Healing Touch and Heart DiseaseI happened to catch Gray’s Anatomy last week. I’m intrigued by the characters and fascinated by the patient’s stories. What caught my attention last week was the patient who came into the hospital with a dissected artery. The doctors told her if she didn’t have surgery immediately, she’d die. The woman kept putting off the doctors, wanting to wait for her fellow Healing Touch practitioners. She believed that the alternative method would heal her without the need to go under the knife. While I’m not suggesting we throw out Western medicine, I was happy to see alternative medicine getting more attention.While I am a true believer in Western medicine, I also believe in the power of energy healing. I experienced it myself when I had foot surgery about a year ago. I had two sessions, one before and one after the surgery. The results were that I was more relaxed going into the operating room and according to my doctor, I healed faster that his other patients. Around the same time, I attended several talks and workshops on Healing Touch and even received my Level I certification. I practiced healing touch on my own foot after the surgery as well.Here are a few articles I found on the internet that you might be interested in reading.Here’s a good article that explains what healing touch is all about.Healing Touch with Mary Somano And if you are a bit skeptical of what Western Medicine thinks of healing touch and alternative medicine, here’s a good article from the Harvard Medical School.Healing Touch TherapyIf you’re interested in learning more about healing touch or to find a practitioner in your area, check outHealing Touch International
