The human energy field is an ancient fact
The halo commonly seen over the heads of spiritual teachers such as Christ and Buddha, and the painted images of light coming from the fingers of many of the gods of India in spiritual iconography, are just a few of the references to a phenomenon that ancient traditions have known for thousands of years and science is finally confirming: the existence of a human energy field.
Science has proven our electrical nature
The concept of the human energy field (or aura) is more common now thanks to the popularity of acupuncture. The human body is primarily water. The chemicals in our cells use this water as a conductor and generate electrical impulses that can be detected on the surface of our skin. In the early 1900s Saxton Burr, a researcher and professor of anatomy at Yale University School of Medicine, began a study which involved measuring the electrical potential of skin and other human and animal tissues.
His research led him to the discovery that all living things have an electromagnetic energy field that surrounds and permeates them. This energy field serves both as a matrix and a mold that preserves the “shape” or arrangement of any material poured into it, regardless of how often the material may be changed. This is the same process that pulls iron filings around a magnet in the same pattern regardless of how many times the filings are changed. Only by changing the shape of the magnet would you change the shape the filings would create. And just as a dented gelatin mold turns out dented looking gelatin, Burr discovered that a “deformed” energy field -- one with abnormal voltage patterns -- preceded physical and psychological disturbances. He also noted that physical injury and emotional trauma could, in turn, derange the body's electromagnetic field.
A disturbed energy field gives you problems
The results of Burr’s findings convinced him that normalizing an abnormal energy field could prevent the manifestation of clinical symptoms. His research gave scientific support to what energy healers have always known: balancing the human energy field is the most direct route to greater health and well-being.
Burr’s research allowed him to verify the existence of a human bioelectric field, but since he only had an instrument that measured electrical potentials, he based his conclusion about the magnetic aspect of the human energy field on his knowledge that all electrical impulses have corresponding magnetic fields. Since the magnetic fields of cells are infinitesimal and scientists, until recently, didn't have an instrument to measure them, they ignored them and assumed they were unimportant. But thanks to the invention of the “Super Conducting Quantum Interference Device” (SQUID), a machine that measures magnetic fields, the body’s magnetic fields are now measurable. In the 1960s researchers began to use the SQUID device to measure the magnetic fields of the body, and confirmed that all organs and tissues produce specific biomagnetic fields.
Proof that healers emit therapeutic frequencies
Energy field healers have spoken about the human energy field and demonstrated their ability to alter it, but until recently there has been no scientific evidence that could explain how this was possible. In the 1980s a series of studies were conducted using the SQUID device to study Therapeutic Touch, the first energetic healing modality brought into the nursing profession. In order to hasten healing, Therapeutic Touch is used to balance a patient's energetic field using the nurse’s hands as the treatment vehicle. The SQUID device showed evidence of a huge pulsating biomagnetic field emanating from the hands of Therapeutic Touch practitioners. The measurements showed that the frequency of the pulsations was not steady, but oscillated back and forth through a range of healing frequencies.
Your body is more “guitar” than “machine”
British physicist Herbert Fröhlich noted that a mass of cells in the body has specific collective frequencies that regulate cell division and repair. Normally these controlling frequencies are stable, but physical illness, injury or psychological trauma can disrupt and change the frequencies. If the area of disruption is small, the neighboring cells will tend to “reset” the correct frequency. In essence, the cells function as oscillators. An oscillator is any object that moves in a regular periodic manner, such as a plucked guitar string or pendulum. Two oscillators having the same natural frequency can develop sympathetic resonance, which means that the vibrations of one oscillator can reinforce those of the other. In the case of the disrupted cell, the neighboring cells pull the “sick” cell back into healthy sympathetic resonance. This process of pulling a cell’s frequency back on track is called “entrainment.” However, if enough cells go out of tune, the tissue’s stability gets lost and the new collective frequency becomes the controlling frequency, entraining the healthy area to vibrate at the “sick” frequency. Over time, if not “retuned,” the body goes on to manifest physical and/or emotional disease.
So, although conventional medicine thinks of the human body as a machine with parts that need fixing or replacing, in fact, the body is more like a multi-stringed instrument that has a hierarchy of frequency controller strings with the task of dictating the frequency for subordinate strings.
You are a collection of oscillators
Burr discovered that the electrical framework of the body creates a matrix that serves as the scaffolding for our physical form. Ancient systems of healing knew that this matrix is a result of the workings of several major and many subordinate bioenergetic centers. A bioenergetic center can be thought of as being an oscillator or vibrational center which vibrates at an innate frequency. These major vibrational centers are, in essence, the main frequency controllers of the cells of our bodies.
There are seven major vibrational centers (or chacras) in the body, each of which governs the workings of a set of organs and dictates the rate of frequency for those organs. Each organ has its own vibrational center with the task of receiving the dictated frequency and transmitting that frequency down to the cells of that organ and its related nervous and circulatory system. This entrains the tissues in the area to vibrate at the dictated frequency. Each joint also has its own vibrational center, and there are similarly thousands of minute vibrational points used in acupuncture. There are smaller ones still, that comprise the “nadis,” a system of energetic channels spoken about in Yoga.
Medicine acknowledges frequencies can heal
The activity of all these centers operate below the threshold of consciousness, and since their vibration dictates the frequencies in the surrounding area, having all of them vibrating at optimal levels is essential for good health and well-being.
Mainstream medicine acknowledges the healing properties of electrical frequencies to stimulate healing of fractures and muscles. These machines, although effective, generate a fixed frequency. The hands of energetic healing practitioners emit a range of frequencies that not only stimulate the growth of bones, but also any other tissue of the body needing repair, converting sick frequencies to healthy ones.
Psychological issues end up in your organs
The fact that disturbances on the psychological level can lead to physical illness is being acknowledged in pharmaceutical ads that talk about depression creating pain in the body. Although science is just arriving at the realization that each human being has an energy field that relates intimately to our physical body, it may be a long way off in its realization of how our thoughts and emotions are uniquely manifested in our organs. Our language speaks of this clearly when we use phrases such as “brokenhearted,” “full of gall,” “venting your spleen,” “you’re a pain in my neck,” “get off my back,” “you make me sick” and countless others.
Your energy field is a combination of many
Despite the fact that ancient traditions have spoken about the physical energy field for centuries, it probably will take just as long for science to confirm another fact that healers know to be true: each human being has more than one energy field. Just as the physical energy field and its vibrational centers are a result of the chemical workings of the physical body, each person has a mental energetic field that results from the workings of their thoughts, an emotional energetic field that results from the workings of their emotions and a spiritual energetic field that results from the workings of their higher aspirations. Each of these energetic fields have their own vibrational centers. Just as the physical energetic field vibrates at a collective frequency, each of the other fields and their centers vibrate at their own collective frequencies. And, just as the physical energetic field surrounds and permeates the physical body, the mental, emotional and spiritual fields and their centers interpenetrate and surround the physical form.
Energetic Healing balances your field
Therapeutic Touch, Healing Touch and Reiki are energetic healing modalities that involve balancing the whole physical energy field, its major and subordinate vibrational centers, the tissues of the body and some elements of the emotional field. Esoteric Healing involves balancing the major and minor centers in the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual energetic fields, and harmonizing the fields with each other. I use each modality as needed.
In a healthy person the energy field resonates harmoniously, but where there is “dis-ease” energetic healers can perceive the changes in the energetic field of the body. By balancing the frequencies of the body, practitioners can decrease the likelihood that illness will develop. This holds true for emotional and physical illness alike.
Studies prove that Energetic Healing works
Studies have been carried out to determine the effectiveness of energetic healing (Therapeutic Touch, Healing Touch, Reiki, Esoteric Healing) when used to treat conditions such as AIDS, cancer, anxiety, depression, and chronic illness and pain, just to name a few. Enhanced immune function, decreased pain and recurrence of pathology, as well as an increase in emotional well-being was noted, across the board.
One study that stunningly showed the power of energetic healing involved using it to treat “phantom limb pain,” a phenomenon experienced by most amputees. Not only did the energetic healing reduce the pain, but what was even more striking and reinforces the validity of a human energy field, is that the patients “felt” the energy interventions on their phantom limbs, despite the fact that the area being treated had no nerves.
Skeptics have attributed the results of energetic healing to the placebo effect or having a “caring presence,” but numerous studies on plants, animals and isolated cells have shown significant responses to energetic field balancing. Many studies on human subjects have created a control for “belief” using mock energetic healing, and the results showed that placebo treatments were not as effective. As far as “caring presence” is concerned, I have often treated unconscious patients on life support, and have watched the parameters on their machines improve as I worked on them, despite the patients being surrounded and ministered to by their loving family members.
