The 3-day holistic healing workshop for cancer patients being held at Max Super Specialty Hospital (MSSH), Mohali on Sunday.
Mohali, August 3, 2014: The 3-day holistic healing workshop for cancer patients concluded at Max Super Specialty Hospital (MSSH), Mohali today. The workshop was the joint efforts of MSSH, Mohali along with Holistic Healing Trust, Chandigarh, The Hypnotherapy School of India (HSI) , Aikya The One (ATO) and The Empowerment and Healing Foundation (EHF) to ‘make a difference’ through the workshop to empower and equip individuals with the awareness of connecting back to themselves to live effective and productive lives.
Realizing the need to have a support program in place, HIS and a team of Therapists from the Cancer Unit of Max Hospital have come together to create a ‘Healing Support Program’. The 40 patients and their family members are attending this first of its kind workshop in the country.
The objectives of workshop were to provide knowledge & learning and a self sustaining support program to heal self from sickness to wellness. It also aimed to explore & discover how the mind body and soul would work together by finding out how positive thinking could change life. It was focused to improve the quality of life through the limitless potential of the mind and to learn coping strategies to change negative beliefs into healing thoughts.
Dr Sachin Gupta, Senior Consultant, Medical Oncology at MSSH said that through workshop we intended support the individual to walk back from sickness to wellness. We have seen a significant improvement in the overall well being and health of my patients, post the first workshop last month. We hoped to organize many such workshops in future not only for cancer patients but also for our staff and doctors who were constantly engaged in dealing with cancer patients. This workshop focused on treating the mind and the soul. We treated the body with chemotherapy, surgery and radiation but were also trying to combine modern medicine and holistic healing approach, asserted Dr Gupta.
Blossom Furtado, Founder & President, ATO said that we were spiritual beings having a human experience. However what really happened was that over time particularly we as “humans” would forget our true nature and let our system get contaminated. We realized we have the power to return our system back from sickness to wellness with the support of all interventions at the physical, mental and emotional and astral levels of our energy system, she remarked.
HSI and our team of committed and dedicated Therapists have come together to create a Healing Support Program that has a Soul-Mind-Body approach for addressing all sickness and enabling the individual to move forward from sickness to wellness, maintained Furtado.
