New ways of healing

I am open to alternative ways to facilitate healing. When I was most sick and was dying, I was referred to a physician who specialized in visualization. I began seeing him every month to stimulate my immune system. I was also getting a different chemotherapy. I don't know what happened and why, I only know that I am still alive five years later. I understand that it could well be the change in chemotherapy. It could also be the visualization, a practice I maintained with that doctor once a month for about two years. I do know that if my health status changed I would go back to him and begin visualization work again.

I bring this up because I am now taking a class through our community college on experiential art processes. Yesterday we were introduced to the mandala as a way to facilitate healing. I want to dedicate one of my sketchbooks to the almost daily process of drawing one mandala and see where that takes me. At the very least, mandalas are balanced and beautiful and I would enjoy them for that alone.
