A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of being part of a Therapeutic Touch™ class. Since this particular modality is one I will have to further explore through my creative harp studies, when the opportunity presented itself, I said yes. And I could not have asked for a better teacher, Mary Simpson your amazing!
Therapeutic Touch was developed by Delores Krieger, PhD., R.N., and Dora Kunz (her mentor) in the early 1970′s as a modality where the practitioner uses the hands as a focus to facilitate the healing process. This brilliant work is about energy and re-patterning energy flow, toward wholeness and health.
I was surprised to learn Therapeutic Thouch was so widely used in a variety of fields, by health professionals, holistic practitioners, therapists, councillors, clergy, even educators. After going through Level I training, I can certainly understand why.
The best nugget of information I received was learning the Therapeutic Touch Network of Ontario has a governing body setting standards, policies and guideline’s for teachers. To have recognized the need for and aligning a governing body, is a great achievement.
How can Therapeutic Touch help you? The benefits are being able to “elicit the Relaxation Response, reduce pain and anxiety and promote the healing of wounds and fractures”. And so much more.

I was, and still am, in awe of Lindy’s generosity. I had no idea the gift was coming and couldn’t be happier to be one of the recipients. Included in the package was a book called, “A Little Bird Told Me.” Lindy created the book’s illustrations and they are stunning! Thank you Lindy for sharing your gifts and talents.
So much to do…and as we settle into 2012 these are just a few projects keeping me engaged and all of us connected.
