Description
Through recent modifications in our health care system, there has been an increased interest in the use of alternative methods for healing. This well-organized book is written for both the novice and experienced nurse to use as a guide for including meditation in everyday practice. Guidelines for the use of meditation offer these individuals exploration into treatment of the multidimensional nature of their patient's illness and empower the patient's themselves to use their mind as a healing agent. As this book presents a compliment to traditional systems of healing, it opens the door for acceptance in the use of meditation for healing.
