Amsterdam, New York - Sister Rita Jean DuBrey, CSJ, MSN (Sister Valerie John), director of the Center for Complementary Therapies at St. Mary’s, Amsterdam, authored an article recently featured in Energy Magazine. Her article, “The Diamond Technique – An Energetic Intervention in Support of the Immune System,” articulates Sister Rita Jean’s use of The Diamond Technique with clients with compromised immune systems. “My intention is to offer information about a technique which has the potential to support the immune system of our clients, as well as provides the option to be used as a self-care technique,” states Sister Rita Jean.
In her article, Sister Rita Jean describes the Diamond Technique with its uses: client empowerment and practitioner self-care. In her summary, Sister Rita Jean writes, “I see the Diamond in my mind’s eye as a three-dimensional configuration filled with Light from the Divine Source. The Cross configuration emerges as hand placements connect the thymus and root chakra and the spleen and liver.” The article may be found at http://www.healingtouchprogram.com/energy/issues/april2011.pdf
