THE SCIENCE OF BIOENERGETICS

to aid in determining the state of your overall health

Acu-Points

Modern bioenergetics has its roots in the Chinese model of acupuncture and wellness. For centuries, the Chinese have known that acupuncture meridians are associated with different systems of the body–organs, glands, teeth, etc. They found that the flow of energy along the meridians correlated with the degree of wellness of the person and that this energy could be accessed through specific acupuncture points along each meridian.

Updating an Ancient Science

About one-half century ago, the science of bioenergetics was created in Germany by Dr. Reinhold Voll, M.D. Today, his method is called Electroacupuncture According to Voll, or EAV. Voll used equipment to measure the energy flowing (or not flowing) through these acupuncture meridians. He found that the energy flow determined the degree to which the body was in balance (homeostasis). Today, bioenergetic testing is an effective method for measuring imbalances in the body and is a widely accepted medical practice throughout Europe and Canada.

Yesterday’s Refinements

In the 1970’s, Dr. William Tiller, a professor at Stanford University, found that the skin has unique electrical properties, especially over the acupuncture sites on the meridians, or energy pathways, of the body. These points are called Control Measurement Points (CMP) and can be used to access information about the energy flow in a given system or organ.

The human body is a complex sensing organism with innate intelligence capable of processing everything that enters into its environment. Processing stimuli thousands of times per second, the body strives to maintain homeostasis, or balance, between systems.

It is believed that illness appears as an imbalance of energy in the meridians long before it manifests physically. So remarkable is the body’s drive to maintain balance that even in the face of extreme stress, we are often unaware of any imbalance until the body’s coping mechanisms are overloaded and physical symptoms appear. For example, ulcers, migraines and aching joints do not develop suddenly, but over a long period of time.

An imbalance at any level, whether it is physical, emotional, or spiritual, will compromise the quality of one’s health. The ability to identify stress imbalances at a sub-clinical level provides an ideal opportunity for preventative stress and health management.

Today’s Advancements

According to Dr. Richard Gerber, M.D. in his landmark book, Vibrational Medicine, the acupuncture meridians are the conduits of energy flow that make up a subtle energetic network. It has been demonstrated that the electrical characteristics of the meridians, as measured through the acupoints, contain important information about the status of the body’s internal organs.

Gerber points out that the subtle energies flowing through the meridians are not electrical in nature, but are able to induce electrical fields and currents because of their magnetic properties; these energies are a manifestation of the life-force which animates and energizes living systems. He goes on to state that when this flow of energy in the meridian to a particular organ is deficient or unbalanced, patterns of cellular disruption occur.

The meridian system is, then, to the flow of energy what the circulatory system is to the flow of blood, what the nervous system is to the flow of nerve impulses, and what the lymphatic system is to the flow of lymphatic fluid. The energy in the meridians is information for every organ, gland, or tissue along that meridian on how it is to function.

Helping You Get Better

Through advances in technology, your practitioner can tap into your body’s own communication pathways to discover stresses on the various organs and systems. This will assist the practitioner in establishing a protocol to bring your body back into balance, and thus, back onto the road towards good health.
