THIS IS HOBBY HELP SERIES FOR SENIORS.
I am compiling a series of things to do - what to do to counter loneliness, in addition, how to go about it. The book about Healing 2 became too big. As it is inconvenient to upload and download big files, I have arranged the info in different files for each system Learn to Heal Part 1 Covers Energy healing, Auras, Chakras, Reiki, Pranic Healing, Islamic and Christian Healing. All of which need no or light touch. This second group also uses Energy to heal, but this needs some touching or body manipulation. There are eight systems covered: 1. Acupressure 2. Aromatherapy 3. Crystal Therapy 4. Magnet Therapy 5. Music Therapy 6. Self massage 7. Sujok 8. Taichi and qigong There is a separate book for each. This one is about Sujok Therapy. I have tested all the links mentioned. As on May 2010, all links are secure, correct and working. You should look for more as you surf. You may find many that will suit to your needs. This is just a first step.

Please feel free to share this with anyone you like.

Sujok Therapy
Introduction Sujok is a drug free system using and manipulating energy points like acupuncture and acupressure. But here the organs and systems of the body are represented totally in the hands and feet only. It is similar to Reflexology in concept. It is developed by Prof. Park Jae Woo, a Korean Scientist, about 35 Years ago. "Sujok" is a combination of two words. In Korean 'Su' means hands and 'Jok' means feet. Thus, SuJok actually means treating hands and feet. Sujok Therapy incorporates the best of traditional oriental medicine practices and terminology. It recognizes energy systems of meridians, and chakras and has similar as well as different methods to deal with the same. It is an instant and effective healing therapy without medication and is absolutely safe and does not have any side effects. Sujok helps in curing diseases like Arthritis, Bronchitis, Asthma, Cervical Spondalytis, Backache, Joints pain, Migraine, Hypertension, Sinusitis, Deafness, Paralysis, Constipation, Acidity, Obesity, Diabetes, Blood-Pressure, Menstrual Problems and many more chronic disease related to different organs of our body.

SU JOK ACUPUNCTURE works in two dimensions The first dimension is physical healing system, whereby giving simple stimulation to the specific corresponding points in hands and feet, cure is achieved. The classical 12 main meridians, the 8 extra meridians, and their attendant points are represented on the hands and feet. They are known as Byol meridians and Byol points. This form of treatment applies the theories and experiences of classical with the new theories of SU JOK ACUPUNCTURE. The second dimension is at psychic and energy levels. These two dimensions, when independently practiced are effective in healing illnesses. However, the combination of two, in accordance with the situation produces more rapid results. Apart from the above two, various other dimensions of SU JOK have been developed by Prof. Park Jae Woo. These include Homo-Hetero principle, Eight origin theory, Diamond structure, Chakra system, Onnuri auricular therapy, Space energy diagnostics, Multi level constitution etc. http://www.sujoktherapy.com/whatissujok.htm

How Does Sujok Work? Sujok is a new practice of acupressure and acupuncture treatment, using a variety of methods to stimulate points only in the hands and feet. This stimulation of energy points can be done by only fingers, any rounded and pointed object, seeds or various other tools and therapies. Sujok is an integrated therapy, using many tried and trusted methods of other systems, but on its own body map.

Seed Therapy, Color Therapy, Crystal Therapy, Magnet Therapy, Reflex Therapy, Massage Therapy, Nail Therapy, Finger toe Therapy, Energy Flow Therapy, Six Ki Therapy, Joint Therapy, Chakra Therapy, Yin / Yang Therapy, Five Element Therapy, Acupuncture, Acupressure, Moxibustion, Number Therapy, Mudra Therapy, Smile Meditation, Smile Yoga, Twist Therapy, Time & Tri Origin Acupuncture etc. are all used alone or in combination for different problems. The most important thing is that all these points are located on both hands and feet so that the entire treatment can be done by locating the points on just one hand or foot. Also, each organ has more than one point to be energized.

Methods
Sujok- is a complete method of applying pressure or massaging the points on feet and palms by needles or other things. It cures diseases without any medicines and without any harmful side effects. It doesn't require huge financial expenses or special medical knowledge, profound skills and intricate devices. Anyone can use it at any age with complete health benefits. Any illness or problem in the body can be diagnosed by finding points and zones of high sensitivity in hands and feet. By pressing or stimulating these points an impulse goes to area of illness to heal it. Each finger on a hand and foot is similar to whole body. The finger has 3 parts - phalanxes. The body also has three main parts (without extremities) - head, chest and stomach. These parts are neatly separated from each other on the body and on the finger. They correspond to each other.

Diagnosis
With probe (or anything with a rounded end, like a ball point pen) press on various points on the designated zone of organs on a palm. Initially many points seem painful .At some points you will feel intolerable pain. That is the trouble point you have to energize.

Treatment
Stick massage. A diagnostic stick with which pressure could be applied is used . A matchstick, toothpick or ball pen may also be used but they should be not sharp. The point is massaged by rotating the stick clockwise and anticlockwise till the pain disappears. If the point could be correctly and perfectly identified then we can massage 2-3 minutes after every 3 hours till cured. Rollers, balls and ring With a massage roller , massage balls or rings many points can be dealt together. In elastic ring massage the ring is placed on the finger, or ball held in the palm. Massage by moving them till the area becomes warm and red .This procedure is done in few hours gap within 24 hours time. Magnet method. The magnet should be arranged on the most painful point with sticky tape. The magnet has southern and northern poles. If your condition becomes worse, change the orientation of the magnet to opposite side.

Energy of seeds We know about the force of sprouting seeds. It can push itself up through solid ground. This latent natural energy is used in therapy. The seeds are pasted by a sticking plaster on required point. They are changed every 24 hours. Different seeds are used for different afflictions. The seed therapy is very effective against chronic diseases and certain pains, especially in joint pains .The seeds could be either placed singly over the effected area or may cover to the entire painful portion. Applying Heat Heat application or fomentation is traditional treatment for many pains. Sujok also applies heat through Moxa sticks. Using Color Diseases connected with external manifestations may be healed by color therapy. Treatment by color has a good effect to heal skin diseases. If malady appears only by reddening without swelling and pain, it should be treated by black color. If illness is accompanied by swelling, itch, weak passing pains, treat by green or dark blue colors. If complaint is with significant but not constant pains and event of erosion, treat with red and yellow colors. If illness is accompanied by constant pains, or the appearance of ulcers, and the affected area gets a gray-black color, treat by yellow and red colors. To apply color therapy it is necessary to paint points of conformity by a marker of definite color.

Outcome
High effectiveness. You may observe the effect in few minutes or even seconds. Complete Safety Wrong application never harms the person-it is just not effective. The Method is Universal. With Sujok, it is possible to treat any part of a body, any organ, any joint, and any illness.

Simple application. Your palms and feet, your knowledge is always with you. It is easy to remember major points and follow the shape of body. The special tools developed for Sujok therapy are usually used, but if you do not have them, it is possible to stimulate bio active points with the help of a toothpick or a match stick.

Holistic Healing Approach

...The holistic healing approach is often overlooked. Our bodies have capable ways of healing it back to normal without succumbing to addiction. With a little help from herbs that are naturally grown in soil, it can help with the healing process. Narcotics such as morphine and heroin, are natural because they are made from the poppy seed pod. However, because of the positive high from heroin, it creates such a dependence that people rely heavily on upon. People feel the need to relive this experience over and over. On the other hand, Turmeric is all natural as well, but its healing properties consist of just that, healing. There is no high created from it like there is from heroin.

...head: Healing Hospital: A Daring Paradigm Gift N Onwunali Grand Canyon University: HLT-310V 4/40/2012 Introduction Many people compare healing to cure. In an effort to fully describe the components of “Healing Hospitals: A Daring Paradigm”, how this “Paradigm” might influence our methodology in rendering care and the relationship of the concept to spirituality, it is important that I explain two key terminologies “healing” and “paradigm. Healing is restoration to a maximum health potential. Restoration does not necessarily have to bring something to its original state of affairs. Rather, the functionality can be used for its desired purpose. “When we heal people, we very often notice that the disease may not disappear. Yet, somehow we have the feeling that we did help that person” (Quanten, P. 2002). A paradigm means a certain way of thinking about something that is generally accepted. It can also mean a standard, or a routine method of achieving a result. Sometimes we may declare words such as “model”, “example” and “pattern” as synonymous with paradigm (Swarup, D. 2011). With that, we can then say that the concept of “Healing Hospital: A Daring Paradigm” is a concept of healing in a revolutionary pattern of care that is not our usual and traditional method of caring but generally accepted. Young and Koopsen indicated that the healing hospital paradigm is a holistic concept that that involves more than just curing a disease process. In the Healing Hospital...

It only made me realize that we have come one full circle to integrate and merge spirituality, alternative and complimentary medicine with traditional practices to enrich patient care. In today’s world that is so commercialized, this integrated approach revitalizes the very intension of the medical mission by considering the subject as a whole person.

Healing Hospital

...A Healing Hospital has many great qualities to it and really does improve the healing process of a patient. Love is believed to be the center of healing. A Healing Hospital is to give a loving service to others in need (Chapman, 2010). A Healing Hospital has been forgotten with the growing technology and medications for everything in the hospitals of today. The Healing Hospital needs compassion and skill as well as new technology and medications (Chapman, 2010). Having the honest support of management and leadership is needed to achieve a Healing Hospital and giving the appreciation to the staff providing the care to the patients. There is three main components that the Healing Hospital embraces. The three ideas are a healing physical environment, integration of work design and technology, and a culture of Radical Loving Care. The healing physical environment must provide to the patient and family a loving, nurturing, and compassionate aesthetically pleasing environment (Eberst, 2011). Having these qualities help the patients and families deal with the illness and stress that accompany the illness. It is not only caring for the patient but how we interact and care for the families and caregivers. The medical facility that creates and promotes a quiet atmosphere also help to provide a less stressful and calmer work environment for all physicians, staff members, and promotes and supports healing for patients.

...Healing hospitals promoting Spirituality Brittany Henson Grand Canyon University-HLT310-V June 7, 2015 There are many healing hospitals in the United States. The goal or mission of a healing hospital is to ensure the patients are safe and comfortable, and creates an environment to remind the staff of why they chose a career in the health care field. It is important for the healthcare providers to be able to provide holistic care to all patients at all times. This type of care ensures that the patient needs are being met. Having a healing environment is vital to patient outcome and treatment. True healing environments are constructed in ways that help patients and families cope with the stresses of illness (Eberest, 2008, pg.77). In order to promote healing a hospital has to have a quiet environment so the patients can an adequate amount of sleep. During sleep cells regenerate and therefore promote healing in the body. Also having a healing environment means being free from excess noise in the facility. A noisy environment may cause a patient to be fearful and have an increase in anxiety. It is important for staff to communicate using indoor- voices so patient are able to get adequate rest. Integrating work design and technology in a healing hospital is significant because it contributes to patients having individualized care.

...Healing Hospital: Grand Canyon University: HLT-310-V 09/18/2015 When one thinks of a hospital, they automatically think of a place that people go to get better or get well if they have fallen ill or are suffering from a lengthy illness. While many people do get better or "get well" while in the hospital, do the patients truly heal? A hospital should not only be a place where wellness occurs, it should be a place of healing. Most hospitals focus on helping their patients overcome an illness or get well, but the best hospitals are those who help their patients to heal. These special hospitals that provide an atmosphere that caters to both the spiritual healing as well as the physical healing of it's patients are referred to as "healing hospitals". A healing hospital is one that helps to heal the patient as a whole person. It is a hospital that goes beyond scientifically treating a specific ailment and aims to heal the patient's physical body, mind, and soul. These hospitals are designed to be aesthetically appealing, quiet, and all around therapeutic. The staff members in these types of hospitals are trained to care not only for the patient but for the patient's family members as well.

Healing Hospital – a Daring Paradigm

...Healing Hospital – A Daring Paradigm The healing hospital model is a new paradigm that focuses treatment on both the physical and spiritual needs of patients. In fact, it is intent on ensuring that the patient achieves whole body wellness, and not only disease management. As such, it advances the concept that for healing to be complete, the physical needs should be addressed in concurrence with the patient’s spiritual and emotional needs. With regards to the spiritual needs, the concept draws ideas from the Bible. For instance, 1st Corinthians 12:9 clearly indicates that human beings were given the spirit of healing to meet spiritual needs. To achieve this goal, the concept applies three principal components to include, adopting loving care as a culture, meeting physical needs, and an integrated work technology and design. On the other hand, the concept is faced by challenges that hinder its effectiveness and efficiency (Chapman, 2005). This paper discusses the components and difficulties of a healing hospital as a daring paradigm. As earlier indicated, a healing hospital has three principal components. This is because it lays emphasis on the healing environment, ensuring that care provision is not limited to medication and medical procedures, but also to how the patients and their families are involved in the process of treatment. In essence, the concept introduces a new paradigm whereby the body is believed to constitute a spirit, mind and physical form that must be taken...

Therefore, even with a move in the future to a new sight and facility, it is important to keep many of the core features intact for generations to come. Water therapy in particular holds a special place and for good reason. It has numerous positive effects, and deserves a spot to be showcased. Water therapy offers a very unique sensory experience for whoever is participating in it. It expresses an environment of exploration which can be extremely beneficial to a child suffering from traumatic experiences. In the case of the Phoenix center, it gives the children a chance to cool off and play carefree in a safe environment. It also encourages sharing which in turn can benefit both children involved and even those around them.This allows them to develop trust with their peers and form confidence that will ultimately help them face their struggles. It can also benefit handicap children or a child with health or mental issues. The sensations of the water can help with movement and feeling and help boost morale immensely.

Ostrowsky Nova Southeastern University   1   EFFECTS  OF  MUSIC  THERAPY   2   Effects of Music Therapy in Preoperative, Intraoperative and Postoperative Care Music Therapy has been used as a way of healing without medication for centuries. In the 1800’s traveling music groups played for injured veterans returning from war. Doctors and nurses noticed the positive effect music had on their healing process. In the 1900’s music was used along with anesthesia to calm patients during surgery (Nilsson, 2008). Today, music therapy is used in the clinical setting in many areas, especially in hospitals “to reduce patient pain, anxiety and stress”, in preoperative, perioperative and postoperative settings (Nilsson, 2008, p. 780). Furthermore, it can create a positive mental attitude and a sense of well being to promote emotional as well as physical healing (Economidou, Klimi, Vivilaki & Lykeridou, 2012). Music Therapy Music therapy is an area of health care that uses music as a therapeutic way to encourage healing of the mind and body. Listening to music stimulates all areas of the brain (Nilsson, 2008). It affects our emotions and can arouse feelings immediately.

A Healing Hospital: a Daring Paradigm

...A Healing Hospital: A Daring Paradigm Introduction It has been well documented that when people are asked where they would prefer to die, the most common answer is, "At home." The sad fact is that most people draw their last breath at a hospital or some other type of health institution (Gomes, Higgins, 2006). The hospital environment has not been traditionally known as a spiritual place that promotes a loving, pleasing and compassionate environment. Although, a hospital is known to provide a cure for many physical ailments, it is not an environment that adequately promotes the ability to deal with a patient's death or the patient's healing process. The differences between the healing process and a cure is that in the Western medicine philosophy, the intention is to eradicate the disease. The patient is seen as a series diagnoses and symptoms, while in the healing process, the intention is that the patient return to a state of holistic wellness and recovery (Gomes, Higgins, 2006).
