--> He conjectures that grounding techniques, which healers use to focus themselves, are a connecting into the earth's magnetic field to develop a synchronization of the healers' brain waves with the frequency of the earth's electromagnetic envelope (Brennan, 1993, p. 17).
Kirlian Photography
Kirlian photography, a special photographic process that allows a direct image of the body's energy to be seen on sensitive film, (Moss, 1979) has been found to be useful in detecting cancer. |
 Matthews show that the residual magnetism of the floor of the Indian Ocean changes polarity in a periodic fashion, convincing evidence that sea-floor spreading has occurred; since earth's magnetic field reverses from time to time, the magnetic "stripes" also indicate the rate of spreading

| These energy patterns fluctuate with the earth's magnetic field resonance of 7.8-8 hertz, which are called Schumann waves. Healers' brains synchronize both in frequency and phase with the Schumann waves; this is called field coupling. This coupling appears to provide access to a large field of energy for the work of healing (Brennan, 1993, p. 18).
THE ENDOGENOUS HEALING PROCESS
Healing is mentioned in professional literature in limited ways, focusing primarily on the healer, healing techniques, and wound healing. Healing involves individuals in their own process. |
 At the end of the nineteenth century, geophysicists found that the earth's magnetic field varied as the moon revolved around it. In the same period, anthropologists were learning that most preliterate cultures reckoned their calendar time primarily by the moon. These discoveries led Svante Arrhenius, the Swedish natural philosopher and father of ion chemistry, to suggest that this tidal magnetic rhythm was an innate timekeeper regulating the few obvious biocycles then known. |
 Even if pigeons could somehow correct for these anomalies, the earth's magnetic field would give no information on movements in an east-west direction.
It is widely assumed, however, that scientists have proved that birds migrate and pigeons home according to an internal magnetic sense. This is not true. Sheldrake has examined all the experiments done to evaluate this possibility. They give conflicting data and cannot be replicated by the scientists who initially performed them. |
 And just as different magnets interact with the earth's magnetic field with different strengths, the theories predict that different particles will hook up in different ways to the Higgs background. We perceive these interaction strengths as mass, so questions about mass come down in the end to the properties of the Higgs boson. The SSC was designed to produce those Higgs particles in large numbers, which is why it was so important.
So what do we do while we're waiting for another SSC? |
| During times of maximum sunspot activity, material flowing out from the sun distorts the earth's magnetic field, and the influx of cosmic rays increases. These fast-moving particles, when they collide with atoms in the atmosphere, produce a number of distinctive isotopes, including carbon-14 and beryllium-10 (beryllium is a light metallic element similar to magnesium). The beryllium-10 comes out of the atmosphere in snow and is incorporated into ice packs. Scientists can drill into the ice, measure the amount of beryllium deposited long ago, and reconstruct the sun's activity in the past. |
| The currently accepted theory for the origin of the earth's magnetic field involves the behavior of the planet's liquid core. About 2,000 miles beneath your feet, the temperature approaches 6000 degrees C (approximately the temperature of the surface of the sun) and the pressure is more than a million times that of the atmosphere. Under these conditions, the iron and nickel in the core are liquid. Farther in, under even greater pressure, the atoms are squeezed together into a solid, but a stretch of the earth's interior some 1,500 miles deep is liquid. |
| Why Does the earth's magnetic field Reverse Itself? if you've ever used a compass, you are probably familiar with the fact that the earth behaves like a giant magnet, with its north pole in Canada and its south pole in Antarctica. A compass needle, which is a tiny magnet, aligns itself in a north-south direction because of its interaction with this terrestrial magnet. What you may not know is that compass needles haven't always pointed north.
Actually, it wasn't until well into the twentieth century that scientists figured out why the earth had a magnetic field in the first place. |
| This would be fine except for the rather startling fact that the earth's magnetic field doesn't always point in the same direction. Every once in a while it seems to flip. There have been periods when the north pole was in Antarctica while the south pole was in Greenland or thereabouts. The most recent such period ended about 750,000 years ago.
You might wonder how we could possibly know what direction a compass needle pointed in so long ago. The answer has to do with the fact that outflows of molten rock, as in a volcanic eruption, have been fairly common in the earth's history. |
| Such theories seem very promising, but to my mind, the question of why the earth's magnetic field reverses itself remains the greatest unanswered question in the geological sciences.
How Well Can We Predict Volcanic Eruptions? accurate prediction of natural disasters has always been a goal of science. Today we can predict the behavior of hurricanes very well. Typically we have several days of warning, and even a major storm like Hurricane Andrew causes relatively little loss of life because people can be evacuated from its path. |
| A prominent feature of the magnetosphere is the Van Allen belts, areas of charged particles trapped by the earth's magnetic field.
Magnetotactic: Active movement toward a magnetic pole.
Mesoderm: One of three primary tissue layers in the embryo, which develop as differenriation (cell specialization) begins. It becomes the muscular and circulatory system in the adult.
Mitosis: Cell division. Actual division takes only a few minutes but must be preceded by a much longer period during which preparatory events, such as duplication of DNA, take place. |
| We can expect that some species would be better at it than others, just as pigeons navigate by the earth's magnetic field far better than most other creatures. Among humans, some may simply be more gifted than others through genetic chance or some facet of their upbringing. Then again, the psychic sense may be a universal ability that was forgotten or suppressed as we came to depend more and more on language to get our messages across.
If they do depend on the same system, psychic ability and regeneration may go together; they may generally be better among simple animals. |
| Several scientists have interpreted data from NASA's MAGSAT orbiter, and from measuremenrs of magnetic particles in lake sediments, as indicating that the earth's magnetic field strength is steadily declining, and has been for the last few thousand years. If so, we may already be entering the next reversal, but it's also possible we're merely experiencing one of the field's many short-term variations.
Nor can we be sure how serious a reversal would be for us. Hominids have weathered them in the past, but we have an extra reason for being uneasy this time. |
 Homing pigeons orient themselves using earth's magnetic field. There is also mounting evidence that humans and other animals possess a similar, if unconscious, "magnetic sense." Scientists at NASA have incorporated magnetic-field generators into the space shuttles; these devices generate a pulsing 7.8 Hz magnetic background signal to maintain optimum health and functioning of shuttle astronauts during space maneuvers. |
| Brown, a Northwestern University biologist who was studying the ubiquitous phenomenon of biological cycles—wavelike changes in metabolic functions, such as the alternation of sleep and wakefulness—was claiming that similar rhythms in the earth's magnetic field served as timers for the rhythms of life. Even though his evidence was good, no one paid any attention to him in the early sixties, but it seemed to me that we had something to offer Brown's effort. We had a link by means of which the effect could occur.
I wrote up the sciatic nerve measurements and added the observation on winter frogs. |
| Justa Smith's experimental work with enzymes used magnetic fields of 13,000 gauss, which are at least 26,000 times more powerful than the earth's magnetic field. One would certainly expect to find fairly intense magnetic fields around healers' hands if they were palming off magnets to fake their experimental results!
Additionally, healers' energies caused variable changes in the reaction rates of different enzymes, whereas magnetic fields could only cause a nonspecific increase in activity. The direction of change in enzyme activity always seemed to mirror the natural cellular intelligence. |
 The compass consists of a small, free-moving magnetized needle able to detect the presence of the earth's magnetic field. A device used to draw a circle is also called a compass. composite materials Materials, generally strong and lightweight, in which fibers of more than one sort of material are bonded together chemically. These types of materials were developed in the laboratory, and derive their strength from the combination of materials rather than from the interlocking of a uniform set of atoms.

| The origin of the earth's magnetic field is poorly understood at the present time. magnetic field reversals Changes in direction or orientation of the magnetic field of the earth that have occurred from time to time. Sometimes the north magnetic pole is near the geographic North Pole and sometimes near the South Pole in Antarctica. fa The causes of these reversals are not known, but at least several hundred of them have happened. magnetic north The direction of the north magnetic pole. magnetic pole The spot on the earth toward which a compass needle will point. |
 Changes have been measured in the earth's magnetic field that we've caused by the blinking of an eye.10) Everything, then, has an influence on us, on our energy field, either subtle or obvious. We can dismiss some influences as not important; others, especially if bothersome, we may want to investigate further. And as our own energy field is influenced by food, it's worth our time to explore what in turn influences food's energy field, and how. |
 The strength of a magnet is measured in gauss units (one gauss is equivalent to about twice the average strength of the earth's magnetic field).The Tesla is another common magnetic measurement: one Tesla equals 10,000 gauss. Every magnetic device has a manufacturer's gauss rating; however, the actual strength of the magnet at the skin surface is often much less than this number. For example, a 4,000-gauss magnet transmits about 1,200 gauss to the patient. |
 Simply stated, magnets perform a wide range of benefits because we are magnetic beings who derive energy from the earth's magnetic field. Bucci explains, "One reason we get sick is that the earth has lost a good deal of its magnetism which leaves the body in an unbalanced state. Additionally, we are bombarded by unhealthy energies." Magnets create overall benefit by restoring internal harmony.
It is important to realize that any old magnet will not do. The negative pole restores health and good energy to the system, while exposure to the positive pole is detrimental. |

Bernard Brunhes discovers that sediments that are baked into rock by lava contain the same residual magnetism from earth's magnetic field as the lava does; this shows that the residual magnetism is not altered by the direction of flow of the lava, but is a direct result of Earth's field when the lava cooled

| Winter found that during the moment of love's presence, a coherent series of spectral-frequency harmonics appeared in both the loving individual and in the local earth's magnetic field as measured at the nearby tree. (Measurements were in ELF frequencies up to and including 7.8 Hz.) Winter noted that the local earth's magnetic-field power spectra appeared to be coupled to the heart-rhythm spectra of the loving meditator.21 The implications of a resonant energy connection between the loving emotions of an individual and the local planetary magnetic field are profound. |
| The strength of the magnetic fields utilized in her earlier study were about 13,000 gauss, which is approximately 26,000 times the intensity of the earth's magnetic field.
Dr. Smith decided to carry out further variations on the enzyme experiment to see if there were differences between the healer's energy field and the magnetic field. She also utilized several other healers in her study of enzyme changes to see if they produced similar energetic results. |
| To find out whether the northern lights appeared simultaneously throughout the north latitudes in response to changes in the earth's magnetic field (they did), IGY organizers recruited a worldwide network of amateur observers to go out into their backyards every night and look at the sky. All of us got weekly reports on the state of the field from the national magnetic observatory at Fredericksburg, Virginia. |
