Healing Touch is a biofield (the magnetic field around the body) therapy that is an energy-based approach to health and healing. Healing Touch uses touch to influence the human energy system, specifically the energy field that surrounds the body, and the energy centers that control the energy flow from the energy field to the physical body. These non-invasive techniques utilize the hands to clear, energize, and balance the human and environmental energy fields, thus affecting physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health and healing. It is based on a heart centered caring relationship in which the practitioner and client come together energetically to facilitate the client's health and healing. The goal of Healing Touch is to restore balance and harmony in the energy system placing the client in a position to self heal.
What do the experts say about Healing Touch? 
Healing Touch Research Healing Touch Research has been conducted in a wide variety of settings and with a number of different problems and situations including:
However, while the exact physics mechanisms can not be definitively described at this time, the cumulative results of numerous related studies on energy medicine and consciousness indicate strong support that "something is happening" and that recipients respond positively to energy therapies such as Healing Touch. Over the years, researchers have developed ways to measure the energy field. Theoretically, by correcting any defects in the energy field, energy healing may facilitate healing of the body, mind and spirit. Energy therapies focus on removing energy congestion that form in our energy fields (aura) and energy centers (chakras). Once these imbalances and disturbances are cleared, the energy channels resume their task of integrating the body, mind and soul to restore health and/or promote healing. It may also help prevent future issues by restoring balance to energy field disturbances, which could later result in illness if left unbalanced. To gain a deeper understanding of the science supporting energy healing, please refer to the many books, journal articles and research findings written on this subject. Scientific evidence does exist that supports the premise that energy healing is effective. However, an experience is worth a thousand words, so the receiving of a Healing Touch treatment can do more to understand this phenomena than all the writings in the world.
What to Expect from a Healing Touch Treatment Healing Touch is a gentle, biofield (energy field) therapy that often facilitates a deep sense of calm and relaxation in the Body-mind-spirit. The treatment is typically administered while the client lies on a massage table with their clothes on. With your permission, the practitioner uses his/her hands to assess your biofield and proceeds to clear and balance it as needed using either off body touch (near body but no direct contact) or a gentle (still) touch over various areas of the body. Occasionally, a person may experience an acceleration of the healing process and his/her symptoms may intensify for a brief time. When this happens, the recovery period of the illness is usually shortened.
Who can practice Healing Touch? Healing Touch courses are open to all nurses, massage therapists, body therapists, counselors, psychotherapists, physicians other allied health care professionals as well as individuals who desire an in-depth understanding and practice of healing work using energy based concepts and principles. Janet Mentgen, the Founder of Healing Touch, believed that anyone could learn how to facilitate healing in others. As she observed thousands of students doing Healing Touch, she noticed that there was no difference in the outcomes of well prepared non-nurses to those of well prepared nurses. Janet believed that anyone with a compassionate heart and a desire to be of service to others could become a practitioner of energy healing. All that was needed was a commitment to learn and to grow.
