Good morning Tongrenhealer and thank you for your post. I surely will be be doing a google search. One of the positives about my having had this disease is that it has opened my mind to many alternatives, and energy healing in many forms is just one of them. You mention the collective "unconcious" while one of the healing modalities I have been taught by a young Canadian energy healer called Adam, is using the collective "conciousness" as a powerful healing tool. Some may call it prayer. It is an energy which can be tangibly felt when done in group even at a distance. Another tool for self healing which I have explored is EFT which involves tapping as well and is very effective as is meditation and visualization. Becoming aware of the mind/body connection with regard to healing and other important aspects of life is a gift available to everyone. It may be necessary for some to take a chance by "thinking outside the box" which of course is very very difficult to do when life and death decisions are having to be made and the "known" gives us much more comfort and confidence than the "unknown."
