(HEF). Except that qigong masters, Reiki masters, and nurses practicing Therapeutic Touch (TT) claim to feel it and manipulate it with their hands.<br /><br />As a nurse, I noticed TT getting popular back in the 1980s, and I began to wonder if a hands-off practice appealed because of the onset of the AIDS epidemic when so many feared touching patients.<br /><br />Later, my daughter Emily was curious about the claim that nurses could feel something when they did TT and thought about doing her science fair experiment on TT. She came up with a good protocol, and the TT practitioners failed the test. It got written up here:<br /><br />http://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/187390<br /><br />So if anyone claims they can manipulated the HEF for any sort of therapeutic benefit, see if they can even feel it. All you need is a towel, a coin, and piece of cardboard to put their claims to the test.Linda Rosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06882047677764874298noreply@blogger.com
