Healing touch
Healing touch, originally uploaded by FasterDix.
In the early 1970�s, Dolores Krieger, Ph.D., R.N. developed and promoted the new discipline of therapeutic touch (TT). TT practitioners believe that the human body possesses a �human energy field� (HEF) which extends beyond the skin surface, and that illness is associated with (perhaps even caused by) blockages in the flow of the HEF, or knots of tense energy, or diminished strength of the HEF. Further, practitioners believe that they can sense the HEF, and by moving their hands over the body�s surface, they can smooth out the fields of energy, supporting its strength, and thereby promoting self-healing.
