Acupuncture as effective energy medicine:
The function of acupuncture is to bring the body into a state of homeostasis. By using needles, cupping, moxa, and/ or herbs the practitioner engages with the clients meridians. Flowing through the meridians, Qi and Blood maintain the internal organs, and the entire being. So to access these vital substances creates an environment where Qi and Blood flow harmoniously, and thus, allow a persons health to be restored, or maintained. Some people refer to that which flows through the meridians as energy, however I do not like using this term because it is not accurate. However, I will say that acupuncture is Qi-based medicine and is extremely effective at it's role in the healing process of an individual.
Kirlian Photography:
From what I understand, Kirlian photography works by using a high voltage, high frequency power supply. I do not fully understand what influence that has on the person being photographed. So, without truly understanding the mechanism of this type of photography, I am not going to form an opinion about it, specifically about the claims made that is captures auras.
Intent affecting Health:
In the field of psychology, studies have shown that when an individual focuses on and visualizes receiving a test back with a satisfactory grade, they do worse than when they visualize the process of them diligently studying (and then of course do that studying). This study showed the influence that our thought/ brain waves have on an outcome in our physical world. I take this same study (and I believe there have been similar studies done with respect to health/ healing, though I can not reference any in particular), and apply it to a person's health, to conclude that intention does in fact have an influence.
