In [[Anthroposophic medicine]], the '''Etheric body''' or Life body is the body of formative forces responsible for life. In nature there are etheric forces that are not part of a specific organism (though the idea that the earth itself possesses an etheric body has been also extrapolated in more contemporary science such as in Lovelock's Gaia Hypothesis<ref>https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1029/RG027i002p00223</ref>). In living organisms such as plants, animals and humans, these etheric forces are organized into an independent body, though not a body in the physical meaning of the word<ref>https://www.anthromedics.org/BAS-0347-EN#list-sections-2</ref>. The etheric body is responsible for vitality, reproduction, regeneration and also the faculty of memory.
