Research has even shown that over 70% of touch and distance healings result in statistically positive outcomes. This is through the cultivation and manipulation of life energy: qi in Qigong or prana in Yoga. Reiki healing is also practiced in hospitals. Dr. James Oschman and Barbara Ann Brennan also have excellent research compiled around the study of energy healing. It is also well known that many healings are caused by the placebo effect (and it’s still amazing that our minds have that much power).
