I am sure that this particular list is far from conclusive. Many of these names as as new to me as they will be for the individuals reading this editorial. If it serves to spark one's interest, then I will have succeeded in my goal.

As for myself, I am currently enrolled in a Crystal Healing Practitioner course. I was able to acquire my Level 1 Reiki certificate (October 2002) and am soon to acquire Level 2 (March 2003).

I hope that you will also take the time to peruse the Aromatherapy, Chakra Clearing, Color Therapy, Crystals, Dreams, EMF Balancing Technique, Energetic Arts, Flower Essences, Gemstones, Reiki Healing category links as denoted here.

Please also refer to the previous ezine segments; namely, Holistic Health October 2002 and Holistic Health December 2002 for possible courses.

I have also attempted to list books that I hope will prove helpful and beneficial to all.

If I may now leave you with words from Source:

"There are many names and more names are invented, when it comes to alternative healing. Yet there are only two basic categories. One that deals with energy manipulation and the other which entails herbs, minerals and vitamins. The field is growing and will become, at one point in time, the primary way of treatment."

"The energy manipulation will help to a very large or very small degree depending on the practitioner. It will not harm. It can be practiced by nearly everyone, if they learn to recognize it. Some of the names for energy work are Acupuncture, Ayurvedik, Reiki, Laying on Hands and others."

"The second type deals with administration of substances such as vitamins, minerals, herbs and other organic materials. Unfortunately, the knowledge level of and the proper amounts are not known. The body is capable in eliminating most of the excesses however, prolonged use of some may have damaging effects. This include Homeopathic administration of vitamins. This field is really in its infancy, yet it is far above the damaging and deadly use of prescribed or over the counter medicines. Contrary to what the doctors say, the total action on human system, by all of the drugs, have never been studied nor understood."
