Healing work
The term healing work is used almost exclusively for energetic or spiritual approaches in alternative medicine and alternative psychotherapy. The declared aim of healing work is thus traditionally to remedy a physical illness or mental disorder.
The word healing work thus subsumes two currents. On the one hand there is a relation to energy medicine with approaches to the aura layers (Occident), the chakra system (India) or the meridian system (China). On the other hand, healing work implies approaches to spiritual healing from religious traditions (e.g. shamanic or Christian background) and new spiritual directions (e.g. Reiki ).
Practical way of working
The group of practical methods of healing work is inhomogeneous and spans the most diverse approaches to energetic and spiritual treatment. Various approaches have been borrowed from traditional religious healing rituals, some of which have been redesigned, which is why healing work can be assigned to religions in the same way as esotericism or alternative medicine and psychotherapy.
As a result, healing work includes various methods of healing and self-healing such as:
- Energy body based methods: aura work , chakra work , chi gong , laying on of hands , prana healing , reiki , tai chi
- Spiritual-spiritual approaches such as channeling , clearings , exorcism , classical spiritual healing , light work or spiritualism or human quantum energetics .
- Mind-altering approaches: trance (absence or presence trance ), through breathing, movement, sound, or drugs e.g. B. in shamanism
A distinction between healing work and medicine or psychotherapy is based on its holistic- spiritual view of the world and people (keyword soul ) and their inclusion of energetic aspects beyond scientifically recognized physical models.
