This is an umbrella term that describes any form of healing in which the healer is essentially a channel for spiritual energy to flow into or towards the recipient, although it is also the term for healing performed within a Spiritualist Church. It encompasses religious faith healing, Reiki, Therapeutic Touch, Seichem, Crystal Healing, Energy Medicine, and all forms of energy work. It usually involves light touch or no touch and within some traditions can even be performed remotely.
