Greetings from Cynthia Hutchison 

Healing Touch Program Director 

Welcome to the February issue of Energy Magazine… 

Just yesterday I returned from a ten day visit to the Hawaiian islands where a Level 5 class that I taught was sandwiched 

by a few days on either end for exploring this beauteous land. I gratefully embraced some quality downtime and an opportunity 

for adventure and healing. Taking time for self-care is a major principle in the development of the Healing Touch 

Practitioner so the ten days without a computer was a welcome change and respite. 

One of my most treasured experiences occurred as I was leaving a quiet, pristine beach with 20 foot magnificent waves to 

drive to the airport for the departure back to Colorado. I said to my friend who was walking ahead of me for this (literally) 

last minute of my time on the beach “Oh, I wish I had a container to take some sand home with me”. Beverly was just fifteen 

feet in front of me leading the way back to the parking lot. In less than thirty seconds, she stopped and starting laughing 

out loud as I approached her with curiosity. I followed her eyes as she looked straight down to her feet to see a one gallon 

clear plastic bag ¾ buried under the sand generously brimming over with the beautiful tan-colored pure wet sand which 

was being washed over by the waves. My request was literally answered in approximately thirty seconds, not only with the 

container, but with the contents already supplied of what I wanted the container to hold. This event was the final exclamation 

mark of a life-enhancing ten days in this nurturing, etheric group of magical islands. I gleefully dug the bag out of the 

sand, released part of its contents and resealed the bag for travel back to Boulder, Colorado. 

I wish to impart to you the message the bag of sand had for me….Out of joy, gratitude and sincere desire for fullness of 

life and experience of beauty, express your heart’s wishes to “the Universe” (or whatever word works for you) and be open 

to surprises and answered prayers of unexpected and abundant dimensions… 

As I read this month’s articles of Energy Magazine I perceived the same themes I associate with my “bag of sand” story. 

Each author in writing about how HT changed his/her life was open to life’s offerings, finding lessons, beauty, truth and goodness 

in people, things and situations and each described surprise gifts that we know come to those with an open heart, mind 

and body. Thank you to Judy, Anne, Dave, Jackie, Marilee and Michaela for your inspiring stories of Healing Touch.

Staying Conscious 

Staying Conscious in 

an Unconscious World 

by Michaela Donohue, RN, CNM, MS, CHTP/I 

Are you one of those people who 

likes to zone out during your Healing 

Touch session? Do you go off into la 

la land? Or is it your partner or friend 

or client who likes that and who, 

perhaps, has no idea of his or her 

physical body, where its boundaries 

lie, how each part feels? 

I write this in the middle of the night on the one-year anniversary 

of my fall into unconsciousness, a fall in which I broke 

my arm leading to a chronic pain condition of the central 

nervous system. Not fun, I assure you, but resolving. 

It was a rainy, windy day and I raced outside to do something 

I had forgotten to do. The wind blew my umbrella 

inside out--it was that kind of a day. And I slipped, fell, and 

felt the kind of pain that told me it was a break. 

About a month later, I got in touch with my intuition and knew 

it was a lack of consciousness that caused my fall. That lack 

of consciousness still causes problems. And lately I’ve been 

dealing with pain in my hip. I know that pain is telling me 

something…that part of my body is unconscious and the 

pain is the messenger calling me to consciousness. 

I live in the DC area, an area of great unconsciousness. 

When you walk down the street it is common to note the 

signs of bodily unconsciousness…the head leads and the 

rest of the body follows. The person is deep in thought, 

probably the usual random thoughts, the ones that tend to 

take over, even during meditation. 

Last night I was awakened by a dream in which my brother-in-law’s 

partner was telling me she was worried about 

him. She had noticed that he was developing that telltale 

hump in his upper back. She was afraid he would fall. I 

agreed and knew it was important to teach him some ways 

of bringing this awareness to his body so he wouldn’t fall 

and be disabled. 

When I woke, I began to write. The following are some 

suggestions (for myself as well as for you) to bring us to 

greater bodily consciousness and therefore to greater 

awareness and mindfulness. 

When “out-for-a-walk,” practice focusing on each sense… 

seeing, hearing, feeling, smelling, and tasting. Focus on 

one sense at a time. It would probably be easiest to start 

with seeing, but for our purpose…begin with feeling. 

Start with the toes, bringing your attention to them, only 

the toes. Which can you feel? Which are unconscious? 

Move gradually up the legs, one at a time, noticing all 

aspects including the calves, back and front of the knees, 

front and back of the thighs, hips, buttocks and so on. 

Continue until you have brought attention to the whole 

body, one aspect at a time. Keep the other senses diminished, 

focusing only on feeling different aspects of the 

continued on page 7

Staying Conscious 

body. Then, if it’s a very long walk, try only seeing, only 

hearing (first close and then far away sounds), only tasting 

and only smelling. 

Use your massage table to give to and receive from your 

partner. Notice what his or her touch feels like, what pressure 

you like to give or receive, focusing first on just one 

part of the body. Then compare it to another part. Don’t try 

to do the whole body at one sitting. Ask for what you need. 

Stay aware the whole time. Take turns. 

If you have no partner, get on the table and imagine you 

are being touched in particular areas. Can you imagine 

someone pulling on your big toe? Do you have consciousness 

in your big toe? What about your lower back ribs on 

the left? Move the area to bring awareness, and then focus 

on it when it is still. What sensations do you feel? 

experiences with body consciousness. We’ll follow-up and 

perhaps print your ideas in our next article. What have you 

tried? What works for you? Do you think this is important, 

why or why not? E 

Michaela’s Bio: 

Michaela is a Healing Touch practitioner and instructor in 

the metropolitan Washington, DC area. Her career has 

included many years in the health care field as a nurse, 

nurse-midwife, university faculty member, co-founder of a 

healing center, writer, researcher and presenter at national 

conferences. Since she was introduced to therapeutic 

touch in the mid-eighties and healing touch in the early 

nineties, energy healing has been a focus of her work. 

Healing Touch is the center around which her use of other 

complementary modalities, especially sound, circle. She 

loves teaching and mentoring students and brings all of 

who she is to her work in the world. 

Receive an off-the-body HT session with your eyes closed. 

Give verbal feedback to the practitioner about your physical 

awareness. Were the practitioner’s hands in the area you felt 

shifts? Could you tell where his/her hands were? Did certain 

parts of your body become more conscious during the session? 

Did pain diminish? Increase? Be sure to let go of judgments 

and even attempts to understand or give meaning to 

your observations. Use one session just for this. 

Michaela has served Healing Touch International as a 

member of the Certification Review Panel and continues to 

promote the mission of spreading healing light worldwide.

Take a yoga class and try to spend the entire class time on 

awareness. Notice how often your attention wanders. 

Notice what parts of your body are asking for your attention. 

Spend some time each day massaging yourself—perhaps 

only 5 minutes. Focus this week on your feet, next week 

your lower legs, the following on your belly, etc. 

We are here at this time in physical body. There is a reason 

we were given this body. Appreciate it and love it. Pay attention 

to all its messages. Notice any areas that you reject. Be 

compassionate when it is having problems. Befriend it and 

ask its help when you need it to perform in a certain way. 

Forgive it when it doesn’t meet your expectations. 

Let’s stay in dialogue. Email me with your suggestions or

Completion, Celebration & Commitment 

“ 

Level 5 was a real fulfillment for me...I found various support groups. There 

were many connections, synchronicities and openings for me through 

these groups. I used the manifestation wheel from Level 4. This program is designed 

to bring magic into your life...We come to see that we are beings of Light that can 

help heal the world." 

- Level 5 student 

Level 5 is a time of completion, celebration and commitment to continued progress and 

excellence. Assignments which were completed during the apprenticeship period are 

submitted and evaluated for course completion. This session is designed to acknowledge 

the student’s work and offer constructive suggestions for continued improvement. 

Celebration occurs as the student is acknowledged, appreciated and validated for the 

dedicated work accomplished during the apprenticeship period. Upon satisfactory completion 

of all work, the student receives a Certificate of Completion for the Healing Touch 

Program and achieves the Healing Touch Practitioner status. (HTP) 

This class also prepares students to understand the certification process and criteria. 

Further steps toward certification as a Healing Touch Practitioner is optional. Level 5 

assists the student in evaluating their progress and level of commitment to the certification 

process. 

Who can take a 

Level 5 class? 

If you have a desire to complete the program and achieve Healing Touch Practitioner 

(HTP) status, this course if for you. 

Students who completed Levels 1-4 classes, and are in an active mentorship process as 

a Healing Touch apprentice; and have completed assignments listed in the Level 4 course 

materials may attend Level 5. 

The time between Level 4 and 5 became a personal journey. I am different 

now that i was at Level 4. Allow the personal journey to happen...I have 

learned to release judgments of others and of myself because I have become more 

heart-centered and I can now allow people to be who they really are." 

“- Level 5 student 

“ 

I felt overwhelmed at first with the homework to be done before level 5, but 

as i got into the process and the work, I learned how to respect the process 

and requirements. Everything we were given to do was profound. Trust in that."

Judy Turner and HTP 

Judy Turner 

and the Healing Touch Program 

by Judy Turner, RN, BS, HNC, CHTP/I 

A s I leave my administrative position 

with Healing Touch Program, I reflect on 

the 10 years of my employment, how I 

first met Janet Mentgen, and how this has 

shaped my life. My retirement is not really 

a leaving but a shift in emphasis, 

because I plan to teach more and include 

some volunteer work. I will remain on the 

HT Program Curriculum Committee along 

with Anne Day, Myra Tovey and Cynthia 

Hutchison. We will serve as the Wisdom 

Keepers. 

My initial interest in Healing Touch grew out of my desire 

to be a Holistic Nurse and to “walk my talk” many years 

ago. This led me to take Therapeutic Touch classes from 

Janet Mentgen and her associates in 1986. I became 

fascinated by what Janet could sense and perceive. I 

traveled from Greeley to Denver often, just to take her 

classes. I went to Shadowcliff at Grand Lake every year 

to attend her retreats. I met wonderful friends from 

around the country who then grew with me into becoming 

Healing Touch Instructors. I think I wanted to 

become an Instructor from my very first class. so that I 

could inspire people the way Janet had inspired me and 

so many others. 

I moved to Denver in 1989 to pursue certification as a 

Practitioner and Instructor because it was only offered 

there at that time. Janet was constantly challenging me 

with new horizons and new opportunities but she never 

said “You should do this or that”. It was always presented 

as a possibility. In an effort to repay her generosity 

and kindness, I volunteered to help her with some of the 

paperwork associated with her increasing teaching 

schedule. This then grew into 4 to 6 of us who met weekly 

at Janet’s house to stuff envelopes, fold fliers, stamp 

mailings and assemble handouts. Within a few months 

Janet said she felt she was now financially able to hire a 

secretary and she chose Francina Ortiz, who had been 

part of this weekly group. 

As I was moving through my 10 weeks of Level 3A and 

3B (now known as 4 and 5), Janet encouraged me to 

take all the classes of Level 1, 2A (2) and 2B (3) again. I 

got into the habit of attending every class that was 

offered in the Denver area. My life was becoming totally 

focused on Healing Touch. I enjoyed the excitement of 

seeing people open to new ”Aha’s” and possibilities for 

their lives. I learned something new every time myself. 


TM 



Janet invited me to go to the first Instructor Training (Level 4) 

at Shadowcliff in Grand Lake in 1990 even though I was not 

a certified practitioner as yet. She said it would be good for 

me to meet everyone and begin to prepare to become an 

instructor. It was a life changing event as many can attest to. 

Some of my dearest friendships were started at that class. I 

subsequently went to the next two Instructor Trainings at 

Shadowcliff as I was preparing for my certifications as a 

CHTP and CHTI. 

My “day job” as she called it was as a Nursing Supervisor on 

the evening shift at a nearby Psychiatric Hospital. I started at 

a 32 hour a week position so I could develop my HT practice 

and I cut back to 28 hours so I could manage the HT clinic 

on Tuesday evenings. I suggested to Janet that we have it 

every other Tuesday and she said “No, it must be every 

week. Be consistent and people will count on it and come” 

(Hmmmm, If you build it, they will come). My teaching 

assignments started increasing and I was being challenged 

to switch week-ends more frequently with my job share partner. 

She was good about it but I began to feel guilty. In spring 

of 1997, Janet asked if I was now willing to leave my “day

and Myra Tovey. 

job” and join her staff full time. I said I’d like to do that and 

what would my title be? She said “Program Director”. So 

after we agreed on hours, salary and job responsibilities, I left 

and told Francina, “I’m the new Program Director”. She said 

“No Judy, you can’t be, that is Janet’s title!” So I went back 

to Janet and we finally agreed on the title “Program 

Coordinator”. I still laugh at that. Janet was so unconcerned 

about image and titles. 

Above: Judy Turner demostrating a Healing Touch technique to 

students in Peru. 

My teaching schedule increased and I was gone about twice 

a month. Basically our office time was Tuesday, Wednesday 

and Thursday. I was grateful that we had had the earlier years 

to build the base of how to teach the program. It isn’t what I 

know or what I say but how to teach it in a way that captures 

the imagination of the student so that they want to learn 

more and more. This I learned from Janet. I was fascinated 

by how she did this and I wanted to emulate her. I loved 

doing Healing Touch but teaching it so others came to love 

doing it (and then maybe teach it as well), was a challenge, a 

goal, a mission. Janet was my model, my mentor, my friend. 

After several trips and vacations to Sanibel, Florida to visit 

my high school sweetheart, Jack, I told Janet I thought I 

wanted to move to Florida yet I would be sad to leave the job 

I loved. She was very supportive, and said things like “These 


TM 



are the best years of your life”, “You aren’t getting any 

younger”, “You deserve to have some fun in your life” and 

“Your job is mostly done on the phone and e-mails and you 

can do that job from anywhere. Let’s set up a home office for 

you in Florida”. We shortened my hours per week and we 

pledged to talk to each other on a weekly basis. 

When Janet’s health started failing in the summer of 2003, I 

wasn’t sure what my role would be. Finally I decided to 

spend the summer months in Denver, renting an apartment 

from a friend. I feel privileged to have been with her a great 

deal during her last months. We reminisced often, I read her 

cards and letters out loud to her and we would recall when 

we had been with that person. We both loved hearing from 

our students all over the country and world. We both loved 

the work. So when she made her transition, I wasn’t sure 

what my “next mission” was to be. One never can go back. 

Cynthia was ready and willing to take up the challenge of 

being the Program Director so I offered to be her “assistant” 

for awhile. However, the Administration of Healing Touch 

Program felt that this was not an appropriate title and so we 

thought about it until we came up with “Director of Program 

Integrity”. Basically, will the decisions we make be in integrity 

with the Intention of the program? I thought “Wow, can I 

do this?” So Cynthia and I plowed ahead, taking on one project 

after another until it was time to return to Florida last 

Christmas. My future was calling. The time to shift had come. 

My resignation was the culmination of 10 years of service to 

this program and to Janet. Now it is time for me to enjoy the 

rewards of this labor which for me is teaching…it is my greatest 

joy. Also, I love to travel and Jack also loves traveling with 

me so we look forward to each new invitation and communication 

as an opportunity to meet new people, share in the 

wisdom of Healing Touch and see new places.

almost every question that arose; Judy knew almost all of 

the instructors personally; Judy has a thousand Janet stories; 

and Judy can articulately and comprehensively 

assess the big picture of HT questions and issues to 

manifest a win:win scenario for all parties involved. Judy 

has always been there for me during my recent years as 

the assistant program director to Janet and as the program 

director since May 2005. And she continues to be 

there for me as a friend and colleague, despite her formal 

resignation. 

With heartfelt thanks 

to Judy Turner, Director of Program Integrity 

A Note from Cynthia Hutchison, HT Program Director 

I knew the day would come when Judy would announce to 

me that it was time to have more fun and relaxation in her 

life (being the joyful and funloving woman that she is), but 

I kept hoping that time would be in the distant future long 

after the transition period was over and all the things we 

hoped to put into place for our students and instructors 

would be there. 

I am grateful that she shared with you all, the readers of 

Energy Magazine, this informal personal story about her 

history with Healing Touch. It is written as if she is sitting 

down with you and me over a cup of tea. That’s Judy 

style….a hug, a heart of friendship, always kind words, 

hope and good will. Thank you Judy! Although I miss our 

frequent phone calls, I am so delighted that you are relishing 

these fine years of your life with the people and experiences 

you love so much! E 

Judy’s decision to resign before last Christmas was a 

bittersweet moment for me. As her friend, I wanted her 

to enjoy her life, her relationship, her friends and her 

teaching to the fullest extent possible (Judy lives a very 

full physical, emotional, mental and spiritual life!). As her 

colleague in administration in the HT Program, it was difficult 

to give her my blessing to move on because of the 

loving, constant and dedicated support she has shown 

to me and to the stabalization and advancement of our 

beloved program. 

Judy always took on projects enthusiastically and with a 

great sense of humor; Judy always knew the history of

HT Empowering Lives 


by Anne L. Day, RN, MA, HNC, CHTP/I 

My travels to Peru December 

1–3, 2006 to teach a Healing Touch Level 

4 class was an incredible experience! It 

was a time of personal expansion of consciousness, 

as I experienced (along with 

my husband Larry) how challenging it is to 

live in a third world country. The extremes 

of poverty were very difficult to witness. 

However, amidst the communities of the 

poor were very bright lights of the spiritual 

strength of many, many people there. 

Photo: Level 4 students and Instructors in Peru 

In Lima I was honored to work with three very dedicated 

Healing Touch Instructors who have taught HT to thousands 

of people, and who were ready to be trained to 

teach HT Level 4 classes. These women, from Catholic 

Religious Communities around the world were Carol 

Reamer, originally from Ohio, Eileen Kearney, from Ireland 

and Emiliana González Sanllorente, from Spain. All have 

been in Peru 13 – 20 years, working with the poor and the 

disadvantaged. Margaret Kehoe and Nita Alvarado are 

also in training to become HT instructors. 

Since 2000, when Mary Jo Bulbrook and Sister Barbara 

Cavanaugh brought the first Healing Touch class to Peru, 


TM 



there have been 5,000 people from all over South America 

who have taken HT classes. Thirty students have completed 

Level 5. Emiliana is now assigned to an area in northern 

Peru, where many of the women who come to HT classes 

often have to canoe 6 hours! There is a strong interest in 

Healing Touch and a willingness to come long distances 

for a class. Other instructors who have contributed to 

Spreading the Light of Healing Touch in Peru are: Carol 

Kinney, Donna Duff, Judy Turner and Cynthia Hutchison. 

On a tour of one of the poor communities there, we were 

privileged to see a new children’s center that was just getting 

ready to open. Amidst the shanties that shared walls 

with this center, the beauty and energy that radiated from 

this place was remarkable. Instead of the usual bars on the 

windows, they had beautiful wrought iron angels, obviously 

shifting the energy of the light from the challenging poor 

environment outside…to a place of healing within. 

Just before I arrived in Lima, a big article had been published 

in a prominent Lima paper featuring the HT work 

that Eileen and Margaret are doing in this poor community. 

It was written by a journalist who is a friend of a man 

with AIDS who had wonderful healing through the regular 

HT treatments he is receiving at their therapy center. Their 

phones were ringing off the hooks with interest in HT treatments 

and classes! They just wrote to tell me that they are 

now being featured in a TV report on Tele Mundi, a division 

of NBC. So the HT publicity is really expanding in Peru! 

At the Level 4 class, six students who had completed Level 

5 came to share with the Level 4 class the last day. Their profile 

books and homework were of very high quality. Again, the 

stories of how HT has changed their lives brought me to 

tears. As I watched the healing work of the students in the 

class, I was assured that they are being taught well with very 

high standards for learning pure Healing Touch. 

We met beautiful women, who had either completed Level 

5 or were in the process of taking classes, who gave HT 

treatments to many people in their community. The stories 

of how HT was changing their lives were amazing! For the 

first time, many of them were becoming aware of a whole 

new world as they read the books on the recommended 

reading list. They were gaining new respect from their husbands 

and children on how they were helping themselves, 

their families and their community with HT. 

I am totally committed to support these people and the great 

work they are doing. I realize now in a way that I had not 

comprehended before going to Peru, the importance of all of 

us supporting their HT path all the way through certification. 

The Sisters who have devoted their lives to helping the 

Peruvians will not be there forever. We need the native peo- 

Below: iron angels looking out at poverty. 

As one of the women who had completed Level 5 this year 

told us the story of her case study, I was very impressed by 

the fine healing work that she was doing. Her case study 

was a man dying of AIDS, who couldn’t walk and had sores 

all over his face when he first started coming to her a year 

ago. Within 3 months, he began to change dramatically. By 

the end of one year, he was walking, had no sores on his 

face and felt like he had a new life! The pride of this woman 

and her instructors brought tears to my eyes! I believe that 

the purity of spirit of these people brings the healing work to 

a very profound level very quickly. 


TM 



ple to become certified so that some of them can become 

instructors and continue to “Spread the Light of Healing 

Touch”. 

We need the help of any CHTPs who can speak Spanish to 

be mentors for the people who want to become certified in 

Peru. It would involve monthly contacts by e-mail with the 

instructors who are mentoring students there, and who will 

give summary reports and pursue questions that need assistance 

to answer. 

I have volunteered to be the supervising nurse mentor to all 

those who completed the Level 4 class with me in Lima. 

They will work with their local mentors, who will then give me 

regular reports through e-mail communication. I feel confident 

that this will be a joyful and satisfying service. I ask all 

of you to consider how you can serve to support our international 

development. It truly is a gift that will have worldwide 

effects as more hearts are opened to the energy of unconditional 

love and the oneness of our core star light. E

The Certified Healing Touch Pin 

The meaning of the CHTP Pin that is given as a gift to those 

that become Certified Healing Touch Practitioners is symbolic 

for its shape and color. 

The round shape represents Unity and Community. 

The color white represents Purity of Purpose, the 

Blue represents Clear Communication from the 

Higher Realms and the Gold works to Stimulate 

Balance and Healing. It was developed by Janet 

Mentgen and staff to recognize the work the Practitioner 

had done and to symbolize to the world 

that this person is a competent practitioner. 

It was established that the pin ONLY be given in 

ceremony and therefore it is not mailed to the individual but 

available only through the Certified Instructors. The recognition 

given by the Peers is as important as the pin itself.

A Rocket Scientist? 

A Rocket Scientist 

in Healing Touch? 

By David Barnett 

During introductions in each of my 

Healing Touch classes, that is the standard 

rhetorical question and it is usually 

followed by laughter and raised eyebrows! 

Combine that with being one of 

the few guys in the class and it takes on 

an even stranger quality. This always 

leads into good-natured kidding from the 

instructor about “not having to be a rocket 

scientist to do Healing Touch.” There 

actually are a number of advantages 

coming from the physical science side 

and doing this work. We’ll talk about 

those further on. 

My background includes bachelor’s degrees in electrical 

engineering and psychology and master’s degrees in bioelectrical 

sciences and computer science. Toss in a pilot’s 

license, being a scuba divemaster, working in aerospace 

for 27 years and seven patents in microspacecraft and you 

start to get the feeling that I’ve touched a few areas. The 

best part about this (besides obviously helping many universities’ 

budgets) is that somebody who tries to say 

there’s nothing to energy medicine cannot easily dismiss 

me because I can cite many theoretical and physical models 

for how it may work. 

I seriously started pursuing Healing Touch following a very 

interesting chance meeting at my tenth high school 

reunion. An old friend, whom I hadn’t seen for awhile, 

approached me and talked about what he had been doing 

since graduation. He asked if I had followed my plans to 

become an engineer and I replied that I had. He started 

talking around a subject including the possibility of changing 

things remotely. 

When I finally pinned him down, he said that he could 

affect electronic devices at a distance. What a match for 

me! We went to his house and he started demonstrating 

what he could do: stalling another car in traffic, changing 

traffic lights and hotel marquis signs, permanently lowering 

the electric meter rate on a house, and changing the output 

of the radio station where he worked. If we could think 

of it, he could affect it. To put it lightly…I was stunned. 

When I returned home to Denver, I became seriously 

involved in reading, attending lectures and classes, going 

to meditation sessions, and generally exploring metaphysical 

concepts and phenomena. Along the way, I took the 

sequence of Therapeutic Touch classes (early 1980s) and 

started working with clients in a limited fashion. 

This was fascinating work for me because I could perceive 

the energy fields physically and the experiences were validated 

with blind testing/evaluation on clients brought in by 


TM 



the instructor. In one class, I “knew” as soon as I saw the 

client that she had abdominal problems and during scanning, 

it came to me that her colon was diseased. She was 

suffering from diverticulitis. Wow! This stuff really works. I 

couldn’t wait to try it on more people. 

Now, think about this…a card-carrying 

aerospace engineer in the 1980’s 

was not a great candidate to hang 

out an energy medicine shingle. So, 

I kept it to family and friends. But the 

story doesn’t end there. 

In 2005, a lot of big spiritual things started firing up my life 

(again, no such thing as a coincidence). I attended a Sonia 

Choquette conference and was called on twice! I took the 

training to be a Psych-K practitioner (a fast and effective 

method for changing core beliefs in the subconscious). 

My refresher also included taking Healing Touch Level 1 in 

a holistic health program at a local college and then taking 

Levels 2 - 4 in 2006. It was like getting to know an old 

friend again and catching up on what had changed in the 

intervening years. 

Those intervening years were also filled with much more 

reading and studying in the exotic world of quantum 

mechanics and its implications in the metaphysical realm. 

This provided the opportunity for much thoughtful exploration 

into energy work. 

What could comprise a “field” around a person? What 

mechanisms exist for distance healing? What are my 

views on what energy levels and vibrational frequencies 

really imply? 

Based on recommendations from the Level I class, I 

read Hands of Light by Barbara Brennan and The Field 

by Lynn McTaggart. These books, combined with my 

previous reading, provided a great foundation for 

speaking with those in the energy healing area and also 

with those who were new to the concepts. (When talking 

to hardcore engineers, I follow a different tack.) 

For example, electrical engineers years ago began using 

some very high-speed semiconductor devices that rely on 

the “tunneling” effect. Tunneling comes from quantum 

mechanics and is based on the concept that an object (in 

this case, an electron) has a finite probability of suddenly 

showing up in a different place. 

In the electronics device, this effect is enhanced. 

However, this also applies to an object of any mass. There 

is actually a small probability that you, the reader, will suddenly 

pop into my living room. Nothing prohibits this theoretically. 

With this knowledge, it gets a little harder to categorically 

deny energy medicine on the basis of not making 

sense. 

Going further, when physicists follow the particle hierarchy 

downwards from molecules to atoms to protons and electrons, 

things get very strange around electrons and then 

especially the subatomic particles. You can’t “see” electrons 

and smaller particles because a light wave hits them 

like a Mac truck. Therefore, other experiments are created 

to locate them and observe their interactions. 

This behavior becomes very strange where particles blink 

out and look like waves of energy and particles come and 

go like fish leaping out of the sea. This really starts to get 

at the heart of what we’re doing in Healing Touch when 

working with energies that are very hard for us to define 

and to see that these “waves” of energy extend without 

limit in what we think of as a physical universe. 

Regardless of how it works, I see a tremendous future for 

alternative medicine and Healing Touch as the population 

continues to get older, drug prices and drug interaction 

problems continue to rise, and people become more 

drawn to a very personal approach to healing. 

I find Healing Touch a great way to support others and help 

them progress through their health challenges. Is it a 

placebo effect? I don’t care – the field of psychoneuroimcontinued 

on page 23 

TM 



munology has provided clear indications of the stretch of 

the human brain in tying into chemical and nervous reactions 

throughout the body. Thinking does affect health. 

People can choose the model that works in their belief 

structure and we’ll continue helping clients when they 

show up. As I write this, I have completed arrangements to 

volunteer at a Denver psychiatric nursing home. I doubt if 

the residents who receive Healing Touch will care about 

the theory versus just having someone who is interested in 

them. I will keep you updated on how a new volunteer project 

progresses and the lessons learned. E 

David’s Bio: 

Dave is an honest-to-goodness rocket scientist and still 

enjoys the surprise on people’s faces in Healing Touch 

classes. He lives with his wife, Cindy, in Littleton, CO 

where they enjoy being first-time grandparents. Dave has 

been involved with alternative healing since the early 

1980’s (Therapeutic Touch) and has worked in many 

modalities. Most recently, Dave has become a Psych-K 

practitioner and finds that this is very complementary to 

Healing Touch. Dave recently completed Level 4 and is 

working towards Level 5 and certification. 

Dave works with clients in both the Denver and Ft. Collins 

areas. He networks with several groups and is working on 

developing a free clinic within a local psychiatric nursing 

home. His expertise includes ongoing work in being a 

medical intuitive and extensive experience in distance 

healing using all modalities. 

Dave continues with his work in aerospace consulting for 

the US Air Force and his previous employer, Lockheed 

Martin and he is also an adjunct professor in engineering 

and computer science at a local university. His other interests 

include creating bronze sculptures, wood turning and

Featured HT Instructor 

Featured Healing Touch Instructor: 

Jackie Mielke BS, CHTP/I, CAHI 

This article is taken from Jackie’s responses to an 

interview by the editor. 

M y journey to Healing Touch began in 

1984 when I became acquainted with a 

charter member of AHNA during a hospice 

volunteer training class. In 1987 she 

invited me to be on a planning committee 

to form a Minnesota chapter of AHNA. It 

was to that group that the first instructors, 

Ann Day and Judy Turner, came to teach 

Healing Touch Level 1 in October, 1992. 

Above: Jackie Mielke, BS, CHTP/I, CAHI 

In addition, my HT journey has taken me to conferences in 

Colorado and California; and to Las Vegas and North 

Carolina for Level 2 and Level 3 instructor training. 

As a student in that Level 1 workshop, I instantly knew that 

I wanted to become certified in Healing Touch, both as a 

practitioner and as an instructor. 

I now teach Levels 1, 2, and 3 in a variety of settings - colleges, 

medical centers, clinics, monasteries, hospitals - 

predominantly in Minnesota. I have also taught in North 

Dakota, Iowa, Nebraska, and have committed to teaching 

in northern Wisconsin and northern Michigan. 

My philosophy on healing is the hospice philosophy in that 

healing relates to becoming whole and one may attain that 

wholeness without being physically cured. Conversely, one 

can be medically cured and still not be healed. 

For me personally, healing is tackling the issues represented 

in the spiritual, mental, emotional and vital/etheric layers 

of the energy field. Healing is attitudinal, fearless, a 

recognition of the spiritual essence of self as the core self. 


TM 



Healing is also letting go of the old, the useless, the no 

longer necessary and training ourselves to call our Spirit 

back (Myss). 

Finally, healing is Trusting the Universe and simultaneously 

becoming a full partner in the healing process. 

One of my most unique teaching experiences occurred in 

1998, a year after becoming a Certified Healing Touch 

Instructor. I was teaching Level 1 at a community college 

in a rural area. The continuing education director had 

gained special permission from HT for some of the students 

to take the workshop for credit and some for CE 

contact hours. Law Enforcement was the class taught during 

the week in our workshop space. The walls were covered 

with pictures of weapons and wanted criminals. 

There were 5 helpers and every one of them was necessary 

to help me hold the energy. 

 

The class was evenly divided between college students 

taking HT for credit and nurses attending for continuing 

education. The class began on Friday evening and from 

the beginning the two groups were at loggerheads--the 

nurses would contribute something and the students 

would roll their eyes; the kids would offer their view and the 

nurses sighed and gave each other meaningful looks. 

The helpers and I came early both Saturday and 

Sunday mornings to clear and consecrate the space 

again and remained vigilant throughout the day to keep 

the energy grounded. By Sunday afternoon, I was looking 

forward to 5pm and the end of this Level 1. That is 

when a shift occurred. 

The class was experiencing the Heart to Heart 

Meditation--I was holding the energy, timing the exercise, 

and wondering what I could have done differently to help 

this class bond energetically. I glanced around the room 

and discovered a miracle had happened! Every college 

student was paired with a nurse! I had watched as they 

chose their partners, but it didn't dawn on me, until this 

moment…that this segmented class had finally merged 

and the helpers and I had nothing to do with it. My "aha" 

moment was realizing, with wonder and gratitude, that 

Spirit/Guidance is as much involved in the teaching of 

HT as in the practice of HT! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

With regard to my own unique contributions…three come 

to mind. I have been teaching adult education since 

1979, I have worked in hospice since 1984, and, I am not 

a nurse. I haven't always viewed the latter as an advantage! 

A growing awareness that some students were 

drawn to workshops BECAUSE of my background taught 

me that I have unique contributions to offer the Healing 

Touch Program as instructor and mentor. 

My advice to a new instructor is to maintain a thriving practice 

with as many different patient populations as possible! 


TM 



These rich experiences produce valuable teaching examples 

for each of the techniques. 

When someone is thinking of taking a HT class I key in to 

their reason for considering Healing Touch and speak specifically 

to that. Is it for self care? Are they caring for a friend or 

relative? Are they considering a job change? Do they want to 

augment their value to their present employer? What is their 

interest in complementary therapies? Is it to restore or implement 

a healing ministry in a church setting? Are they searching 

for a different career? 

In my experience, prospective students usually have specific 

questions about whether HT will fill their particular needs. 

My vision with regard to the future of Healing Touch is the 

same as I tell practitioners when they ask what I think about 

them becoming instructors. (They express concern that the 

field will be too crowded or that they could not support themselves.) 

Until we are teaching regular classes in every hospital, 

clinic, medical center, college, university, long term care 

facility and church in the state, (nation/world) the instructor 

field is not saturated. Also, until we are providing Healing 

Touch in every medical facility, we need to hold that vision. E

Vibrate What You Want 

We can vibrate anything we want 

into our lives, including money. 

Healing Touch practitioners should be 

able to grasp this concept more than 

most people. All energetic principles are 

the same no matter what the intention. In 

Healing Touch, since we are nursing 

based, we are accustomed to working 

with the intention of balancing the energy 

field for good health on all levels – body, 

mind, and spirit. But we can use our 

knowledge, skills, and the energetic principles 

we work with, and apply it to anything, 

including money. 

The Trick to Money is Having Some 

When I was writing my thesis on the energy of money in 

1995-96, I referenced a book by Stuart Wilde that was 

entitled “The Trick to Money is Having Some”. At first this 

made no sense to me. It wasn’t until I applied energetic 

principles and Universal Laws to this concept that I was 

able to understand and apply how this works. 

Like Attracts Like 

The Law of Attraction tells us that “like attracts like”. So, 

as it applies to money, the more money we have – the 

more we get. Haven’t you heard the saying “the rich get 

richer and the poor get poorer”? This speaks to the Law of 

Attraction. 

What if we don’t have much money to begin with? – then 

based on this principle - how can we create money? We 

can create money with the decision to hold in our mind 

good positive abundant thoughts that say we are grateful 

for the money we have. Bring in the emotional body here 

to ‘feel good’ about what we do have. The ‘feel good’ will 

vibrate in more of the same. 

Our thoughts are what magnetize our energy field. We can 

decide to either think positive or negative thoughts. The 

easy way to do this is to first begin to witness what the 

thoughts are and if they are negative, then make a conscious 

effort to change them to positive. 

Affirmations are powerful. Many times people complain 

that they can’t affirm for something that they feel is impossible 

for them to have. It’s important to remember that the 

subconscious mind doesn’t know the difference between 


TM 



real or imagined circumstances – so we can take advantage 

of that and use our imaginations to trick our subconscious. 

This is something you can have fun with! 

Charge Your Energy Field with Your Dreams 

Dream all the dreams you want! Dreaming and letting your 

imagination soar can charge your field with the vibration of 

things that you want to attract. And more of that begets 

more. 

Share This Concept with Others 

Thanks to the popularity of the recent movie “The Secret”, 

which is based on the Law of Attraction, many minds are 

shifting to the awareness of the possibility that we can create 

what we want in our lives. The more people who know 

about this and share it with others the better because this 

will help create a critical mass that can elevate all of our 

consciousnesses and help us all become closer to our cocreative 

selves. E
