Therapeutic laying on of hands
Therapeutic laying on of hands is a complementary service designed to provide holistic support for patients, their carers and relatives. It focuses on mindful touch, mindfulness and inner calm to promote well-being and strengthen personal resources.
What is therapeutic laying on of hands?
Therapeutic laying on of hands differs from everyday touch, in particular, through the inner attitude of the person performing the laying on of hands. It is characterised by presence, mindfulness and respect. The touch is applied consciously and in a calm, attentive atmosphere.
When can therapeutic laying on of hands be helpful?
In principle, therapeutic laying on of hands can be used for all medical conditions. It can complement medical and nursing treatment and support well-being, but it is not a substitute for medical therapy.
The laying on of hands is embedded within a Christian-spiritual framework. The healing power is understood as a universal force rather than as the personal power of the person laying on hands.
Who offers therapeutic laying on of hands?
Therapeutic laying on of hands is offered by volunteers at Gesundheitswelt Zollikerberg. Patients, visitors and relatives can make use of this complementary service.
