14-September-2008 12:50:32 - esotericism Electro-metabograph machine Electro-metabograph machine Subtle energy redirects here. For the mystical concept of psychospiritual bodies overlaying the physical body, see Subtle body. The term energy has been widely adopted into the fields of spirituality, complementary medicine 12etc. to refer to a variety of forces, known and unknown, measurable and immeasurable, actual and putative, physical and spiritual, often, though not always, conceived as fields or subtle forms surrounding the earth or any living thing, supposed to be directly perceptible and accessible to the human mind as rays, fields or vibrations.3 In many cases energy is conceived of as a universal life force: to this extent spiritual energy theories resemble scientific vitalism4 and may even invoke the Luminiferous Ether of Victorian physics.5 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 Upanisads.6 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. 7 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.8 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 heirarchy of inner planes or subtle bodies.9 It will be evident from the above that such an idea of energy, to the extent that it is expressed with rational rigour, may draw upon comparative religion, biology, physics, medicine or even all at once. Moreover, the status of any such idea may generally be assumed to be a matter of controversy. Further, many themes commonly discussed under this rubric are elaborated in in their own articles. All this being the case, these present remarks can be and need be no more than tentative. It is therefore intended that a list of such articles be compiled here, divided into general headings and commented upon only sufficiently to aid, hopefully, a primary orientation in this far-reaching matter. Contents 1 Bio-energy and field theories 2 Scientific references 3 Modern western psychotherapies 4 Energy Medicine 5 Parapsychology 6 Dowsing 7 Earth Energy 8 Chinese theories 9 Indian vitalism 10 Other Cultures 11 References 12 Further reading Bio-energy and field theories The success of the scientific Enlightenment's treatment of energy in natural science quickly led to attempts to study the energies of life, a process which at first derived much strength from Luigi Galvani's neurological discoveries. Some, like Mesmer, identified these energies with magnetism, others continued to assume that living organisms were constituted of special materials subject to special forces - a view which became known as vitalism. As microbiologists studied embryology and developmental biology, particularly before the discovery of the genes, a variety of organisational forces were posited to account for the observations. From the time of Driesch, however, the importance of energy-fields began to wane and the proposed forces became more mind-like. Sometimes, however, as in the work of Harold Saxton Burr, the electromagnetic fields of organisms have been studied precisely as the hypothetical medium of such organisational forces. Vitalism - Entelechy of Driesch.

Electric field and Magnetic field - their general nature. Electrophysiology - the scientific study of the electrical properties of biological cells and tissues. Radiobiology radiation biology - the interdisciplinary field of science that studies the biological effects of ionizing and non-ionizing radiation of the whole electromagnetic spectrum, including radioactivity alpha, beta and gamma, x-rays, ultraviolet radiation, visible light, microwaves, radio wave, low-frequency radiation such as alternating or pulsing fields or currents, ultrasound, thermal radiation heat and related modalities. Biomagnetism - the magnetic properties of living systems and Magnetobiology - the study of effect of magnets upon living systems. See also Electromagnetic radiation and health Bioelectromagnetism - the electromagnetic properties of living systems and Bioelectromagnetics - the study of the effect of electromagnetic fields on living systems. Electrotherapy Radiation therapy Electroconvulsive therapy Transcranial magnetic stimulation Magnetic resonance imaging Embryogenesis, Ontogeny and Developmental Biology - a discipline that has given rise to many scientific field theories. Bioenergetics - the study of energy exchange on the molecular level of living systems. Biological psychiatry, Neurology, Psychoneuroimmunology Bioluminescence - a marked phosphoresecence found in fungi, deep-sea creatures etc., as against Biophoton - a much weaker electromagnetic radiation, thought by Alexander Gurwitsch, its discoverer, to be a form of signalling. Modern western psychotherapies See main articles Energy psychological and Psychodynamics These are therapeutic approaches that depend on the idea of energy. The following are mostly neo-Reichian therapies which aim to release emotional tension from the body; Body Psychotherapy and Somatic psychology Orgone energy and Vegetotherapy of Wilhelm Reich Bioenergetic analysis of Alexander Lowen Rebirthing-Breathwork of Leonard Orr Rolfing therapy of Ida Pauline Rolf Orgonomy, the American College of Orgonomy Emotional Freedom Techniques David Boadella Gerda Boyesen Integrative Body Psychotherapy IBP Myron Sharaf There have also been attempts to align the psycho-analytic theories of C.G.Jung regarding the archetypes of the collective unconscious with the memory-like morphogenetic force-fields postulated by biologists like Hans Driesch and Rupert Sheldrake. Psychobiology Evolutionary Psychology Energy Medicine Complementary interventions that depend on a form of energy, whether veritable known to science or putative unknown to science. See main article Energy medicine. Parapsychology These pages do not cover all of parapsychology but only those that are concerned with some energy. Some effects studied in that discipline, such telepathy and dowsing at a distance, are by nature attempting to go beyond normal time-space: these are excluded.

To the extent that acupuncture is regarded as efficacious in western medicine, its palliative effects are usually described as obtained physiologically by blocking or stimulating nerve cells and causing changes in the perception of pain in the brain.10 However the idea of qi is not confined to medicine: it appears throughout traditional east Asian culture, for example, in the art of Feng Shui, in Chinese martial arts and spiritual tracts.
