Author Description

The purpose of this hermeneutic phenomenological study was to make intelligible order out of the whole phenomenon of subtle body energy concerning healing and transformation in the present-day meaning of health, psychology, and spirituality. This was done by drawing on meditational, transpersonal and health science literature.Health science literature on the application of specific yogic subtle body modalities supports the initial notion that these are non-invasive, safe and effective. However, this study argues for further implementation of research on the transpersonal multidimensionality of individuals, as this could produce effective application of alternative subtle energy modalities.My final overall conclusion, based on the interpretative phenomenological analysis of the interdisciplinary literature and experiential data, is that the theory of subtle energy in healing is quite likely to be more than mere speculation.
