Healing Touch and Back Pain

Providing Healing Touch to clients with mild to severe back pain requires the practitioner to be very gentle and intentional. As a practitioner I always ask God or the Universal Energy Source for the highest good of the person I am about to work on as well as my own highest good. Generally speaking, if the person is able to lie on their back a Chakra Connection is a good technique to begin with after the initial assessment of the energy field. Then depending on how mild or severe the back pain the practitioner can have the person lie on their side or on their stomach. The back is then assessed using the hands or a pendulum.

Let's say for sake of an example the client has pain in the central part of the back and the practitioner's assessment shows the congestion is indeed there. Starting with placing one hand on the top part of the spinal column and the other at the base near the lower back, energy is sent between the hands balancing the flow. As a back client myself I can say that this feels very good as the warmth from the practitioners hands opens up the spinal flow. From there vertebral spirals on both sides of the spinal column release any energy congestion that may have accumulated. Then, if necessary, a technique called the "Hopi" is provided adding additional healing.

Bending the wrong way, or lifting heavy items can place stress on the back. Many folks love to have their back "worked on" including myself. Healing Touch may help to keep the back in good condition. It works well with traditional western medicine. For those times in between doctor visits or Healing Touch may be the exact modality that helps keep the body, mind and spirit well!
