Guided Imagery and Oncology

Really nice article by Belleruth recalling how guided imagery went from "unmitigated fruitloopery" (hee) to "a respectable, recommended mind-body therapy" in the oncology field.

p.s. She's offering a 10% discount off any CD or download through the end of the month, with a portion of proceeds going to support breast cancer research... use code bcr1011.

Great study in the New York Times shows immediate, measurable benefits from a single massage.  Cortisol is mentioned - that's a stress hormone that is activated in "fight or flight" states, and if sustained it is damaging to tissues and overall health.
