Energy Therapies Current energy therapies comprise a broad range of hands-on healing modalities, ranging from Reiki, Healing Touch and Emotional Freedom Tech- niques (tapping), to an increasing array of hybrids. The Energy Medicine In- stitute (
EnergyMed.org), in Ashland, Oregon, notes that energy medicine can employ a variety of non-invasive methods intended to trigger the body’s natural healing powers, working to activate energies that have become weakened, dis- turbed or unbalanced. According to the
