ABSTRACT
Many practitioners from conventional psychotherapeutic backgrounds find energy psychological methods intriguing, perhaps exciting, but also problematic. Bruce Lipton is a cell biologist who strongly supports energy psychology methods and perspectives. Lipton goes on to point out that it is now well-established that energy fields of the electromagnetic spectrum profoundly affect or disrupt biological regulation. Such energies include microwaves, radio frequencies, visible light spectrum, acoustic frequencies, extremely low frequencies, and scalar energy. As early as 1923, Georges Lakhovsky, a Russian engineer, built an apparatus to measure microvoltages from human cells, plants and microbes, and was able to demonstrate oscillations in the radio and colour frequency spectrum emitted by living organisms. James Oschman draws attention to the work of scientist-acupuncturist Yoshio Manaka, who has developed the idea of the ‘X-signal system’ concerned with fundamental aspects of energy and information flow. Biologist Rupert Sheldrake has over a number of years been developing the theory of morphic fields.
