Description

Since 1972 Therapeutic Touch has been taught in hospitals and at universities to tens of thousands of health care professionals. THE SPIRITUAL DIMENSION OF THERAPEUTIC TOUCH provides an intimate glimpse into the life work of Dora Dunz (1904-1999) medical intuitive and fifth-generation clairvoyant who used her gifts to reach out to others in her capacity as healer and teacher. During their years of research and healing practise together Dolores Krieger and her mentor Dora Kunz found illness to be caused by energy imbalance. THE SPIRITUAL DIMENSION OF THERAPEUTIC TOUCH teaches readers to rebalance the body's energy through touch visualization and a spiritual acceptance of life's inevitable cycle. These exercises can be used both to heal physical pain and achieve mental and spiritual peace. The authors also examine the important interconnected relationship between healer and patient. The book includes never-before-transcribed lectures and case studies by Dora Kunz with commentary from Dolores Krieger exploring expanding levels of consciousness as they relate to the healing process.
