Welcome to the blog on Heart Centered Health Care a part of Mind Body and Soul Holistic Health. In this blog I hope to educate others about energy medicine and how it works with traditional medicine. For those who have not been exposed to energy medicine there is a lot of research behind it.
If one stops to think humans are energy beings. We have a nervous system that is essentially the “motherboard” in our bodies. Our heart runs on energy, remember those paddles when someone’s heart stops and needs to be restarted? We know the heart can live a short time outside the body, cardiac cells will beat in a petri dish. Our brain uses energy so why would using energy not work in health care alongside traditional medications.
Healing Touch and Reiki are both modalities that interact with the energy field and both have been studies. Yes, there are sites and studies that will say it does not work or is bogus but there are many more that show that it does.
So, what is Healing Touch? From the Healing touch Program website (2020), “Our overall health and quality of life are affected by our energy systems. In Healing Touch therapy, practitioners use their hands to help restore balance and harmony through working with the human energy field or life force.
Healing Touch practitioners clear, balance and energize the client’s energy field, thereby placing the client in a position to initiate or accelerate the self-healing process.
Through heart-centered intention and skill, practitioners use their hands to re-establish the natural flow of energy. Healing Touch practitioners do not force or push energy but allow balance and harmony to “reboot” the energy system”.
Healing Touch is often learned by nurses as it was founded by a nurse and uses techniques that help to heal (not cure) one’s energy fields including the aura.
What is an aura anyway. There are many descriptions of auras, people who say they can see them and those who have measured them. I think the easiest way to describe it is as a person’s “personal space”. Someone comes too close and makes one feel uncomfortable, they are invading the personal space. Feel spacy? Maybe the aura has absorbed another person’s energy. A Healing Touch practitioner can help to balance the aura.
In my next blog I will discuss the differences and sameness of Healing Touch and Reiki.
