BIOFIELD. What is it, what does it mean, how to support it? Share it far and wide.
The biofield is the body’s natural energy and communication system. That's in an oversymplistic way. Yes energy - as in ELECTRIC, not meant in a spiritual, or some inaccessible esoteric way.
It is important to know what is and what can disturb or regulate it, because it influences ALL our physiological functioning. Our health depends on it.
Medicine is changing and evolving, catching up with what energy healers know for millenia! However, new digital monitoring, telemetry (automated, remote collection and transmission of data) and biodigital convergence (growing inseparable merging of digital technology and biological systems) impact DIRECTLY our health and not exactly in a positive way even though they bring convenience and more control. But control which benefits whom exactly? People who collect data, or you and your biofield? More on that in another post.
Biofield is what energy workers call the aura and it is very much NOT a woo-woo notion, it is a very measurable electro-magnetic field with strongest signals coming from the heart (measurable with ECG - electrocardiogram) and brain (measurable with EEG - electroencefalogram). Our biofield is quite complex, it goes beyond where our skin ends around us 5-6 feet and it's often depicted as a torus bubble surrounding us.
Our biofield incorporates fascia which is a living matrix of fibres permeating all our biological structures (not just surrounding organs as previously thought as recent as even a few decades ago).
Both heart and brain are electric. Any moving electric charge produces a magnetic field. That's plain physics. Heart is always in motions. About 86 billion neurons in our brain are always firing signals to support life. The movement of ions (sodium, potassium., calcium, chloride) across cell membranes create electrical fields. That's how we get nerve impulses, heart rhythms, muscle contractions, brain waves. Again, electric movement creates magnetic fields.
Then we have hormones. Pressure (from clothes, touches, environmental factors because we don't float in thin air, we breath, we wear shoes, we wear clothes, we touch people, we hold things).
Then there are cells that produce biophotons through our DNA, which influence metabolic processes.
We don't need to be doctors, scientists, microbiologists, or quantum physicists. Just to educate ourselves with basic understanding. Once we understand this, we gain access to our own instructions manual.
Unlike machines, being human is an art, is not just science because there's still guesswork due to ancestry, psychological and physical environmental factors which shape each individual's unique neurobiology. But at its core, the biofield obeys predictable biological and physical laws. And one thing is that it will always tend to homeostasis (perfect balance between interdependent elements).
How to support your body to restaure biofield homeostasis and implicit mental, physical and emotional health?
Tuning forks, sound healing with gongs and crystal bowls and singing. Listen to music that you enjoy. Work with crystals. Do any hands off energy healing modality like Reiki, qi-gong and tai chi. Do hands on therapeutic practices like Bowen Therapy, which I offer in my clinic in Manchester.
At home, you can ground yourself by walking barefoot on grass, sand, soil, hands over heart breathing consciously, get sunrise and sunset sun exposure.
Reduce devices that emit strong electromagnetic fields (EMF radiation) like mobiles and other electronic devices (yeah, easy to say, hard to do!), and microwave ovens.
Do not wear wi-fi/bluetooth electronic devices on your body (like smart watches, body signal monitoring fitness rings or bracelets, etc).
Eat food slowly in good company (protects the heart AND brain), learn a new language, learn to dance, create art (ANY art form!). Love, make love, kiss often, meditate.
Walk in nature.
These are just SOME modalities to support your biofield. Your heart and brain will love you more. Every single cell in your body will love you!
FUN FACT (if you are a nerd, like me!) Fascia is super dense with sensory neurons (up to 10 times more than muscle), making it a massive sensory organ that contributes to proprioception (body awareness) and pain processing. Bowen Therapy alleviates adhesions in the fascia, reduces chronic pain, improves posture, balance and mobility, reduces stree-related tension and rigidity.
Bowen Therapy is a holistic, non-invasive remedial body technique designed to initiate the body's innate ability to heal itself and restore homeostasis, rehabilitate your fascia patterns and regulate your nervous system. Bowen is good for your biofield.
