Healing-related Therapies

It will have already become apparent that most alternative healing processes involve the harnessing and channelling of energy from the healer to the patient.

This energy is often perceived in different ways, whether it is believed to be life force, prana, ch'i, divine force, psychic or electromagnetic energy. Some say they can actually see this energy, while most sense it in a more abstract, intangible way.

There are many ways in which we can develop and expand the five senses to which we are limited in order to become sensitive to the energy vibrations that surround us somewhere where physics and mysticism meet. By tuning in to the rhythms of the universe we can learn to co-operate with nature's innate healing capacity.

Here are several interconnected therapies, all of which respond to the vibrations of the life-energy around us. They also all are complementary to, and indeed contain elements of, spiritual and faith healing. Some of the same methods are employed in each of them, but they all harness and channel energy differently.
