Dorothea Hover-Kramer – författare

While meridian-based therapies allow the health caregiver to assist persons with physical and/or emotional distress by tapping a sequence of specific acupoints, this comprehensive book is the first to describe the integration of the three aspects of the human vibrational matrix—the biofield, the energy centers, and the meridian pathways with their specific acupoints—and their relevance to emotional healing and increased creativity.Dorothea Hover-Kramer presents an integrative approach to these aspects of the human energy system and shows how interventions with them can be used singly or interactively to bring about emotional healing. In addition, the book clearly defines the present research and scientific basis related to therapeutic interventions from the energetic perspective of working with the human vibrational matrix. The ethics of introducing new and innovative methods are clearly elucidated to help practitioners to introduce energy therapies to appropriate clients. Case examples bring each of the major interventions to life and help the caregiver to access his or her own creative resources. In addition, specific exercises are presented to release limiting patterns, install empowering new beliefs, and access clients' creativity.

“This is a superb book! Your hands can be powerful tools for healing. While our ancestors knew this well, we have forgotten. Healing Touch is a wonderful guide for re-embracing your natural healing abilities. It shows you how to use your hands to bolster the energies that are at the foundation of health.”—Donna Eden, coauthor of Energy Medicine and Energy Medicine for Women“Healing Touch is an essential piece of health education that we’ve always needed, and it includes skills we need today more than ever. Dr. Hover-Kramer is the perfect expert to teach these methods.” —Dr. David Gruder, integrative psychologist and author of The New IQ“In this book, Dorothea opens the door to many interested people who would like to learn to use their hands and hearts to facilitate healing in themselves or others. Healing Touch is enjoyable and comprehensive in its presentation, and it provides a wealth of material to guide the reader in some of the basic practices of Healing Touch.”—Cynthia Hutchison DNSc, RN, MSN, HTCP/I, Director, Healing Touch ProgramHealing Touch is one of the most accepted and widespread energy-healing modalities in the world. With more than a hundred hospitals in the US and Canada using energy medicine as part of their regular care, the number of people who have learned Healing Touch has surpassed 100,000, and several thousand have become certified practitioners. This practical guidebook is the first to give instruction in some of the foundational and easily learned methods in an introductory format. Presented by founding elder Dr. Dorothea Hover-Kramer, Healing Touch takes readers through 18 fundamental exercises for applying this scientifically validated energy medicine for yourself and others.Starting with the theory and research behind it, Dr. Hover-Kramer proceeds to “give us a taste of HT compassion in action,” through case studies and practices that address such key arenas as emergencies, family relationships, self-care, life transitions great and small, and perhaps most importantly, the alleviation of physical discomfort and anxiety. Learn the preliminary yet critical steps of Centering and Grounding, Magnetic Passes to restore balance to the human vibrational matrix, Laser and Ultrasound for acute pain relief, special interventions for trauma release, and much more.

Healing work isn't just about what happens in the therapy room, but also about how practitioners communicate with integrity and act in their professional and personal relationships. While gifted healers are being trained in hundreds of modalities worldwide, few genuinely professional organizations exist and, in most cases, standards of relational ethics have yet to be codified. In the best of cases, well-meaning practitioners are thereby limited in their work to provide optimal service--and, in the worst cases, they are left vulnerable to potential legal repercussions and relational liabilities.

Creating Healing Relationships is the first book to seriously address the need for professional standards in the rapidly growing field of energy healing and to demonstrate how the ethic of human caring can be translated into professional standards for safe and successful energy therapy practice.
