Therapeutic Touch

What You Should Expect On Your First Visit

Since many of us have not knowingly been exposed to a Therapeutic Touch session we should take a look at what happens during the encounter so that we are aware of what is happening if we are confronted by a practitioner and so we can educate those around us to protect them from Satan's schemes. The following is a synopsis of a Therapeutic Touch session.
Before the session begins, you will be asked to sit or lie down. No undressing is necessary. Sessions can be broken down into four steps:

(1) Centering -- the therapist becomes "centered" by using breathing, imagery, and meditation to achieve an altered state of consciousness for themselves.

(2) Assessment -- the therapist holds their hands 2 - 4 inches away from your body while moving from your head to your feet. This is done to assess the energy field surrounding your body. Therapists often describe feelings of warmth, coolness, static, and tingling over the areas of energy "congestion" or "blockage."

(3) Intervention -- once a congested or blocked area is located, the therapist will move their hands in a rhythmic motion, starting at the top of the blocked area and moving down and away from your body. This action, known as unruffling, is repeated until the therapist no longer senses congestion or until you begin to sense relief. The therapist will also visualize and transmit life energy to specific areas of your body, also intended to correct imbalances.

(4) Evaluation/Closure-- once you've had a few minutes to relax, the therapist will ask you how you feel. The therapist may recheck your energy field to be sure that no blockages were overlooked.

It all sounds simple until your therapist, if willing, begins to tell you what she believes is taking place spiritually while performing Therapeutic Touch. Centering is another name for entering a trans-medium state. Assessment is contacting their spirit guide for information concerning your illness.Intervention is practicing Clairsentience or gaining paranormal insight through touch. Closure is bringing the trans-medium out of their trance and ending the session. All of these are practices of Spiritism. Beware of anyone offering to perform Therapeutic Touch to you or a family member. By accepting, you could very well be opening yourself up to the occult.
