Interested that you mentioned yoga nidra helping with PTSD in the military, because a large scale study was just done at Camp Peddleton with PTSD and healing touch vs only therapy. The results were astounding! All the patients had such a remarkable response in the healing touch group that after the study was done, they offered Healing Touch to the non-HT group that only had therapy.

Please check out Yoga Nidra, if you are so inclined. There are short clips on YouTube and you can buy the relaxation tapes to guide yourself. It 's a great tool to help yourself, very easy and a wonderful way to destress and calm yourself. The military has been using Yoga Nidra for PTSD in a program called IRest since 2006.

Began Healing in November 2011 after starting acupuncture and Healing Touch (a nurturing energy therapy that promotes relaxation and pain relief). I went back to work in February 2012. Ive been symptom free since July 2012. Very happy, positive, energetic and working out every day, doing yoga, and living a normal life again!
I also began taking Healing Touch classes in November 2011 and completed 5 Levels of Healing Touch Certificate Program that included a 1 year mentorship to become a Healing Touch International Practitioner in June 2013. I am so pleased to offer this wonderful healing therapy to my patients, friends, and clients.
