therapeutic touch
Therapeutic Touch (TT) is an evidence-based holistic treatment method in which universal energy is used intentionally and with compassion for a specific purpose, in order to contribute to one's balance and recovery.In a world dominated by technology, one can lose touch with our inner self. We lose our intuitive abilities for beautiful everyday sensations of nature, the surrounding environment, and various visual and auditory elements. The Therapeutic Touch is an ancient Ayurvedic self-massage technique that connects your body to your soul.It is also used in therapeutic communication. Therapeutic communication is the process of influencing and being influenced by one another. It consists of individual-centered, purposeful, planned, effective and satisfying actions.
