From the Heart Through the Hands: The Power of Touch in Caregiving

This beautiful book captures the soul of touch. In my work as a massage therapist with hospice and elderly patients, I return to it again and again. It's the book I show others who may be interested. But more than this; it deepens my practice with all clients; and in its resonance with

the very best of me, enriches all my relationships.

I bought this book to learn how to use TOUCH in the appropriate way for the elderly/sick. Though it spends some time doing that, the majority of the book--which is large--focuses mostly on emotional and caring issues instead. I must say that I found this information comforting, informative and heartwarming. It reiterates things we know, but focuses more on the "heart" and caring for a person. It reminds us how important it is to spend time with an individual. "Individual" is defined as the person's essence so that we focus on the real person instead of on their physical disabilities. Though this wasn't why I bought the book, it enhanced a lot of things for me.

This is a simply amazing book. It is wise and very inspiring. The main message I took away was that you don't have to be a licensed CMT to give healing through the touch: just connect with the person to whom you are giving touch, and keep your heart open. It addresses the ever increasing elderly population's needs for touch, and offers real solutions for healing and service. I felt like I imbibed Ms. Nelson's many years of spiritual practice through the pages, and as a result felt healed by proxy. I am more confident in my skills as a healer as a result of this book ( I am a yoga teacher). I will apply what I have learned about touching with presence and openness to my work as well as my life. Plus, my husband is really loving the benefits of my reading this book already, as I practice on him. Thanks to the author. A much-needed book.
