Origin of Quantum Mysticism

The concept of quantum mysticism arose in the early 20th century, as a response to the nascent quantum theory in physics. The rise of New Age in the 1970s ushered in a revival of the quantum mysticism theme.

Origin of Quantum Healing

Today's notion of quantum healing is most influenced by Deepak Chopra's 1989 book Quantum Healing: Exploring the Frontiers of Mind/Body Medicine, in which the author argues the human body is much more capable of healing itself than was previously thought.

Practices

Quantum healing practices vary by practitioner and school of thought, though quantum theory is thought by its practitioners to treat underlying causes of disease using touch, vibration, body control exercises and exercises intended to change the sufferer's subjective experience of reality.

Practitioners

Hundreds of people across the United States offer as a service variations on quantum healing.

Criticism

Because these concepts have not been proven through scientific inquiry, the mainstream scientific community remains skeptical of quantum healing and quantum mysticism. Science writers have dismissed these concepts as "quantum quackery," in the words of Michael Shermer.
