Holistic and Reiki healing with modern medicine

Yes jbagley. I have used and use crystals .. I give crystals to my kids and family to wear or hold for the day depending on the occasion ... I like clear quartz with point.

Has anyone read "The Healing Codes" by Dr. Alex Lloyd.    It describes 4 energy healing points with truth statements.   I am reading it now.   Amazon.com has the book and you can read the reviews and some testimonials from the authors.

Hi Jennifer,  I've never had Reikki done on me but love the whole concept of it and music.   I find it very soothing to listen to.  I had been planning on going for my training as a Reikki practitioner and had hoped to go on to the 3rd level of training and combine it with my esthtetics practice. Then came BC. So looking to ways of healing the new me.

Reiki has been very helpful for me. During a Reiki session, I can stay fully in the moment and just "be". It is the best way to get relief from the stress and constant awareness of cancer that hangs in the back of my mind. It is when my body feels most competent and when I feel most normal. Though I was a bit skeptical of Reiki, I received a clear message from my dad -I was his primary caretaker during his illness and death from cancer - during my 1st session. It was a great gift.

I had reiki all the way through radiation. The oncologist was shocked that I had no skin effects at all. I think there is great healing available if you combine both physical and emotional healthing.

Mallory- Reiki is sort of like acupuncture but without the needles.  It clears energy blockages in the body, allowing it to heal and function better.  My mom's a Reiki master (we always tease her that it sounds like she's a samurai or something... heehee!) and an RN... it's wonderful- give it a go!  If nothing else, it gives you a chance to relax and clear your mind a bit, which I personally find to be priceless!  ;D

I always wear a clear quartz pendant and I wear a ring with all the chakra stones. I haven't received my dx yet, but I do believe in holistic and modern methods. Please share anything you think might help if I have the C word....thank you and sending miles of smiles.

Crystals are wonderful!  I didn't benefit from the Reiki but QiGong is GREAT!  EFT and Keniology along with accupuncture and accupressue are a part of my alternatives to compliment my traditional treatment plan.  I give everything a look see and a try and this seems to be the best things for me. 

I was diagnosed in January and am scheduled to undergo a mastectomy on the 25th with TE. So what have I been doing all these months (besides switching doctors and some occasinal testing)? I've been practicing Reiki every night (I did level I training through a wonderful organization in NYC that also provides reflexology, acupuncture, massage, aromatherapy and nutritional counseling), medical qi gong (specifically for people with cancer and other illnesses) and consulted with a naturopath who not only gave an herbal script to bolster my lymphatics (I had a biopsy on a node that was clear and I wanted to keep them all that way) but also two stones that she instructs me to place directly on the tumor - phrenite and chrysocolla.

 I feel that all these modalities are helping me emotionally and physically as well as spiritually. When I go to the doctor, everyone is astounded at my perfect blood pressure. Now I'm sure that they are used to seeing folks who are not only ill but stressed over their illnesses, but I also think that this consistent self-care regimen is healing me at all levels, strengthening my immune system and otherwise using my mind and spirit to make my body an environment unhospitable to rogue cancer cells.

 With my mastecomy coming up in a little over a week and chemo to follow, I've stocked up on cancer-specific meditations, too.  I truly do believe that a big part of how effective and traumatic conventional medicine is depends on your attitude toward it so I'm in serious spiritual and emotional training with all these approaches.  Why not use everything at your disposal especially when so much of the Western approach to cancer is so counterintuitive and leaves a lot to be desired? 

jbagley congratulations on becoming a Reiki Master and on being cancer-free. I just love saying that!
