energy field

Invisible power sphere

Energy field refers to a region where energy or force is distributed, used both technically and loosely.

In physics, fields like electromagnetic or gravitational fields describe how forces act across space.

In alternative medicine and New Age contexts, energy field typically means a supposed aura or life force surrounding living things: The healer claimed to sense disturbances in my energy field.

The scientific and mystical uses rarely overlap.
