Healing Touch
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Healing Touch is a holistic energy therapy that encompases a group of non-invasive techniques that utilize the hands to clear, energize, and balance the human and environmental energy fields. With some similarities to Reiki, Healing Touch offers more techniques for physical, emotional and spiritual balancing. The treatment emphasizes compassionate, heart-centered care in which the Healing Touch provider and client are equal partners in facilitating health and healing. The therapy uses a variety of techniques to repattern and align the biofield, allowing the innate healing process to occur. Healing touch is an energy-based, therapeutic approach to healing and uses touch to influence the energy system thus affecting physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health.
Healing Touch providers use gentle, non-invasive touch to influence and support the human energy system within and surrounding the body. The goal of Healing Touch is to restore harmony, energy and balance within the human energy system. This goal supports the client's self-healing process of becoming whole in body, mind, emotion and spirit.
Healing Touch complements conventional health care and is also used in collaboration with other approaches to health and healing.
Healing touch is also a technique used in the game Trauma Center: Under the Knife. Using it has various effects depending on the practitioner, including slowing/stopping time, and stabilizing the patient.
