The+Human+Biofield

'Alternative due to inability to explain w/ paradigm of biomedicine oscillators within & without of self influence the field making it difficult to remain a simple measurable constant energy

Felt by every cell of the body to help maintain regulations - not just fields but carry/communicate @ the speed of light

"Electromagnetic Bioinformation" - Fitz Popp - beyond the mechanical concepts of energy reminescent of 'vital force' in ayurveda and naturopathy Differs as it's testable and beyond mere philosophy

A biophysical Model of Life -Life as an open system echanging matter and energy -Dissipative structure, expends energy to maintain itself -Responds to extremely low-energy fields, including EMF, both natural and artificial -Extremely subtle levels of energy can change dynamics & promote healing Human genome contains less DNA than a grain of rice does

Two Views: -Biochemical view: waste energy, just an excretion akin to urine -Biophysical view: essential to body regulation

Concepts: -Qi, Prana, Ki, etc. -Vitalism -Morphogenetic fields: Driesch, Gurvich -Biofield: Bischef, Popp, Van Wijk, Savva, Zhang, Tiller, Rubik

A reflection of life processes on a collective scale -high speed communication field -"Has to be something that brings coherence to the organism" -"No clear boundary exists between the organisms metabolically maintained EMF and those of the geophysical environment" - Frank Brown

Schuman resonance - essential to health of humans - needed to be added to space shuttles "Electromagnetic bio-information" - great effects by very low magnetic energy devices - less is more in biofield modalities - less energy has a greater effect - akin to homeopathy

May regulate the biochemistry & physiology of the body May hold the bridge between the body and the mind

Evidence: geocosmobiology, the many ways to stimulate acupoints, numerous alt. meds that work on this level

Predictions: Shifts in the biofield preced a cascade of symptomolgy on the physical level.

Ways to measure: Electrodermal measurements, infrared photography, measure biophoton emission, measure ELF and other body emmisions -PC-8 had a greater biophoton emission during Qigong healing

Assessment Technique by Rubik: -GDV camera for biofield imaging - high frequency (1024hz), high voltage (16v), short impulse (10 micro s) - similar to kirlian photography but less shocking to the system, presents coronas of all ten finger tips -EMAS for acupuncture meridian conductivity -Bacterial growth assay to bioemission

Mendel studied kirlian photos and devised associated organ health to different regions of the finger corona -Thumb and 3rd finger associated with the head

How does Qigong affect the biofield? Dayan (wild goose) qigong: density increased 10% overall post qigong - variablility of the fractal form coefficient decreased [more cohesive - more uniformly dense corona] Area & density went up while fractality ('sparkiness') went down beginners saw the greatest change between pre & post Healers had very bright & focused corona. Similar results w/ yoga - 'beautifil circles of light' stress states made this go away - increased fractality bad mood = energy contracts but the pattern remains varies according to time of day as well [correlates to the circulation of qi?]

Hypnotists hypnotizing eachother cause suggestive anethesis in one hand by drawing energy to opposite arm. the numbed hand had a larger corona than that the energy was moved to - this has yet to be explained.
