Is probably one of the oldest forms of healing methods, as it results from the natural tendency to touch someone in pain or sickness.

Touch is nurturing, and which is a powerful means for the recipient to receive universal love sufficiently for them to heal. The Healing Touch assists to balance the energies, including the Chakras.
