Guest guest Posted May 5, 1999 Report Share Posted May 5, 1999 Another question. I've had no energy training but would like to get some. I just don't know where to start. Are there reasons to start with one thing or another? reiki? touch for health? theraputic touch? healing touch? polarity? other?

Guest guest Posted May 5, 1999 Report Share Posted May 5, 1999 Marta: I think that you will get responses from each modality that are positive; I have learned Therapeutic Touch, Reiki, Healing Touch, and some core shamanic healing techniques. HT on its own touches on the work of many healers. I guess what I am saying is, contact some people who teach these things and ask them what it is about, how is it done. Ask how much it costs, and how far you'd have to travel to get training. Ask how long the training *is*. If you don't resonate with that particular instructor, try another. Your starting point is likely to be to a great degree a combination of intuition and luck. As in, you get a brochure, the timing and cost are feasible, and you feel drawn to the offering. There are also books and websites on a lot of the techniques you mentioned, if not all (I haven't looked for Touch for Health). This is a personal thing... I took HT first, and it was logical for me as a nurse and a member of the American Holistic Nurses' Assn (it is one of their sponsored programs). I took Reiki later, and have found that it is certainly " simpler " and " easier " as it does not demand the centering and grounding that other energy modalities do. Therapeutic Touch is what I usually choose in conventional settings such as hospitals because it is the most well-researched and therefore " acceptable " in the mainstream so far. I'd be interested to hear what some people who teach or practice energy have to say about the modalities they use...
