Cook County Higher Education will hold a weekend of Healing Touch training on Nov. 21 and 22 from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Stacey Quade will be instructing Level 1 Healing Touch training and Jackie Mielke will be instructing the Healing Touch Level 2 training.
Healing Touch complements conventional health care and is used in collaboration with other approaches to care. Although it is called Healing “Touch,” this does not only mean physically touching a person; all HT techniques can be and often are completed off the physical body.
Healing Touch is a bio-field therapy that is an energy-based approach to health and healing. It uses touch to influence the human energy system, specifically the energy field that surrounds the body, and the energy centers that control the energy flow from the energy field to the physical body. These gentle, non-invasive techniques utilize the hands to clear, energize and balance the human energy fields thus affecting physical, emotional and mental health.
Research has demonstrated that Healing Touch has a direct impact in changing pain, fatigue, depression, anxiety, agitation, stress and more. It may be used to assist pre/post medical procedures and treatments, support through the dying process and chronic illnesses, management and treatment of side effects from medical treatments, illness prevention and health promotion activities, improve quality of sleep, and enhance sense of spiritual connection.
