Abstract
Energy field therapies build on two different disciplines-a spiritual discipline which involves faith in the existence of a universal life-force or energy, and a system based in the principles of physics. The fundamental nature of humanity is to express itself through touch, and historically, touch therapies have been used within traditional medicine/healing systems almost universally. This chapter covers a range of biofield and manipulative therapies to promote fertility and to support holistic wellbeing during pregnancy, including Reiki, therapeutic touch, osteopathy, chiropractic, and others.
