(Often referred to as Therapeutic Touch, Polarity Therapy, Reiki, among others) It is based on the principle that the human energy field extends beyond the skin and the practitioner can use the hands as sensors to locate problems in the physical body. Disease is seen as a condition of energy imbalance or blocked energy flow. Assessment is done by placing the hands over the body about 2-4 inches above the surface. The practitioner then serves as a conduit for universal energy, consciously and actively transferring energy into the recipient thus encouraging a return to balanced physical/emotional/spiritual health. Therapeutic Touch is currently taught in over eighty universities and thirty countries and is practiced by twenty to thirty thousand health care professionals in the United States and around the world.
