The technique was devised a few decades ago as a contemporary
version of various ancient practices in which a healer consciously
directs and focuses energy to the receiver to balance and
unblock negative energy flow. The practitioner’s hands
move in slow rhythmic, motions two to six inches above the
animal (or human) in an effort to detect blockages in the
body’s energy field that may cause or contribute to
illness. Delores Krieger, Ph.D., R.N., and Dor Kunz, clairvoyant
and gifted healer developed therapeutic Touch This laying-on
of hands therapeutic technique, in the 1970s in the United
States. Used extensively by registered nurses in hospitals
to nurture premature babies and to increase the recovery
of some patients, including in the emergency room.
Gentle and non-invasive,
it works on and above the body. Using a meditative process,
Therapeutic Touch disperses blocked energy and allows the
practitioner to channel healing energy to the client. The
receiver may be sitting or lying down and may be conscious
or unconscious during the treatment. The receiver ultimately
heals herself. The practitioner's role is only to give of
her own energy reserves in order to boost the healing process
in the receiver.
