Theta Healing [View all]

Last edited Thu Jul 19, 2012, 12:22 PM - Edit history (1)

Hello all,

I just returned from a trip to see an old friend I haven't seen in about 15 years. He and his common law wife were very enthusiastic about being involved with Teta healing.

I listened calmly, described my own practice (zen) and told them flat out I did not think this 'energy' and 'positive thinking' were anything I could accept as reality.

We didn't argue or anything, in fact I am hopeful my friend at least will explore a bit more critically and perhaps look into Zen.

But I am concerned for them, that they will not seek the professional medical help they should if they ever got truly ill or injured.

I'm finding plenty of references from supporters and a few disgruntled people but not much with hard documentation, objective debunks.

There is a BBC story, I will look at later tonight.

Anyone run into this and maybe have some good references?
