"I received some Healing Touch, and was able to release that breath-holding, and it did wonders for my anxiety."
Oh my Gosh! Hoosier,
You said just what I needed to hear. Can you please tell me more about "Healing Touch." Is there a Web site? Is it a form of massage? I would love to do it/have it/know about it, if you happen to check back in on me.
Again, thanks for stopping by.
Peace! poet
Thank you for posting to my thread.
Hi, Poet--
Busy day today, sorry it took me so long to answer your questions. Healing Touch is an energy modality with many similarities to reiki (ray-kee), which is often more common depending upon your area. Chances are good that your massage therapist is familiar with reiki or may even be a practitioner. Here's a link to an article in USA Today about HT: http://www.usatoday.com/news/health/2007-11-04-healing-touch_N.htm You could also google "healing touch." There are two different overseeing bodies, I think they just divided up in the past few months, but I don't think there are any significant differences. Their websites will list practitioners in your area--altho there are probably many more than are listed. Healing touch is very relaxing, but it has emotional and spiritual healing components as well--so it's really excellent for someone going through what we're all experiencing. If you can manage it, do massages as well as healing touch rather than one or the other, because they are both wonderful.
