DEATH AS A
MENTOR FOR LIFE:
A personal account of a journey to widowhood
Rondi Lightmark
Healing in many forms can ease end of life transition
The author
describes changing attitudes toward dying in America and her personal experience
with the loss of her husband from cancer in 1993. She nursed her husband at home
until he died, with the guidance of Dr. Anna Lups, a physician trained in therapeutic
care for the dying which is based on the philosophy of the Austrian mystic and
scientist Rudolf Steiner (1861- 1925). Elements included in this particular protocol
include use of homeopathy, massage, creating an atmosphere of peace and beauty,
detoxifying the body with enemas, and minimizing the use of drugs in order to
allow the people who are dying to be as conscious as possible in order to meet
their death.
The author also describes the support of the community after the death and the
involvement of children in the event.

WHY DO THE
WORK OF THE BODY?
A perspective on healing from a body-centered approach in psychotherapy
Sherry L. Osadchey, MA, LMFT
The body offers access to the emotions, mind and spirit
This article provides a framework for understanding how traumatic experience
impacts the whole organism. Distorted thought process and projection, defensive
verbal expression, tension pattern, disturbed subtle energy field, inhibited
breathing, and characteristically-held body posture all exhibit the nature of
the specific physical and emotional traumatic experiences of the individual.
Accessing the information available within the clusters of symptoms and understanding
how to facilitate the opening and release of the held memory enables a more effective
modality for change in psychotherapy. This author also uses her personal experience
in this therapeutic framework to speak to the spiritual transformations that
naturally evolve when healing of trauma occurs.

PLEASE SUPPORT THE WHR AND IJHC NEWSLETTERS
AND THIS SITE!
WholisticHealingResearch.com and the Newsletters were
created and are maintained and expanded as a labor of love and dedication
to healing - without outside support.
Many have suggested charging for access to WHR and our Newsletters, but I don’t
want to exclude those without means to pay. There are many visitors to WHR
from parts of the world where credit cards and funds are not as readily available
as they may be to you, and people urgently seeking information about healing
who may not be in a space to pay for access to WHR.
Your donation of $5 (more will be gratefully accepted!) will go towards expanding
the resources available on the site, to update sections of the site as new
studies and progress in healing are published, and towards secretarial support
so that Dr. Benor can devote more time to developing and expanding the content
of the site.
