sometimes stuffs that can be put under the term "occult science" is relative and it's definition may depend on culture, age, and any other factor...eventhough Mr. Webster may define it objectively...
I've always consider pranic healing to be occult... "energy follows thought", is not that simple...If you have clairvoyant eyes, giving energy to others is not that simple...sometimes it's way beyond words...in the sense it's secret...there's always something hidden...
just my thought here

I understand, the frenzy of the so called "Occultism" w/c created a bad image of the ancient art.
To some it becomes a glamor to be considered an occultist.
True Occultism in its truest sense is never publicized in a bondpaper pasted on a wall.
Inviting people to open the third eye? to rise the kundalini?
True occultist would not even casually talk about it. Reason why to be silent in this aspect of endeavor is not just a virtue but a sense of knowing why on the first place its considered an occult.
And with regards to the phenomenon of energies that can only be seen clairvoyantly still it belongs to the physical matter only a bit finer, hence nothing occultic about it.
There are 9 sidhis in the standard of occult science that can be considered as Occultism, & energy or pranic healing is not one of them, simply because its an activity of the lower quarternary, though finer since its etheric matter but still its physical.
