ThetaHealing

ThetaHealing (also Theta Healing) is the registered trademark for a method of meditation created by Vianna Stibal in 1995.[1][2] ThetaHealing claims to change a practitioner's brain wave pattern to the theta pattern, allowing them to explore how "emotional energy" affects their health, and develop "natural intuition".[3][4]

ThetaHealing is a pseudoscientific practice and is therefore criticized for its esoteric approach to meditation.[1][5][6] ThetaHealing has made false and unsubstantiated health claims about curing cancer.[1][7]
