When the seasons shift,

even the subtle beginning,  
the scent of a promised change, 
I feel something stir inside me.     
Hopefulness? Gratitude? Openness?

Whatever it is, it's welcome.

Inviting all Nurses who's story needs to be told to the world.



Stories that reveal what it feels like to be working in a field that takes all of our Heart and Soul, takes us to our knees, sends us home crying, exhausted, spent of all energy. Or stories that reveal that deep compassion and trust, tapping into our inner resilience, the lives we have made such an enormous difference in, the lives we have affected and changed.



Nurses who have a story that forever changed the way they practice nursing, spoke to patients or co-workers, changed their direction in life. Stories that contain a profound realization or insight.



If you are one of these nurses, then we need to talk about an opportunity for you to raise the consciousness of this world by telling your story in "NURSE SPARKS"....A book dedicated to nurses.



We are in the process of attracting 22 authors from around the globe. Click on this link to see how easy our program is to get your story edited and published and marketed to the world: https://authenticmessengers.com/nurse-sparks/

CALLS & WEBINARS





Wednesday, November 9, 2016  
6pm Pacific, 7pm Mountain, 8pm Central, 9pm Eastern


Dr. Joan Borysenko, Ph.D.

Sculpting a Heart-centered Practice: Exploring the Connection between the Brain, the Heart, and Spirituality

Interviewed by Dr. Ramona Rolle-Berg, HTCP & Dr. Renee Rolle-Whatley, HTCP  


This distinguished pioneer in integrative medicine is a world-renowned expert in the mind/body connection. Her work has been foundational in an international health-care revolution that recognizes the role of meaning, and the spiritual dimensions of life, as an integral part of health and healing. Eloquent and inspiring in settings that range from hospitals to hospices, from theaters to conference venues, and from boardrooms to houses of worship, she is a credible bridge between faith and reason. Her brilliance, humor, and authenticity-in combination with the latest research-make her a compelling and inspiring speaker and writer.



After graduating magna cum laude from Bryn Mawr College in 1967, Dr. Borysenko earned her doctorate in Medical Sciences from the Harvard Medical School, where she completed post-doctoral training in cancer cell biology. Her first faculty position was at the Tufts University College of Medicine in Boston. But after the death of her father from cancer, she became more interested in the person with the illness than in the disease itself, and returned to Harvard Medical School to complete a second postdoctoral fellowship, this time in the new field of behavioral medicine. Under the tutelage of Herbert Benson, M.D., who first identified the relaxation response and brought meditation into medicine, she was awarded a Medical Foundation Fellowship and completed her third post-doctoral fellowship in psychoneuroimmunology.



In the early 1980's Dr. Borysenko co-founded a Mind/Body clinic with Dr. Benson and Dr. Ilan Kutz, became licensed as a psychologist, and was appointed instructor in medicine at the Harvard Medical School. Her years of clinical experience and research culminated in the 1987 publication of the New York Times best seller, Minding the Body, Mending the Mind, which sold over 400,000 copies. The 20th anniversary edition, newly revised, was published in 2007. Author or co-author of 13 other books and numerous audio and video programs, including the Public Television special Inner Peace for Busy People, she is the Founding Partner of Mind/Body Health Sciences, LLC located in Boulder, Colorado and the Director of The Claritas Institute Interspiritual Mentor Training Program. As one of the most popular and sought after speakers in the field of health, healing, and spirituality, Dr. Borysenko's comes to the Energy Medicine in the Spotlight microphone on November 9th. Join us as together we explore the connections between brain, heart, and spirit.



We will discuss:
  • How do caring relationships improve healing
  • What are "mind molecules" and how can we use them to improve healing
  • How can strengthening resilience improve our connection to spirit

Healing Touch News From Australia

By Monica Nebauer, RN, PhD, HTCP/I



Healing Touch Program in Australia has formed an Association which, as a membership organization, will come under the banner of Healing Touch Professional Association. On the 5th October 2016, the new Association received notice that it has been approved for incorporation in the State of Queensland and is now known as the Australian Healing Touch Program Association Inc. 



The objectives of the Association are as follows:
  • to promote the provision of Healing Touch (HT) as an energy therapy under the Healing Touch Program (HTP) Scope of Practice and Code of Ethics for the benefit, health and well-being of the Australian community;
  • to establish and expand the HTP in Australia under the auspices of HTP in the United States of America (USA);
  • to support and encourage the preparation and ongoing education and training of all HTP students, apprentices, practitioners, certified practitioners and instructors, and qualified mentors using the approved HTP curriculum and educational opportunities;
  • to promote and publicize HTP by organizing and coordinating relevant events such as classes, workshops, meetings, events and seminars;
  • to liaise and communicate with the HTP CEO and Education Program Director in the USA in relation to the development and expansion of HTP in Australia;
  • to provide a vehicle for linking Chapters of Healing Touch Professional Association (HTPA) together as one organization linked to HTPA in the USA.
The next step will be to have the Association registered with the Australian Securities and Investments Corporation so it can operate nationally throughout Australia. This step will be followed by the development of a website linked to the HTP website in the USA. Dr. Monica Nebauer, HTCP/I, is the inaugural interim President of the Association.



Online Article in Army News Features Kimberly Kuppenheimer, HTCP/I



Kimberly Kupppenheimer, MA, PA-C, HTCP/I, began operating a Healing Touch clinic at Fort Carson Army Community Hospital in 2016. She provides Healing Touch to servicemen and women. Her work was recognized in an article on the Army News website.



Congratulations to Kimberly for her persistent effort to get Healing Touch approved at the hospital! Kimberly is excited to share this news and says, "If we simply ask the question of institutions, 'Would you like to start offering Healing Touch to your patients?', miracles can happen!"

Introducing the "Dear Clara" Column from Healing Touch Certification



Healing Touch Certification (HTC) is beginning a monthly question and answer article in the newsletter to share answers to questions regarding Certification and Certification Renewal. This will be in each newsletter to better connect our Practitioners with the Certification process. We are calling this the "Dear Clara Column". All questions regarding Certification and Renewal of Certification are welcome!





Dear Clara,

 

Q. Do I have to retake the certification exam as an HTCP?

A. No, only one time is required.

 

Q. Are the Energetic Transformations Class and Back Chakra Activation Workshop considered Healing Touch related education? (20 hours HTP related education)

A. Yes, workshops offered at conferences will count toward that as would any HTP classes (repeated or helper), conference, conference workshops, advanced courses, HTPA business calls, Energy Medicine in the Spotlight and any course that has attached with it a Certificate of Attendance from HTP.



Q. I had heard that a certain percentage of my courses need to have a certificate. Is this true?

A. Yes, at least 37.5 of the 75 must come from an official Provider of CE programs, such as ANCC, AHNA, ACEP, HTP, etc. (Yes, the above mentioned 20 hours of HT credentialed courses DO apply towards the 37.5 Total)



Q. Will any classes I've taken in dementia, back care, fall prevention, anxiety disorders, and pain management count toward professional development?

A. Yes, they all should count if they are part of your professional development. If the class or course upgrades your skills or expands your knowledge base, we're quite flexible in "counting" submitted credits.

 

I hope answering these questions has been helpful. The Certification Review Board looks forward to hearing from you. Please submit your "Dear Clara" questions through the HTC website using contact us. The Reviewers are happy to provide you answers to help the process be clear and logical.



This article will be in the newsletter every month to better connect our Practitioners with the Certification process.



In support of you and your Healing Touch journey,

Clara Fay Cation
