Therapeutic Touch (TT) is a form of complementary care that is based on the idea that humans consist of not only body, mind and soul, but also energy, and that this energy is out of balance in the event of complaints and illness. With TT, I use my hands, according to a fixed method, to try to bring your energy field into better balance, so that the energy can flow freely and symmetrically again.
Principles of the therapeutic touch method:
- We consist of soul and energy with a body and mind
- We are an open system, and therefore also an open energy system
- We are therefore in constant connection with our environment and exchanges with that environment
- In a healthy state, energy flows freely and symmetrically in and around the body
- In the case of complaints and illness (fragmentation), the energy flow is disturbed and out of balance
- As with other disturbances, for example on a physical level, interventions can be used to restore the balance
- This is possible because we have a self-healing capacity, the natural tendency to be as 'whole' (healthy) as possible
- In the case of TT, the intervention consists of a combination of intention and specific hand movements
This energy field is an assumed energy field. To date, it has not yet been scientifically proven. However, the assumption that it exists does correspond with some traditional healing methods. Learn more here.
