Science has finally proven Energy Healing is real — the study of the Biofield

Before I became an Energy Healer, I worked in the holistic medical space and was exposed to German New Medicine. It wasn't until I looked up my own health issues and discovered the emotional/energetic reasons behind them, that I started to believe. It made me feel very insecure and vulnerable to be honest.

The doctor I used to work for would do monthly live consults, and she would be able to ask them about different trauma / emotional wounding after hearing their health issues and they verified she was correct every single time. There were emotional patterns that were so clear to see when it came to different illnesses.

There has been plenty of scientific studies that I will get more into below, but they haven't been fully embraced by the scientific community and many dismiss it as the placebo effect.

There was recently a study completed by MD Anderson that studied the effects of energy healing on pancreatic cancer cells in both animal models and cell culture. Since the study was done on mice & cells, researchers were finally able to rule out the placebo effect.

And the results were comparable to chemo, but with zero side effects!

Suppressed Metastasis: The therapy reduced the ability of pancreatic tumor cells to migrate and form secondary tumors in the liver

Gene Regulation: Biofield treatments altered key cellular pathways, specifically downregulating FOXM1, a protein known to drive cancer cell proliferation

Cellular Voltage & Signaling: Exposure to the therapy caused up to a 36.7% reduction in cell voltage potential. It also restricted the spike of intracellular calcium, a marker associated with cancer cell invasiveness

Mind-Matter Connection: Advanced tracking via electroencephalograms (EEG) showed that specific shifts in a practitioner's brainwaves (beta and gamma frequencies) directly correlated with these cellular changes.

The history of Energy Healing

For thousands of years, healing traditions across cultures have described an invisible field of energy that surrounds and permeates the human body.

Traditional Chinese Medicine refers to it as qi, yogic traditions call it prana, and many Indigenous healing systems have their own concepts of life force energy.

Today, modern researchers use a broader term: the biofield.

While the idea of an energetic field influencing health was once dismissed as purely spiritual, a growing body of scientific research is investigating whether measurable energetic processes play a role in human health, healing, and well-being.

So what exactly is the biofield, and what does science have to say about therapies designed to work with it?

The Biofield

The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) defines the biofield as a "massless field" that surrounds and permeates living organisms. Researchers use the term as a way to study the complex electromagnetic, energetic, and informational processes that may contribute to biological regulation.

Rather than viewing the body as a collection of isolated organs and systems, the biofield concept suggests that the human body functions as an interconnected energetic network.

This perspective aligns with an important reality already accepted in modern medicine: the body is fundamentally electrical.

Every heartbeat is regulated through electrical impulses.

Every thought is generated through electrical activity in the brain.

Every nerve signal relies on electrical communication.

Our bodies continuously generate measurable electromagnetic fields.

The question researchers are exploring is whether these energetic processes influence health in ways we are only beginning to understand.

The Body Is More Electrical Than Most People Realize

When most people think about health, they think about chemistry.

They think about hormones, neurotransmitters, vitamins, inflammation, and medications.

While chemistry is incredibly important, chemistry often follows electricity.

For example:

• Electrocardiograms (ECGs) measure the electrical activity of the heart.

• Electroencephalograms (EEGs) measure electrical activity in the brain.

• Electromyography (EMG) measures electrical signals in muscles.

The heart generates the strongest electromagnetic field in the body, which can be detected several feet away using sensitive instruments.

Researchers at HeartMath Institute have studied how emotional states influence heart rhythm patterns and how those patterns affect the nervous system and overall physiological function.

This growing understanding of human bioelectromagnetics has encouraged scientists to investigate whether therapeutic interventions involving energy fields may have measurable effects on health.

What Is Biofield Therapy?

Biofield therapies are practices intended to influence the body's energetic processes to support healing and balance. I personally did my training through the Berkely Psychic Instute and was trained in many different energy healing modalities.

After getting in a grounded state called trance, I then connect to your energy and match your frequency. The best way I know how to describe how I do energy work is like reading Braille, but with my body. I run different energies through your body and will feel blockages and release the trapped energy / emotions..

Sometimes I will just feel the trapped emotion, sometimes I will experience the event connected to it. There can be trapped emotions from different periods of your life that belongs to you, but sometimes it's energy that you have taken on from others.

According to studies, our generational trauma goes back 14 generations, which is a very long time ago! We can carry generational trauma, inherited energetic patterns, energy that you have taken on from others, and even past life energy as well.

While there are many different approaches of energy healing that vary in philosophy and technique, they share a common principle: the practitioner works with the body's energy field to support physical, emotional, and psychological well-being.

What Does the Research Say?

Biofield science remains an emerging field, and many questions remain unanswered.

However, researchers have identified several interesting findings that warrant continued investigation.

Pain Reduction

Multiple studies have examined whether biofield therapies may help reduce pain.

A number of clinical trials and systematic reviews have reported improvements in pain perception among patients receiving therapies such as Reiki and Therapeutic Touch.

While results vary between studies, some researchers suggest these therapies may help regulate stress responses and activate relaxation pathways that contribute to pain relief.

Stress and Anxiety Reduction

One of the most consistent findings across biofield research involves reductions in stress and anxiety.

Patients often report:

• Increased relaxation

• Improved mood

• Reduced anxiety

• Enhanced feelings of well-being

These effects may be partly explained through activation of the parasympathetic nervous system, often referred to as the body's "rest and digest" state.

When the nervous system shifts out of chronic fight-or-flight activation, the body can devote more resources toward healing and recovery.

Improved Quality of Life

Studies involving cancer patients, surgical patients, and individuals managing chronic illnesses have found that biofield therapies may improve quality-of-life measures, including emotional well-being, sleep quality, and perceived stress levels.

The Biofield and Cellular Communication

One of the most intriguing areas of biofield research involves cellular communication.

Scientists now recognize that cells communicate through far more than chemical signals alone.

Research has demonstrated that cells also generate and respond to:

• Electromagnetic signals

• Mechanical vibrations

• Biophotons (ultraweak light emissions)

• Electrical potentials

Some researchers propose that the biofield may serve as an organizing framework that helps coordinate these communication systems across the body.

Although this area remains highly exploratory, it offers a fascinating avenue for understanding how the body maintains internal balance.

The Role of the Nervous System

Many effects attributed to biofield therapies involve the nervous system.

When people experience chronic stress, trauma, anxiety, or emotional overwhelm, their nervous systems often remain stuck in a state of hypervigilance.

This prolonged stress response can contribute to:

• Sleep disturbances

• Digestive issues

• Hormonal imbalances

• Increased inflammation

• Emotional exhaustion

Biofield therapies (energy healing) help shift the nervous system toward regulation and coherence.

Even critics of energy healing often acknowledge that relaxation, therapeutic presence, and focused attention can create meaningful physiological benefits.

Whether these effects are entirely neurological or involve additional energetic mechanisms remains an active area of scientific debate.

Why Biofield Research Is Challenging

One reason biofield science remains controversial is that it is difficult to measure.

Unlike blood pressure or blood glucose levels, energetic interactions may be subtle and influenced by numerous variables.

Challenges include:

• Lack of standardized measurement tools

• Variability between practitioners

• Differences in patient sensitivity

• Difficulty isolating energetic effects from placebo responses

Many emerging areas of science initially faced similar obstacles before better technology became available. I am SO exited to see where the science takes us in the coming decades.

Our tools are still evolving, but we are in the beginnings of Pluto in Aquarius which brings about radical changes in technology. So stay tuned!

A Bridge Between Ancient Wisdom and Modern Science

For thousands of years, cultures around the world described energetic systems long before modern instruments existed.

Obviously I wouldn't do this work if I didn't full hearted believe in it's ability to help people heal.

Understanding and taking care of our energetic field is just as important as our physical and mental health. They are all interconnected and we need to address them all.

I have seen people's bodies heal when getting to the emotional root of their illnesses and believe our physical health starts in the energetic field. And I can't wait for science to catch up to what energy healers have been saying for thousands of years.
