Science and Spirituality - Human Bioelectricity

July - Aug 2006

<<   |   <  | |   >   |   >>

    Each living being has its own specific bioelectric field (Aura) around the body. This bioelectric field also exerts its influence on the environment   around the individual. Experienced yogis can learn much about an individual by sensing the bioelectric field in the proximity, without actually meeting the person. Psychometry is developed as a science of “divining facts concerning an object or a person associated with it by contact with or proximity to the object”. By way of extrasensory perception of a bioelectric field, a yogi can tell many secrets and facts without physically coming in contact of a person, place or an object.

However, the existence of a bioelectric field in human body does not necessarily require a conceptualization, nor does it need scientific equipments. The experiments given hereunder will satisfy the curiosity of the reader.


1.Manifestation Against the Backdrop of a Dark Curtain
: This simple experiment would demonstrate the presence of the invisible bioelectric field of the body.

Keep one of the chairs facing the least illuminated wall of the room and cover its back with the thick black cloth. Place a dimly lighted wick lamp on the chair. The light should not be visible on the cloth from behind the chair. Be seated on the second chair facing the back of the first chair at a distance of about a foot from the cloth. Resting elbows on the arms of chair, keep arms in an upright position with the palms and fingers pressed together (as in traditional Indian salutation `Namastey).  Now start rubbing both palms together vertically, slowly in the beginning, then gradually accelerate.

A close observation will show a fog-like hazy luminous emission emanating from the palms. The palms may also appear to glow with a couple of sparks flying out of them. Edges of nails would particularly appear luminous.


2. Sensory Perception of Bioelectric Magnetism
: This experiment shows the bioelectric magnetism present in the body.

Be seated on a non-conducting chair placed on the insulated floor. Keep body-parts away from any conducting surface (walls, floor or any other conducting body likely to leak the bioelectric charges from the body). Tightly press fingers of both hands together, leaving a little space between the palms. For about a minute keep the hands pressed together in this position. Now keeping the palms together, try to pull the fingers apart. The bioelectric magnetism of the body would resist the effort to separate them. A vibration will be felt in the fingers.


3. Changing Taste of Water by Passing Bioelectric Current: This experiment proves that bioelectricity flows through material objects coming in contact of the body, changing their physical and chemical properties.
In one of the tumblers, insert the tips of your fingers for about five minutes. While doing so conceptualize that that the bioelectric current of your body is flowing through the tips of your fingers into water in the tumbler.

Let some intelligent person (who had not been watching this experiment) closely observe the color of water in the two tumblers and also take a sip of water from both. The examiner would easily find a difference in the water kept in the two tumblers.

4.Conductivity of Bioelectricity During Physical Contact Between Animate Beings:
This experiment proves that during physical contact there is a passage of bioelectricity between animate beings.

Make the center of a table clearly visible by making a circular spot on it by the marking pencil. Let the participants be seated around the table forming a circular chain by placing their hands in such a way, that palms and fingers of each person rest on the back of those of the persons sitting on either side. Let each individual concentrate their sight on the spot in the center of the table. The flow of bioelectricity through their bodies will be felt as feeble tremors in their hands and other parts of the body.

5. Recharging The Bioelectrical Field of An Inanimate Organic Body by Human Bioelectricity
: The following experiment shows that by transmitting human bioelectricity, it is possible to delay the decay of organic matter after its “death”.

When a living being (animal or plant) “dies”, it begins to decay on account of gradual leakage of residual bioelectric charge of its body into the cosmic reservoir of bioelectricity. The following experiment will show that it is possible to replenish this loss of bioelectricity for some time with the help of human bioelectric transmission.

Keeping one of the objects selected for the experiment aside, look at the other intently at brief intervals with the thought, that it is being enlivened by your bioenergy flowing into it through your sight. It will be found that, the other object kept aside had undergone normal decay whereas that being subjected to the experiment is retaining its freshness. (Greater concentration is likely to dehydrate the object.)

A woman in France had reportedly developed an unusual bioelectric field in her body. She could prevent the decay of dead organic matter simply by looking at it. Besides observing the effect on plants, flowers and fruits, scientists verified this phenomenon by experimenting with various types of other objects like dead frogs, rabbits, fishes and pigs. Microscopic examination too confirmed the absence of bacteria in the experimented objects for weeks together. Besides, whenever some decaying organic matter was brought to this lady, she could destroy the bacteria responsible for the decay within moments, by gazing at the object.

6.Telekinesis by Bioelectric Transmission: It is an interesting experiment demonstrating the effect of bioelectric transmission on dynamics of material objects. Even children can carry out this experiment with amusing results. The effects are startling when there are a large number of persons performing this experiment together.

Let the experimenter be seated at a distance of about three feet from the freely suspended needle and fix his gaze on the needle. (There should not be any movement of air in the room to affect   free movement of the needle.) While concentrating the sight on the needle, let the participant desire the needle to move sideways, backwards-forwards, clockwise or anticlockwise.

After sometime the movements of the needle will be found `obeying` the intention of the participant. This experiment can also be performed by a large number of participants holding suspended pendulums steadily in their hands.

7. Building a Bioelectric Fence:  Like an electric fence constructed for protection, it is possible for an individual having a strong bioelectric field to build an invisible bioelectric fence for safeguard.  Such a fence does not permit an undesirable person to enter the safeguarded territory.

The following experiment will serve as an example. The experimenter draws a circle on the ground with a marker, thinking that a bioelectric fence is being built around the area. Ants and similar small worms having weak bioelectric fields will find this area impenetrable. On coming close to this fence, these will circumvent it as though it was built with hot sand.

If such a fence were drawn around a worm, it would find it difficult to come out of the confined space. Even if it crosses it at great risk to its life; it would appear miserable while moving through the confined space.

In the great epic Ramayana, it is told that Lakshman had drawn a similar fence (Lakshman Rekha) around Sita for her safety against the demon king Ravana. He dared not enter the fence and abducted her when she crossed the fence for giving him alms.


8. Scanning a Bioelectric Field
:  Hands placed on a sensitive photographic plate in a photographer’s dark room would produce x-ray like prints of their bioelectric field. Kirilian photography has been used to obtain similar prints from plants.

9. Producing a Bioelectric Shock
:  The experimenter stands at a short distance behind a person engrossed in some work and concentrates gaze on his spine or on the exposed part of neck, with the intention to startle him by giving him a shock; by sending a bioelectric current through sight. However deeply engrossed in work, the gaze will distract the subject. The sight of the onlooker will create an itching sensation on the part of the body being looked at and the subject will turn his head back to look at the experimenter.


10. Telepathy By Sending Bioelectric Thought Currents
:  Let a person be seated before you in comfortably relaxed, in a calm state of mind. With the mind of the subject before you as the target, concentrate on the forehead of the subject with the thoughts desired to be sent telepathically. The bioelectric waves carrying the thoughts being projected will enter the mind of the targeted person producing similar thoughts there. With a little practice, in most cases, this experiment produces encouraging results. However, where the subject has a vacillating mind or is obstinate by nature, the thoughts being transmitted may not be properly received.

Influence of Bioelectricity on Food Products:

Common man is hardly aware of the effect of “internal purity” of food on mind. In one of his books, Prof. Leadbeater, the founder member of Theosophical Society, speaks about the influence of subtle ingredients of food on human body. According to him, apart from the digestive matter, the food matter also carries with it certain subtle contents and our bodies absorb these as well. We meticulously take care of the external, physical cleanliness of food, overlooking the fact, that its internal purity is much more necessary than its physical purity.

Food products subtly absorb thoughts/traits of persons handling these for long periods. (Repeated right or wrong thinking becomes a part of habit, ultimately developing into   a trait of the person.) The imprints of these thoughts/traits on the edibles created by the bioelectric transmissions of associated persons are carried over to the mind of its consumer.

The “internal purity” of food is maximally affected by the morality and mental state (at the time of cooking) of its cook. Research tells us that maximum discharge of human bioelectricity takes place through the tips of fingers. Foodstuff repeatedly touched by bare hands and fingers cannot remain unaffected by the good or bad traits of the cook. It is true, that that while heating, many such internal impurities are removed. Nevertheless heating does not purify the food in totality.

Physical contact is not the only factor responsible for the internal impurity of food. Thoughts are waves of bioelectric current. As such, these are also propagated through sight while looking at things. (Hypnotists and mesmerists utilize this property of transmission of thoughts. The famous saying ` Love at first sight` too illustrates this phenomenon.)

Food is man’s favorite subject. Food products easily attract man. When one casts a glance on the edibles kept on the plate of a neighbor, the thoughts of the onlooker are also transmitted to these edibles. Food served reluctantly or by a person in an unhappy state of mind would certainly have negative effect on the eater. The same is true of the foodstuff forcibly snatched from somebody, or consumed alone in the company of several onlookers, and of the food earned by unfair means.

In market places, sometimes sweets and cookies and other delicious edibles are displayed in glass showcases. Many onlookers feel tempted, but for some reason or the other, do not, or cannot, purchase these articles. Little children and individuals, who cannot afford to buy these, particularly watch these edibles with a craving. Bioelectric charges of such suppressed desires of many persons continue to accumulate on these food items, making them unworthy of consumption. Whatever be their nutritional value, repeated consumption of commercial products so displayed makes one sick. For this very reason a natural food is considered more beneficial for health than a processed food handled by many persons and displayed in a showcase.

Being prepared with loving thoughts and care, a simple, inexpensive ordinary food prepared and served by family members is much more nutritious and satisfying than the cookies and delicacies acquired from a departmental store. The great Hindu epics Ramayana and Mahabharata narrate the incidents of Lord Ram and Krishna accepting simple edibles offered by the poor, turning down invitations by kings. When Ram greatly appreciated the jungle berries offered by Shabari and Krishna praised the preparation of leafy- vegetables served by Vidur, they did not do so merely to honor their hosts. They knew that the love and devotion of their hosts had enhanced the internal purity of the food manifold.
