Accepting Your Power to Heal

Therapeutic Touch involves using your hands to heal all living beings by "consciously directing or sensitively modulating human energies." It doesn't require physical contact. Therapeutic Touch is based on several principles, two of which are "illness is an imbalance in an individual's energy field" and "human beings have natural abilities to transform and transcend their conditions of living." Therapeutic Touch was developed and refined by Dr. Dolores Krieger and Dora Kunz, based on their studies of ancient healing practices. They've since taught the procedure to thousands of health care practitioners and laypersons. Dr. Krieger's book, Accepting Your Power to Heal: The Personal Practice of Therapeutic Touch, teaches readers how help themselves and their loved ones with Therapeutic Touch. The process involves "centering" yourself, then becoming sensitive to the energy fields all living beings have. Therapeutic Touch can be used to help people relax, to reduce pain, and accelerate healing. Dr. Krieger provides numerous examples of benefits, including relief from the pain of cancer, headaches, burns, and fractured bones. Therapeutic Touch is also helpful to pregnant women and people suffering from chronic conditions like asthma. Some people have also used it to help their pets, while others have used it in their gardens. Accepting Your Power to Heal has been on the book stands for several years. The method outlined in it has been proven time and again to be beneficial to people suffering from various illnesses, including AIDS. Readers "who are committed to helping or healing persons in need" will find it to be an invaluable resource.
