Hypnosis in lieu of Surgical Anesthesia
Hypnosis to Replace Anesthesia During Surgery?
Jupiterimages/Thinkstock(BRUSSELS, Belgium) -- Partial mastectomy, biopsy and removal of lymph nodes, removal of the thyroid -- would you be willing to undergo these surgical procedures without general anesthesia? One Belgium hospital reportedly performs a third of their thyroid surgeries and a quarter of all breast cancer surgeries with only local anesthetic and hypnosis.
A study conducted by the Saint-Luc University Hospital has found that women who underwent the removal of their thyroids using only local anesthesia and hypnosis had lower use of opioids pain killers, shorter hospital stay, and greater satisfaction compared to women who opted for general anesthesia.
The findings were presented at a European Anaesthesiology Congress meeting, and researchers say the approach may be broadened to other surgeries including hernias, gynecological surgeries, plastic surgery procedures, and even some heart surgeries, thereby also providing benefits for healthcare systems by reducing costs involved in longer hospital stays.

Help for Fibromyalgia
Today is Fibromyalgia Awareness Day and in deference to the more than 5 million people diagnosed with this condition I would like to extend my congratulations on their efforts to get the word out. Twenty years ago--Fibromyalgia was seen as a non-existent "pain syndrome" which was largely believed to be psychological in origin. Today doctors and researchers concede that the pain is real. For most in the throes of a flare up it can be quite debilitating. Where medication and therapy fall short, there are other therapies which help to mitigate the pain and to enable the affected person to have a modicum of control over their disease.
There is no doubt that Fibromyalgia is exacerbated by stress. Both Hypnosis and Reiki can help to reduce stress and to help in the management of the pain. Pain can be intense and can reduce the quality of life of not only those affected, but that of their families and supporters. Hypnosis works via the Mind Body pathway and helps the client to learn to relax and create the internal environment conducive to healing. By learning and practicing Hypnosis, participants are given control over their emotions and learn to manage their environments in a much healthier way.
Reiki promotes a sense of well being and balance in the participant. It helps to remove blockages of energy and to restore proper function where there is imbalance. A belief in Reiki is not necessary for the treatment to have an effect. In a study reviewing blood samples taken before and after Reiki treatment, those given Reiki showed significant differences in their blood chemistry showing an increase in Hemoglobin and blood cell components, whereas those given no Reiki showed no changes. (J Holist Nurs March 1989 vol. 7 no. 1 47-54 ) Reiki has been shown to reduce pain, inflammation, irritation, and swelling in a variety of illnesses. For those affected by Fibromyalgia, adding Reiki to their treatment plan could help them in their quest for quality of life. I encourage you to seek out traditional and nontraditional modalities as the path to healing may not be direct. Don't let naysayers or skeptics deter your investigation of options, afterall, just a few short years ago--the traditional medical establishment said your illness Fibromyalgia did not exist.
If you or a loved one would like to learn more about Hypnosis or Reiki, please feel free to email me for a free consultation. I have a private practice, Soul Centered Health, outside of Philadelphia where I specialize in Holistic Stress Management and the Management of Chronic Conditions.

Reiki and Autism
April is Autism Awareness Month and I wanted to take this opportunity to spotlight ways in which Reiki can offer comfort and support to those affected by Autism and Aspergers. One of the most profound effects of Reiki is that it produces an almost immediate sense of well being and peace. Anxiety and social phobias are some of the most common symptoms displayed in those with Autism. By utilizing Reiki in children and adults, the intense emotion and fear of their anxiety attacks can be lessened. Another attribute of Reiki treatments is that Reiki can help recipients sleep better and work to sleep more soundly. Reiki can relieve muscle tension and pain, as well as help to enable the recipient to become more in tune with their bodies and not see them as a source of stress or discomfort. Reiki is performed fully clothed and can be performed with light or no touch for those with issues being touched or who have stranger phobias. Reiki has been studied by researchers at the National Institutes of Health and has been shown to reduce pain, anxiety, and to promote healing in a variety of conditions and individuals. While not a cure per se, Reiki is currently being used in some of the top Hospitals and Treatment Centers in the United States for such conditions as Cancer, PTSD, and Autism. Reiki helps promote balance in the body in the physical, emotional and metaphysical realms. The "Ki" or Life Force energy is the target of the Reiki Practitioner. He or she works to enable a positive flow of this energy and seeks to correct imbalances and faulty wiring.
Reiki is also an excellent treatment for the caregivers and support staff who work with those affected by autism. Caregivers burn out and become frustrated, depressed and often overwhelmed with the daily grind of providing round the clock, tireless care. Caregivers should prioritize their own health and well being, as they are sometimes the only support for those in their care and if they lose energy or perspective the task at hand becomes that much harder.
If you or a loved one are affected by Autism or one of the Spectrum disorders, consider adding Reiki to your wellness portfolio. Reiki works on a whole other level and can bring unanticipated help and guidance to a confusing and senseless condition. Help is available and I encourage you to experience the healing potential of Reiki for yourself.
