| Therapeautic Touch Therapy Therapeautic touch therapy is based on the assumption that a "human energy feild" extends beyong the skin. This was invented by Dr. Dolores Krieger and is sometimes reffered to as TT or TTherapy. Practioners believe that the human energy feild is abundant in normal circumstances but is disarranged and depleated by illness or injurty. Practioners rearrange these energy fields. The practice of TT is done through moving one's hands over the patient's energy fields directing flow of "chi" or "prana" so the patient can heal. Energy healers rearrange the aura by massaging the air a few inches above the patients body; what this is doing it massaging the aura. They also transfer some of their life energy into that of the patient. There is no scientific basis for TT. I was created by nurse and theosophist Delores Krieger, Ph. D., R.N,, and a faculty memeber of New York University's Division of Nursing in the early 1970s. She wrote Therapeutic Touch: How to Use Your Hands to Help and to Heal in 1979 and other books throughout. She believet hat the palms are chakras and can channel healing energy. A similar belife is common among many anicent Native Traditions. Most pracitioners of TT are nurses and many other alternative healers and laypersons practice. There are seminars, classes, videos, and many books written on the subject. Practioners admit there is no current scientific proof that TT works however it based on quantum physics. |
