You always use the energy from within yourself, even if you use it from "around you", you firstly have to take the energy into yourself, so it can adjust, or transform (for a lack of better term) to you manipulating it.

Taking energy in is basically charging yourself, because people who don't work a lot with energy run out of it fairly quickly, and need to recharge themselves.

For more info, I recommend going here: http://psi.wikia.com/wiki/Energy_Manipulation#Absorbing.2FReleasing_Energy or simply asking someone with knowledge about EM.
