Recently, I was involved in a conversation between a physicist, Bill, and a former physician, Steve, who now does what he calls “energy healing.”
I had a vague idea of what he meant by that, but Bill took umbrage.
“The word ‘energy’ has a very precise meaning in physics and the physical sciences,” he said. “I see it bandied about in the most outlandish ways, to make it mean something it doesn’t. That really bothers me.”
We went on a bit about this subject, and finally all agreed that there had to be another way to name what in the alternative healing field is commonly referred to as “energy,” as in energy healing, the energy in foods, good or bad energy, and so on and so forth.
