DOMAIN 05 · INNER ECOLOGY

Energetic

The language of felt vitality

In Inner Ecology, this domain includes traditional concepts of vital force and the subjective experience of energy or aliveness. These ideas are explored as philosophy and experience. Established bioelectric processes are scientifically distinct from claims about subtle healing energy.

Energetic ↔ Psychological

A person may describe themselves as “drained” or “renewed”. That description can open a useful conversation about their experience without diagnosing an energy imbalance.
