Energy therapy, also known as energy healing, spiritual healing, or energy medicine is a branch of alternative medicine that proposes that imbalances in the “energy field” within the human body cause disease. Therefore, any attempt to rebalance the energy field can help restore the health of the body.

Proponents of this therapy reveal that healing or treatment is about getting rid of blockages or negative energies in the mind. Furthermore, a later episode of ill health and illness presents itself as a release of “twitch” in the body and mind. Some modalities recommend additional treatment to completely cure the condition in severe or persistent cases. Therefore, the therapist would recommend conventional medicine.

Types of energy therapy

Energy therapy promotes the concept of a healer who has the ability to channel healing to a person seeking help, using different methods such as remote healing, manual healing, and hands-free healing. Also, energy therapy is non-denominational, which means that religious faith is not a prerequisite for receiving a cure.

Therapy can be distinguished between health care that involves observable energy (True Energy Medicine) and health care methods that invoke unverifiable or physically undetectable energies (Putative Energy Medicine).

Veritable Energy Medicine (VEM)

Types of VEM include color needling, light therapy, and magnetic therapy. Generally, conventional medicine that uses electromagnetic radiation (magnetic resonance imaging or radiation therapy) is not advanced as energy medicine.

Putative energy medicine (PEM)

Types of EMP include biological field healing therapy, in which the hands are used to modulate or direct the “energies” that are believed to bring about healing. The technique includes Psychic Healing, Spiritual Healing, Therapeutic Touch, Magnetic Healing, Esoteric Healing, Healing Touch, Qigong Healing, Pranic Healing, Reiki, Crystal Healing, Distance Healing, Ayurvedic Medicine, and Acupuncture.

Various terms have often been used to describe putative energy fields, such as Prana, Qi (Chi), Mana, Life Fluid, Pneuma, Orgone, Odic Force, etc. For example, Yoga is believed to alter the subtle pathways (Prana) in the body. However, yoga uses various actions, such as deep breathing and stretching, which are believed to manipulate energy.

Polarity therapy

This is a form of medicine that promotes the notion that an individual’s health is subject to both negative and positive charges within their electromagnetic field. As a result, polarity therapy advances as capable of curing various human ailments, from cancer to muscle tension. However, some recent research findings contradict claims that polarity therapy does treat diseases, including cancer.
