This article was originally posted on Flor’s blog. It is a great way to introduce Healing Touch to others.

Here are 10 reasons why you should consider Healing Touch as part of your wellness routine.

Healing Touch can:

1. Promote wellness and healing at all levels: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.

2. Relieve stress, tension and anxiety. Healing Touch is very effective in relieving stress because of its capacity to “turn on” the relaxation response. This is a deep state of relaxation of body and mind where neither of them is over-active.

 

3. Trigger the body’s inner repairing mechanisms. Our body knows how to heal and repair itself. During a Healing Touch session, the brain releases neurochemicals that counteract the fight or flight response caused by stress. These trigger a chain reaction of beneficial physiological changes that promote body repair and healing, putting the body in the best possible position to heal itself.

4. Reset our “inner computer” so we can feel well again. Healing Touch is based on the premise that we have a subtle energy system whose balance is closely linked with health and well-being. Healing Touch techniques are able to restore a proper energy flow to make us feel emotionally, mentally and physically well. “I hadn’t rested so well for a long time” or “I feel like a new person” are very common comments from clients after a session.

5. Help us connect with that quiet center within and open up to new insights and ideas. Healing Touch can bring a deep sense of calm and inner peace. A healing Touch session provides the time and the space for you to let go of worries and cares and feel calm, grounded and centered. This can open our mind to new insights and ideas, either during the session itself or the days that follow.

6. Offer specific techniques to deal with specific problems. Healing Touch stands out in the field of Energy Healing for its collection of techniques (over 35) designed to bring general balance and healing to both body and mind, or to target specific issues, bodily functions and organs. Some examples are: back and skeletal issues; lymphatic, nervous or immune system imbalances; headaches, lack of focus and concentration; general cleansing and detoxing; dealing with trauma, anxiety, stress and depression; assisting the body while undergoing medical treatments, like chemotherapy or radiotherapy, and pre and post-surgery.
