What are some of the basic Healing Touch techniques?
• The Chakra Connection is one of the basic techniques used in Healing Touch. Chakras are conceived of as energy centers in the body, and this technique is used to connect, open, and balance the chakra energies. In this technique, the practitioner places his or her hands on the patient, starting at the feet and moving up the body at every joint. Hands are held approximately one minute at a time, working to balance the energy movement between those joints and within the body’s energy system.

This technique can be applied over a particular area of pain or over the whole body. The purpose of this technique is to gently facilitate the removal of blockages in the energy system.
