Integrative Oncology – How Medicine and Healing Can Work Together for YOU

with Martin Rossman, MD

Martin Rossman, MD is the author of “Fighting Cancer From Within”, and has produced a whole series of CD’s for those who are going through treatment for Cancer.  He’ll be speaking on how medicine and the Integrative Healing modalities can work together for you.  He will address how evidence of effectiveness and safety is evaluated, how you can best make decisions about what to incorporate in your personal plan, and how these modalities might fit into different stages of your journey through cancer treatment. While Imagery and Acupuncture will be stand-alone topics later in this series, he will certainly speak about them, as well as the area of Mind-Body medicine as it relates to Integrative Oncology.  Dr. Rossman has been a featured speaker all over the world, and we think you will find his talk a wonderful beginning for this exploration of Integrative Oncology.

How Do I Disconnect from Mind Chatter?

Tuesday, December 15th, 2009

Opening_To_Creativity

As I listen to my clients and the women who attended the retreat…the theme of– “How do I disconnect from the mind chatter? was a big one…

How do we deal with the challenges in our lives without obsessive worry?

In the retreat we talked alot about breathing, about stopping and noticing the sensations in our body…

We also talked about the importance of creating enough space in our lives to be present with the awe and wonder of the present moment and about ways to create a daily healing practice.

We explored our “circle of support” we imagined them in the guided imagery and we created collages that offered us a beautiful visual reminder.

(By the way, I was so excited to videotape all of those beautful collages encircling our alter.I had wanted to put the video on the website–and guess what..the lens cap was on…so–they are now only a memory in my imagination. -oh well..next time!)
