Seeking New Members for the Healing Beyond
Borders Research Committee
The Research Committee is seeking to grow in numbers to better serve
the members of our HBB community. Last month, I put out a call for
individuals who were interested to serve on the committee who would
like to be considered for membership. We received emails from several
individuals with varied backgrounds who represent some very
interesting areas. We would also like to provide a second opportunity
for any additional individuals wishing to be considered in case they
missed the call in the first Ezine. If interested, please send an email
to hesssue25716@gmail.com by May 31st, 2021 with a little
information about yourself. Below is a little more detail about the
Research Committee.
The Research Committee attempts to provide resources and education
to interested individuals wishing to promote the effectiveness of Healing
Touch within their lay or health care community and to those individuals
wishing to conduct high quality Healing Touch research. Members of
the committee come from a variety of backgrounds in health care and
research who are members of HBB and the Healing Touch community.
Our committee has the following focus: We are involved in acquiring
and assessing information related to Healing Touch and biofield
research to include in the published Healing Touch Research Brief,
Healing Touch literature matrix, and the HBB Website. We use a variety
of search mechanisms to acquire this information. We are in the
process of updating our pages on the HBB website and the HBB
Research PowerPoint presentation. We hope to answer questions
about Healing Touch research or to participate as a consultant on grants
depending on areas of expertise or availability. Members of the
Research Committee often participate with the Research Director to
present a workshop at the annual HBB Healing Touch conference.
Biofield Research Interest Group Update
I have established a virtual Biofield Research Interest Group that will
meet every 3rd Wednesday of the month at 7:00 pm Eastern time. The
evolving purpose of this group is to gain a better understanding of biofield
therapies, to network, to feel more connected, to share knowledge and areas
of expertise, and to promote our mission to further Healing Touch programs
and research. The first meeting was May 19th to discuss areas of interest
and to help further develop topics for our monthly meeting agendas. If you
would like to receive an invite for this or future virtual meetings, please send
an email with your biofield interests (Healing Touch or other biofield
research, biofield publications, journal club papers or book clubs, networking,
project development, etc.), any affiliations, and time zone you live in
to hesssue25716@gmail.com. From our initial blurb in last month’s Ezine,
we have already assembled an email list of over 25 interested individuals.
I realize with our current proposed day/time, we have not offered a
convenient time to meet with individuals from all over the world, including
our friends in the Netherlands and Europe. I would be happy to try to
organize a second monthly meeting if we can find a consensus day/time with
those interested. Please let me know if you are interested, but the current
proposed time will not work for you.
Any additional questions can be sent to me at the email address above.
Release of the Na onal Center for Complementary and
Integrative Health’s 5-year strategic plan.
Dr Helene Langevin, MD, on May 14th released the new National Center for
Complementary and Integrative Health’s Strategic plan titled, “NCCIH
Strategic Plan FY 2021–2025: Mapping a Pathway to Research on Whole
Person Health.” The plan builds on the previous foundation NCCIH has
developed for twenty plus years. The new plan has a focus on whole person
health. Please click on the link above to explore in detail. Since the plan just
arrived in my email this morning, an upcoming Ezine will discuss the
objectives of the plan and how it fits with the mission of HBB.
