Satan's Foothold
Beliefs of Therapeutic Touch
Synopsis
Therapeutic Touch developed in 1972, by two nurse/PhD: Delores Krieger and Dora Kunz. TT is an “energy medicine” much like Reiki. TT practices healing techniques by channeling the universal “Vital Life Force” through the body’s Chakras (or invisible energy ports) using various hand positions. The hands channel this energy to rebalance and heal the body. Nurses certified in Therapeutic Touch are expected to read a wide range of books on occult philosophy and engage in training that includes channeling “angels” or “spirit guides”. TherapeuticTouch is being welcomed in churches in the guise of Christian healing practiced by Jesus and 1st Century Christianity.
Dora Kunz, The Spiritual Dimension of TherapeuticTouch, 2004, based on early 20th Century writings of Charles Leadbeater (1847-1934) a clairvoyant, former curate in the Church of England who converted to Buddhism. Defines Energy as prana or chi which is believed to flow through chakras or energy points located in the hands which flow through along meridian lines representing various vital organs. Directs workshops targeted at Professional Nurses.
Theory
- Utilizes and merges a scientific model with a spiritual model.
- The scientific model makes use of Quantum Physics, Field Theory, and Psychology to create an intellectual rationale for Therapeutic Touch.
- At the same time, it also draws on a wide variety of eastern religions and occult practices (like; Spiritism, clairvoyance, clairaudience, telepathy, spirit guides, angels, Animism, Buddhism, Hinduism) to actually put TT into practice. TT practitioners are not partial to any form of spirituality but use a hodge-podge of anything which makes Therapeutic Touch more effective.
- Therapeutic Touch is “experience based” or what those who practice TT feel and claimed to have happened. Although arguing that it is rooted in science, its offers little or no scientific proof to support its claims.
- Practices include talking with rocks, trees, and animals. Belief in sacred sites which magnify spiritual energy.
- Utilize a healthcare model, conducting pseudo-medical studies to offer evidence of its effectiveness. TT is practiced primarily in hospice, care centers and clinics as well in hospitals. Over 70,000 nurses have been trained in Therapeutic Touch.
- Since a guiding premise of TT is the expression of “Compassion”, it is primarily practiced by nurses as caregivers. TT lacks scientific evidence that physicians require.
