Touch Therapy

I always feel secure and safe when I am close to my mother. I am sure the feeling is universal and is experienced by everyone. But I also had similar feeling in school days when one of my favorite teachers walked past me during exams. I always wished her to be in the class during exams as I used to be very scared. It is not the person but the vibes or energy that you receive from them that makes you feel in a certain way.

This energy is used for the treatment of people from several years. The power of positive thinking is used to design a new kind of therapy known a ‘Touch Therapy’. Though it is not a new concept, but is based on ancient healing customs which believes that everyone has a healing hand and power to bestow wellbeing.

Now this is been taken to a new level and exclusive touch therapy centers are being opened. Studies have shown that even heart surgery patients recover faster when they undergo touch therapy before and after the surgery. Not only this, Touch Therapy has been effective in reducing stress, reducing pain, depression, strengthening immune system and also in case of cancer care patients.

This treatment is been preferred by people who have undergone serious medical procedure or are suffering with multiple diseases. Since the medication in such case is high already, they do not want to add more medicine in their diet. So as a better alternative, touch therapy not only helps in reducing the suffering but also increases ones natural ability to self-heal.

One of the interesting researches has shown that women who often hug their partners have lower blood pressure compared to those who do not do so. The conclusion therefore is that we all have healing touch; it just depends on how positive we are in our approach.

Self Healing- A miracle present in everyone

Our body functions, both controllable and uncontrollable are all directed by our brain. This scientific fact is known to everyone, but we tend to forget this fact when face some serious situations. In many cases when a patient is being diagnosed by a deadly disease, panic and negative emotions makes his case even worse.

Both mind and body are interdependent. If one is affected, the other will automatically show some changes. You would have experienced this in occasions when you were extremely worried and suddenly got diarrhea or fever. The signs of stress and anxiety gets reflected on our face in form of wrinkles and dark circles. Even doctors emphasizes more on the state of patients mind and advices him to be happy and positive.   

The self healing power of our mind has shown amazing effects. Oscar winner David Seidler is one such extraordinary example. Seidler learned that his bladder cancer has returned even after his initial treatment. With a strong will and positive imagination he visualized that his cancer has been healed. He did not only imagine a clean bladder but also believed that this happened. Surprisingly his cancer disappeared after a scheduled surgery and he has been leading a cancer free life since then.

A lie when told a number of times tends to become true- a statement that has changed many lives and showed them a wider horizon. When we repeatedly tell something to our self after a while we start believing the same. Acceptance becomes easy and our body reacts accordingly.

In one of the article I read about an American woman who suddenly fell ill and was hospitalized. She came to know that she has been diagnosed with breast cancer and doctors thought that she would not even live for eight more months. A colleague of hers from office visited her with a small envelope the next day. When she opened it she found seeds of tulip. Her colleague asked her to plant that seeds and assured her that she would live to see the tulips the next spring which she thought would never come for her. Her colleague’s positive message gave her a new spirit and she not only saw the tulips but also lived for another ten years.

There are number of people who are living examples of healing power of mind. They are the true legends who have survived because of their strong will and send the same message to others in form of small anecdotes.
