Fatigue can be a complicated matter that affects many body systems. Even after you have improved your gut health, made dietary changes, and added essential nutrients, you might still suffer from low energy and fatigue. In these circumstances, you may consider consulting with an energy practitioner. Energy healing is a gentle, noninvasive therapeutic approach to regaining balance. This holistic practice activates the body’s subtle energy systems to remove blocks. Breaking through these blocks stimulates the body’s inherent ability to heal itself, providing a way for you to become more connected to your body wisdom. Ancient healing traditions have different names for energy, including prana (Hindu), ruah (Hebrew), and qi or chi (Chinese).

Energy healing therapies are energy-based CAM modalities currently being used in over 50 hospitals across the US.82 Therapeutic touch, healing touch, Reiki, Qi Gong, and shamanic healing are all examples of energy healing therapies. These therapies are based on the construct that energy flow can be manipulated by practitioners and brought into balance to induce healing and pain relief. To heal using energy healing, the practitioner acts as a conduit of the healing energy force and directs it to others or back to him or herself. The energy can be directed either with gentle hand placement on the body or at a distance from the body. The various energy healing therapies differ in the location of hand placement and also in the preparatory meditations the practitioners make prior to the treatment.

Based on previous CAM categorizations (17,33), we categorized CAM into three groups: natural products, mind and body exercises, and other complementary approaches. Natural products included herbals, vitamins (vitamins A, B, C, D, E, H, or K), and minerals (calcium, magnesium, iron, chromium, zinc, selenium, or potassium). Mind and body exercises included yoga, tai chi, and qi gong. other complementary approaches included massage, acupuncture, energy healing therapy, naturopathy, hypnosis, biofeedback, Ayurveda, chelation therapy, and craniosacral therapy. Within the other complementary approaches category, because prevalence of energy healing therapy, naturopathy, hypnosis, biofeedback, Ayurveda, chelation therapy, or craniosacral therapy use were low (prevalence of use less than 0.5%), we combined these modalities and labeled them as “other”.
A Review of "Descent and Return: An Incest Survivor's Healing Journey Through Art Therapy"
Published in Art Therapy, 2018
Although at times Jackie worked with drawing materials, she mainly created elaborate collages. Lumen discusses how she derived her interpretations of Jackie's collages by underscoring the concept of Jung's collective unconscious or common psychic heritage (Stevens, 2006). Depression, suicidal ideation, forgiveness and compassion, and recovered memory syndrome are all given their own subsections in this text, which the author explores through a Jungian lens as well as in the direct context of her work with Jackie. A specific note is also made of the importance for therapists to explore their own shadow and engage in energy healing, and dream work as well as ongoing clinical supervision when working with clients. The reader might find this pragmatic content of greater use if read prior to engaging with Lumen's recount of therapy with Jackie.
