person meditating on floorDr. Kenneth S. Ditzian, director of Exerciseworks of Boston, found Ramel Rones, modified mind body approach of the eastern arts (Chi Kung, Tai Chi, Yoga and Various Meditations Forum) very useful, both professionally and personally.

Professionally, I clinically work with cancer patients and orthopedic injured patients who need relaxation and stretching methods for pain management as well as restoring range of motion.

Regarding their psychological problems, the mental stimulation techniques that Ramel teaches really activates the brain and body connections.

Personally, I am a chronic lymphocytic leukemia patient in complete remission. During and after my cancer care I have applied many mind/body complimentary approaches to activate my immune system and stimulate my healing process. Methods such as Ramel's helped me reduce uncomfortable physical symptoms and cope with anxiety, depression and sadness. Now I am interested in learning more of his mind/body exercises so I can incorporate them with mine to better serve my patients and keep myself in complete remission.

Most of his Qigong mind/body exercises are new to me. I understand his concepts and believe his work is important for activating the mind/bodies natural healing process for relief and normalization of physiological processes.

I have already applied his mind/body exercises with my Exerciseworks of Boston patients. I expect to see improved results. I work one-on-one with them at fitness centers and at their homes. I teach them the breathing methods, stretches, strengthening, and cardio methods. I will integrate Qigong and also refer them to Ramel when applicable. I also plan to follow-up for more Qigong knowledge.

I've been learning about eastern medicine since the early 70's, when I started my own practice. I had one of the first acupuncturists and yoga ashrams in my clinic in Belmont, Mass. I have taken some Tai Chi courses and also sword techniques from a Korean Master at the Korean Buddhist Temple in Brighton.

Now I am interested in learning more about Qigong for my personal and professional use.
