According to the National Cancer Institute (2001), 72 to 95 percent of cancer patients receiving cancer treatments experience debilitating side effects such as depression and diminished functional capacity leading to reduced quality of life.
Ongoing medical research suggests that Healing Touch and Reiki can minimize side effects of cancer treatment. Benefits may include:
* Positive improvement in energy, and well-being
* Decreased pain, anxiety, and depression
* Support for healing after surgery and medical procedures
* A feeling of being nurtured and cared for.
LifeSpark?s Energy Partners Program facilitates positive change in health, emotions, and spirit, and supports both the patient and the health care system.
Mission: LifeSpark promotes and provides the integration of energy therapies within medical and community-based service programs for individuals with cancer through education, training, advocacy, and delivery of hands-on energy sessions.
