ENERGY HEALING: Data, Angels & Magic Feathers
For centuries, humans have struggled to validate, understand and explain the phenomena of healing. Healing obviously works, sometimes, in some circumstances, for some things-but how? and why?! Various theorists have invoked undiscovered "energies," non-material spirits, God(s), and quantum or magnetic forces to explain the mechanisms underlying the indisputable reality of healers and their impact on Reality. Ordinary science has been able to disregard healing effects for years due in part to the lack of a unifying theory of mechanism. In this address, ISSSEEM President Jerry Wesch offers a personal observation of the "state of the art" of understanding the healing phenomena that we have gathered to celebrate. Looking at both the scientific data and the traditional wisdom, the discussion ranges through "what we know for sure" and where we might not be so sure at all in our pursuit of the mechanisms or Realities behind the well-documented healing phenomena. Prepare to let go of your favorite scientific and metaphysical "Magic Feathers!" This paper is based on Dr. Wesch's Presidential Address made at the Thirteenth Annual ISSSEEM Conference, Return ofthe Sacred Science: Celebrating the Mysteries of Healing Qune 19-25, 2003)
PHYSIOLOGICAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF A MIND/BODY THERAPY ON CLAUSTROPHOBIA
A preliminary study was conducted to quantify the effects of a specific form of therapeutic intervention on claustrophobia using methods from an emerging field called energy psychology, which uses the acupuncture system to reduce or eliminate irrational anxiety and fears. The treatment includes a form of self-applied acupressure, focused thought, and structured breathing exercises to effect a rapid desensitization of the feared object or situation. Four claustrophobic and four normal individuals were rectuited. The claustrophic individuals were measured with the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) and physiological measures of EEG, EMG, heart rate, respiration rate, and measures of the electro-conductance within the acupuncture meridians. The results when compared with normal individuals showed that a 30-minute treatment appeared to create reduction in EMG for the trapezius muscle; changes of EEG Theta wave activity and changes in the electrical conductance between acupuncture points along a meridian pathway. The measures pre-and post-treatment on the STAI for the experimental group were significantly lower even at a two week followup. This pilot study suggests that specific physiological and psychological changes occur for claustrophobic individuals after undergoing an energy psychology treatment. Further investigation appears warranted
INFLUENCE OF SUBTLE ENERGETIC CHANGE IN WATER ON THE HUMAN ENERGY STATE
The normal functioning of an organism depends on water and its properties. The role of the water is vital for human life. Most important is that the water should not only be safe, but also well suited for constant daily use, rendering beneficial effect on the organism. In the present work different types of water were used to determine its influence on the quality of life. The quality of life was measured using the Profile of Mood State (POMS) questionnaire. The Gas Discharge Visualization (GDY) method was applied during six weeks to people drinking their usual water, during the next six weeks when mineral water was used, and the last six weeks when the same mineral water was taken but after subtle energetic changes at the natural energetic deposit [BAE (Bio Active Energy) Synergy Liquid]. Significance of results was assessed by the Wilcoxon and sign statistical tests. After using BAE Synergy Liquid, a statistically significant decrease was obtained for the following POMS parameters: tension-anxiety, depressiondejection, anger-hostility, fatigue-inertia, and confusion-bewilderment. At the same time, forceactivity parameter was increased, as well as GDV parameters: Area and Intensity under normalization of GDV Activation. The use of mineral water which underwent subtle energetic changes at the energetic deposit (BAE Synergy Liquid) reduces anxiety and aggression, raises emotional tone, and also raises the general energetic state of the organism. The GDV method also discloses statistically significant distinctions between mineral water and mineral water which underwent subtle energetic changes at the energetic deposit while its chemical structure remains the same
EXTRACTING THE ELIXIR OF LIFE
We are living in extraordinary times. Over the next twenty years, humanity is facing opportunities to expand consciousness far beyond what is known today. To help us traverse these unknown waters, our ancestors left behind esoteric maps carefully encrypted within the stories of ancient mythology and the science of astrology. But these tales do more than ensure our survival. They remind us that first and foremost, we are eternal beings, and they reveal alchemical methods to extract the famed elixir of life – so that we may experience the unlimited world of creation, once only available to the gods and goddesses
EXPERIMENTAL CONFIRMATION OF THE REICH ORGONE ACCUMULATOR THERMAL ANOMALY
Experimental investigations were undertaken by the author, of the thermal anomaly (To-T) inside the orgone energy accumulator (ORAC), a phenomenon firstly observed by the late Dr. Wilhelm Reich, who invented the ORAC device. This thermal anomaly, by the theory of Reich, is produced from the rarified motional-pulsating orgone energy continuum which is concentrated inside the ORAC, producing a frictional thermal heating of the air. Discussion is given on the experimental proofs standing behind Reich’s theory and claims, drawing attention to similar concepts in the modern sciences. The orgone energy is similar in many respects to the older luminiferous cosmic ether in that it fills all space, but also fulfills the role of an atmospheric-biological life-energy, in that it is pulsatory and excitable, and charges living tissues. In the To-T experiment, air temperature was measured inside the upper part of a 10 cm cubical ORAC, and contrasted to the temperature within a thermally-balanced but non-orgone-accumulating Control enclosure, following the protocols of Reich. Exceptional care was taken in the construction of the apparatus and in control procedures, with instrumentation calibrated down to ~0.002°C. The experiment was undertaken in a well-ventilated but fully dark-shaded outdoor thermal shelter specially constructed for the evaluations. Under the optimal conditions for ORAC functioning (i.e., low humidity, light or no winds, clear skies), a cyclical positive thermal anomaly was systematically detected, with an average of +0.13°C differential in two 10-day experimental runs presented here, with maxima peaking daily around +0.5°C warmer than the Control, and minima at around -0.1°C. The experiments confirmed Reich’s claims of a slight spontaneous heating effect inside the ORAC, which has no known energy source by classical “empty space” determinations
