Course Description:

Healing Touch is a relaxing, nurturing, heart-centered, biofield (energy) therapy. Gentle, intentional touch assists in balancing physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being. Healing Touch assists in creating a coherent and balanced energy field, supporting one’s inherent ability to heal. It is safe for all ages and works in harmony with and may be integrated with standard medical care.
The theoretical concepts that underlie holistic healthcare practices are explored along with how these concepts relate to the core values which guide the practice of Healing Touch. Healing Touch techniques used in the etheric field are acquired along with an understanding of how these techniques interface with the human biofield. During this course, participants will explore qualities and self-care needs of a Healing Touch Practitioner, demonstrate healing presence, describe personal perceptions of subtle energy and heart-centeredness, apply the Framework for a Healing Touch session to a variety of energy interventions, evaluate the seven energy centers and related energy layers that surround the body, describe rationale for use of specific Healing Touch techniques, discuss the facets of Healing Touch and correlate techniques that support physical, mental, emotional, and/or spiritual healing, and discuss the ethical practice of Healing Touch.
