Your past posts have helped me find the positive in all of this. We have a long journey ahead of us an need to channel all the positive energy we can into our lives. I hope you find that positive energy and destroy all that anger. Thinking of you!CFstephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12808675789017622773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924439865196022375.post-8554136159935829952009-10-11T23:04:16.376-04:002009-10-11T23:04:16.376-04:00piper i totally need to dive in with.positive mind...piper i totally need to dive in with.positive mind to heal. i guess for me transplant happened so fast but recovery so slow it has me thinking negaative. glad your preparing now with such a positive and open.mind<br /><br />courtCourtneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11207160222825341511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924439865196022375.post-56669285881159115792009-10-11T12:39:24.860-04:002009-10-11T12:39:24.860-04:00I'm glad that you recognize a nurse practition...I'm glad that you recognize a nurse practitioner's view on holistic approaches as well as medical ones. That's the prime difference between NPs and Docs for the most part.

I applaud you for pointing out that all these things are choices that we make, even if we don't realize it! And I really have to try to get myself to that kind of position where I'm not feeling guilty and torn (I'm not even close to the anger stage) between the profession, the family obligations and my own health. All three of which place demands on our time. Yeah, you're right. It's all about choices, and then following through with those decisions (which is a whole 'nother issue!)<br /><br />How does one go about finding someone to help guide through all this? I think that a sense of balance or stability in all parts of life is essential, but how does one go about finding that balance and keeping it that way? That's the part that I'm struggling with.<br /><br />Ack. Sorry to ramble on. I had no idea there was even a term for such a concept or process much less "energy work". Please keep posting about it. I really feel like I've got so much to learn.

I wanted to comment, so others who might share the same interests could read my response.

I'm a big fan of modern medicine and healing-by-chemistry, haha, but I also grow more and more convinced of its limits and risks, and I beleive strongly in the power of the mind...although I don't always act as strongly on said belief. I'm particularly fascinated by Reiki...<br /><br />So yeah, more info please! From both of you (and anyone else with experience with this!)<br /><br />JessJessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13257021143930525182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924439865196022375.post-68368360834587770952009-10-10T14:24:32.470-04:002009-10-10T14:24:32.470-04:00I have worn crystals and done guided meditation si...I have worn crystals and done guided meditation since I was a young teen, and I get Reiki treatments now. I absolutely believe in all of it, and think that's good enough for me.
