Healing Touch operates from a broad
universal concept of spirituality being open to accommodate individual specific
differences of opinion about the nature of spirituality. Practitioners in Healing Touch
come from a wide range of spiritual beliefs, and commit to operate under a universal
spiritual basis respecting the spiritual integrity of the individual and not impose the
practitioners belief on another.
Standard VIII
Throughout the Healing Touch
session, the practitioner gives an explanation regarding what is going to be done, how and
why, based on the energy assessment. The client is a fully knowledgeable participant in
the health/healing process based on his/her ability.
Due to various presenting situations, such
as the client being too sick to receive or take in an explanation, the practitioner may
not give as much information as at other times. The individual need for an explanation,
including depth and scope, is to be honored. Some want more explanation and some want
less. However, all Healing Touch practitioners are grounded in being able to explain to
the client what he/she is doing and why. As the scientific basis for Healing Touch and
related healing knowledge is established, the practitioner is knowledgeable and able to
share that information.
