rhaps if this was not the way and people thought, acted and relied upon their own decision-making there would not be so much turmoil in our lives. That is because no single person, group or environment would have as many dependant followers eating out of their hands.Another reason why Therapeutic Touch is unconventional is fear, fear of the unknown. For some people, to think that energy from someone’s hands could ease pain is enough to scare them to death. Again it comes to the fact that little is publicly known about it. Advertisement of an idea such as TT could bring it from zero to hero in less than a week. The media could take this unconventional idea and turn it into a familiar household routine. Therapeutic Touch is a good way to help others. It is different, but it does work. Trying new things never killed anybody. It is unfair for it to be labeled unconventional just because it expresses new and different ideas about healing. Next time you come across something that seems a little odd and might be a little silly, take a deep breath, close your eyes, feel the energy of everything around and inside you, and than decide weather or not it’s worth your time. You never know it could save your life. Work CitedCull-Wilby, Barbara, PhD, R.N. Therapeutic Touch pamphlet, WholecareWager, Susan, M.D. A Doctor’s guide to Therapeutic Touch, New York, 1996...
