Therapeutic Touch has been taught to tens of thousands of health professionals and is available at hundreds of hospitals and teaching centers worldwide. It is a healing modality that has eased the discomforts of broken bones, surgery, and disease, and even saved the lives of newborns. Now, for the first time, one of its co-founders reveals the true nature of the healer-client relationship, and what occurs during the healing process.

Based on Dolores Krieger’s brilliant career as a registered nurse, researcher, and professor, the exercises and teachings in this book will forever change our understanding of the healing arts. Learn how centering yourself and focusing your attention are at the core of all healing interventions. Learn how energy works as a force in our bodies, and how a healer properly connects with a person seeking healing. And in the process learn the answer to an essential question, Why do I want to be a healer?

From Booklist

Krieger, a key developer of Therapeutic Touch, has seen that alternative-medicine technique practiced in clinics and hospitals throughout the world. She recaps the basics of the method: the concept (borrowed from Eastern therapies) of the body's chakras as centers of human consciousness and the concept of Therapeutic Touch as an alternative form of intelligence--these buttressed by the notion that individuals' sensitivities to the higher orders of their inner selves empower them to become healers. In true workbook fashion, hers proffers exercises called "explorations," complete with lists of needed materials (usually no more than pencil and paper). A few illustrations help familiarize readers with Krieger's overall mind-body-spirit concept, and end material includes lists of health facilities in which Therapeutic Touch is practiced and schools at which it is taught.

This review is from: Therapeutic Touch Inner Workbook (Paperback)

I have read several of these books on healing touch and this is one of the best. It is easy to understand, has very good descriptions and also gives locations where this is taught around the country. I had reserved this book thru the library but have since purchased it for my library.
