- Negative feelings can be worked through and their energy converted into positive energy […]. In crisis, normal patterns of self-organization fail, resulting in anxiety (negative energy). Being open systems, people can exchange this energy with the environment and create positive energy for taking action based on a reorganisation of self as necessary to resolve the crisis and emerge at a higher level of consciousness; that is, until the next crisis.
- 2011, Anne Jones, Healing Negative Energies, Hachette, p.118
- If you have been badly affected by negative energy a salt bath is wonderful for clearing and cleansing yourself […]. Salt attracts negative energy and will draw it away from you.

- 2017, Stoyan Tanev, Energy in Orthodox Theology and Physics: From Controversy to Encounter, quoting and translating the conclusions of the Fifth Council of Constantinople (1351), page 2:
- We hold, further, that there are two energies in our Lord Jesus Christ. For He possesses on the one hand, as God and being of like essence with the Father, the divine energy, and, likewise, since He became man and of like essence to us, the energy proper to human nature. […] Energy is the efficient and essential activity of nature; the capacity for energy is the nature from which proceeds energy; the product of energy is that which is effected by energy; and the agent of energy is the person or subsistence which uses the energy.
- 2019, Paul Ladouceur, Modern Orthodox Theology: Behold, I Make All Things New, page 368–369:
- The doctrine of the divine energies states that the divine essence, God-in-himself, is unknowable to any creature, whereas God makes himself known in creation by his divine energies, which are inseparable from the divine essence yet distinct from it. Humans know and experience God through his energies. […] Energies are indeed God, but God is more than his energies.
- 2003, Carl S. Tyneh, Orthodox Christianity: Overview and Bibliography, page 21:
- (role-playing games, video games, board games) A measure of how many actions a player or unit can take; in the fantasy genre often called magic points or mana.
