Abstract: In her article Samokhina analyzes the main provisions of the teaching about psychic energy in Agny Yoga philosophical psychology, or Living Ethics, one of the least studied teachings of the modern age created by Helena Roerich. Samokhina analyzes the views of Agny Yoga founders on the ontological status of psychic energy and the main source of such energy (conscious soul) in human body. The main part of the article is devoted to the analysis of Agny Yoga teaching about the features of psychic energy and its influence on an individual's health. In her research Samokhina provides a brief comparative analysis of the views of the Russian philosopher and psychologist Nikolai Grot and founders of Agny Yoga on the nature and source of psychic energy as well as how it manifests itself in a human organism. In the course of her research Samokhina used the hermeneutic and analytical methods including comparative analysis. Agny Yoga founders' views on the interdependence between the ethic content of individual's mind and physical health are compared to the hypotheses of some psychologists about existence of a special psychosomatic connection between psychic experience and physical state of an individual. In conclusion, Samokhina analyzes the importance of the psychosomatic factors for contemporary medicine and psychology.
