Abstract

CONCEPÇÕES DE ENERGIA NA NOVA ERA: O CASO DA NATUROLOGIA BRASILEIRA Resumo: Objetivou-se explorar como o termo “energia”, emprestado da área científica, é articulado no meios novaeristas, estudando o caso da naturologia. Analisamos artigos, projetos pedagógicos e uma dissertação sobre os cursos de naturologia brasileiros. A energia foi entendida como aquilo que mantém coeso o processo terapêutico. Identificamos também que alguns naturólogos alegam que essa noção de energia os fragiliza academicamente. Palavras-chave: Naturologia. Nova Era. Curas energéticas. Religião e saúde. Abstract: Tthis study aims to explore how the term “energy”, borrowed from science, is articulated among newagers, by studying the case of naturology. We analyze papers, pedagogical projects and a master thesis regarding Brazilian naturology courses. Energy was understood as that which holds the therapeutic process together. We also identify that some naturologists claim this notion of energy weakens them academically. Keywords: Naturology. New Age. Energy healing. Religion and health
