Before you answer, think about:
what kind of energy?
what plane you would draw it from if not from yourself?
would you have enough time to get it from some big complicated source?
would it be simpler to just take one for the team and use your own energy and suffer a hardcore burn out?
how much time do you think it would consume?
There's not a reliable physical way to measure the answers to those questions. It's not so much about supplying energy, as it is about fixing an imablance if you get to it quick - after that it's about re-establishing links between the bodies. The body takes care of itself on it's own fuel in the first instance, and in the second, there is energy required, but not a form of energy which has a standard unit of measurement. more than the novice is capable of applying in one instant with no preparation. With? If he/she is very talented. For the adept, the amount of energy is not only negligible, but not the point. The source of the energy is elemental in nature, electromagnetic in particular, that having it's definition as much wider a spectrum along the EM axis than say, electricity or magnetism. That is, both of those things, but also the higher grade of those energies which is too subtle to be measured as yet by instruments of science.
IN a sense, the adept is using his own energy, having developed a natural access to a deeper source of energy in his being than the novice. For the Adept, perhaps instantly, perhaps momentarily. For the less developed but still capable practitioner - that depends on a lot of things, namely his focus in the moment of the action, his familiarity with the necessary energies, and his true will to apply the energy towards the resurrection.
