HEALING TOUCH

Healing Touch is an energy-based technique to balance and align the human energy field. Body, mind and spirit are touched through this therapeutic process. It works with the energy of the body to induce deep relaxation and to promote self-healing. Each individual is empowered to participate fully in his or her own healing journey. It is gentle, non-invasive for people of all ages with a variety of health concerns. Healing Touch is not a substitute for conventional medical approaches.

What happens at a Healing Touch session?

First you meet with the Healing Touch practitioners (we work in pairs). This is a time for you to explain your health concerns. You remain fully clothed and either sit in a chair or lie on a massage table. You will name your wishes for healing and the practitioners will name their role as channels of God's love.

The practitioners will gently move their hands around the body. A light touch may be used if you are comfortable with being touched. During the session you may simply relax, ask quesitons, and/or share feelings that you are experiencing.

You are 'in charge' of the session. At any time you can ask that it be interrupted or stopped.

A session usually lasts for 30-45 minutes. At the end of the session you are free to ask questions or reflect on your experience. All sessions are held in strict confidence. Following a session it is recommended that you drink several glasses of water and rest.

Healing Touch sessions are held twice a month. One session is for the practitioners only and one session is for clients. There is no charge as this is an outreach to the congregation and the community. For information and booking a session, contact St. Albert United Church.
