Therapeutic Touch and Healing Meditation

The ancient art of laying on of hands has been used throughout the history of humankind. Almost every known culture of the present world, as well as a great many of the unearthed cultures of generations past, have practiced some form of healing through touch, magnetism, or visualization with meditation and/or substance stimulant. Modern medical therapeutic touch represents a meeting of science and spirit, seeking to legitimize intuitive human beliefs and instincts, through a new discipline, called psychoneuroimmunology, and age-old nursing practices renovating deep-rooted customs. Therapeutic touch is not limited to the medical or occult practitioners, however, but can enrich the lives of teachers, parents, relatives, your everyday person. The esoteric becomes practical when the principles are digested, and the person using it learns how to ‘center,’ ‘balance,’ and exude positive magnetic energy, blocking negative concepts. As old as the Bible, as new as modern technology, healing visualization and therapeutic touch combine to educate each interested human being to develop his or her infinite capacity
