Energy systems and the subtle body
Hindu / modern tradition · traditional
What it is
Ideas of vital energy (prana, qi) and subtle centers present in many traditions.
Method
Prana and qi describe patterns of vitality and attention. In Molino, 'energy of the day' uses the same language: a symbolic indicator of focus, not a physical unit.
Molino's review
The concept of 'energy' in these systems is qualitative and symbolic, not physical. Reading them that way avoids confusing a metaphor for the body with an objective measure.
