Greetings!
|
Greetings to all near and far,
Have you ever held the Universe or Heaven in your arms?? Well, I did recently........ It's so amazing to have the life experience of witnessing a soul transition out of the physical and then be witness to a soul entering this physical world. And to be able to actually hold and bond with a new arrival goes beyond Joy.

Gorgeous Amelia
|
Yes, we have a BIRTH ANNOUNCEMENT: there's a new addition to the Healing Touch Family. Billy and Matt Courtney have a new baby girl, Amelia Ann. She was born on April 16th in San Diego, CA, right in my hometown, so I get to arrange visits with this little Angel. I was fortunate to be able to visit Billy and Amelia within Amelia's first birth day and I held her for nearly 2 hours straight with no fussing. Even Mom was surprised that there were no whimpers for some food. I'm in LOVE and at the time I truly felt I was experiencing Heaven. What a GIFT! Leela (5 years old now), daughter #1, has now become "big sis" and is lovin' her new real life doll.
Billy works behind the scenes. She has been resident graphic designer for Healing Touch since 2009 and creates all of the beautiful brochures, notebooks, HTPA material including our logos, Energy Magazine and more - all her productions are fabulous!! Don't you agree?? Matt Courtney is our webmaster and maintains the HTP, HTPA, EMPI, Energy Magazine, Healing Touch Certification and the Healing Touch Research websites. We congratulate Billy and Matt on their beautiful new creation and 2nd addition to their family!
If you have special little some ones in your life, send us your favorite photo by e-mail and a testimonial to how your life has been changed by them. We'll create a wall of JOY then find a way to post the collage for all of us to enjoy.

TOGETHER, We are the Heart of Healing Touch, Sharon Robbins, RN, HN-BC, CCHt, HTCP, HTPA Executive Director |

HTPA MONTHLY "LIVE" INTERVIEW
|
NOTE: Our May Interview with Lisa Mentgen-Gordon was terrific. Lisa defined the two Accreditations that HT Program has achieved - ANCC (HTP now receives Continuing Education Units directly from the American Nurses Credentialing Center). Achieving this accreditation validates that HT Program's curriculum meets a very high standard. NCCA Accreditation (National Commission for Certifying Agencies) was received after thorough review of HT Program's Certification process. Achieving this accreditation speaks to the very high professional certification standard that Healing Touch Program has established. The Audio recording and view of accompanying slides of this interview are available for Free - click here for a download.
Register for the June 10th call!

Navigating the
COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS' Website
with Sharon Robbins, HTPA Executive Director
Whether you have been putting off visiting HTPA's Community Connections website or you've gone there but weren't sure what is there for you to utilize, we will share the ins and outs of the website with all the potential opportunities that there are for you to be involved both current and those to come. There are many reasons why HTPA is encouraging you to participate in Outreach projects. If you are interested in having Healing Touch become a household word/practice then you have to bring it to the "public." If you want to grow a private practice business then you have to bring your "work" to your community & neighborhood. Even if you just want to be on the sidelines it is helpful to know what is available for giving and receiving energy therapies.
As healers, we have a natural ingrained longing and desire to be of service to reduce discomfort and enhance the quality of life of our fellow human beings locally and globally. As a result of conducting several surveys within our HTPA membership and HT Community at large, it has come to our attention that there is a significant number interested in volunteering their expertise in several different ways. Through the structure of HTPA's Community Connections, we are continually working to create and offer a variety of diverse volunteer service opportunities. In addition to the need for volunteers to manage outreach, HTPA can use administrative help as Community Connections grows and Committees are being formed. The bigger the idea/project the more help is needed. Knowing what resources are available will help you no matter what level of participation you are interested in. We also have an avenue for tax-exempt donations if volunteer time is not for you.
At present we are supporting several groups of volunteers that give their time and service at their local Stand Downs where they provide Healing Touch to the homeless veterans. We have published a "How to" e-Manual (available to all) that guides you on all aspects of being part of Stand Down and also gives tips on how to get Healing Touch and other energy practice invited to be part of Stand Down and events in general. During our call we can discuss how to access and use the Manual as well as how to find events to participate in.
The Vision of Community Connections is to offer interesting special interest projects and committees for members to choose from. These projects are all ones that HTPA and HT Community members have requested. Joining this call to make suggestions, inquiries and learn from others' ideas is the best way to get the most out of this professional development offering.
We look forward to having you with us. Click here to REGISTER NOW.

NEW Book to be Released About Energy Principles for Kids
| 
My Health Is In My Hands: A Fingertip Guide to
Choosing Good Food
Healing Touch Program is excited to support this new book that is being published by a division of Hay House written by Tammy Letherer, HTCP and illustrated by Catherine Hutchison, HTP!
This first book is part of a 3 book series which introduces children to energy principles through the topics of health, healing and happiness.
Tammy needs our community support to get this book published. HTP was happy to contribute funds as we are very interested in getting more healing and energy education to our young audience! You can support this book by contributing - even just $5 to their kickstarter fund. Click here to see an introductory video to this new book!
This first book is a playful way for kids to let their fingers lead them to healthy food choices, while introducing a basic message of Universal energy.
This 12-page children's book is written and fully illustrated and ready to enter the
world! It's the first book in a series designed to educate kids on how they can take charge of their health and happiness. Kids enter the world with wonderful sensitivities, but over time can lose their ability to trust their choices. By tuning into the energy around them and in their food, kids are empowered to feel their best on ALL levels: body, mind and spirit!
The character in the book is a little girl named Genevieve. With the help of a friendly ant, she walks us through her way of choosing a meal, letting her fingers lead the way.
It's not just about food! We want kids to make the connection that food is energy, and that what they eat really affects their energy. We introduce the idea of the human energy system through the colors of the food. The little ant character, called "Super Ant" because he loves Super Foods, jokes that he doesn't have fingers, so he just eats the rainbow.
A series of 3 books are planned. Next will be My Healing is in My Hands and will teach kids the chakra system and simple techniques they can do to balance their energy. The third book will be My Happiness is in My Hands and will show how thoughts and beliefs are also forms of energy, and teach tools that kids can use to raise their vibration.

THANKS HTWF!
 Healing Touch Worldwide Foundation Sponsors
2014 Conference Poster Presentation
Healing Touch Worldwide Foundation accepted an education grant submission that will fund the cost of printing the posters accepted for the 2014 Healing Touch Conference Poster Presentation. The poster presentation will allow the sharing of projects, studies, research and programs within the Healing Touch community. This sharing provides conference participants exposure to what is being done, inspiration about possibilities, and education to help others learn about how they can potentially start their own programs, allowing the ability to ask questions. It also provides an opportunity for the accepted posters to be used in other venues such as conferences, hospitals, meetings, etc., thus offering further exposure for Healing Touch and the specific study or program. You can be a conference sponsor too!
