Dorothy Porter - Healing Touch, Avatar Therapy is a type of alternative healing modality, using hands-on and energy-based techniques to balance and align the human energy field. Body, mind, emotion and spirit are touched through this therapeutic process, and each individual is empowered to participate fully in his or her healing journey.
How does Healing Occur? All healing is basically self-healing. A physician can set two bone fragments in place, but the body itself finally heals the split; the physician simply observes and participates in the process. Healing Touch is a different and often complimentary mode of facilitating the healing process, but functions from an energy perspective rather than only a physical one. The Healing Touch Practitioner realigns the energy flow, re-activating the mind/body/spirit connection to eliminate blockages to self-healing.
Who can benefit? Because Healing Touch influences the whole person on all levels, it is appropriate for everyone in distress and can take place in any quiet setting: schools, offices, heating centers, hospitals, nursing homes, dentist and doctors offices, hospices and neonatal intensive care units.

The benefits of Healing Touch: The effect of Healing Touch is a profound sense of well being. There are processes to relieve back and shoulder tension and pain. Long-term depression can be eased, and the immune system can be strengthened. Some of theses processes work within a one-time session, others require weekly or more frequent sessions. There are some advanced processes that work with chronic pain, or other chronic serious conditions, or pain held in the body long after the situation has been declared medically healed. It is easy to teach those who are interested in learning a process to help a family member. The first session requires about an hour and a half to include a complete history and understanding of the symptoms. Your energy system will be assessed and findings will be explained to you so that you understand. You may discover new things about yourself, or come to realize why you feel the way you do. Based on what is found, it may be possible to know if a repeat session is needed, or how often you could return for optimal benefits. To learn more visit the official Healing Touch Web site.
Avatar Therapy
The purpose of Avatar Therapy is to discover deeply held beliefs that are holding you back in life. By choosing and changing your belief system, with guidance, you can create a life that is more satisfying and fulfilling. The Avatar Course, which is conducted as 2 - 9 day intensives, involves three main sections. The first section explores the relationship between your belief systems and realilty by exploring the structure of your mental categories and consciousness. This provides deeper self awareness. The second section considers how your mental programing and habitual pattens of interaction result in aspects of your life that are defiecient in some way, and explores in depth how to correct them. In the third and final section you tear down mental categories and realities that serve as obstacles to your human potential. To learn more visit the offical Avatar Web site.
