“…Common forms of energy healing today are Healing Touch, Therapeutic Touch, and Reiki (Anderson, Anselme & Hart, 2017;Krieger, 1993;Krieger, 2021;Levin, 2011;Quest, 2016;Wardell, Kagel & Anselme, 2014). Substantial research details the benefits of energy healing, including increased relaxation, pain reduction, and overall improved well-being (Gronowicz et al, 2008;Gronowicz et al, 2015;MacIntyre et al, 2008;Post-White et al, 2003;Richeson et al, 2010;Shiah et al, 2021;Swengros et al, 2014;Thomaz de Souza et al, 2017;Yount et al, 2021). Some research directly relates to those living in long-term care and/or living with dementia (Woods et al, 2009;Yücel, Arslan & Bagci, 2020).…”

Context: Residents experiencing pain, anxiety, and distressing behaviours, often in conjunction with mental health diagnoses and dementia, can be challenging for staff in long-term care facilities and may result in jeopardising resident and staff safety, quality of life, staff delivery of care, and overuse of psychotropic medications.Objective: Describe the effects of three holistic interventions (hand portion of the 'M' Technique®, aromatherapy, and energy healing) to reduce pain, anxiety, and distressing behaviours in long-term care residents.Method: Pragmatic secondary analysis of pre-and post-intervention quantitative and qualitative data.Findings: Staff administered a total of 363 individual sessions using the 'M' Technique® for hands, aromatherapy, and/or energy healing to 75 residents who were able to indicate their pain and/or anxiety levels before and after a session. Results indicate significant differences in decreased pain by session, decreased anxiety by session, decreased pain by person, and decreased anxiety by person. Qualitative results, primarily gathered from an additional 1,024 sessions in which residents were unable to use pain and anxiety scales, indicate a decrease in distressing behaviours and overall improvement of milieu. Limitations:We collected data as part of a quality improvement programme without the intent of being published as a research study. It is difficult to assess the reliability and validity of self-reported quantitative pain and anxiety scales for people with dementia.Implications: Holistic interventions, including the 'M' Technique for hands, aromatherapy, and/or energy healing, show promise in reducing pain, anxiety, and distressing behaviours in residents of long-term care facilities, along with improvements in the facilities' environment.

“…The notion of a "green thumb"-that some people have an "energy" (a biofield) that promotes plant growth-has been backed by numerous studies [94][95][96]. Even having a healthy person do a "laying on of hands" over the water used to irrigate a plant has resulted in more robust growth in comparison with the use of water handled by a depressed person [97].…”

The Energy of Energy Psychology

The vague or controversial use of the term energy in the clinical subdiscipline known as “energy psychology” has been an obstacle to the field’s acceptance. This paper discusses five forms of energy and explores the role of each in energy psychology treatments. While patterns in (a) electrical signaling, (b) brain waves, and (c) electromagnetic fields are presumably shifted in any form of effective psychotherapy, a strength of energy psychology interventions is shown to be in their ability to initiate such effects in a deliberate and targeted manner. This paper examines the roles of these three well-established energy forms in explaining the rapid and durable outcomes seen with a wide range of conditions following energy psychology treatments. A fourth form of energy, “subtle energy,” is by definition too subtle for detection by conventional scientific instruments. These energies have, however, been recognized in at least 97 healing traditions around the world and are considered to be the infrastructure of the body’s physiological processes. Skepticism about subtle energies has, nonetheless, caused many critics to reject an energy psychology approach entirely, ignoring the substantial evidence base supporting it. Even more speculative are quantum influences that occur within energy psychology treatments, yet preliminary evidence for these dynamics, such as healing from a distance, has been accumulating. Although the more speculative mechanisms associated with energy psychology remain controversial, the measurable electromagnetic effects that have been shown to affect psychological states strongly support the use of the term “energy psychology.”
