Energy medicine is a practice where a healer uses their hands to channel energy into a person’s body to help restore balance and improve health. This approach, which has roots in ancient traditions like Vedic and Chinese medicine, has recently caught the attention of researchers.
Pranic healing is a form of energy healing where practitioners work with the energy centers, or chakras, to balance the energy and heal disease “from the inside out.” It is not connected to a particular religion or culture but instead built on the philosophy that the body can self-heal given the right conditions.
Reiki healing is effective and wildly popular – so much so that it has been incorporated into healthcare services across the US.
Energy medicine techniques refer to the manipulation of subtle energies associated with the body to help improve health and well-being. These energies may go by names such as qi, chi, prana, etheric energy, and more. The goal of energy healing therapy is to restore a normal energy balance, which is thought to be connected to good health.
What is energy healing? What is energy medicine, and could science explain quantum healing? Does Reiki work?
Energy healing is an ancient practice found in cultures and creeds throughout history. There are a few basic assumptions that lay the groundwork for energy-based healing modalities:
IONS completed a large pilot study of 17 energy medicine practitioners giving sessions to people with hand and wrist pain. One unique aspect of this pilot study was that one clairvoyant seer recorded observations during the almost 200 sessions. However, one limitation of these interesting results was that it was only with one seer. IONS has launched a new study building on this previous work that focuses on Reiki practitioners and including six seers!

Featuring IONS Scientist, Dr. Garret Yount
This past year the Institute of Noetic Sciences embarked on one of the largest and most complex research projects in its history, the Exceptional Healers Pilot Study. For several months, the EarthRise campus hosted a succession of 17 subtle energy practitioners versed in a wide variety of modalities, each of whom spent a week conducting healing sessions with nearly 200 subjects seeking relief from the pain of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. IONS scientist Dr. Garret Yount led the research team conducting this ambitious project, with all the IONS scientists playing important roles in various aspects of the study. Phase 1 of the study is now complete and we’re excited to share some preliminary results.
One of the more popular alternative treatments for physical pain and emotional distress is Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), a form of energy psychology often referred to as “tapping.” It combines elements of methods like cognitive therapy with acupressure, utilizing a tapping motion focusing on the meridian points that are best known in Chinese medicine. It’s practiced by approximately 20-million people worldwide, and evidence supporting its effectiveness has been reported in numerous studies published in peer-reviewed biomedical journals.
