spiritual energy

Inner life power

Spiritual energy refers to a vital force believed to animate living things or permeate the universe, distinct from physical energy measured by science.

Various traditions call it chi, prana, life force, or simply spirit.

People speak of raising their spiritual energy through meditation or feeling drained of spiritual energy after emotional stress.

The concept appears in alternative medicine, New Age practices, and religious contexts, though skeptics consider it metaphorical rather than literal.
