WELCOME MISSION STATEMENT To facilitate healing by promoting the flow of energy through the body, allowing for stress reduction, relaxation, and a sense of well-being. WHAT IS HEALING? There are many definitions of healing. “The act or process of regaining health” is one of Webster’s definitions. The renowned nursing theorist Martha Rogers views healing as “a movement toward harmony of the human and his environment to ever more evolved patterns of integration.” Basically, healing is taking place when a person is able to move from a condition of physical and/or emotional imbalance toward the highest functional level possible. It is a harmonious evolution toward an increasing sense of physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. HEALING TECHNIQUES The practice of laying hands on a human for the purpose of healing has been done since the beginning. This ancient practice is the basis of modern touch healing techniques such as Therapeutic Touch, Healing Touch, and Reiki. Healing Hands Alternative Therapy blends the techniques of Therapeutic Touch and Reiki with Crystal Therapy, Essential Oils, and American Indian techniques. These techniques can promote relaxation, enhancing the body’s natural restorative processes. Touch healing techniques have also helped clients to experience a reduction in pain and anxiety. HOW DO THESE TECHNIQUES WORK? The living body radiates warmth and energy. This energy comes from the Universal Life Force Energy. The practitioner of touch healing techniques becomes a channel for the Universal Healing Energy. By aligning her/his energy and intention with the unlimited supply of Universal Energy, the practitioner can assist clients in their personal evolution toward wholeness. The American Indian would say that the practitioner brings the energy of the living earth and sky into herself/himself, and sends it out from the heart. After working with inner awareness and focus to become centered, the practitioner assesses the client by scanning the body with her/his hands. The client’s energy field is then unruffled, or cleared, in order to re-establish a more balanced flow of energy. The hands are then placed on the client – either at each of the body’s energy centers, or directly on the area that has an energy disturbance or pain. Along with the techniques of Therapeutic Touch and Reiki, you8r session may include the use of stones and crystals, as well as essential oils. Some American Indian techniques may also be incorporated. Treatments usually last for 60-90 minutes PREPARATION Allow at least 90 minutes for the session. Wear loose, comfortable clothing. Try to keep the remainder of your day open, as you will feel very relaxed after the treatment. It is also important to drink lots of water after the treatment. CREDENTIALS Carol J. Morris RN, MSN 30 years of nursing experience; over 28 years as a Registered Nurse Facilitator for numerous workshops over the past two decades on subjects pertinent to nursing, healing, and public health Nursing instructor for over 8 years at a local community college Certified Reiki practitioner – trained by Reiki Master Teachers Penny Harrington & Vickie Freer with the Central Coast Healing Alliance Studied Therapeutic Touch under Barbara Janelle (BSc, M.A. and NHPAI and TTNO recognized teacher), who teaches the Dolores Kreiger and Dora Kunz methods of Therapeutic Touch. WHO ARE MY CLIENTS? Any person of any age can benefit from the healing touch modalities. And some of my clients are animals. This technique will work on not only people and animals, but also plants, and anything that is alive. WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM THIS? Anyone can benefit from the healing touch modalities. Any problems can be treated, and even if there are no particular problems, there is still a sense of well-being and relaxation that takes place after a treatment. It is particularly good for people with pain or any chronic problem, people with cancer, people receiving chemotherapy or radiation, people with injuries, broken bones, people who are having, or have had surgery. Therapy is good for anyone with physical, emotional, or spiritual challenges. Healing touch techniques can be used in conjunction with traditional Western Medicine techniques, and are often complimentary to those techniques. For example, I would not recommend getting Therapeutic Touch or Reiki therapy alone for a broken arm or leg. I would recommend going to a medical doctor for treatment. However, Therapeutic Touch or Reiki can help reduce the pain, and facilitate faster healing. IS IT COVERED BY MY HEALTH INSURANCE? No. Not at this time. Perhaps it will be in the future. DISCLAIMER I am not a physician, and I make no claims of curing any disease process. The treatments provided by me are alternative and may be complimentary to the healing arts licensed by the state. The theory behind these treatments is that the body develops blockages in its energy field and disease or imbalance is the result. These treatments are designed to eliminate those blockages so that energy can flow more freely through the body.
