You are present on our beautiful Earth at one of the most momentous times our human family has ever experienced. There is a massive acceleration in consciousness. We are growing and evolving at every increasing intensity. And all of this is being accompanied by just as massive chaos.
Many folks are evolving to the point where it is necessary to work with our energy and biofield (the scientific term for aura or auric field) CONSCIOUSLY and RESPONSIBLY.
In 1992 a committee of specialists in Complementary, Alternative and Integrative medicine gathered to define the field of Biofield Science and to have the National Institutes of Health accept it as a viable area of research. This research will provide an expanded understanding of foundations of biology and also energy medicine.
The term Biofield was defined by the committee as “a massless field, not necessarily electromagnetic, that surrounds and permeates living bodies and affects the body.”
What have we learned so far about the Biofield?
Here is a short list of information available about the biofield but it is a good start.
a. More information about the human energy field is emerging from the scientists involved with the Foundation for Alternative and Integrative Medicine (FAIM). In her article, “Measurement of the Human Biofield and Other Energetic Instruments” Beverly Rubik, PhD states:
“The human body emits low-level light, heat, and acoustical energy; has electrical and magnetic properties; and may also transduce energy that cannot be easily defined by physics and chemistry. All of these emissions are part of the human energy field, also called the biologic field, or biofield.”

b. The biofield consists of higher frequencies of light. The colours of chakras were measured by Valerie Hunt and her instruments.
c. We know that the biofield is non-local, or not physical as we experience it. It is constantly in motion.
d. The field created by the heart as measured by the scientists at HeartMath Institute is a part of this overall biofield. The heart’s field carries emotional information and can be sensed by others.
e. The biofield includes the chakras and meridian systems.
f. The biofield also consists of what we might call the mind field that flows throughout the body and beyond.
g. The biofield connects directly with the endocrine system at a physical level and to universal energy or universal awareness or mind at the non-local level.
h. The biofield carries emotional energy within it and expands or contracts with our emotions. Positive feelings expand the field; negative feelings contract the field. So do thoughts. It is essential to become an avid student of your thoughts.
i. Whatever you experience through your senses is registered in your biofield first, then the body.
Getting to know your field
Part of accepting responsibility for your own energy and how your biofield transmits this energy is to become better acquainted with your biofield. Here is an exercise to help you tune into your biofield.
Sensing outside of your skin
Emotions can be localized in the physical body. They are also projected out into your biofield. They can also be projected to other people. (That is a whole other article.)
1. Bring your awareness to the air just outside of your skin to about 6 to 12 inches away from your skin. Notice if there is any sensation there. You are gathering information. You might notice a sensation or you might not. Write down what you notice in your journal.
2. Now, think of something recently that made you feel frustrated or angry. Be with this feeling and really sense it for about one minute. After this minute, shift your awareness to the air just outside of your skin to about 6 to 12 inches away from your skin. Notice if there is any sensation there. Notice if it feels differently from your experience in #1. You are gathering information. You might experience a sensation or you might not. Write down what you notice in your journal.
3. Next, think of something you are grateful for. Be with this feeling and feel it expand for about one minute. After this minute, shift your awareness to the air just outside of your skin to about 6 to 12 inches away from your skin. Notice if there is any sensation there. Notice if it feels differently from your experience in #1 and #2. You are gathering information, you might notice a sensation or you might not. Write down what you notice in your journal.
I invite you to play with this awareness over the next week, or until my next blog. Your biofield, especially when it is expanded, connects with everything in your environment and is affected especially by other people in your environment. Your biofield shifts whenever you are in the mall and when you are walking in a forest or by the river.
Mastering Energetic Boundaries
I am working on a new course called “Mastering Energetic Boundaries,” that will be launched this fall. With so many people awakening to new ways of understanding energy, there is great need to learn ways to set strong boundaries for managing our energy as we navigate these chaotic times.
Please reply to this newsletter and let me know if you may be interested in this course.
In Health and Harmony,
