HT SESSIONS GIVEN AT ANNUAL THOMPSON
CANCER SURVIVAL RETREAT
On April
20th, Mary Ann Geoffrey and Margaret Whitefield Lesch volunteered Healing Touch
sessions for 10 women at the Thompson Cancer Survival Center Retreat held in
With a table set under the shade of a tree, Mary Ann and Margaret greeted each woman, relieving pain for some and simply providing comfort for others. This was the first Healing Touch session for many women and they were pleased at the opportunity to experience this new modality.
The retreat weekend was to honor women who are survivors of cancer – many of breast cancer. Manicures, pedicures, facials, massages and energy therapies were provided throughout the day.
This is an annual event and was the first time energy therapies had been included in the retreat schedule. The coordinator was enthusiastic about including Healing Touch in future retreats.
Margaret said, “Sharing Healing Touch with these women was a very rewarding experience. Mary Ann and I would encourage other practitioners to share their hearts by volunteering for this endeavor in the future. Spreading the word…..”

HTET MEMBER
SPOTLIGHT
Margaret Whitefield Lesch is the owner of IN GOOD HANDS ENERGY HEALING
CENTER, where she is an energy therapy practitioner and workshop
coordinator. Margaret is a Certified
Healing Touch Practitioner and has also immersed herself in various other
studies of energy medicine. She has studied with Rev. Rosalyn Bruyere, the
Barbara Brennan School of Healing,
Like many of us, Margaret has a poignant story of beginning her journey
into H.T. The following is an excerpt from her article on healing touch in the
April 2007 edition of EVAMAG, a local women’s magazine:
We often find assurance in knowing that
behind every cloud is a silver lining, but when your husband is diagnosed with
non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, as mine was a few years ago, you may be hard-pressed to
find it. The silver lining behind our
cloud changed our lives forever.
Prior to 2001, energy healing was a
foreign concept to me. Through our
cancer support group, I learned about Healing Touch, a bio-field therapy that
has an energy-based approach to health and healing. A workshop was scheduled
the next month and I was called to attend.
One evening following the workshop, I asked my husband if I could practice
on him. No longer than it took for me to
slide one hand under his chest and place the other hand over his chest, we
began to feel a pull—as if his body was a vacuum that needed filling. He began to feel calm—filling with the
Universal Life Energy, the essence of all life.
The next morning, he felt more energized than he had in months.
We are greatly saddened by
the
news of the passing of
Bettina Hansen on May 26, 2007. Bettina
was an active participant in our Healing Touch community as well as a beloved
friend to all. She will be greatly
missed.

“Miracles rest not so much upon healing
power coming suddenly near us from afar, but upon our perceptions being made
finer, so that for the moment our eyes can see and our ears can hear what has
been there around us always”.
