Coma: Travel of Healing. Mintell E.

In our time, in a state of coma, there are much more people than in the past; Moreover, the majority of caring people know only a little more about how to communicate with these people, which was known centuries ago.

One of the reasons for such ignorance comes from the prevailing point of view in medicine, according to which the altered states of consciousness They are not taken into account as significant aspects of our experience.

as we learn more about the special needs of those who are seriously ill or close to death, we must also develop more humane methods of communicating with people in coma and care about them. Working with a coma means teaching a new language, teaching communication with the help of sounds, visions, breathing, feelings and movement. When doing this, we overcome the gap between the ordinary world and the world of those who seem so far away.
