Accepting Your Power to Heal: The Personal Practice of Therapeutic Touch

I am a massage therapist and I bought this book thinking it would be slightly different than it is... I was thinking it would be about bodywork in general - therapeutic touch in the sense of massage, chiropractic, structural work, etc.However, it is more about the 'laying of hands' or just simply energy work - no touch involved. I think this book would be well suited for someone doing Reiki or some other energy work.I did read it, though, and I can say I really enjoyed it and learned quite a few things that I can incorporate into my massage practice- and will.

An outstanding resource for practicing health care providers looking to contribute the extra mile in the care of their respective patients.

Dr Krieger so eloquently describes this therapy and guides one into a deeper understanding of Therapuetic Touch (TT). One will want to find a true TT teacher and learn this helpful and healing therpy.

It's a nice book and easy to read. However for me, I found it to be a bit "lightweight' and was looking for a bit more information.

Just what I was looking for. It tells the history and how to.

Sorry for this low rating, but I got more in depth knowledge of learning to heal from "Your hands can heal you"

Great book--it makes one realize the power we have in our hands to heal others.

Practice T.T

I am glad I bought this, because it is unintentionally hilarious. I read it out of open-mindedness, but the whole 'healing touch' thing has long been de-bunked (e.g. Emily Rosa experiment, psychological explanations, common sense). It's great that nice, well-meaning people have come up with ways of helping the body to relax (which will naturally aid healing and promote general wellbeing) . . . but to claim this is due to some sort of magical energy field is just fairy-tale thinking.

This book explains things very well and is very informative. If you want to learn TT this book is a must have in your library.
