In autumn 2007, a Bioenergy Healing Act was adopted. The Bioenergy Healing Act was published in the Official Gazette of the Republic of Slovenia No 94/07 and entered into force on 1.11.2007. The act brings many changes in the area of Complementary Medicine and its practice.

For the reason that the area of complementary healing in Slovenia had not been regulated and registered yet, the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Slovenia published “THE PUBLIC CALL TO THE HEALERS TO REGISTER THE HEALING SYSTEMS AND HEALING METHODS” in the public media in November 2007.

On the basis of public call, we convened an annual meeting of graduates according to the bioenergy healing method of Zdenko Domančić. In the meeting in Hotel Larix in Kranjska Gora, signatures of all scholars and graduates of the above mentioned method, who were present and also practice the method, were collected. Declaration about performing the method with more than three hundred signatures of the therapeutists was sent to the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Slovenia.

Special commission named by the Minister of Health, Zofija Mazej Kukovič, is going to examine the applications and classify them in categories. In the end, it is going to be validated by the Minister of Health. The practitioners of the confirmed systems and methods of the Complementary Healing will be able to participate in the founding general meeting, which will be convened by the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Slovenia.
