靈氣與乳癌
In an editorial entitled “Alternative Therapy for Breast Cancer: Outcomes, Obstacles and Opportunities” published in the April 2011 issue of Annals of Surgical Oncology, author Sheldon Marc Feldman, MD, FACS, and Chief of Breast Surgical Oncology at New York’s Columbia University Medical Center discusses research that supports his rationale for inviting Reiki practitioners to assist with his breast cancer patients. His article presents a scientifically supported view as to why patients require more than just traditional Western medicine in order to face cancer. He states unequivocally that patients who are resistant to receiving the proven life-saving treatments of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation are much more likely to accept these traditional treatments when they are being offered in partnership with alternative healing methods, thereby increasing their chances for survival from their disease. I quote Dr. Feldman here:
在一篇社論裡，有一個名為"替代療法治療乳腺癌之研究:結果、阻礙及機會"發表在 2011 年 4 月外科腫瘤年鑒，作者為謝爾敦馬克·費爾德曼，他是紐約哥倫比亞大學醫學中心的首席乳癌腫瘤外科醫師，討論他為何邀請靈氣治療師，以協助他對乳腺癌患者的研究。他的文章提出了為什麼病人面對癌症時不僅只需要傳統的西方醫學。他毫不含糊地對表示對於這些抗拒西醫治療患者更有可能接受這些傳統的治療方法，如預防性手術、化療和放療等，當他們在夥伴關係中採用替代療法時，從而增加他們的疾病生存的機會。我在這裡引用費爾德曼博士:
At Columbia, we have initiated a study that incorporates the role of Reiki practitioners in applying mind–body principles and energy healing to help to prepare patients for breast cancer surgery and emotionally accept the loss of their breast(s). We must continue to strive to provide care that is patient-centered and reduces the stress and trauma of disease.
在哥倫比亞大學，我們已開始合併運用靈氣治療師的精神 — — 身心原理和能量療癒，來幫助準備接受乳腺癌手術患者及協助他們在情緒上接受會失去乳房這件事。我們必須繼續努力提供以病人為中心的護理，來減少疾病帶來的壓力和創傷。
What Dr. Feldman has presented on the pages in this medical journal is, in fact, an expression of the reality he lives by. For those of us in the field of alternative medicine who know him, he is a man of power, vision, and brilliance who has the ability to inspire everyone he meets.
費爾德曼醫師是出現在醫學雜誌頁面上的人物，實際上，他真實的表達他的生活。對於那些在替代醫學領域認識他的人，我們都知道他是一個擁有權威、遠見且卓越之人，並能去激勵鼓舞他所遇見的每個人。
For several months now, Dr. Feldman has invited me to join him in his quest to serve the needs of his patients. When they ask him, “How can I get ready for this, doctor?” he tells them that they should consider Reiki before, during, and after their procedures, because there is less bleeding, blood pressure stays steady, complications are kept at bay, and healing is quicker when patients receive Reiki as part of their treatment. This has resulted in many trips to the operating room for me, and I can honestly say that no two cases are the same. Surgeries might be called by the same name: “lumpectomy,”, “bilateral mastectomy,” and so on, but the fact is, every life with its circumstances is unique, and every moment is totally different from any other. Here are a few examples of what I mean:
近幾個月，費爾德曼博士邀請我參加他的研究，去服務需要他的病人。當患者問他，"我要如何為這個手術做準備呢?醫師?"，他告訴他們，他們應該考慮在療程前、中、後期使用靈氣，當患者接受靈氣作為治療的一部分時，會幫助他們的出血量變少，血壓保持穩定，在開刀房減少併發症的發生，並協助他們癒合速度更快。這是我在開刀房多次參與得出的結果，我可以誠實地說，沒有兩個案例都是一樣的。手術可能是同一個名字:"乳房腫瘤切除術""雙邊乳房切除術"等等，但事實是，每個人的生活情況的每一刻都是獨一無二，且完全不同於其他任何人。下面幾個例子說明我的意思:
Patient Jenny was terrified of having a mastectomy and begged Dr. Feldman for a lumpectomy instead. After viewing all test results and considering carefully, he agreed that he would give her the lumpectomy if the pathology from the OR during surgery held up to support this course of action. The caveat was that under no circumstances would he take a chance that would endanger her life.病患珍妮對於乳房切除術感到恐懼，她懇求費爾德曼醫師以乳房腫瘤切除術來代替。在查看所有的測試結果，並仔細考慮後，他同意幫她做乳房腫瘤切除術，如果手術的病理學報告支持這個行動。但前提是，不能冒險危害她的生命安全。
Luckily, we had several Reiki sessions beforehand. We concentrated on clearing her lymph nodes of any cancer. Her lymph nodes were of crucial importance and would be the determining factor of what Dr. Feldman would ultimately remove in the OR—either the tumors or her breast.
幸運的是，我們在動刀前有幾次關於靈氣的會議。我們專注於清除任何在她淋巴結上的所有癌細胞。她的淋巴結極為重要，這將是費爾德曼醫師最後的決定性因素 —選擇摘除腫瘤或她的整個乳房。
On the day of surgery, I met Jenny at the hospital very early, since Dr. Feldman wanted me to accompany her to a specific procedure pre-surgery. After checking into pre-op, I went with her to radiology. In between x-rays being taken to identify the exact location of the tumors, I provided Jenny with Reiki during the painful insertion of hollow needles containing wires. These wires would later lead Dr. Feldman to the tumors during the surgery. Reiki rendered this needle-insertion ordeal much easier to bear.
手術當天，我很早就在醫院遇見珍妮，因為費爾德曼醫師想讓我陪她參與手術前的護理。在進入等候室之後, 我跟她去放射科。做X光檢查確定腫瘤的確切位置，我在將空針及金屬線插入身體期間為珍妮傳送靈氣。這些金屬線之後能引導費爾德曼博士進行腫瘤手術。靈氣幫助珍妮更容易承受針刺入的痛苦。
When the operation got underway, as always, I was working next to the anesthesiologist, sending Reiki directly through the top of Jenny’s head. Dr. Feldman removed the tumors along with the lymph nodes, all of which were sent to the lab for immediate evaluation. A cheer went up when the results came back “negative,” and Jenny got to keep her breast.
當手術開始後，像往常一樣，我站在麻醉師旁邊，直接傳送靈氣到珍妮的頭頂。費爾德曼博士切除淋巴結，所有的檢體都立即被送往實驗室評估是否為腫瘤。當結果是"陰性"時，珍妮保有了她的乳房，同時也響起一陣歡呼聲。
靈氣與乳癌
In another situation, a woman we’ll call Nancy had to have one of her breasts removed due to the size of the cancer therein. In her case, she decided to have a double mastectomy in order to avoid another surgery later on. Dr. Feldman wanted her to have Reiki during surgery, but because her insurance company refused to pay one of her very expensive bills, she didn’t have the money. In her case, her family paid my fees. Nancy had a wonderful support system—her husband and mother came to the hospital with her, and they were so glad that Nancy had me with her through her ordeal. In her case, she had a numbing procedure done just before the actual bi-lateral mastectomy; ports of local anesthetics were inserted into her back so that her pain would be lessened in her recovery after the surgery. This, too, is a painful procedure, and Reiki helps tremendously to withstand it. These decisions and these surgeries are all very scary stuff for a woman to deal with! But the one constant I notice is that when Reiki is being offered, women feel empowered. They know that there is someone present who is concentrating on one thing and one thing only: to flood them with life force at a time when they are most vulnerable. It is comforting for them to know that when they are under anesthesia, someone is there filling them up with the loving power that heals, which is what I know Reiki to be: Love that heals, plain and simple. How can we measure the effects of Love? How can we know the ways in which it is keeping these women safe? We can only observe and acknowledge the comfort that Reiki brings.
在另一種情況中，我們打電話給一名女性南茜，她患有乳癌不得不切除雙側乳房。而她決定做雙乳房切除術，以避免之後還要再做一次手術。費爾德曼醫師想讓她在手術中使用靈氣，但因為她的保險公司拒絕支付她非常昂貴的療程，她沒有足夠的錢。在她的案件，她的家人支付我的費用。南茜有一個很棒的的支持系統 —她的丈夫和母親來到醫院陪她，他們都很高興，南茜能和我一起合作通過嚴酷的考驗。在她的案例中，只有在實際進行雙側乳房切除術時她沒有知覺;當局部麻醉劑經由導管進入她的背時，也減少她在術後的痛苦。這也是一個痛苦的過程，靈氣能提供極大的協助幫助患者承受它。做這些決定和這些手術對一個女人來說，所有的過程都是很可怕的!但我注意到當我為她們提供靈氣時，婦女會感到自己更能夠面對這些事。他們知道是目前要專注的只有一件事:當他們在最脆弱的時候，靈氣提供給予她們充滿生命的力量，是一種安慰。她們知道，在他們麻醉的時候，有人送給她充滿愛的力量來療癒她，這是我所知道的靈氣:用愛來治癒，平實而簡單。我們如何可以衡量愛的影響?我們怎麼可以知道，它如何保持這些婦女的安全感?我們只能觀察和承認靈氣帶來的舒適。
Cancer in a woman affects her entire family, and in most cases a large community of friends. To know that a Reiki Master is present in the OR is always a grace for those who love the woman whose life is on an operating table, out of their sight. Her family and friends know that she is not alone in that scary place. To realize that her life itself is being cared for and nurtured by the power of Reiki is a level of “good” for the family that is likewise immeasurable. I’ve received letters from clients afterward, telling me how much they and their families love me, which for me, is the greatest honor and the most rewarding part.
一個女性罹癌會影響她整個家庭，和多數擁有病症的同一群朋友。要知道一位靈氣大師對這些罹癌女性來說，是目前躺在手術檯上眼見所及唯一的恩典和禮物。她的家人和朋友知道，她不是獨自在那個可怕的地方。要意識到因為靈氣的力量，她目前本身的居家療養品質和家庭生活是無法被估量的一個"好"的水準。我已經收到來自客戶端的來信，文字裡告訴我多少他和他們的家人是如何的愛我，對我來說，這是最大的榮幸和最有意義的部分
And now here’s something really special I wish to share with you: I was just on a case a few days ago and met Dr. Feldman at 6:30 am in his office to get my scrubs. All the hallways in that part of the hospital were dark—he was the only one already at work. As he fished the scrubs out of the darkened hall closet, I mentioned that I had been wondering about something: “Dr. Feldman, I’ve been curious to know, do you feel the Reiki during surgery? Do you notice a difference when Reiki is in the operating room?” “Oh yes, Raven, I do. I think the whole surgery team feels it, even though they probably don’t realize what it is,” and with that he turned back down the hall to his office, to his endless paperwork and countless e-mails, while I raced back to pre-op to give Reiki to his patient while she awaited her 7:30 am appointment with him in the OR.
現在我有些真的很特別的事情想與你分享:幾天前我去看一個病患，在早上6:30遇到了費爾德曼醫師在他的辦公室去拿我的工作服。那時醫院的走廊裡一片漆黑 — 他是唯一一個已經在工作的人。當他刷手完走出陰暗的走廊小房間時，我提到:"費爾德曼醫師，我一直好奇地想知道，你感覺靈氣在手術過程中有幫助到什麼嗎?你注意到當靈氣被施做時是在手術室，這有什麼差異嗎?""哦，Raven，我的確有感覺到。我覺得整個手術團隊能感覺到，儘管他們可能沒有意識到它是什麼"，我與他轉身至大廳來到他的辦公室，一樣是無休止的文書工作和無數的電子郵件，我趕回開刀房在手術前傳送靈氣給他的病人，她熱切期待早上7:30時和費爾德曼醫師在手術室的約會。
There aren’t words enough to express how grateful I am to Dr. Feldman for giving me the opportunity to bring Reiki to women who have their backs up against the wall of breast cancer. Not only does it contribute to their healing, but Reiki also soothes them, brings them confidence in the outcome, allows them to “believe” that all will be well; and because Dr. Feldman has recommended it, his patients see him in a light bordering on the divine. He is also making it possible for other doctors in other fields of medicine to encounter and consider Reiki—like the plastic surgeons who come in right after a mastectomy and the ever-changing teams of anesthesiologists and the OR nurses—it’s just so wonderful that Reiki is spreading into their hearts and minds. I wonder if Dr. Feldman knows how lucky the women and their families consider themselves to be to have a brilliant doctor giving the best, most excellent surgery available on planet earth, while allowing the comfort and loving power of Reiki to be part of their treatment. I suspect he might...
完全沒有任何的言語來表達我是多麼感激到爾德曼醫師給我機會，為那些走投無路的乳腺癌女性傳送靈氣。靈氣不僅僅幫助他們痊癒，也撫慰她們的心靈，帶給他們信心的結果，使他們"相信"這一切都會是好的;也因為費爾德曼博醫師的建議，他的病人看見他帶來近乎神聖的光。他也正為之後可能遇到其他醫學領域的醫師來為她們推廣靈氣—就像是做乳房切除術時，為麻醉醫師和或者團隊的整形外科醫生護士帶來改變 — 這真的是太美好了，靈氣蔓延到他們的心靈和思想。我想知道費爾德曼醫師是否了解，這些女性和他們的家人為自己能夠有這樣優秀醫生能給出在行星地球上可用且最好、最頂尖的外科手術而感到多麼的幸運，在此同時還能獲得靈氣的安慰和愛的療癒，進而成為他們治療的一部分。我懷疑他可能...
