I’m attending a Healing Hands conference being held in New York this year. Fortunately, I was able to book a room at a New York Cheap Hotel, which helped me afford the conference. Being a nurse, my funds are limited. I was able to attend three workshops, all dealing with Intentional Healing with hands on energy work.
My first workshop focused on some theoretical and scientific dimensions of intentionality. Consciousness as a framework for transpersonal nursing where new connections are made between noetic sciences and transpersonal caring theory. Both cultivate intentionality as a form of focused consciousness. What will emerge is a universal energy-field and posited as the foundation of a caring moment. Creating potential healing for both practitioner and the patient. I will be given practical guidelines that will activate intentionality into a living theory of transpersonal caring-healing praxis.
The second workshop will focus on how Native American nurses facilitate and promote harmony and balance through connectedness. According to the Native Americans, connectedness is at the core of intentionality. Connectedness occurs through the dynamics of an interdependent and interrelated relationship between the nurse and the patient. The worldview of the Native Americans will be illuminated and illustrated within the context of culturally congruent nursing interventions. This workshops sounds so fascinating to me.
My third workshop will be on the metaphor hands-on history of nursing. It will highlight the internal conflict and reflect the centrality of patient care. It will help us connect with the intent to heal and go into the deeper meaning of the hands-on healer. Nurses have struggled to maintain a holistic approach to patient care and some nurses have moved from holistic care of the client to a holistic use of self as a healer. This workshop will unify the approach of head, heart and hands as touch therapies. I will learn how my head and heart can unite with the actions of my hands and create an intention to heal.
