The term ''energy'' is used by writers and practitioners of various esoteric forms of spirituality and alternative medicine to refer to a variety of phenomena. There is no scientific evidence for the existence of such energy. Therapies that purport to use, modify, or manipulate unknown energies are thus among the most contentious of all complementary and alternative medicines. Claims related to energy therapies are most often anecdotal, rather than being based on repeatable empirical evidence.〔 ==History== Concepts such as "life force", "physiological gradient", and "élan vital" emerged from within the spiritualist movement and later inspired thinkers in the modern New Age movement. The field of "energy medicine" purports to manipulate this energy, but there is no credible evidence to support this.〔 As biologists studied embryology and developmental biology, particularly before the discovery of genes, a variety of organisational forces were posited to account for their observations. With the work of Hans Driesch (1867-1941), however, the importance of "energy fields" began to wane and the proposed forces became more mind-like. Modern research science has all but abandoned the attempt to associate additional energetic properties with life. Despite this, spiritual writers and thinkers have maintained ideas about energy and continue to promote them either as useful allegories or as fact. ==Forms of esoteric energy== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Energy (esotericism)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
