful discovered

modalities to bless the gardens in which I walk. My hope for

others is to feel and experience what I have since embarking on

this journey through the gardens entered via Healing Touch. I

have truly planted Thyme in my garden.

“Dorothea has put together the most comprehensive and authoritative book available to date about the first twenty years of Healing Touch (HT). It is a fascinating read for all interested in energy medicine as part of the study of spirituality and health. After a foreword by dis-tinguished professor Jean Watson, Dorothea presents an amazing portrait of HT, divided into four sections and fifteen chapters. All that is followed by an excellent bibli-ography and appendices and a useful index. “We would all be well-served if other complementary and alterna-tive modalities would provide equally well-developed coverage of their experiences during the beginnings of the twenty-first century.”

In every culture and in every medical tradition before ours, healing was accomplished by moving energy.

-Albert Szent-Gyorgyl

While sharing her personal profile notebook during Level 5, someone asked Linnie Thomas how many lives she’d lived in order to do all that she’s done, e.g., chemistry lab technician, race car driver, software technical writer and editor, bookkeeper, professional clown, quilter, and professional seamstress. Now, in addition to her certifications as a Healing Touch Practitioner (2000) and Healing Touch Instructor (2002), Linnie will add author to the list. Her book, An Encyclopedia of Energy Medi-cine, boasts a laudatory endorsement by James L. Oschman, PhD (author of Energy Medicine: The Scientific Basis), and has earned her an invitation to present at the 2010 International So-ciety Study of Subtle Energy and Energy Medicine (ISSSEEM) Conference. She will speak on Spirituality Woven Throughout the History of Energy Healing, drawing on the beliefs and practices of the world’s indigenous peoples. Her publisher, the prestigious Fairview Press, associated with the University of Minnesota, is already talking about a second edition.

The idea for the book came to her when she began teaching Healing Touch. “Many of my students wanted to know how to find information about other modalities in energy medicine. They did not know where to look. I had the same problem

when it was suggested I take a course in energy work. The Internet is no help. Just today, typing in ‘energy healing’ yielded 95,200,000 links, ‘energy medicine’ produced 575,000,000 links and ‘energy work’ brought up 106,000,000 links. Unless a prospective student or client is looking for a specific program he or she is not going to find very much that is useful. With my technical writing experience, I thought I could write a book about the most popular modalities available in energy medicine today. The result is an encyclopedia of 66 different modalities in energy medicine.

It was suggested that I pitch the idea at a writing conference. It was accepted by an agent who then suggested I pitch it to sev-eral publishing houses. I did so and three responded. I went for Fairview Press. It has taken four years to complete the work and I will have copies in hand March 15th. It will be available in book stores in April. One of the biggest thrills was Dr. James Oschman’s highly complementary foreword to the book.”

She looked for books on the same subject that had already been done and found none.

Featured Healing Touch Certified PractitionerWhat brought you to Healing Touch? We listen to the stories at every workshop and marvel at the variety of paths that have led us to “the work.” When the workshops come to an end with Level 5 we “lose touch” with many of our classmates and the rest of their stories – and especially lose touch with what follows after certi-fication. Certification, of course, is only the beginning. Healing Touch changes our lives and together we are changing the world. This column will present profiles of these agents of change.

She found that puzzling. “Energy healing is rarely mentioned in books on complementary medicine or alternative medi-cine. Some will mention acupuncture; a few magazine articles mentioned Reiki. It occurred to me that the various modalities are not working together to promote energy medicine as a vi-able form of medicine.” This led Linnie to form The International Association for Energy Healers (IAFEH), an organization that would work for all the various forms of energy medicine. “We are currently helping Florida practitioners change the massage laws to allow touch while doing energy work.” Linnie investigat-ed over 200 energy healing programs. “I have not found a mo-dality teaching energy work that is better than Healing Touch. In all ways Healing Touch comes out on top.”

Linnie belongs to the New Thought Center for Spiritual Living which is very supportive of her work. The church is planning a big book signing party complete with the choir, of which she is a member, providing some of the entertainment. One of the min-isters is helping her set up book talks and signings elsewhere in the country.

Linnie is happiest sitting in a recliner with a computer on one side of her lap and her dog, Duffer, a terrier mix, on the other. She writes Christmas stories for children as well as young adult fantasies. If she is not writing them, she is reading them. Quilting is also a passion for her. Currently she is making a quilt depicting Harry Potter’s Hogwarts for her daughter’s wedding present. She has three children and two grandchildren who help keep her young and active.

The Healing of Children— EverywhereI’ve chronicled the most painful and HARD time in my life as “The Chronic Illnesses of Gabe,” my youngest son. For over five years, I spent more time in medical offices than I did sleeping. Exhausted, I was an ad-vertisement reading “Pestilence Hospitality.” Not only did I graciously house every common disease, I also hosted a few unusual ones. I still remember diagnos-ing both Gabriel and myself with “atypical” chicken pox, only to have the pediatrician insist it was impos-sible to get any version of the pox twice.

Really?

Perhaps I should have entitled this article “The Petri Dish of Parenting”?

Those challenging years ended with a grand finale, surgery to remove four golf ball size polyps from Gabriel’s nasal passage. Gabe is well, but those years left me with scars, as well as a heart-full of compassion for the caregivers, parents, and people searching to provide healing for children. Point blank, there’s no easy formula, no “one size fits all.” I think that Healing Touch embodies the key, however, within its name: “healing” or “whole” and “touch,” the sweetness delivering healing.

Healing depends on acknowledging an innate wholeness, no matter the presenting problems. Society asserts that we’re only whole as adults, but a child’s simplicity is misleading. Research reveals that an infant philosophizes in the womb, understands love, and makes decisions impacting the remainder of life. Many spiritualists believe that the younger the child, the more “whole-some” he or she is, still able to scan the sacred scrolls of understanding. As well, a child’s physical and energetic sys-tems are as complex as an adult’s.

The conditions that challenge children are consequently as chal-lenging as those we face as adults. While Gabe’s “cure” was ulti-mately physical, the healing process was much richer than that, as revealed in a comment he made upon waking one morning.

“Do I have to go to school today, Mom?” Yes, I said.

“Now I have tears in my eyes and my stomach is going to throw up.”

There are many medicines for a single problem, but all salves involve touch, in the narrowest and broadest sense of the word.

Physical touch is the difference between life and death. Accord-ing to research, lack of touch was a predominant factor in 50 to 100 percent of the deaths of children raised in orphanages during the 19th and early 20th century. Touch isn’t only physi-cal, however. Energy is also conveyed emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. We can touch with our feelings, mind, and soul. In fact, a recent study in Britain suggests that a major reason for stress, disease, and problems amongst youngsters is lack of emotional support at home. Mental stimulation improves IQ and spiritual inspiration provides everything from a healthy value system to self-esteem.

As an integrative practitioner, I try to remember that every personal contact, word, tone, or posture presents a message to a child. We are radios. Psychic and sensory information beams out, but also comes in. Children are even more sensitive to invisible touch than are adults, as they haven’t developed the boundaries necessary to filter the frequencies. They haven’t learned they aren’t supposed to sense, feel, understand, and absorb others’ emotions and impressions.

Healing Touch professionals aren’t always positioned to share physical healing—but it’s not necessary. A thought, a kind word, a prayer, can make all the difference. This is good news, for there are children everywhere who will never be exposed to Healing Touch, much less any medical attention or affection. These are the children that die from largely preventable causes,

about half from hunger, still others from poverty, abuse, neglect, enviro-hazards, and the 20,000 known diseases. They are the meek, the invisible, the children of the Divine who don’t make the headlines.

In my practice, I’ve found that working with color is an easy way to aid children. Color can be transferred energetically via intention, prayer, meditation, gemstones, or hands-on healing. Color can be prescribed via clothing or accessories.

When working with children directly, I’ll often ask what color is “off” and what color they need. I either have them draw a picture of themselves with the “right coloration” or imagine themselves in an invisible magic coat.

When working with color, it’s important to first heal or boost the problem area and then activate a child’s gift as per the following descriptions. Also listed is the endocrine organ associated with each color.

Red: Adrenals. Empowers, renews, protects. Exhaustion, ADD, ADHD, excretory system, major addictions, critical illnesses, and life limitations. Ask Spirit to remove “codepen-dent bargains” or agreements zapping vital energy. Opens manifesting gifts and physical health.

Orange: Ovaries/testes. Emotionalism, intestines, repro-ductive area. Flushes aura to remove others’ feelings. Activates creativity and feeling empathy.

Yellow: Pancreas. Fears, worries, self-esteem, boundaries, digestive conditions. Generates administrative and learning abilities; also mental empathy.

Green: Heart. Heals relationships. Heart, lung, and breast problems. Opens healing gifts.

Blue: Thyroid. Communication (psychic and sensory), also throat, neck, jaw, and teeth. Accesses spiritual guidance, oratory, and musical attributes.

Purple: Pituitary. Strategy, sight, self-image. Hormone functions. Gift of vision.

White: Pineal. Spirituality, higher learning, sleep, mood. Mobilizes spiritual purpose.

Black: Thymus. Mysticism, issues related to time, past, autoimmune system. Source of shamanic gifts.

Gold: Diaphragm. Harmony, breathing. Attunement to world.

Brown: Bones. Connection to Nature, ancestors. Genes, bones, congenital challenges. Sensitivity to natural world.

Rose: Connective tissue. Connection issues, hands, feet, faschia. Commanding of natural and supernatural forces.

Clear: 32 points. Issues of personal mastery. Individual gifts.

In April of ’06, during a self-exam, I felt a huge lump that seemed to encompass the entire side of my right breast. I scheduled a mammogram immediately, followed by two biopsies - which came back positive.

I was referred to a female surgeon who explained that this Ductal Carcinoma in Situ, while slow growing, had now reached a critical stage, covering an area 6x4x2cm. She advised, in the strongest possible way, that I have a mastectomy immediately, check surrounding lymph nodes and follow up with radiation. I told her that I preferred to heal myself energetically. I had already altered my diet and raised my pH level, so I asked for three months to see if I could reverse the situation. She was most uncomfortable at this prospect. However, after I signed a waiver and promised to return for a check-up, she agreed to see me in six weeks. I had much to learn in a very short time.

I began by making lists of dietary changes, products, books and energy workers and used my pendulum to help me plot a course of action. Thus began the most remarkable six weeks of my life.

God protected me from all fear and sent angels to guide me every step of the way. Friends from church and my book clubs joined neighbors and relatives in offering love, support and countless prayer chains. I joined with contemplative prayer bud-dies in meditating twice daily and followed guidance to decide which essential oils and crystals to use to increase healing vibrations and release negative energy.

When three different friends in one day mentioned the power of Pele, the Hawaiian goddess of volcanoes, I sought out two vol-canic remedies for boosting the immune system, began working with red and orange energies, and visited a Hawaiian healer who introduced my to shamanic journeying and sound healing. Both proved helpful and sound healing has been especially rejuvenating for me.

My primary care physician, a natural hormone specialist, recommended some excellent books on alternative methods of healing from breast cancer. I discovered that this is a disease of emotions, so I began to explore any stuck negative emo-tions and corresponding beliefs. Since I am a practicing psy-chotherapist, I had a solid foundation from which to work, but I still needed help. I reviewed my dream journals and notes from my own therapy. Several gifted energy workers were able to help me identify stuck energies and tell me which levels of my Chakras were compromised. Since breast cancer is primarily a 4th Chakra disease, I worked hard to bring love, forgiveness and compassion into all levels of my field - and my life.

I kept a daily log noting the wondrous, synchronistic events of those first six weeks during which neighbors I hardly knew or people I met for the first time shared a book, a product or a piece of information - uniting a random array of puzzle pieces into a coherent picture which made sense to me. All along, I drew angel cards, saw rainbows and heard words of hope that let me know God was with me every step of the way. A follow-up MRI indicated the cancer had decreased. Slightly encouraged, but still doubtful, my surgeon agreed to continue tracking my progress and authorizing mammograms.

During the following year I took very good care of myself. I ate well, exercised regularly and slept eight hours per night. I also drank Chinese herbs, took pancreatic enzymes, detoxed often and kept my lymph system clear. It took 13 months of discipline and hard work to seek and follow guidance, but I am happy to say that the cancer is gone and both breasts are a picture of health.

There are no words grand enough to express my gratitude to Healing Touch which taught me about the power of the body to heal itself energetically. Cyndi Dale’s book, Advanced Chakra Healing, describes in detail the Divine Pathway which I followed to heal from breast cancer. This certainly is not the best choice

How Healing Touch Influenced My Decision Regarding Breast Cancer



How HT Influenced My Decision...

for everyone, but it was right for me, and it was made possible because of the knowledge, love and support of my Healing Touch community.

This was such a wonder-filled year for me that I have written a book about my healing journey with the hope of encouraging other women who share this diagnosis to remain free from fear and take the time to discover what their bodies need to heal. The book is entitled A Story of Grace: Holistic Healing After a Diagnosis of Breast Cancer and is available on Amazon.com.

What follows is a review of “A Story of Grace” written by Barbara Dahl, BSN, RN, HTCP/I

I can be changed by what happens to me.I refuse to be reduced by it.

-Maya Angelou

Most of us know women who have been treated for breast cancer. Suppose your mother, sister, daughter, or close friend was diagnosed with breast cancer and decided not to follow the conventional allopathic course of treatment. Could you support that choice? That’s the choice Nancy Battilega made in 2006 after receiving a diagnosis of breast cancer -- choos-ing to take the road less traveled. For the next sixteen months she followed an ever-evolving complementary course of heal-ing before being told she was cancer free. She has written about her journey in A Story of Grace: Holistic Healing After a Diagnosis of Breast Cancer.

“Many stories of alternative healing tend to focus on one ele-ment such as diet or prayer. I believe that I was successful because I integrated healing on all levels into a well-rounded life. . .I know that each individual is unique and each illness is unique to the individual. There is no ‘one size fits all’ when it comes to cancer or any other illness. Nevertheless, I write in the hope that others, who find themselves in circumstances similar to mine, will be inspired to move through their journeys free from fear, taking all the time necessary to discover what their bodies need in order to heal.”

Nancy’s surgeon had recommended a mastectomy, radiation, and tomoxifin and only agreed - reluctantly - to follow her with diagnostic tests after she signed a release. “I often related to the character of Harry Potter as I confronted the ‘Muggle world’ of traditional western medicine with the ‘magic’ of Heal-ing Touch.”

Perhaps Nancy’s healing journey actually began prior to her diagnosis during a trip to Peru when she became ill with a high fever and was treated by a native shaman. Her fever van-ished when he placed his hands on her. Her healing journey, an illustration of the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual continuum, consisted of healing old wounds and exploring the hidden world of dreams in psychotherapy, lessons learned from a dying pet, contemplative prayer and spiritual retreats, allowing other to care for her, and balancing it all with fun, e.g., movies, dancing, and trips. “My lust for power and control has morphed into a joyous lust for life.”

Nancy, a licensed professional counselor and certified Healing Touch Practitioner, was profiled in the August 2008 issue of Energy Magazine. Her hero’s journey serves as a primer for the healing process and belongs on the must read list for both holistic practitioners and Muggles. It is available through Ama-zon and the Healing Touch Bookstore for $15.95 or contact Nancy at [email protected].
