Abstract
The purposes of the article are to discuss the role of consciousness and quantum processes in energetic healing and to present the author's theory of energetic healing. Two opposing views of consciousness are reviewed: consciousness as emerging from material processes and consciousness as primary. Three quantum physics' theories are discussed: potentiality/actuality, observer-created reality, and consciousness-created reality. Psychosynthesis is offered as a model for the dimensions of a psyche that could be involved in consciousness-created reality and in energetic healing. A theory of energetic healing is outlined and applied to holistic nursing.
