I did not mention church as the religious aspect. Body energy is a religious or religious type belief system.
Of the various entities and therapies you mentioned, these are of a religious foundation

Yoga ..... Hindu
Chakras ......The concept of chakra features in tantric and yogic traditions of Hinduism and Buddhism.
qi... is found in Prana in Vedantic philosophy, mana in Hawaiian culture, Lüng in Tibetan Buddhism, and Vital energy in Western philosophy.
Acupuncture is a practice based on qi Research shows sham acupuncture is just as effective as targeted acupuncture. The belief is the needle insertion supports the placebo effect since sham needle positions have the same sensation as targeted acupuncture. In some cases, nerves can be stimulated by acupuncture even though it is not the intended purpose.
ayurvedic medicine ...... Hindu based
native american medicine ...... pagan and/or creator/spirit based
chinese medicine .... usually Qigong based has a mystical base or Buddhist base
indian medicine ..... Hindu based
reiki ..... Buddhist
vibrational medicine ..... Just another name for chakra based energy medicine
sound healing ..... basically Tibetan Buddhist but also adapted to other belief systems
energy fields ...... Another name for chakra, qi, and qigong


The human mind is a powerful organ. It can ignore things and focus on other things. Ignoring pain is achieved with a wide variety of mental efforts. The positive effect of placebo can work wonders. Stress has an enormous ability to negatively effect health and pain. Using placebo to reduce stress about an illness or pain can be very effective. This can be scientifically validated.

The placebo effect has shown to routinely have up to a 60% positive effect on health improvement.

If you believe in HT and can transmit this belief to your patients, they will likely benefit. I believe there are powers or powerful entities in this world besides a Divine Creator. We can choose which powers to put our belief and faith in. People deserve an opportunity to make informed choices.
