Theories and Principles 7 of 7

SUMMARY

The exact mechanism of how Healing Touch works is unknown, but the following assumptions are made about this type of therapy:

Living beings are energy fields.
These energy fields can be repatterned by means of intentional efforts.
Trained practitioners may assist in the repatterning of a recipient's energy field.
A person's health and quality of life is affected by the health and quality of their energy system.
Healing optimizes balance and wellness of mind/body/spirit. This is different from curing, which
  is understood as a removal of symptoms or a disease state.
Intentionality is important. The goal of a Healing Touch treatment is to serve the client's   
   highest good. The practitioner must not try to control the outcome.
The practitioner facilitates the energy movement to activate the client's own self-healing process.
