January 2024 Webinar
Our first webinar of the new year will feature two of the authors of the landmark paper that provides guidance for reporting clinical research on biofield therapies. Two of the authors of this paper, Richard Hammerschlag, PhD (Co-Director of Research, CHI) and Ann Baldwin, PhD (Director, Mind-Body Science and author, Reiki in Clinical Practice; and The Vagus Nerve in Therapeutic Practice) will describe the guidance document and suggest how it may encourage further acceptance of biofield therapies (External Qigong, Healing Touch, Reiki and Therapeutic Touch, among others) in hospital settings and private practice. The paper is set for publication in February 2024.
