Healing Touch
Healing Touch is a gentle, complementary energy therapy that emerged from the nursing field in the late 1980s. It's based on the premise that humans are fields of energy, and that physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health can be supported by balancing and clearing these energy fields.
Key Aspects of Healing Touch
Healing Touch aims to restore balance and harmony in the energy system, thereby supporting the body's inherent ability to heal itself.
Energy-Based: Practitioners sense and influence a person's "biofield" or energy field, which surrounds and permeates the body.
Gentle or No Touch: Techniques involve either very light touch on the body or hands held slightly above the body, often with sweeping or specific hand placements.
Holistic Focus: It aims to support the whole person, addressing imbalances in the energy system that may contribute to physical symptoms, emotional distress, or spiritual disharmony.
Complementary: Healing Touch is designed to work with conventional medical care and other holistic healing methods, not as a replacement for them. It's often used in hospitals, hospices, and private practices.
Intentionality: The practitioner works from a heart-centred, grounded place, with the intention to facilitate the client's self-healing process.
Benefits: Benefits include:
Deep relaxation and stress reduction
Decreased anxiety and depression
Pain management
Improved sleep quality
Strengthening the immune system
Enhanced recovery from surgery
Deepening spiritual connection
Reiki
Reiki is a Japanese energy healing technique that promotes stress reduction, relaxation, and overall well-being. The word "Reiki" itself comes from two Japanese words: "Rei," meaning universal or spiritual, and "Ki," meaning life force energy.
Key Aspects of Reiki
Core Concept: Reiki is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low or blocked, we are more likely to get sick or feel stress. When this energy is high and flowing freely, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.
How it's Practiced: During a Reiki session, the client lies fully clothed on a massage table or sits comfortably. The practitioner places their hands lightly on or just above specific areas of the client's head, limbs, and torso. Through these hand positions, the practitioner acts as a conduit, channeling universal life force energy into the client. The energy flows to where it's needed most, helping to clear blockages, restore balance, and promote the body's natural healing processes. A session usually lasts 60 minutes.
Benefits of Reiki: Reported benefits include:
Deep relaxation and stress reduction
Reduced anxiety and depression
Pain relief
Improved sleep quality
Enhanced emotional balance
Increased sense of well-being and inner peace
Support for the body's natural healing processes
Anointing with Sacred Oils
I incorporate Sacred Oils like Myrrh, Frankincense, and Spikenard into my anointing practices. These oils, recognized for centuries across various spiritual traditions, are not merely fragrances but potent tools for energetic and spiritual alchemy.
In my sessions, I use these oils with sacred intention to:
Provide comfort and a sense of blessing: Especially for those navigating grief, illness, or the end of life.
Support your journey: Helping to clear energetic imprints, release emotional wounds, and foster a deeper connection to your inner self.
Create a sacred atmosphere: Enhancing relaxation and allowing for a profound sense of peace and spiritual grounding.
In the tradition of the Myrrhophore, I offer this anointing as a way to honour your spirit, support your path, and provide a gentle, sacred space for healing and transformation.
