Healing Touch™ is an energy therapy that focuses on helping to restore the natural flow and balance of the body’s energy system. When we are ill, have had surgery, been injured or experiencing stress, the flow of energy through and around the body can become congested – causing an imbalance or disruption in the energy system.
We can feel these non-beneficial changes and know when our bodies are not functioning optimally. How many times have you said, “My energy is low today” or “I feel great, completely energized!”? We are holistic beings – body, mind, emotion and spirit. When we have a physical issue, it not only causes discomfort but can affect us emotionally. Likewise if we’re feeling emotional about something, anxious or stressed, our physical body is affected.
Healing Touch techniques – which vary from sweeping movements with the hands above the body to light, gentle touch – helps promote a deep relaxation response in the body. When muscles are relaxed, circulation is improved, oxygen levels are increased throughout the body, toxins are released, and healthy cells begin to regenerate, helping to regulate the immune system. The resulting stability within the immune system affects the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual aspects of the body’s energy system which then supports self-healing.
Healing Touch has been actively researched since its inception and has been granted research funding from hospitals, private foundations, universities and other supporters of Integrative Medicine, including the National Institutes of Health Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine.
Documented research indicates that the benefits of Healing Touch go beyond merely treating symptoms and addressing the underlying causes of illness.
Healing Touch is a holistic therapy that complements and is used in conjunction with — not in place of — conventional medical healthcare. The goal of Healing Touch is to restore balance and harmony in the energy system which places the recipient in the best position for self-healing. It may also prevent future issues by restoring balance to the energy system. Field disturbances could later result in illness if left unbalanced.
Healing Touch is a gentle approach to health, healing and over all well-being. Its goal is to restore harmony to the human energy system through a heart-centered, caring relationship between the practitioner and client.
A profound sense of relaxation is often experienced during and following a treatment. A common expression after a treatment is:
"I have never experienced such a deep state of relaxation and I feel very peaceful at the moment." |
