In recent years, there hasn't been any research done on this topic, so it's hard for me to comment strictly from a scientific perspective. From what I speculate after watching the link for a few minutes is that its a form of alternative "energy" medicine. Have a look at this link, studies date back from 1945 to 1976, but nothing in recent years.

I applaud that you brought it up, but I don't have enough information proving its evidence. Similarly, I don't see any like-minded science members on this site having anything else to add.
It was discussed in a more recent article located here:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1084175/This is a collection of diverse practices based on the alleged existence of a non-physical force called prana, chi, ka or orgone. This life-energy animates the human body as it is transformed into matter and physical energy through channels called chakras. Since it is non-physical, no instruments can detect or measure it. In this perspective, illness, ageing and death result from imbalances or blockages in the flow of life-energy; healing is achieved by re-balancing its flow through the body. Meditation is a central aspect of energy medicine, as it trains people to sensitise themselves to detect life-energy and to manipulate it. Best-selling authors (e.g. Deepak Chopra, Larry Dossey and Carolyn Myss) devote their books to these ideas. Energy medicine is at the core of many traditional forms of alternative medicine, such as Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine. Practices such as therapeutic touch, Reiki, qigong and tai chi are based exclusively on these principles. Some claim acupuncture, chiropractic, herbal remedies and homeopathy influence this life-energy, although other practitioners claim these practices have a purely physical mechanism of action. Questions of effectiveness and safety must be addressed here, but so too must the fact that spiritual and religious teachings are often presented in the guise of therapy. When health-care professionals offer or promote energy medicine, they should openly declare that this is based on ancient religious teaching and not on professional training. Barnum (1996) surveyed the popularity of these therapies among US nurses and commented, ‘Is the practice of the New Age nurse deceptive? Do patients’ weakened conditions simply make them targets of opportunity? If New Age nursing is care of the soul, is it also usurping the field of those perceived to be more prepared for that task, namely, religious priests, ministers, and rabbis? Or is the nurse a representative of a new religion?’
It states: "Since it is non-physical, no instruments can detect or measure it."
This contradicts e = mc
2, where energy has a mass times the speed of light squared. If it's non-physical, then it doesn't hold energy, then what the heck is it!?
