What can we offer our dying patient and their loved ones?
Physical comfort through the application of gentle holding of Acupressure Points to induce deep rest and calm.
Mental comfort through leading them through meditations for releasing and relaxing.
Psychological comfort through profound listening and the skillful inquiry of meaningful questions to help them verbalize their experience.
In this class, we will take deep inquiry into our own feelings about death, have practice time for role playing in inquiry, application of calming Acupressure Points, leading meditations, and reviewing multiple resources you can use in your own clinical practice.
