Biofield science may be applied successfully in a broad range of disciplines including biophysics, medical physiology, cell biology, ecology, and both classical and quantum physics.

Sciences that are contributing to a medical shift toward integrative medicine and the acknowledgement of existence of a biofield include biophysics, biology, psychology, and the developing fields of mind-body research of psychoneuroimmunology, and psychosocial genomics.

A Tibetan Buddhist, a neurologist, energy therapist, cell biologist, and a physicist all have understanding of the biofield and could provide valuable knowledge for a more complete understanding of this emerging concept.

Evidence of Biofields

Western biomedicine routinely examines electrical fields from the heart via electrocardiogram [ECG] and brain via electroencephalogram [EEG] as indices of clinical pathology.
The heart’s magnetic field, generated by moving electrical charges associated with electrical activity, can be recorded up to several feet from the body surface via a magnetocardiogram. Magnetic fields produced by the heart appear to carry information that may be detectable by other persons or animals.
Contemporary cell biology and biophysics provide evidence that endogenous electromagnetic and other types of fields play active roles in development, tissue repair, and an array of homeodynamic processes.
In photonics, the physical science of light generation, detection, and manipulation, ultraviolet light emission is observed during cell division.
Biofields explain fundamental properties of individual molecules by considering them as ordered electromagnetic structures. An example is interactions that occur at a molecular level such as those between hormones and receptors.
In Ecology, Gaia theory holds a view of that all organisms and their inorganic surroundings on Earth are closely integrated to form a single and self-regulating complex system, maintaining the conditions for life on the planet.
Biofield interactions also extend to planetary levels, effects of geocosmic fields on human health and behavior. For example, solar storms that significantly perturb the geomagnetic field correlate with increased rates and mortality from myocardial infarction.
Biophoton-mediated regulatory process including cell-cell communication, cell-cell orientation sensing, secretion of regulatory neurotransmitters, modulation of respiratory activity in white blood cells, and accelerated seed germination. This research suggests the existence of coherent biophoton fields that play fundamental roles in intercellular signaling and human health.
Identification of bioelectromagnetic medicine often associated with interaction energies which produce clinically significant effects such as enhancement of growth, wound repair, regeneration, and the reduction of pain and inflammation.
Field-like phenomena appear to contribute to the underlying principles of biological organization, including embryonic development and the coordinated maintenance of biological structure and function. For example, in complex organ regeneration or in limb regeneration in animals stimulated by externally applied electromagnetic fields.
Biofield Therapy Clinical Studies demonstrate a spectrum of beneficial results from the psychological and behavioral levels down to clinically relevant biomarkers.
Application of quantum theory to sentience, mind, and consciousness has shifted the view from biochemical neuroscience to a biofield-oriented approach producing theories of body-mind as a macroscopic quantum system. Increasing evidence of quantum signaling, communication, and conductivity in the cytoskeletal network of microtubules and the electric fields generated by synchronized oscillations of microtubules have been demonstrated to play key roles in the regulation of cell division and chromosome folding and transcription.
Evidence provided in biochemistry, cell biology, biophysics, and neurophysiology demonstrates the collagen matrix providing pathways for rapid intercommunication throughout the body, enabling the organism’s mind-body to function as a coherent whole. This research describes the mind-body as an interconnected system in which electromagnetic and quantum interactions act through field-coherent oscillatory activity to regulate the biological processes and mediate interactions correlated with sentience and mental activity.
Biofield interactions recorded in molecular biology, such as information encoded in DNA, hormonal receptor interactions, enzyme-substrate interactions are all examples of biofield activity which not be meaningfully understood from a reductionist viewpoint.
Electrically phase-coupled systems in neuronal networks give rise to cooperative behaviors across large numbers of neurons.
Living organisms have an immense network of internal and external interconnections across which information flows to modulate life functions. The continuous exchange of information in living systems to maintain their integrity is astounding. The whispering between cells and other units of life is critical to sustaining life and promoting healing.
The most definitive information flow in humans is from the top down, from intention to the material body, to affect health and healing with conscious intent purpose, context, and meaning. Typically information is thought to be carried by either energy or matter. Bell’s Theorem (quantum nonlocality) supports observations of instantaneous interactions between entangled states. The quantum potential function conveys active information everywhere as does the morphogenetic field suggesting information may thus be everywhere instantaneously, but is active only where it is specifically directed, for example through conscious intent.
