Good morning.
Well this Sunday, Nov.1st, I will be presenting my first national Reiki "lecture" at the ASTRO convention in Chicago. This is the largest conference of Radiation Oncology professionals so it should be interesting on how receptive the audience is. I have a feeling it will be a good turnout as Reiki has gotten some very favorable press lately for its use in reducing some of the negative side effects commonly assciated with cancer treatments. My aim for this lecture is to educate the medical community of the benefits of Reiki and how it can be incorporated into not only a Radiation Oncology dept. but hospital wide.
Several months ago I, along with the hospital's Complementary Medicine Dept, began a program for the Cancer Center. This program allows any patient who is currently undergoing or has been previously treated with radiation and or chemotherapy to receive massage, Reiki, reflexology, and aromatherapy sessions FREE of charge twice weekly. As you may have guessed, the program has been a HUGE success and I hope to expand it to other depts. in the hospital.
Ok, I will let you know how things go at the convention. Nothing like speaking in front of a couple hundred people--lol
