The aim of this essay is to reflect on the concept of human energy in light of Martha Rogers' Humanistic Theory. Rogers presents a humanistic and holistic view of nursing, describing the human being as a synergistic unit in constant interaction with the environment. Her principles, such as integrality, resonance, and helicy, emphasize the continuous dynamics between the human and environmental fields. Human and environmental energy fields are open and fluid systems in continual interaction and influencing energy balance. The transition from the nursing diagnosis "Disturbed energy field" to "Imbalanced energy field" marks an advancement in the understanding of energy practices. Recent evidence supports the effectiveness of Integrative and Complementary Health Practices (ICHP), such as reiki and therapeutic touch, in restoring energy balance. Rogers' holistic approach is essential for modern nursing, promoting the integration and well-being of the human being in a broad manner.
