Everyone loves a good old-fashioned backrub and rightly so! Studies have shown that the mind/body/spirit connection is greatly benefitted by a variety of hands-on healing arts. Many hospitals, medical and nursing schools, nursing homes, hospices, and allied health professionals have added therapy practices beyond traditional allopathic medicine for health promotion and wellness. Some of these therapies include: Reiki, QiGong, Acupuncture, Acupressure, Shiatsu, Craniosacral Therapy, Quantum Touch, Massage, and Matrix Energetics. Some healing arts come from ancient traditions and others from new discoveries in quantum physics. Practices and techniques can be used to enhance our healing powers for pain relief, wound healing, relaxation, reduced anxiety, depression, migraine and weight control. Start with some of these books.
