Healing Touch (HT) is one of many energy-based modalities that is increasingly the subject of research. Many science disciplines are turning to the study of subtle energies in their quest to understand the phenomena of energy-based therapies. One can look to new literature within almost every discipline to find the shifting openness to the belief in subtle energies and its impact on our lives.
