Anita, I’m glad you inquired about hospice. I have been involved with hospice for almost two years and know where you are coming from. I have also practiced other energy work such as Reiki but have always been drawn to Qigong. I am new to this form a Qigong and definitely I like what I see so far and feel it is an invaluable tool in promoting health in myself as well as others.
I have always had the question in the back of my mind or caution when dealing with patients due to medications and what not. For example I have always heard that when helping someone who is going to have a form of surgery that it is better to do healing before and or after but not during. This I understood for various reasons why it was important not to interferer with the surgery its self and any medication being used. In dealing with Hospice patients it is always in the back of my mind how much energy work and how much caution is necessary.
It also occurred to me, and Master Lin mentioned this also that others around you including your surroundings benefit from your energy. So just by the internal work you are doing and your presence you are promoting healing. I know that my feelings of compassion when I look into the depths of my patients eyes is,,, well there is a connection there at a soul level that is hard to put into words. I’m sure you have experienced this and I guess my point is that there is a level of healing going on there that does and goes beyond the cloudiness of our doubtful judgment on the what to do's or how to's. So while you build your energy you have more to share and really do not have to do much but be there compassionately.
In situations where someone is in pain, well let your intuition be your guide. I say this for myself as much as for you. One approach could be to call in your Masters, guides, healers to assist in alleviating and removing the pain. I would ask for assistance from your guides there guides ect as to direct the energies where it is most needed. My first impression would be caution in focused energy to kidney or other organs that may prolong the battle within the body. Check your heart and intuition here. In certain circumstance it may be warranted and certainly sending to the heart could not hurt. Remember that the energy is not coming from you but from all around you, universe, GOD ect draw from this vast resource so that your energies do not get depleted.
