Subtle body imaging systemsWritten by Simon Mitchell
Work with electrical fields that surround animals and plants suggests presence of an energy body. Studies using Kirlian photography show energy fields surrounding physical objects although there is still some debate as to what these actually are. One famous Kirlian experiment is 'Phantom Leaf Effect'. In this experiment leaf is cut or torn and top part removed. The Kirlian photographs taken reveal it still to be there as an etheric body, perhaps a 'holographic energy template' for leaf, although there is much discussion as to what this effect actually is.Electro-acupuncture systems show a way forward to combining best abilities of orthodox medical science with far more subtle and less invasive treatments. The Motoyama A.M.I. Machine compares electrical balance of two sides of a human body, by attaching electrodes to acupoints of 12 main meridians. This machine allows observers to analyse subtle energy streams in body. Acupuncture and philosophy behind it has an enhanced understanding of energy systems that nurture cellular growth and repair. The Voll machine or Dematron is another breakthrough device in this field that is relatively unheard of. Instead of monitoring terminal acupoints as in A.M.I. machine above, Voll machine measures electrical parameters of any single acupuncture point in body. It can show which organs are affected by dis-ease (or un-ease) by analysing electrical voltages associated with each spot. The Voll machine can help to find reasons for energetic dysfunction and has a 'treatment mode'. This can apply energy at right frequency through resonance, or is used to introduce other substances into electrical circuit for resonance information. This technique is used to match frequency of homeopathic remedies to patient. The Voll machine is also used to study ill-effects of environmental poisons in growing field of clinical ecology.

'Rowan tree and red thread - have witches all in dread' On May eve Rowan crosses used to be worn in UK and were sometimes fastened to cattle (or their barns) for protection against witches and other 'evil doers'. Legend has it that crosses had to be made without a metal knife to work properly. Rowan branches were also bought indoors on a Good Friday as this tree had a reputation for strong protection against psychic forces. This 'mish-mash' of folklore and Christianity indicates older uses of tree having been 'assimilated' into a religion that converted people by adapting their beliefs and practices to its own ends. 'Rowan' is most interesting of tree names with connections to both ancient Norse and Hindu/Sanskrit culture. Spelled several ways it is connected to old Norse word 'Runa' - meaning a charm - and being able to ward off effects of 'evil eye'. In even earlier times 'Runa' was Sanskrit word for 'magician'. 'Run-stafas' were staves cut from Rowan tree and inscribed with runes for magical (and most likely protective) reasons. The smooth bark is ideal for this purpose. The Rowan was such a sacred tree to Celts that many churchyards in Wales still include tree, not unlike Yew tree in English churchyards. The berries were much used by Celts for brewing wine, spirit, flavouring mead, ale, perry and cider. Try squeezing some of fresh berry juice and putting it into a gin and tonic - it makes a convincing alternative to Angostura bitters. The fresh juice is mildly laxative and good for soothing inflamed mucous membranes. In herbal medicine juice forms basis of an astringent gargle for sore throats and in 19th century it was used to treat scurvy - disease of vitamin C deficiency.
