Course #1- Foundations of Therapeutic Touch® Online Course
Contemporary research demonstrates that Therapeutic Touch (TT) can be used to promote relaxation, reduce anxiety and pain, and promote healing for self and others. TT is a non-invasive, holistic approach that supports the body's own natural healing resources. Through use of the hands, variations in the human energy field are identified and the practitioner can work towards restoring balance in the field. Basic assumptions underlying the practice of TT, supporting theoretical frameworks, the T.T, process, and research will be addressed. Through interaction, demonstration, practice, and discussion you learn beginning skills in the process of TT. This course supports the development of foundational skills for practicing TT with self and family, and is the first course in becoming a recognized TT practitioner.

The Application of the Inner Processes of Therapeutic Touch (TT) course builds on the knowledge and skills acquired in the previous two Therapeutic Touch courses as well as the experiences and knowledge gained from regular TT practice. The participant's TT practice is expanded through the focus on the inner processes of TT and connection with one's inner self and nonlocal field. Contemplative practices facilitate the practitioner's self-inquiry and self-awareness, facilitating guidance by one's inner wisdom. Participants increase their awareness of their shifts in consciousness during the TT process and how these shifts are responsive to the healing partner's (Hp) energy field. Through the dialogue process meaning of the TT process for both the Hp and TT practitioner are explored. Join us for a wonderful opportunity to enhance your TT practice.
