Through complementary practices such as acupuncture or meditation, [energy healing therapy](https://alsuprun.com/) can ease anxiety and depression while providing healthy coping mechanisms. While further studies are necessary, most energy healing modalities appear safe for most individuals. Before adding them to your recovery toolbox, discuss them with both your doctor and practitioner first. ## Acupuncture Acupuncture is one of the world’s best-studied energy healing modalities, in which practitioners insert thin needles into the skin and manipulate them using heat, electricity or pressure to unblock energy and improve health. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), energy runs along pathways called meridians throughout our bodies and when these channels become blocked pain and illness can ensue; an acupuncturist using TCM would target specific channels known as acupoints to unblock energy and support natural healing capabilities of our bodies. [![Rejuvenate your whole body & balance your health without medications - now remotely!](https://alsuprun.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/BioresonanceTopAd.png)](https://www.bioresonance.rent) Acupoints serve as mini-maps of your entire body, mapping organ systems and muscular-skeletal systems. Stimulating these points through various techniques – acupuncture, cupping massage lasers or electric stimulation- offered at PALM Health- can release any blockage of energy and encourage the flow of healing energy; helping relieve digestive ailments like gastritis hyperacidity respiratory disorders sinusitis asthma muscle tension headaches arthritic pain fibromyalgia anxiety depression etc. Though most patients will experience no complications from treatment, some may experience minor side effects like needle irritation or pain from manipulation. As is standard practice for any treatment session, single-use disposable needles should be used with alcohol as disinfectant to reduce infection risks before each treatment session begins. Energy healing practitioners may offer more than acupuncture; AcuGraph assessments offer insight into your body’s energy levels and may reveal where any pain or symptoms could be coming from in your body. Acupuncturists are licensed healthcare professionals with master’s or higher degrees in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM); additionally they often possess additional training in other Asian energy healing modalities like Reiki and Qigong.

Reiki therapy provides a relaxing and comforting technique which reduces stress levels to help improve sleep quality. Reiki differs from many [energy therapies](https://alsuprun.com/) by not encouraging your body to heal itself but instead balances subtle energy fields called biofields. Furthermore, no belief system is needed – your therapist simply scans your body with their hands identifying any areas where energy seems obstructed before clearing them with hands-on treatment. Reiki, like acupuncture and cupping, works to unblock the flow of qi (pronounced “chee”) energy medicine that regulates spiritual, emotional and mental wellbeing. Reiki promotes relaxation while linking people with their natural healing energy source. Reiki sessions typically last 20 minutes, and participants remain fully clothed while their practitioner gently places his or her hands on or above certain energy locations of your body. You may feel heat or tingling as energy moves through you; emotions such as joy or happiness may arise during this session. Combining energy healing techniques such as Reiki and Quantum Healing Hypnosis with proven medical treatments can be invaluable in aiding recovery. At Roswell Park, we are pleased to offer integrated therapies like these in a comfortable and supportive environment; licensed providers can seamlessly incorporate them into care plans as needed. Reach out today for more information regarding this and other services we offer! ## Qigong Qigong is an ancient mind-body wellness technique. It involves physical movement, breathing techniques and meditation to promote overall health by increasing energy flow (known as “qi”) through physical movement and breathing techniques. Qigong may stimulate this flow to promote improved overall health benefits for those suffering from stress-related ailments such as back pain or arthritis; additionally it may strengthen bones while improving balance and immunity. [![](https://alsuprun.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/RadionicMerch.png)](https://alsuprun.com/merch.html) Researchers are increasingly acknowledging the significance of Tai Chi and qigong practices and investigating their efficacy in improving various health outcomes. It’s essential to note that both practices share similar core principles – like uniting body, breath and mind as foundational elements in their philosophy and practices – making further study difficult without treating them separately as TCM-based wellness interventions. Studies have demonstrated the benefits of Qigong for improving balance, flexibility and cardiovascular endurance as well as stress and anxiety reduction. It can even aid with digestive issues such as stomach ulcers and gastritis; additionally it creates stronger connections within communities as well as greater body confidence and an increase in attention span. Recent research by researchers examined the effect of medical qigong on quality of life among cancer survivors. Results indicated that patients who participated twice weekly for 10 weeks experienced less fatigue and depression compared to nonparticipants as well as reduced cortisol levels. Qigong involves slow, subtle movements combined with deep breathing to activate the 12 meridians that carry energy through our bodies, each associated with organs or emotions that impact mood and wellbeing. ## Reflexology Reflexology is an ancient healing art based on the belief that there are energy zones in both your feet and hands, each associated with specific organs or body parts. Congestion or tension in any of these reflex areas of your foot mirror similar conditions in the body, so massaging these zones is thought to help keep energy flowing freely through them. Reflexology can also provide pain relief and reduce stress and anxiety, possibly by stimulating the nervous system. Furthermore, reflexology promotes relaxation and increases immunity. Ear reflexology, a lesser-known but effective form of reflexology, involves pressing and stimulating points on the outer ear to treat problems like vertigo, migraines and ear infections. A trained practitioner can use this approach to help their clients. Therapeutic Touch (TT) is an [energy healing therapy](https://alsuprun.com/) that uses noninvasive energy healing techniques to benefit both body and mind. Also referred to as “laying-on-of-hands,” sessions typically consist of scanning patients using palms of both hands at 2-6 inches distance from them body, clearing areas where energy congested; each session typically lasts 30- 60 minutes. ## Meditation Meditation is one of the oldest energy healing techniques, an ancient holistic practice in which you focus your mind on a particular object or phrase to bring balance and tranquility. Meditation involves breathing deeply through the diaphragm while repeating words or sounds to help focus. According to research, meditation can relieve stress while improving sleep quality, mood states and mental wellbeing – not to mention increase brain size/gray matter/intelligence/creativity levels as well as lower blood pressure/heart rate as well as reduce plaque build-up in coronary arteries. [Energy healing therapies](https://alsuprun.com/) rely on invisible life force energy known as qi or prana in Chinese medicine or prana in Indian traditions to manipulate your biofield to heal physical and emotional discomfort, according to the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health. They often involve gentle touch or no touch interventions that rely on our bodies’ natural energy systems as sources. Many find energy healing relaxing and invigorating; yet “it is important not to expect miracles from it,” according to Allen-Duenas who teaches reiki and other energy healing modalities. Energy flows more smoothly when you are relaxed. Therapeutic Touch is another non-touch energy healing method designed to lower stress and anxiety levels – commonly seen during addiction recovery. The practice involves hovering your hands just above the body – ideal for people who don’t respond well to physical touch such as early addiction treatment patients. Research shows that Reiki and other forms of energy healing may help patients manage fatigue, depression, anxiety and improve quality of life. ```json { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Article", "headline": "Therapy Energy Healing for Mental Health in Recovery", "url": "https://alsuprun.com/blog/energy-therapy/therapy-energy-healing-for-mental-health-in-recovery/", "datePublished": "2026-09-14T20:27:50+00:00", "dateModified": "2026-09-14T20:27:54+00:00", "author": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Editorial" }, "publisher": { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Information Wellness Blog", "url": "https://alsuprun.com/blog/" } } ```
