A woman training in healing touch therapy says she tapped into the power of heart and mind to connect with a missing five-year-old child on Saturday and claims she lead searchers to where he was found.
The boy went missing just before 2 p.m. on April 10 while camping with family in the Oldman River Valley south of Picture Butte, Alta.
Carley Caruso said her mother sent her a text around 8 p.m. to tell her that her father and other family members had gone to the area to help search for the child.
Caruso, who grew up in Picture Butte — about 200 kilometres south of Calgary — said that’s when she decided to get grounded and see if she could tap into the boy’s energy, using healing touch therapy techniques.
Caruso says healing touch is an energy therapy in which practitioners consciously use their hands in a heart-centered and intentional way to support and facilitate physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health.
After working for five years as an environmental scientist, Caruso says she was forced to change careers due to health issues and started training in healing touch in 2019.
Once she was grounded and centered, Caruso says she was able to connect with the child’s energy.
“I started shivering, and my teeth started chattering and I just felt chilled to the bone,” she said.
