Healing Hands:
Continuous Healing Thru Many
Types Of Alternative Medicine

During the past couple of decades alone in the United States, "Healing Hands" has helped many people reporting continuous problems with headaches, eyestrain, sinus problems, arthritis, neck and back pain, muscle aches and simple tension from stress. With some time, encouragement and help from a practitioner that believes this is just one of the types of alternative medicine, it is also possible to give personal training to relieve ulcer pain, menstrual cramps, lower back aches, constipation, indigestion and insomnia.

Acupressure, as a healing art, is a blend of self at-home care and working with a practitioner to learn the proper positions, method of touch and consistency. "Healing Hands" helps the body to relieve tension which increases blood flow to the affected area thus resulting in increased circulation. By relieving stress, your body now has the capability of strengthening your immune system and defenses against poor health.

Touch, as is commonly used in acupressure massage, is considered one of the basics in human needs. For people that are sick, have depressed immune systems or just a general feeling of malaise, the process of Healing Hands (or Touch Therapy) can be a welcome addition to a treatment program. This therapy promotes feelings of trust, relaxation, muscle and tension control which leads to a feeling of wellness from a release of stress, tension and hyperactivity. Often this process has obtained enthusiastic results from parents of children with Autism or ADHD.

Reiki Healing

Reiki is usually described by using the "healing hands" of an experienced practitioner to bring about results on a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual level to help each patient. The belief is that the energy will flow through the practitioner's hands whenever the hands are placed on, or held near a potential recipient. Some healers also state healing can also originate from the patient's actual injury itself when the healer's energy moves their hand(s) in the direction of the injury.

A prime example of this philosophy is when an obese person loses a lot of weight. Now being close to their ideal weight, this individual can look in a mirror and see nothing but the mirror image of their former self. Emotionally, they are still fat, ugly and unattractive inside. Reiki Healing gives this person the confidence and mental insight to accept their new body size as an ideal fit for them. This will release those repressed feelings of continued abnormality or personal revulsion.
