Since 1972, Dolores Krieger has taught Therapeutic Touch to thousands of health professionals around the world. In Accepting Your Power to Heal, she now shows all of us how to master this powerful energetic healing practice.

She encourages us to acknowledge our own innate healing abilities and provides experiential exercises to teach us the basic Therapeutic Touch techniques. The miracle, if there is one, is that we can all participate in the healing process and help our friends, partners, families, and even pets to feel better.

Accepting Your Power to Heal,
By Cassandra Barnes "Cassandra" (California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Accepting Your Power to Heal: The Personal Practice of Therapeutic Touch (Paperback)
Therapeutic Touch involves using your hands to heal all living beings by "consciously directing or sensitively modulating human energies." It doesn't require physical contact. Therapeutic Touch is based on several principles, two of which are "illness is an imbalance in an individual's energy field" and "human beings have natural abilities to transform and transcend their conditions of living."Therapeutic Touch was developed and refined by Dr. Dolores Krieger and Dora Kunz, based on their studies of ancient healing practices. They've since taught the procedure to thousands of health care practitioners and laypersons. Dr. Krieger's book, Accepting Your Power to Heal: The Personal Practice of Therapeutic Touch, teaches readers how help themselves and their loved ones with Therapeutic Touch. The process involves "centering" yourself, then becoming sensitive to the energy fields all living beings have. Therapeutic Touch can be used to help people relax, to reduce pain, and accelerate healing. Dr. Krieger provides numerous examples of benefits, including relief from the pain of cancer, headaches, burns, and fractured bones. Therapeutic Touch is also helpful to pregnant women and people suffering from chronic conditions like asthma. Some people have also used it to help their pets, while others have used it in their gardens. Accepting Your Power to Heal has been on the book stands for several years. The method outlined in it has been proven time and again to be beneficial to people suffering from various illnesses, including AIDS. Readers "who are committed to helping or healing persons in need" will find it to be an invaluable resource.

A Lovely Read,
By Christina (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Accepting Your Power to Heal: The Personal Practice of Therapeutic Touch (Paperback)
I am a massage therapist and I bought this book thinking it would be slightly different than it is... I was thinking it would be about bodywork in general - therapeutic touch in the sense of massage, chiropractic, structural work, etc.
However, it is more about the 'laying of hands' or just simply energy work - no touch involved. I think this book would be well suited for someone doing Reiki or some other energy work. I did read it, though, and I can say I really enjoyed it and learned quite a few things that I can incorporate into my massage practice- and will.
