Energy Healing involves direct application of Chi for the purpose of strengthening the clients' energy system (aura). Chi is the term used by the Chinese mystics and martial artists for the underlying force the Universe is made of. Ancient cultures understood and acknowledged the presence of this life force. Mystics in all cultures have talked about the physical universe being made of an underlying form of something, much as research in modern physics is now coming to understand. The existence of this \"life force energy\" has been verified through recent scientific experiments, and medical doctors are considering the role it plays in the functioning of the immune system and the healing process.","PeriodicalId":79481,"journal":{"name":"Complementary therapies in nursing & midwifery","volume":"18 1","pages":"118-9"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89371094","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
