There is written documentation from early Egyptian and Chinese healers about the efficacy of healing using touch at all levels of the human energy field. In the early part of of this century, we learned from Einstein that everything is energy and that energy and matter are actually interchangeable. All of life is really interdependent, with our collective energy fields touching each other constantly.
Therapeutic touch involves touching the energy field that suffuses and surrounds our bodies.
Clients who receive Therapeutic Touch always report that they feel relaxed, often experience pain relief, and sometimes undergo spontaneous healing. They hypothesized that people could be taught to do what up until this time had been considered a girt that only a people possessed. Their theory was correct, and thousands of health care professionals and lay people have been taught this valuable and simple technique since that time. This is true in all healing, including drugs and surgery. In Therapeutic Touch, however, this truth has been more readily acknowledged.
