Acupuncture as effective energy medicine

Of course it is a very effective energy medicine since the very basis of it is to treat the patient's Qi (energy). We think this first. The goal is to smooth and balance their Qi. We can detect, by using this diagnose, a potential of a disease even before it manifests in any way as a symptom because when something is wrong, it always starts from the Qi.

What conclusions can you draw from Kirlian photography?

It shows visually that all living systems have energy inside and also outside of ourselves, and it's constantly moving/changing.

Human intent as it affects health

This can be seen in Qigong treatments. Practitioners use their hands to treat. But one reason is so that the practitioner can focus on what they intend to do. But if you are very focused, you don't need to use your hands, you can just use your intention (Yi) to move the patient's Qi. You don't need to know Qigong to do this. If you can really focus and visualize the person's health, you are really moving and protecting that person's Qi.
