Therapeutic Touch is a contemporary healing modality drawn from ancient practices and developed by Dora Kunz and Dolores Krieger. The practice is based on the assumptions that human beings are complex fields of energy, and that the ability to enhance healing in another is a natural potential.
T T is used to balance and promote the flow of human energy. It is taught in colleges around the world and has a substantial base of formal and clinical research. This research has shown that Therapeutic Touch is useful in reducing pain, aiding relaxation, improving wound healing and easing the dying process.
Therapeutic
touch is a type of
energy
medicine whereby the therapist moves his or her hands over the patient’s
“energy field,” allegedly directing the flow of
chi or
prana
so the patient can heal. T T is based on the belief that each
living thing has a “life energy field” which extends beyond the surface
of the body and generates an
aura.
This energy field can become unbalanced, misaligned, obstructed, or out
of tune.
Energy healers can feel and manipulate this energy field by making movements that resemble massaging the air a few inches above the surface of the patient’s body. Energy healers also believe that they can transfer life energy to the patient. These airy manipulations allegedly restore the energy field to a state of balance or harmony, to a proper alignment, or they unblock a clog in the field or transfer life energy from healer to patient. This restoration of integrity to the field make it possible for the body to heal itself.
