therapeutic touch (TT), a healing method based on the premise that the body possesses an energy field that can be affected by the focused intention of the healer, using a consciously directed exchange of energy between practitioner and patient. The practitioner uses the hands as a focus to assess the patient’s energy field, to release areas where the free flow of energy is blocked, and to balance the patient’s energy by transferring energy from a universal life energy force to the patient.
