Editing Energo-Chromo-Kinese (section)

==History and organization==
ECK uses many associations and societies (including Connaissance ontologique universelle et recherche biologique énergétique (COURBE), Energo 8 international, Energo conseils, Jéricho 3000, Association pour la recherche en médecine énergétique and SOS Spasmophilie) and is particularly active in the [[therapeutic]] and [[medical]] fields.<ref>{{cite book |first=Jean-Marie |last=Abgrall |authorlink=Jean-Marie Abgrall |title=Soul snatchers: the mechanics of cults |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=QoFJIJr57b8C&q=energo+chromo+kin%C3%A8se&pg=PA38 |year=1999 |pages=38, 39 |publisher=Algora |isbn=9781892941381 |accessdate=16 September 2009}}</ref> Centers and schools were subsequently established to teach the beliefs of the group, which won over business executives and major corporations, but especially doctors, dentists and [[kinesiotherapist]]s.<ref>Jean-Marie Abgrall, ''La mécanique des sectes'', 2002, p.50</ref> Customers who attend these four-degree courses become "kinergists". The doctrine is a "[[gnostic]] [[pantheism]]" and is explained in two books written by Patrick Véret: ''La Médecine énergétique'' and ''La spasmophilie enfin vaincue'', respectively written in 1981 and 1985.<ref name="Ref1">{{cite web |author=Centre Roger Ikor |title=Energo Chromo Kinese (Ordre nouveau des Templiers opératifs — ECK) |url=http://pagesperso-orange.fr/sos.derivesectaire/FICHES/energo_chromo_kinese.htm |work=Les sectes - Etat d'urgence |publisher=SOS Dérive sectaire |language=French |year=1995 |accessdate=16 September 2009}}</ref> According to French cult consultant [[Jean-Marie Abgrall]], ECK doctrines "represent an amalgam (or a synthesis, according to its proponents) of various theories referring to human "energy" — mainly Chinese medicine and Vedic medicine. According to ECK, the human body has seven energy centers that vibrate on the same frequencies as certain colors or certain sounds."<ref>{{cite book |title=Healing or stealing?: medical charlatans in the new age |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=kel6_1aN5JwC&q=energo&pg=PA231 |last=Abgrall |first=Jean-Marie |year=2000 |language=French |pages=182–87| publisher=Algora |isbn = 9781892941282}}</ref>

On 22 February 1993, the French branch of the organization was dissolved by a court decision of the [[Tribunal de commerce]] of Paris and the founders split off. '''Véret''' founded the Nutrition énergétique des organes et des méridiens (NEOM), led the Ordre du temple de la Jérusalem céleste (OTJC).<ref name="Ref1"/>

The movement is currently active in France, Switzerland, Spain, Italy, Canada, the United States, Portugal, Australia...<ref>{{cite web |author=Jean Vernette et Claire Moncelon |title=Energo Chromo Kinese (Ordre nouveau des Templiers opératifs — ECK) |url=http://pagesperso-orange.fr/sos.derivesectaire/FICHES/energo_chromo_kinese.htm |work=Dictionnaire des groupes religieux aujourd'hui (religions - églises - sectes - nouveaux mouvements religieux - mouvements spiritualistes) |publisher=SOS Dérive sectaire |language=French |year=1995 |accessdate=16 September 2009}}</ref> In France, the group seems to be in the decline.<ref>{{cite web |title=Sectes: pourquoi elles envahissent l'Europe |url=http://www.lexpress.fr/informations/sectes-pourquoi-elles-envahissent-l-europe_599841.html |work=L'Express |language=French |date=13 October 1994 |accessdate=16 September 2009}}</ref>
