Ionic Bonds, Covalent Bonds… and the Human Nervous System
In chemistry there are two primary ways atoms stabilise themselves.
Ionic bonds happen when charge is transferred.
One atom releases an electron, another receives it, restoring balance.
Covalent bonds work differently.
Nothing is given away. Instead, two atoms share electrons within a mutual field.
Interestingly, healing interactions often mirror these two dynamics.
Sometimes the body is holding too much charge — inflammation, tension, agitation, heat.
Other times the system is depleted or stagnant — coldness, laxity, exhaustion, dryness.
In these cases the body may need something like an ionic exchange:
excess discharge… deficiency replenished.
But at other times healing occurs through something closer to a covalent bond.
Two nervous systems enter a shared field of coherence.
Breath slows.
Muscle tone softens.
The system reorganises itself through resonance.
Nothing is forced.
The body simply returns toward balance and homeostasis.
This is one of the principles behind the work I call Spatial Energetics — supporting the nervous system so vital life force can move again with coherence.
Because often the body already knows how to heal.
It just needs the right conditions for balance to return.
