Overview
What Defines This GroupingPractices undertaken for healing whose warrant is religious or spiritual rather than clinical. The grouping is defined by that claim alone and holds unrelated things: cupping as prophetic medicine within Islamic tradition, modern subtle-energy healing systems, and regression under hypnosis. No shared theory connects them and none is presented here as medicine. 2 Learn More
The Therapeutic Practices
This group holds therapeutic practices: disciplines directed at healing of body, mind or spirit, where religious or spiritual means are brought to bear on affliction. The atlas describes these as traditions of practice and belief, not as clinical guidance.
The browser will find therapeutic practices from various traditions. The entries describe each practice's form and rationale, noting the tradition that prescribes it and treating healing claims as the tradition's own.
