\"TOIMeet the jury for TOI Healing India Forum 2026 As wellness becomes an increasingly visible part of everyday life, the challenge is no longer finding a practice to follow. Choices are expanding rapidly, from Ayurveda<\/a> and yoga to breathwork, energy healing, nutrition and mindfulness. But with this growth comes another question. How do you distinguish meaningful practice and experience from the latest wellness trend? That\u2019s where recognition and credible evaluation become important. The TOI Healing India Forum 2026 brings together practitioners and institutions across India\u2019s diverse wellness ecosystem, creating a platform to recognise those contributing to healing, holistic wellbeing and conscious living.<\/p>\n

Categories<\/p>\n

The Forum features 35 categories across eight disciplines, spanning Energy & Frequency Healing, Consciousness & Soul Work, Mind & Subconscious Therapies, Group & Collective Healing, Body-Based & Traditional Therapies, Creative & Sensory Healing, Yoga Excellence Awards and Wellness Visionaries Awards. The categories recognise practices ranging from Reiki, sound healing and hypnotherapy to Ayurveda-based therapeutic healing, acupuncture, art therapy, yoga and wellness content creation.<\/p>\n

Evaluation Framework<\/p>\n

But recognition is not based on visibility alone. Every nominee is assessed through a 100-point evaluation framework, with 25 points awarded for the depth of healing impact and documented client transformations. Authenticity of practice carries 20 points, while method and structure and verified client testimonials carry 15 points each. Ethical considerations and innovation account for 10 points each, with another 5 points for community outreach and workshops. Entries also undergo editorial and jury verification, with restrictions on unverifiable claims and claims of curing medical conditions.<\/p>\n
