Energy healers use techniques such as laying on of hands, prayer, and positive thinking to heal patients. The explanation for this type of healing is not very clear yet physicians accept that it exists. Many cultures and religions have used these techniques throughout history to heal their sick. In 1993, an American psychiatrist published a work in which he motivates modern medicine to investigate more about this technique. He states that there is much evidence to support that energy healing does work.

Basics of Energy Healing:

• Generally, the healing power is attributed to a supreme being.
• Other healers attribute the power to spirits of deceased people.
• Some say that they heal using the human aura, a layer of color surrounding the body.

How does energy healing work?

The healer concentrates and relaxes. Most use their hands as a tool to transmit the healing power. The healer goes over the patient’s body using his/her hands to detect imbalances in the energy field of the person.

When is it used?

To treat anxiety and stress, hasten healing of wounds, and to treat diseases in general whether they are chronic or serious.

Precautions:

Healers should never ask the patient to believe in them unconditionally, nor say that you need to have blind faith in them so that the treatment works. Beware of those who say that in return for a gift of money you will receive healing.
