Greetings!
Welcome to
a place:
- to take care of you
- with
an subtle energy view
- that
supports you in self-nurturing, self-healing health using your energy field and your
life energy
It's about the practical application of energy medicine to daily living. Enhancing health, cultivating life
energy.
This issue's focus is on remedies to fatigue: compassion fatigue and physical fatigue through energy field work and subtle energy therapy.
A Good Vibe Ezine is now seasonal. 4-5 times yearly allows time for me to provide relevant info. Ironically, the ezine grows in length because of this info. I'm curious about your thoughts. Drop me a line and with your feedback on the new format and segments. I welcome it.
In fact, I invite you to participate in co-creation. Read on for more details.
My hope is this: May this seasonal ezine help you become more conscious of your human energy
system: utilizing and managing it
to increase health. Because your human subtle energy system holds the
blueprint for your physical and holistic health. And your well-being.
It also
impacts your connection to the interconnected world we live in. The
planet we live on.
Because all of Life pulses energy. Life's pulses influence you and me and us. We affect each other. Life's pulses either enhance health or create disturbance. We enhance or
disturb.
In this new decade, how will you consciously participate?
The goal is:
- Harmonizing with the natural
cycle of life
- Reducing pain in your body,
mind, heart and spirit
- Returning to balance
Self-nurture,
self heal, manage your subtle energy system to :
- Enhance your health
- Neutralize disturbances
- Cultivate life energy
I'm glad
you are here. Thank you for your past input and helping this ezine grow.
This ezine
is for you. I invite
you to continue to participate in co-creation. Share your experiences of being aware of your human energy. Email your story. Is there something else you'd like to see? I welcome your comments, questions and
suggestions, too. Do drop me a line. I enjoy hearing from you. Thank you.
In
Wellness,
Lucrezia Mangione

Seasonal Energy
|
Winter cycles into Spring
Flow and grow with the seasons to enhance your energy.
Winter is the time we turn inward, moving into the space of rest, conservation
of energy and dreaming what will come to be. Becoming still, quiet
and resting, dreaming deep within.
It is a time of gestating possibilities and conserving that which we harvested
in the fall.
All of nature displays this. This includes you. You are a part of
nature.
For health, preserving your resources helps you be aligned with the organic
process of winter. At this time, life's energy is much slower and denser
moving. Life chills out. The molecules slow way down, become dense, conserving strength.
Allow yourself to be with this. And in being, you flow with
it. Be. Naturally.
Because the flow is always there. Energy starts quickening, moving
again like the waters under the frozen stillness.
The seasonal wheel turns. Activity starts percolating. The sun moves
closer. Nature starts warming up again. Life becomes more
activated. The slowness speeds up. The density clarifies.
What was frozen begins melting.
The thaw is beginning. Even now.
Even while it may still look like winter. Can you feel
it? Sense the slight quickening of flow within you. Sense the
spring energy beginning to arise.
Life is warming a bit.
And
beginning to flutter flow.
Follow this flutter. This flow and flourish into spring.
Spring is the time unfurl, uncurl and grow anew. It not
only rises up and outward, this bubbly enlivened energy percolating through
you. It's also deepens within moving into your roots and extending your depth inward.
Be like a tree. Pick your favorite one. Growing into your next
cycle of up and out and down and in, rooted here and now in another soon-to-be
blossoming spring.
Flow and grow.

Healing Touch
reduces fatigue from radiation treatments 
In
an study conducted in 2001, HT reduced
fatigue, improved levels of depression, anxiety and anger and demonstrated a
better quality of life for participants.
62
women participated in this randomized clinical trial. They had been receiving radiation treatment for gynecological
and breast cancer at Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St. Louis, Missouri.
After
six HT treatments the women:
- "showed proportionately larger reductions in fatigue in the HT group than the control group."
- "demonstrated
more pronounced improvements in their levels of depression, anxiety, and anger
compared to the control group."
- "demonstrated
a better quality of life . . . with significant differences in vitality, pain,
and physical functioning."
