Does that energy stuff really work?
Yes! I am as much a skeptic as you will find, but there is little doubt as to the effectiveness of energy work. While this area of healing arts has been little studied by western science, the body of research is ever growing and it shows a definitive, quantifiable benefit to energy work. The research on why and how these results are achieved is a little thinner, but I would note that the research on why and how many of our psychoactive medications work is no more robust. As far as I am concerned, knowing that it works is good enough for me. Even a placebo effect brings relief, and that is what we are working towards, right?
