If popping pills and swigging syrups is far from your idea of wellness, take a breather in energy healing. It’s non-invasive, holistic and balances out a crazy lifestyle. Alternative therapies have wowed city slickers and here’s how.

Reiki: It’s all about your life force
A traditional Japanese healing method, Reiki uses “universal life force” to work on the mind, body and spirit, converting negative energy to positive, disease to wellbeing. The Reiki Healing Foundation (Pitampura) specialises in group-healing sessions and also offers a four-level course on treating techniques. Other popular centres are Harmony Centre (Pitampura) and Sunshine Holistic Healing. You could also go to individual practitioners.

Pranic healing: Interpret your chakra
An ancient Indian therapy, and re-introduced by Chinese scientist Choa kok Sui, Pranic healing aims towards holistic cure, using aura scanning, chakra interpretation and life-force energy. The Pranic Healing Foundation of Delhi (Shantiniketan), Anandaa Centre (Dwarka), Divine Prana Trust (Noida) and GMCKS Pranic Healing Centre (Vasant Vihar) help people lead healthy lives, using such methods.

Of auras, tantra, clairvoyance
Get rid of that nagging health problem. Rely on Nalin and Renoo Nirula’s (Chanakyapuri) curative session, that uses aura scanning, clairvoyance, reiki, crystals, magnets, vastu shastra and feng shui to give you relief.

New-age options
From Melchizedek to sound therapy, Delhi offers a bouquet of new-age healing options. For Merkaba, you can call Kiran Choudhary (Sarita Vihar), who also does karuna reiki, or the Atma Jagriti Foundation (West Patel Nagar). Shruti Foundation (Gurgaon) works with nada empowerment—the power of sound to facilitate holistic healing. Bid stress goodbye, forever!

Past life and colour/crystal therapy
Regression therapy is fast catching on among city folks. At Dr Blossom Furtado’s Aikya the One (Defence Colony) seek answers to your present-day problems through past-life regression therapy or look to independent crystal healer-cum-regressionist Dr Neelam Rai or Dr Anita Anand for solutions. Indumati Alternative Healing Centre does colour therapy as well.

Rebirth of acupressure
For aches and pains that don’t respond to drug-based medicine, turn to China. We’re talking about acupuncture, which is witnessing a rebirth in Delhi. Dr Raman Kapur’s Clinic (GK-I) is quite popular. Body and Soul also does sujok, reflexology and magnet therapy, apart from acupressure. Dr OP Chhabra is an independent practitioner whom you can call.
