National Alliance of Energy Practitioners History

The process
of creating a more continuous community between energy practitioner groups began in 2010 with a visit of Professor Sally Anne Payton to the International Society for the Study of Subtle Energy and Energy Medicine leadership. Arranged by Dr. James Oschman, the meeting was to discuss the request of the US government that we organize a more effective leadership for the community as a whole. So a meeting at the 2010 conference and a subsequent meeting at the 2011 conference took place. Some efforts were made to move forward primarily within the scientific community, but little overall progress was made within the larger community to create greater continuity and internal oversight at that time. The energy community is complex and very independent.Fast forward
to 2017 and a new administration, where the request was again made that we organize a more cohesive form of leadership for the energy practitioner community. Arrangements were made and support for a series of meetings was found. In March of 2018, several meetings which included some of the largest energy practitioner training programs (40+) and leading scientists, who were studying energy practices, mechanisms and effects, were held at Arizona State University. At the end of the meetings 14 working groups were developed to explore the range of options available to the community, where the community’s focus should be placed, how best to support practitioners, clients and the country as a whole.
