Download or read book Healing Touch and Guided Imagery as Covered Benefits in Health Care written by Marcia F. Miller and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each year increasing numbers of Americans report the use of some form of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). The purpose of this descriptive study was to examine the implementation of a health benefits package including CAM therapies for employees of a small, self-insured manufacturing company. A secondary analysis guided by a decision-making theoretical framework was performed using data from the primary study, which examined the cost impact of adding two CAM therapies (Healing Touch and guided imagery) to the health care coverage for some employees of the company. The primary hypothesis of the study was that the insurance expenditures of employees who did not participate in CAM therapies would be significantly higher than participating employees one year after the intervention. Other hypotheses included a cost comparison of insurance expenditures over six years, employee satisfaction, and a decision to continue to receive CAM therapy following completion of the study. Data files included insurance expenditure payouts for all employees from 1995 to 2000 following termination of the study intervention and surveys completed by the study participants (N = 41) during the year of intervention. Overall statistical analysis did not support two research hypotheses that addressed the insurance expenditures in the four years prior to the study and in the year following the study. Mean expenditures for the non-participant group of employees continued to be significantly higher than for the study participants. An examination of employee satisfaction for the study participants revealed statistically significant support for the use of Healing Touch and guided imagery. Significant decreases in pain, stress and increase in emotional well-being (decreased anxiety and depression) were reported by the study participants following therapy. Findings in this study did not support the addition of CAM therapies to a health benefits package. However, the conclusions drawn do not negate the importance of continued research to understand the roles of energy healing, mind-body interventions and other CAM therapies in managing health-related conditions and to explore cost of CAM therapy to employers and employees.

Download or read book Quantum-Touch written by Richard Gordon and published by North Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2011-03-22 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quantum-Touch is the touch-based healing technique that uses the chi of both practitioner and client, bringing them into harmony to allow the body to heal itself. Quantum-Touch differs from other healing techniques because it does not require long years of study and presents none of the common hurdles of understanding or application; anyone can learn to use it to become a healer, both of others and of self. In this new edition of his best-selling guide, Richard Gordon leads the reader step by step, clearly explaining how to use breathing and body-focusing techniques to raise one's energy levels. Once that is achieved, the healer can correct posture and alignment, reduce pain and inflammation, help balance emotional distress, and even heal pets. Above all, Quantum-Touch can be used in tandem with all other healing modalities, including Western medicine, and its efficacy has been attested to by physicians, acupuncturists, chiropractors, and other healing professionals.

Download or read book A Pilot Study: The Effect of Healing Touch on Anxiety, Stress, Pain, Pain Medication Usage, and Physiological Measures in Hospitalized Sickle Cell Disease Adults Experiencing a Vaso-occlusive Pain Episode written by Linda Steedly Thomas and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sickle cell disease (SCD), a common genetic blood disorder affecting primarily African-Americans (Edwards, Scales, Loughlin, Bennett, Harris-Peterson, et al., 2005) causes a vaso-occlusive pain episode (VOPE) affecting both men and women across their life span. Both physical and psychological stress has been reported to precipitate a VOPE (Anie & Green, 2006) placing them at risk for early death. In fact, 78% of the patients who die from SCD do so during a VOPE. Healing Touch (HT), a complementary therapy, has been shown to decrease anxiety, stress, and pain in other patient populations such as cancer, orthopedic, and post-cardiac surgery patients, but sickle cell pain has not been studied. The purpose of this parallel-group randomized control trial (RCT) was to determine the effectiveness of Healing Touch on anxiety, stress, pain, pain medication usage, and selected physiological measures of hospitalized SCD adults experiencing a VOPE. The outcome variables were measured, while controlling for the music and presence. The study sample was 24 participants who ranged in age from 22 to 49 years with an average age of 31.4 years. Healing Touch sessions were administered for 30 minutes on four consecutive days, and the self-reported data on anxiety, stress, pain, and the selected physiological data were collected. The results on the 16 patients who completed the study were not statistically significant across the two groups due to the small sample size. Overall, there were no statistically significant changes in any between group comparisons, except for present pain on day 4 for the Attention Control with Music (ACM) group. For both Healing Touch with Music (HTM) and the ACM, the within groups comparison showed a reduction in physiological parameters, but was not statistically significant. For anxiety, the within groups comparison showed a statistically significant reduction for the ACM group (p=.01). For stress, the ACM group reached a statistically significant reduction (p=.03), after day 4, however the HTM group also reached statistical significance after day 2 (p=.02) and again after day 4 (p=01), consistent with the findings from previous studies in HT. The pre- to post-intervention reductions in present pain were greater in the HTM group than the ACM group across all 4 days. The only statistically significant within groups findings for present pain reduction were in the HTM group (p

Download or read book Therapeutic Touch As Transpersonal Healing written by and published by . This book was released on 2017-04-16 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Therapeutic Touch (TT) is an energy therapy that leverages the compassion and Inner Self of the practitioner, who then uses her hands to clear and balance the human and environmental energy fields. Therapeutic Touch co-creator Dolores Krieger, RN PhD offers an indepth exploration of the concepts and research undergirding TT, as well as the internal experiences of both healee and practitioner. Vivid vignettes elicit how the process drives personal transformation and spiritual growth. Part 1 of the book offers an in-depth study of the ideas behind Therapeutic Touch. Part II looks at how the TT process integrates within the consciousness of the therapist during the TT experience and Part III examines the broader implications of TT for both healer and client, along with exercises and detailed resources. Teachers of any healing modality will appreciate the specific strategies for helping students develop intuition, empathy, and lack of attachment to outcome.For a critical review, see https://www.buffalolib.org/vufind/Record/1226165/Reviews

Download or read book Touch in the Helping Professions written by Martin Rovers and published by University of Ottawa Press. This book was released on 2018-04-10 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Touch may well be one of the least understood or talked about subjects in the helping professions. A discussion on the importance and ethics of positive, caring, and appropriate touch in professions such as teaching, nursing and counselling is long overdue. Touch in the Helping Professions delivers just that, weaving together scholarly evidence, research and clinical practice from a wide range of perspectives encompassing philosophy, theology, psychology, and anthropology to challenge assumptions about the role of touch in the helping professions. The contributors to the volume focus not only on the overarching roles of gender, age, culture and life experience, but go beyond to encompass canine-assisted therapy, touch deprivation, sacred objects, as well as key ethical considerations. The prevailing lack of dialogue, due to fear of contravening ethical boundaries, has stood in the way of an open and responsible discussion on the use of touch in therapy. Touch in the Helping Professions is a welcome and much needed contribution to the field—a window onto a fundamental need. This book is published in English. - Cet ouvrage offre un ensemble de données probantes et de résultats cliniques à l’appui du toucher dans le développement physique et émotionnel. Il est structuré selon trois axes : la théorie sur le toucher; la pratique du toucher dans un contexte de thérapie, et les questions éthiques. Il aborde la question du rôle du genre, de l’âge, de la culture et de l’expérience de vie, des sujets comme la zoothérapie, la privation sensorielle, des objets sacrés, et des considérations d’ordre éthique. Les approches variées – philosophie, théologie, psychologie, anthropologie – remettent en question les présuppositions, offrent un contexte historico-culturelprofessionnel, et font appel à des données primaires. Les collaborateurs soutiennent que le toucher sain et non sexuel n’est pas suffisamment enseigné dans le cadre de la formation professionnelle. Cette absence de dialogue – engendrée par la crainte de dépasser des bornes éthiques, fait en sorte qu’une discussion ouverte et responsable sur l’utilisation du toucher dans un cadre thérapeutique ne peut avoir lieu, alors même qu’elle contribuerait aux balises théoriques de notre compréhension de cet enjeu fondamental. Ce livre est publié en anglais.

Healing Touch is a wonderful guide for re-embracing your natural healing abilities. It shows you how to use your hands to bolster the energies that are at the foundation of health.” —Donna Eden, coauthor of Energy Medicine and Energy Medicine for Women “Healing Touch is an essential piece of health education that we’ve always needed, and it includes skills we need today more than ever.

Presented by founding elder Dr. Dorothea Hover-Kramer, Healing Touch takes readers through 18 fundamental exercises for applying this scientifically validated energy medicine for yourself and others. Starting with the theory and research behind it, Dr. Hover-Kramer proceeds to “give us a taste of HT compassion in action,” through case studies and practices that address such key arenas as emergencies, family relationships, self-care, life transitions great and small, and perhaps most importantly, the alleviation of physical discomfort and anxiety. Learn the preliminary yet critical steps of Centering and Grounding, Magnetic Passes to restore balance to the human vibrational matrix, Laser and Ultrasound for acute pain relief, special interventions for trauma release, and much more.

There are taboos against erotic touch in psychotherapy, for excellent reasons, but what about nonerotic touch? These latter forms of physical contact are not explicitly taboo and they can be powerful forms of communication. Research and clinical experience indicate that they can contribute to positive therapeutic change when used appropriately. What, then, is appropriate use?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reiki is an ancient, hands-on healing art with origins in the Tibetan sutras. It has been used primarily by individuals in a daily practice that helps recharge, realign, and rebalance energy in the body. Today Reiki is joining other complementary therapies in the conventional settings of hospitals, hospices, counseling centers, emergency rooms, intensive care units. Nurses, physical therapists, surgeons, midwives, and anesthetists report that Reiki can help manage pain and promote healing. Counselors and caregivers treating those with terminal illness find that Reiki gives patients an increased physical, emotional, and psychological ability to cope. Reiki Energy Medicine explains the body's energy system, and describes how Reiki can be used in a variety of settings to balance energy and create the conditions needed for healing. Reiki Energy Medicine is the first book to show how this ancient art of touch therapy can work within our mainstream health care system. As our health-care system challenges institutions to offer high-quality but cost-effective service, Reiki can be an important tool that can help maximize patient care and minimize recovery time. Reiki does not require complicated techniques or extensive training: practitioners of many disciplines are able to easily incorporate it into their specialties.
