Just my hapence: what I said was speak to a particular rav who actually knows this field AND the relevant halachos and hashkafos of healing. I even gave the name of such a person. The point is that IF a person is a shomer Torah u’mitzvos, then they conduct themselves accordingly and ask shailos, so why would one say that such a person is a machasheifa and an oved avoda zora, just because their work involves something that one doesn’t understand? I don’t understand electricity, but I know that it works! Is my electrician a machasheifa or an oved avoda zora? I don’t think so. Which is why I am offended that this discussion is avak lashon hora and/or rechilus/motzei shem ra! The books I listed indicate that “energy” is all around us, all the time. This is a scientific fact (thank you, Albert Einstein). When it was explained to me (in a mature and adult conversation) I understood that “energy healing” DOES NOT access “energy” from other sources, but balances what is already present. No chanting, no external sources, no mystique, no avoda zora. No agendas, either. Rational science.
