On Science and Healing(taken from an article “The Science of Healing and the Healing of Science” published in Resource Magazine September 2005, Author: Barry Mapp)Science today is in need of healing and healing is in need of science. Without the “appliance of science” to the modality called (hands-on) healing, then ‘treatments’ like Reiki will continue to remain marginalised at the periphery of health care in Hospice and Cancer Units. Equally without the healing (making whole) of science, so much profound knowledge that could be useful to mankind, will remain hidden, whilst the number of meaningless, costly, and environmentally unfriendly “scientific” ventures continue to escalate. When science eventually uncovers the knowledge within the healing domain, it will be a very humbling experience for many. The very nature of science may change forever.
