Healing Touch

Energy healing is ancient. The Chinese may have pioneered it 5000 years ago. Carvings from the Egyptian 3rd dynasty show healing energy. Perhaps the first laying-on of hands was even earlier.

Healing touch is a form of energy work that seems to begin by realigning the insides of the body the way yoga begins by realigning the outside. Developed by registered nurses who noticed the therapeutic benefits of touch with their patients and then organized them into a system, healing touch is very powerful and yet totally safe.

We are made up of energy—atoms and molecules. Energy fields and lines form the basis and worksites of several healing and movement modalities. They all share the belief that if the body's energy is balanced and flowing, then there is health and happiness.

Healing touch is a bio-field therapy. It is described as being similar to acupuncture without the needles. The healing touch practitioner facilitates the healing process by clearing and balancing the bio-electromagnetic field surrounding the body. The belief is that all healing is self-healing, and that the balancing of energy helps the body achieve the highest ability to heal itself.

Our healing touch sessions last an hour. After the initial assessment, a practitioner places the  hands on [or a few inches above] the client, who lies on a massage table and remains clothed.  Various touch progresions, patterns, and techniques are then used, depending on your energetic needs. You may fall asleep or sink into deep peace.

Clients describe the  experience as relaxing, with a sense of warmth around them.

You can experience this modality at our workspace—and if you want, we can teach you how to use manty of the techniques on yourself and your friends and family.
