Seasons Reiki Share newsletter May 2009

The next Seasons Hospice Reiki Share will be Tuesday May 12 from 5:30 to 7:30 at the Harmony Primary Care Greenspring Office, 2835 Smith Ave, suite 203, zip 21209 in the Greenspring Shopping Center.

All members of the Seasons Team including our Volunteers are welcome to this free Reiki Share!

Oct 1, 2006, about 2 1/2 years ago, that i accepted the mission of being Seasons Medical Director in Maryland, and about 1 1/2 years ago that i had a vision of bringing a Reiki share to our Team.

A wonderful aspect of working with Seasons, is that Marcia provides a vision that encourages creativity and spiritual approach to care of patients. In Honoring Life and Offering Hope, we need to focus on more than wearing the "white coat" of a doctor or nurse. Patients and families caught in in a space of apparent decline need human connection.

Seasons attracts a special sort of person, and it is both humbling and an honor to serve as a part of this Team.

And we have grown a great deal together. Our new move to the office on Aviation drive is incredible. The spirit this week was exciting and uplifting!

When Gary Applebaum and i brought "Salt and Bread" to the new office, on behalf of the whole Harmony Primary Care Team, but especially the docs working with Seasons, Gary, myself, Deb Burton and Sharlene Rajapakse, we celebrated the opening of the "new office," but we want the Team to know the physician joy in working with this Team is year round.

Thanks to Amy and Pat for supporting all that we are trying to accomplish! And congratulations to Brenda Jackson and to Pat, who completed Reiki Master level training, and joined myself, Barbara Hanley, and Sharlene Rajapakse as Reiki Masters within the Seasons program.

The intention of our Reiki program is to teach a simple method for helping patients in a holistic and non invasive way. Beyond that, it focuses on building our own skills in grounding, and in accepting spiritual energy from the source of infinite stength, so that we can work in this difficult yet rewarding mission without exhausting ourselves. In so doing, i believe we strengthen our own bonds of fellowship in this humbling and rewarding mission.

I want to invite anyone interested in joining our Reiki Share, one can join at any level, and there is no charge!

And i want to again thank my Reiki teachers, Robin Hannon and Amy Rowland for their continuing encouragement and support.
