Psychospiritual healing represents an orientation that is designed to handle cases of psycho-spiritual emergence or emergency. It goes beyond the somatic and psychosomatic approaches of conventional and alternative/complementary medicine and relates to the deeper aspects of an individual's inner being. More specifically, it works with the subtle energetic structures of human embodiment. These structures are known in Yoga as the conduits (nâdî) through which the life force (prâna) circulates or which are the arcs of that life force, and the wheels (cakra), which are important nodal points of that network of channels. This approach also is referred to as Tantric medicine.
