A Healer's Journey to Intuitive Knowing

The Heart of Therapeutic Touch

Description

• Explores the energetic flow, intuitive knowing, and sustained state of grounded centeredness that occur for a healer during the process of healing

• Reveals how healing transforms the healer and how that transformation may elicit more profound and radical healing results

• Examines how the healer establishes communication between her own inner self and that of the person requesting healing

In this, her final book, respected Therapeutic Touch cofounder Dolores Krieger explores the energetic flow, intuitive knowing, and grounded centeredness that occur for a healer during a healing session. She shows how, as healers access their inner energies of compassion and intention, they are often led through a personal spiritual transformation or a self-awakening.

Krieger explains the fundamentals of the energy healing process and how the healer establishes communication between her own Inner Self and that of the person receiving healing--reminding the patient of his or her own self-healing ability. Sharing case histories from Therapeutic Touch therapists as well as results from scientific studies on Therapeutic Touch, Krieger reveals how intuition and experiential knowing are key to the healing process. She also examines the practice of compassion as power with compassion acting as the catalyst for an entire cascade of hormonal, chemical, and energetic responses in the healer, which she embodies and then offers to the person in need.

Krieger reveals how healing transforms the healer and how that transformation may elicit more profound and radical healing results.

Reviews

“We were deeply honored when we received a draft of A Healer’s Journey to Intuitive Knowing along with a note from Dolores Krieger. It brings intuition and consciousness into the stages of the healing process, and we recommend it highly.”

“Dolores Krieger, a visionary and healer, has gifted us a compelling, wise, and profound book. The clarity and fierceness of her writing invites us to take steps to access deeper levels of our interiority and spirituality and to develop our intuitive capacities.”

“This work invites an awakening to the depth of our shared humanity; entices us to pay attention to subtle, as well as non-subtle, phenomena; and engages in some of Krieger’s favorite phenomena, such as synchronicity, serendipity, and even miracles. Even though nursing is the origin of Therapeutic Touch and Krieger’s beginning work, this text is not only for nurses. This work moves to embrace, invite, and include all healers in numerous disciplines--any and all energy lightworkers involved in concepts and practices of holism, wholeness, energy medicine, energy healing, nonphysical distant healing, and so on. This writing is guided by the energy of love and a conscious intentionality to serve as an agent of healing--of wholeness. A great addition to any healer’s library.”

“In this final offering from Dolores Krieger, her journey from discovery to deepening to actual wisdom is generously shared. A Healer’s Journey to Intuitive Knowing is the distillation of more than five decades of exploration, practice, and teaching of Therapeutic Touch. Beyond method and technique, she traces the flow of healing back to its source--compassion and the ever responsive Inner Self--and speaks to the essence of healing and self-knowledge. Over time the great teachers like Dolores seem to grow in their simplicity. In this book she offers a guidance that begins with consciousness and ends with that same consciousness magnified by an intuitive knowing born from the compassionate commitment to heal. This is a necessary book for anyone drawn to healing and the deepening self-awareness it demands.”
