“…It is a constant flow of interpenetration and knowledge: it is the encounter of man with man, sublimating wholeness in a gesture. The subtle forces that bind multiple molecules of matter as we know it are the missing key to understanding health and disease [ 48 ]. There is no neutrality, but balance (in health); there is no immobility, but constant motions of different electromagnetic spectrums.…”

“…The hand should not seek neutrality or silence; the hand should be looking for functional entropy. The latter is the maximum adaptability of the organism which is expressed in health [ 48 , 49 ]. Conversely, the presence of dysfunctional syntropy implies the presence of a predominant pattern that disrupts the balance and leads to disease [ 48 , 49 ].…”

Scientific literature demonstrates how osteopathic manipulative treatments (OMT) are able to improve various somatic functional parameters, change somato-visceral and viscero-somatic reflexes toward a more physiological mechano-metabolic environment and, consequently, bring benefits to patients. These benefits can be long-lasting or short-lived. Multiple reasons can be found to explain the positive responses to OMT, ranging from neurological, vascular, lymphatic, and endocrine explanations. Not only the techniques, but the touch of the clinician prove to be important factors for a favorable adaptation by the patient. Another science capable of explaining the change in cellular status and from which reflections that pave the way for observing the human body in a different light can be extrapolated is quantum physics. The latter is rarely taken into consideration to obtain possible explanations of the physical events that occur between the clinician and the patient. The article tries to put the effects of OMT under the light of a new lens: the nanoscopic.

“…An obstacle to professional acceptance of the growing body of research supporting the efficacy of energy-oriented healing modalities has been the vague or controversial use of the term energy in the field's name and explanatory frameworks [5]. While all forms of psychotherapy presumably influence the body's electrical signaling, brain waves, and electromagnetic fields, the premise of this paper is that a strength of energy psychology is its ability to initiate these effects in a deliberate and targeted manner, such as by stimulating acupuncture points that send electrical impulses which activate or deactivate specific neural processes.…”

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.”
