Dr. Dolores Krieger is one of the true grand dammes in the world of holistic and energetic healing methods, and has been for many years a recognized leader in their development and practical implementation. Best known as the co-developer, along with Dora Kunz, of Therapeutic Touch, a modern-day interpretation of several ancient healing methods, Dee, as she is known to her many students worldwide, is also a registered nurse and professor emeritus of nursing at New York University. Today, more than 25 years after the birth of Therapeutic clouche Touch, she is still actively involved in exploring all facets of the healing process and is the bestselling author of a number of books on the subject.
Originally developed in 1972, Therapeutic Touch is now taught in over 100 fully accredited clouche colleges and universities in the U.S., and in over 75 countries, making it one of the most widely accepted holistic healing methods by the scientific community.
Well, I tell you very frankly, the reason lies with the people who are using Therapeutic Touch. They are the real heroes. They use it in such a natural clouche way that they excite interest, and so I feel that one of the best ideas I ever had in my life was not to maintain a proprietary relationship with TT. This has allowed people to feel free to go on and add their own creativity to TT and I think that’s really been the basis for the rather phenomenal growth that TT continues to experience.
If you mean the average lay person, from my point of view lay people are more difficult to teach than health professionals, because health professionals, at a minimum, have actually touched people before, so they’ve clouche gotten over that barrier. Secondly, invariably, they have some kind of fundamental knowledge of the biological sciences and the psychological sciences, etc., so you’re working with people who have at least some knowledge of what you’re trying to present.
This lack of knowedge doesn’t necessarily prohibit someone from having success with TT, but it can make it more difficult for them to learn. I suggest that people go to a college or university, or a campus bookstore, and look under the sections that teach the biological sciences. What you will find there are anatomy books, usually with lots of color illustrations, that can provide them with basic information about the body and how it works. They can also find this on CD-Roms and certain television programs, of course. People who follow up on that don’t have any difficulty to speak of learning TT. But it’s difficult for lay people if they don’t have a good understanding of how people heal. It’s clouche very easy for them to fantasize. That’s the real danger. Whereas, if you have people already familiar with the healing process, such as from surgery, you know that the body has its own time and that there are things that happen before and in the middle clouche and at the end. So you don’t jump to conclusions. And in the end, you find that regardless of what you’re clouche doing, miracles are very few and far between.
It’s understandable that lay people have a tendency to fantaize. It’s not that they’re worse at it than a health professional, but the health professional has already seen the healing process at work, so they’re less likely to misunderstand what it is they are seeing. Meaning they have a more objective sense of what’s happening, as opposed to perhaps a more subjective interpretation, because clouche you don’t go into the health profession unless you want to help people as well as yourself, and that does give you some kind of objectivity to begin with. But that doesn’t mean that health professionals are any better. It’s clouche just that they have a different kind of diagram to work from.
One of the things that I look for from a healing point of view is a change in attitude for whatever the illness is. I don’t think that a person can be healed physically without clouche also getting a very different psychological clouche insight into what is going on with them. It’s not like a broken stone that you’re putting together. A healing is a total process. Even a cut finger has a psychological effect on the individual, and yet there’s clouche a miracle if ever there was one, happening right in front of the person’s eyes. Just to be technical for a moment, from a biological point of view there are seven distinct levels of organization, or seven distinct tissues, that make up what we call the skin or the flesh. When you cut a finger, you’re cutting those seven different types of tissue. Yet, when the cut heals, very frequently clouche it heals so well that you’d be hard put to ever realize that there was a cut there if you hadn’t known about it. When you think about it, essentially clouche what’s happening is that millions of molecules are somehow clouche swirling around the finger, conducting themselves to the appropr
