"Energy Psychology" as defined by ACEP Association for Comprehensive Energy Psychology:
Energy psychology is a family of mind/body techniques that are clinically observed to consistently help with a wider range of psychological conditions. These interventions address the human vibrational matrix, which consists of three major interacting systems: Energy pathways (meridians and related acupoints)Energy centers (chakras)Human biofield (systems of energy that envelop the body)
I believe that we are at the beginning of a new era of medicine applied to psychology. Recent studies are revealing undeniable success with treatments combining both Eastern and Western medical modalities. I spent several years in the pharmaceutical industry and know first hand about the big business of these industries. If different types of conditions can possibly be remedied through energy techniques instead of long-term treatment, expensive medical care, or use of drugs, these companies stand to lose profits. Until now there has been limited research due to failure to procure funding for studies on energy psychology. These studies are often resisted by the pharmaceutical industries. The National Institute of Health recently published positive results for use of meridian based therapy. Additionally, ongoing research in Quantum Physics has proven as scientific fact that all matter consists of vibrational energy waves. Through the manipulation of energy and the body we have seen medical advancements in bioelectronics such as the TENS unit and MRI. More research is now being published as we are seeing actual results of the manipulation of our energy field and corresponding health benefits. Having worked in the physical and sexual abuse trauma for years and utilizing the most up-to date traditional psychology techniques, I have personally been amazed at the results of rapid psychological healing with use of energy psychology techniques.
