Wow! We are very impressed with the hospital here at the Cleveland Clinic! We even had a holistic nurse come by and discuss some healing therapies offered by the hospital. They offer Reiki (or healing touch), light massage, guided imagery, and aromatherapy. Every clergy member is trained in Reiki, which is a kind of energy medicine that allows the body to balance it's own energy...very cool! Donita has done some energy balancing with Alex in the past and he has really benefited from it, so he is looking forward to seeing Jeff (our assigned clergy member) later for a full Reiki treatment. The nurse gave us three aromatherapy scents (one for me and two for Alex)...peppermint, lavender, and pink grapefruit to use for revitalization, focus and relaxation.
Tins with the beeswax and scents in them.
Alex getting focused with the peppermint...
Also, family members also get access to all healing services on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, so maybe tomorrow we can try that out as well! :0)
I thought this was interesting information on the energy healing...

Hey Gina and Alex. Hope everything is going better for you both. You need to hurry back so we can play some Pop-a-shot on the wii! I think I have Alex's patented move perfected! I am responding to this post because my Mom actually does natural healing and has for many years now. It is very powerful and the benefits can be huge. Its nice to see some hospitals embracing something beyond medicine. You guys continue to be in our prayers. Take care.
Tyson and Ashley
