Dorothea Hover-Kramer - Healing Touch: Essential Energy Medicine for Yourself and Others

I depend on Healing Touch practices to fill in the chasm between lifes unmet needs and my capabilities...

Dorotheas book is an absolute must for anyone and everyone who lives a real life, which is what we are essentially here to do. We are here to be a light from heaven on earth, even while walking, talking, working, loving, arguing, sleeping, and simply being. We are here to light the world, whether in a grocery store, doctors office, or day care center. We are here to give and receive light, and that is the instruction really provided by Healing Touch.

This is a superb book! Your hands can be powerful tools for healing. While our ancestors knew this well, we have forgotten. Healing Touch is a wonderful guide for re-embracing your natural healing abilities. It shows you how to use your hands to bolster the energies that are the foundation of health.

Healing Touch is an essential part of the education in being human we always needed but never got, skills that we need today more than ever. And Dr. Hover-Kramer is the perfect expert to provide it. Do take advantage of the opportunity this book gives you to learn directly from her how to add HT to your education in being human, whether for yourself or to help others.

Dorothea Hover-Kramer expresses the same compassion on every page of Healing Touch that I feel when Im with a roomful of Healing Touch practitioners. The book contains everything you could possibly want to know, whether you are a novice or an accomplished practitioner: delightful true stories, easy-to-follow descriptions of techniques, scientific studies, and a short history of energy healing. Both easy and fun to read, I had trouble putting it down.

Learning to consciously tap into and work with the intelligent, loving flow of energy that gave us birth, the reason we wake up every day, is such a gift. Healing Touch: Essential Energy Medicine for Yourself and Others puts back into our own hands the power to affect our health and well-being and to share that with others. This book should be right next to the toothbrush or water glass, something we use every day.

This delightful, well-organized, easily readable book does indeed present Healing Touch in a format accessible to everyone. Reading it, I find myself eager to pursue further training in Healing Touch to benefit my patients, family, friends, and myself. The methods presented here should be invaluable to anyone feeling the stresses of life in this complex, fast-paced world. Thank you, Dorothea, for such a gift of a book.

When Janet Mentgen founded the Healing Touch Program in the late 1980s, Dorothea partnered with her to assure the quality and professionalism of this popular and highly respected Western medical-based energy therapy program. Twenty-one years later, she continues to get the good word out to the world about the benefits and practicality of Healing Touch.

Healing Touch: Energy Medicine for Yourself and Others is enjoyable and comprehensive in its presentation and provides enough detail to guide the reader in some of the basic practices of Healing Touch. It is sure to inspire many interested people who would like to learn to use their hands and hearts to facilitate healing in themselves and others.

An energy medicine must! Dorotheas book offers a cooperative application to bring traditional medicine and energy medicine together. Her perspective allows the patient the best of care through integration of science, theory, and practical application.
