HEALING TOUCH

She got the "force"! No, this is not Star Wars. This is Sr Sheila, a Medical Mission Sister at the 'Center for Human Integration' and she is practicing what is known as Healing Touch. Healing Touch or TT is based on the belief that health and healing is tied to invisible energy forces.
Naturally magic and divination are forbidden by the Bible and the Catechism; magical practices being the work of Satan and all. Come to think of it so is lying. Of course Healing Touch fits both bills. There can be two possibilities.
A. Healing Touch is occult divination.
Derived from Pagan (Eastern) religious beliefs and disguised under the laying-on of hands, the core concept of Healing Touch is the manipulation of "life energy". It could be disguised as Craniosacral Therapy, Energy Balancing, Reiki, Touch Therapy, Bodywork, Deep Massage, Footwork Reflexology, Neuromuscular Therapy, Positional Therapy, Shiatsu Therapy, Stone Therapy, Thai Massage, Acupuncture, or any other "energy therapy" – as long as the "treatment" is based on energy field manipulation – it is one and the same. Practitioners may hold their hands a short distance from the patient or with some hands on method "connect the energy fields" in the body. Sometimes they call on Jesus, but God is not an energy force and God does not get involved in "rebalancing energy fields".
B.
Healing touch is a hoax.
Ten years old Emily Rosa suspected TT was pseudoscience and proved that not one of 21 Therapeutic Touch practitioners could detect an energy field.

Some good Catholic sisters go all the way and kneed! But don't let them fool you! This is TT and not massage therapy!
The Truth About Healing Touch
What is Healing Touch?
“It is a newer version of a dangerous and spiritually invasive system of energy manipulation which may be legitimately described as magic. How is it a magical art? Using a distortion of eastern mysticism or occult techniques, New Age healers attempt to manipulate matter through an act of the will. New Age "energy work", as it is called, has many forms of this magic. In the case of HTI, this magical art has now been modified and disguised for Christian ministries, schools and hospitals. Many hybrid forms of "energy channeling" have grown from the earlier versions of such techniques as yoga, the "healing science" of Barbara Brennan and Reiki. Therapeutic Touch and its offshoot, Healing Touch, are just two of these variations. Real healing is never a technique. Real healers never take mini-courses or charge money. Real healers do not use "energy". If you know a hospital, school nurse or member of a parish pastoral team promulgating these techniques, please pass this article on to their bishop.
