Autumns of our lives

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.


Wholistic Approaches


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.
