In the Women’s Center of a local college there sat a group of women, similar, yet different. Courageous women who were all breast cancer survivors. My program for them was “Guided Meditation for Insight and Joy.” After we shared a bite to eat and lots of hearty humor we moved into the\u00a0evening’s event.\u00a0I gave\u00a0a brief introduction on meditation\u00a0then led\u00a0the group\u00a0through three customized guided imagery exercises.<\/p>\n
The room calmed as the women released stress and anxiety, and\u00a0the green plants lining the window sill seemed to perk up. Each person tried something new and reaped the benefits. Some comments after the program included: “soothing; relaxing (x4); peaceful; personal; interesting;\u00a0nice . . . how nice; reflective; time you give yourself.”<\/p>\n
I congratulate The Breast Cancer Survival Center<\/a>\u00a0<\/a>which offers\u00a0unique programs throughout the year. Their founder Susan Santangelo\u00a0epitomizes living life to the fullest.\u00a0The women in attendance\u00a0had endured trauma, fear, and loss as well as recovery, transformation and joy.<\/p>\n Creativity and wellness message for today: Healing is creating an environment in which your mental, physical, spiritual and emotional bodies can integrate.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In the Women’s Center of a local college there sat a group of women, similar, yet different.
