The theory of the energetic or meditative methods and practices work with subtle body energies which important for physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health, and for fostering well-being.

While the energetic or meditative methods and practices and the products, programs, trainings, and services offered on this website are intended for “healing”, it is not to be construed that the use of any of the energetic or meditative methods and practices, products, programs, training, or services are the practice of medicine, psychology, psychotherapy, or other licensed health care practice.
