What happens during a Healing Touch session?

Healing Touch uses a warm and gentle flow of energy from the healer's hands to stimulate the energy flow within a client's body. This palpable yet subtle current -- which the Chinese call chi -- provides energy that can jump-start the body's spontaneous healing response.  

Healing Touch is like a tune-up for the body's energy system:  it stimulates the immune system, reduces pain and inflammation, and speeds the healing process.  Just as a musical instrument needs tuning as it is played, our body needs to be periodically re-calibrated in order to function at its best.  Most of us don't wait until our car breaks down before we take it in for maintenance:  yet when it comes to our own bodies, we tend not to pay much  attention until we become ill or injured.

There is an optimal rhythm to our heartbeat, our breath, our hormonal cycle, and our sleep cycle:  we know instinctively when everything is in tune and we are in "the zone."  Healing Touch works to restore this coherence, so our body, mind and spirit can resonate as one:  we absolutely know it when we get there. 

During a Healing Touch session, the practitioner taps into a slower, more organized rhythm, thought to correspond to the earth's magnetic field.  Working from this more coherent place, the practitioner can identify and then clear areas which are blocked or disorganized in the client's energy field.  These "blocked" areas may feel painful, constricted, or tense to the client:  they may be places which were previously injured, operated on, or otherwise traumatized.  As the session proceeds and the client absorbs more of the healing energy, their breath often deepens and slows down; their neck or shoulder muscles relax; their eyes soften; their jaw or fists unclench; and they feel deeply relaxed and peaceful.

Healing Touch can help with issues such as:  asthma; allergies; anxiety; back pain; chronic pain; eczema; fibromyalgia; faster healing of injured muscles and bones; GI problems; neck and shoulder pain; pre- and post-surgical recovery; and more. This gentle work is also very effective in dealing with depression, grief and other emotional challenges.

Over time, as the client's energy field strengthens becomes more coherent, the body begins to unwind and adjust to a less constricted state.  This is when symptoms -- and even syndromes -- begin to improve noticeably.  Some clients note that long-standing breathing difficulties, panic attacks or pain has disappeared.  Others report that their bodies and minds feel lighter, as though a weight has lifted.  Often there is a sense of spaciousness and possibility that hadn't existed before.

Each person experiences Healing Touch in a unique way.  The sensation of receiving Healing Touch energy is "is like being suffused by warm, liquid gold," one client said.  A woman suffering from asthma said, "I feel my lungs spreading out like wings under my shoulder blades.  It feels so good to be able to breathe again!"  Another said, "I feel as though the sun just came up in my body.  I am glowing, from the inside out."
