  I’m honored to share our latest Member Spotlight interview with Bonnie Thompson, HTCP, CECP/CBCP—a Healing Touch Certified Practitioner, certified Emotion Code/Body Code practitioner, teacher, and presenter whose work blends Healing Touch with a variety of complementary approaches to support healing and nervous system regulation.

  Since beginning her journey in energy medicine in 2006, Bonnie has developed a practice that integrates Healing Touch, Emotion Code, Body Code, EFT Tapping, Family Constellations, polyvagal theory, and other energy-based approaches. Through years of working with clients and teaching practitioners, she has gained valuable insights into the importance of understanding the nervous system, listening deeply to each client's story, and supporting the body's natural capacity for healing. In this thoughtful and practical conversation, Bonnie shares the experiences, tools, and lessons that have shaped her Healing Touch journey.

  Bonnie's perspective is a wonderful reminder that Healing Touch continues to grow and evolve alongside the practitioner, and that expanding our knowledge and skills can deepen the care we provide to those we serve.

  In this interview, you'll learn:

  • What led Bonnie to discover Healing Touch and begin her Healing Touch journey

  • How her Healing Touch practice has evolved and expanded over the years

  • An introduction to Polyvagal Theory and why it can be a valuable tool for Healing Touch practitioners

  • A simple Vagus Balance technique you can use for yourself and with clients

  • How Bonnie integrates Emotion Code, Body Code, Family Constellations, EFT Tapping, and other healing modalities into her practice

  • What she's learned about understanding a client's history and experiences during the intake process

  • How Healing Touch has transformed her personally and the challenges she's overcome along the way

  • A preview of her presentations coming up at the Healing Touch Worldwide Foundation Summit and the HTPA Healing Touch Conference

  This conversation offers practical tools, professional insight, and encouragement for practitioners looking to expand their skills, deepen their understanding of clients, and continue growing their Healing Touch practice.

  This interview can be found on the Member Spotlight page of the member site and is available to HTPA Community and Professional Members.

  Luminous Life

  By Jacob Israel Liberman

  HT Reading Category: Energy Medicine/Holistic Health

  
  

  About the Book:

  The secrets of light ― Your pathway to a state of presence

  Seeking a state of presence: The most important things in life are our health and happiness. Yet most of us are neither healthy nor happy. We have been led to believe that if we think ahead and make the right choices, we can manifest our dreams. Yet despite our best efforts, we still have more disease and discontent than ever before. Is it possible that our essential ideas about life are flawed? Can we learn how to get into the zone or a flow state? Is light the key to finding a state of presence?

  Living in the light: We are all aware of the impact of sunlight on a plant’s growth and development. But few of us realize that a plant actually “sees” where light is emanating from and positions itself to be in optimal alignment with it. This phenomenon, however, is not just occurring in the plant kingdom ― humans are also fundamentally directed by light.

  The intersection of science and spirituality: In Luminous Life, Dr. Jacob Israel Liberman integrates scientific research, clinical practice, and direct experience to demonstrate how the luminous intelligence we call light effortlessly guides us toward health, contentment, and a life filled with purpose.

  If you have read Barbara Brennan’s Hands of Light or Light Emerging, you’re going to love Jacob Liberman’s Luminous Life.

  The Heart Speaks

  By Mimi Guarneri

  HT Reading Category: Energy Medicine/Holistic Health

  
  

  About the Book:

  Every day, 2,600 Americans die of cardiovascular disease—and despite remarkable interventional and surgical procedures, over 650,000 new heart attacks occur annually.
  
  In The Heart Speaks, Dr. Mimi Guarneri reveals groundbreaking new research that the heart is a multilayered, complex organ, possessing intelligence, memory, and decision-making abilities independent from the mind—and that healing the heart can have more to do with healing the mind and soul than we ever knew.
  
  From childhood in a family riddled with heart disease to a medical career facing the pounding heartbeats of cardiac emergencies, Dr. Guarneri draws us into the intimate moments of life and death, and leads us on a riveting exploration of the heart's many mysteries. Through her compelling memoir we see that it is only by knowing the whole heart—its mental, emotional, spiritual, and universal aspects—that we can truly heal.

  
  

  About the Author:

  Dr. Mimi Guarneri is founder and medical director of Scripps Center for Integrative Medicine and has been an attending physician in cardiovascular disease at Scripps Clinic since 1995. Dr. Guarneri is the author of numerous articles that have appeared in such journals as the Annals of Internal Medicine and the Journal of Echocardiology. She has been nominated for the Bravewell Award in IM Leadership and honored by the American Heart Association. She is board certified in cardiology and internal medicine. She lives in La Jolla, California.

  How the Practice Circle Works

  • Participants are invited to bring client cases or questions

  • Group discussion and peer input are encouraged

  • Facilitators offer guidance and technique suggestions as needed

  • Emphasis is on exploration, reflection, and practical application

  The Practice Circle is a more flexible, discussion-based experience focused on integration and shared learning:

  This is a collaborative space to learn from each other and grow in your confidence as a practitioner.

  
  

  Tips for a Smooth Experience

  • If you prefer not to join a breakout room, please exit the meeting before breakout sessions begin to avoid delays for the group
