Healing Touch Presentations Class

This past Saturday, February 7th, I coordinated the Healing Touch Presentations Class at the Blue Ash Hospice Community Room in Cincinnati. We brought in Lauri Pointer from the Healing Touch Headquarters in Arvada, CO. She did an excellent job of delivering all the ideas, research and methods in which to present Healing Touch to groups and individuals in and around this wonderful city. Many of us purchased the power point presentation and video, "Introduction to Healing Touch," to use in our talks. The class was very experiential but Lauri also gave us the research data which supports the benefits of Healing Touch. Personally I appreciate the research but I really love the fact that Healing Touch works! I've seen it again and again as I've written in this blog. It helps with pain management, stress reduction, relaxation, accelerates healing after surgery among other benefits. The founder of Healing Touch, Janet Mentgen, had a dream to have a "healer" in every home. Anyone can learn how to do healing touch. It's like learning a new skill and takes practice but it is well worth the effort. With the current economic and health insurance crisis Janet's dream brings home the fact that we as a country can help ourselves and not lean so much on pharmaceuticals. Yes, we need our emergency rooms, our ICU's and our surgical units. But it has been stated that the hospital of the future will not have room for the sick. Why not start now with wellness by learning this wonderful complementary modality? Or seek out a Healing Touch practitioner in your area? For information go to www.healingtouchprogram.com.
