The term energy has been widely adopted by writers and practitioners of various forms of spirituality and alternative medicine to refer to a variety of ideas, often (though not always) conceived as "fields" surrounding the earth or any living thing, supposed to be directly perceptible and accessible to the human mind as "auras", "rays", "fields" or "vibrations". There is no scientific evidence for any of these putative fields in any sense in which energy is currently defined in physics.

  • The term energy has been widely adopted by writers and practitioners of various forms of spirituality and alternative medicine to refer to a variety of ideas, often (though not always) conceived as "fields" surrounding the earth or any living thing, supposed to be directly perceptible and accessible to the human mind as "auras", "rays", "fields" or "vibrations". There is no scientific evidence for any of these putative fields in any sense in which energy is currently defined in physics. In many cases "energy" is conceived of as a universal life force: to this extent "spiritual energy" theories resemble vitalism and may even invoke the Luminiferous Ether of Victorian physics. Additionally, or alternatively, such notions are often aligned with or derived from conceptions found in other cultures, such as the Chinese idea of Qi and the Prana of the Upanishads. Many such ideas arise from the primitive idea of life as breath - a relationship implicit also in the word "spirit". Such a usage is already evident in William Blake's The Marriage of Heaven and Hell (1793); "Energy is the only life and is from the Body and Reason is the bound or outward circumference of Energy. Energy is Eternal Delight. " Blake's alignment of energy with affective emotion is noteworthy, for it depicts energy as the psychic continuum that unites body and mind, thus reflecting Plato's celebrated tripartite division of the human psyche into the appetitive, the spirited and the rational. Such an integration of "energy" into systematic esoteric expositions of the universe and/or the human psyche is frequently found combined, as in Kundalini and Theosophy, into an account of a hierarchy of "inner planes" or "subtle bodies".
  • Psicoenergia é o termo utilizado para designar os aspectos da suposta energia gerada pelo pensamento e as emoções. O termo é composto das palavras do idioma grego Ψυχολογία; ψυχή, "alma", e εργοs (ergos)= en-ergo =energia, trabalho, movimento).
  • Биопо́ле — комплекс электромагнитных излучений и полей, генерируемых живыми организмами либо их органами.
  • Inom magi, new age, alternativmedicin med mera anses energi finnas överallt i universum. Man anser att den har en större kraft än som går att vetenskapligt bevisa. I dagligt tal betecknar den: utstrålning, karisma, "själslig kraft", stamina, "andlig och kroppslig styrka", "inre kraftkälla" etcetera. Ofta är dessa energier sammankopplade med "energifält" eller "kraftfält", något som inte har något att göra med dom fält man pratar om inom fysiken.
