Energy Fields & Electromagnetism: You’re More Than Matter
You’ve probably felt it: you walk into a room and can feel the vibe in before anyone says a word. The way, without words, someone’s presence either calms your system—or spikes your anxiety. The magnetic pull toward certain people, places, or possibilities.
What you’re experiencing is real. It’s not just a woo woo feeling to write off—it’s physics.
Your body emits an electromagnetic field. In fact, every living organism does. These fields are measurable, dynamic, and constantly shaped by your thoughts, emotions, breath, and physiological state. And just like radio signals or sound waves, your energy carries information.
At the intersection of science and spirituality, a new picture is emerging—one where you’re not just a collection of cells, tissues, and systems. You’re a living frequency. An energetic pattern in motion. A broadcast of belief, emotion, and soul.
And the more coherent your signal becomes- the more you’re able to entrain your frequency with a high frequency signal - the more clearly you’re able to embody clarity, vitality, connection, and purpose. So, let’s dive deeper into what coherence really is and how to create it within ourselves.
The Biofield: A Bridge Between Form and Energy
For thousands of years, healing traditions across cultures have described subtle forms of energy that influence health and vitality. Whether called prana (India), qi/chi (China), or ruach (Hebrew mysticism), these life force energies were seen as essential to well-being—even if they couldn’t be seen with the naked eye.
Today, science is catching up.
What Is the Biofield?
The term “biofield” was first formally introduced in a 1994 NIH panel to describe the complex, dynamic electromagnetic field generated by living systems. It encompasses:
The body’s electrical activity (measured via ECG, EEG, EMG)
Magnetic fields generated by organs like the heart and brain
Subtle energy fields that appear to coordinate biological processes but are not yet fully explained by conventional physics
Think of it as the informational interface between the physical body and the energy system—a bridge between chemistry and consciousness.
Scientific Recognition & Research
The biofield is more than a theoretical concept—it’s been studied in peer-reviewed research for its impact on health outcomes.
A 2020 review published in Global Advances in Health and Medicine identified over 200 studies on biofield therapies (like Reiki, Healing Touch, and Therapeutic Touch) showing positive results in pain reduction, anxiety relief, immune regulation, and wound healing.
Researchers at the University of Arizona and UCSF have investigated how subtle energy emissions from practitioners can measurably affect target cells, promoting regeneration and reducing inflammation.
Some studies suggest that DNA can respond to focused intention—implying a two-way relationship between consciousness and biology via the biofield.
These findings suggest that the body is not just a machine—it’s a resonant energy system that responds to vibration, attention, and intention.
Energy Fields and Emotional Imprints
Just like the nervous system, the biofield carries imprints of past experience. We all know trauma is stored in the body - but now, we know that trauma is stored in our biofield, as well. Traumas, chronic stress, or unresolved grief can lodge in specific parts of the field—especially around the energy centers (chakras), which correspond to developmental stages and core human needs.
For example:
Long-standing grief may be held in the heart field
Fear and scarcity often create constriction around the root center
Unspoken truths or suppressed expression can distort the throat’s energetic output
Clearing and stabilizing these imprints through practices like breathwork, sound healing, visualization, or energy rituals doesn’t just release old patterns—it rewires your field to hold a more coherent frequency.
The more coherent your field becomes, the more your biology, mood, and reality reflect that state.
The Heart: Your Most Powerful Energy Center
When we talk about “following your heart” or “tuning into your heart space for guidance,” we’re not just being woo woo (although we do love the woo woo)—we’re describing the most electrically and magnetically active organ in the body.
According to extensive research by the HeartMath Institute, the heart is far more than a pump. It’s a sensory organ, an intuitive brain, and an energetic broadcaster.
Your Heart Emits a Measurable Electromagnetic Field
The heart’s electrical field is about 60 times greater in amplitude than the brain’s.
Its magnetic field is up to 5,000 times stronger than the brain’s and can be detected several feet away from the body using magnetometers.
This field is not static—it fluctuates based on your emotional state. Love, gratitude, and appreciation create a harmonious wave pattern called heart coherence.
When you’re in a state of heart coherence, your internal systems—like respiration, blood pressure, and brainwave patterns—start to synchronize. The nervous system becomes more balanced. Cognitive function improves. And perhaps most importantly, your entire field becomes more coherent. Heart coherence = field conherence.
The Heart-Brain Connection
The heart contains its own intrinsic nervous system—sometimes called the “heart brain.” It has more than 40,000 neurons and can operate independently of the cranial brain. In fact:
90% of the signals between the heart and brain flow from the heart to the brain (not the other way around).
These signals affect the amygdala (fear center), the prefrontal cortex (decision-making center), and even influence hormone production like cortisol and oxytocin.
This means your heart isn’t just responding to how you feel—it’s shaping how you think, perceive, and respond to the world around you.
Emotions, Coherence & Heart Rate Variability (HRV)
When you experience frustration, anger, or anxiety, your heart rhythms become erratic and jagged—this is called incoherence. In contrast, feelings like compassion, gratitude, and appreciation create smooth, sine-wave-like rhythms—a state known as coherence.
This pattern is visible through a powerful biometric: Heart Rate Variability (HRV).
What is HRV?
HRV measures the variation in time between heartbeats. Even though your heart may beat at, say, 70 beats per minute, it’s not beating once every exact second. That micro-variation is a good thing—it reflects your nervous system’s flexibility and adaptability.
Higher HRV = a healthy, responsive system capable of switching between stress and rest with ease
Lower HRV = a rigid, dysregulated system often stuck in chronic stress or survival mode
HRV is influenced by both the autonomic nervous system and your emotional state—which is why it’s such a powerful biomarker of well-being.
Why It’s Hard to Stay in the Heart
If the heart is such a powerful source of coherence, why is it so hard for us to stay connected to this space?
The answer lies in trauma, conditioning, and unresolved emotional imprints. When the heart center has been wounded—through loss, betrayal, shame, or neglect—it begins to close; think of an invisible shield we build as a means to protect ourselves from experiencing pain again.
Energetically, this can show up as:
A tight chest or shallow breath
An overactive mind trying to control what the heart is meant to feel
Difficulty trusting others or letting love in
Disconnection from intuition and inner knowing
But the heart is never closed off permanently. Healing is always available. Through breathwork, somatic practices, and presence, we begin to re-sensitize the heart—to bring it back online as the guiding compass it was always meant to be.
Brainwaves, Resonance, and the Power of Frequency
Your brain and nervous system are also highly electric—producing brainwaves that correspond with different states of consciousness:
Gamma (32–100 Hz): Peak cognition, insight, expanded awareness
Beta (13–30 Hz): Focused, alert, analytical
Alpha (8–12 Hz): Relaxed, creative, meditative
Theta (4–7 Hz): Deep meditation, dream states, subconscious access
Delta (0.5–3 Hz): Sleep, regeneration, healing
When you enter alpha or theta states (through meditation - enter SoulPod 😉 - , breathwork, or sound), your body becomes more receptive. You’re not just relaxed—you’re open. You’re entering a neuroplastic window where new beliefs and emotional states can take root.
In this state, your frequency doesn’t just reflect your inner world—it becomes programmable.
And through the concept of resonance—where energy fields synchronize—you begin to influence and be influenced by the people, environments, and energies around you. (Which is why you might also start to notice yourself feeling more sensitive to the people you surround yourself with the more you start to do this work.)
Coherence attracts coherence. Frequency finds frequency.
The Future of Healing?
We’re entering a paradigm where health isn’t just about fixing symptoms—it’s about restoring flow. The biofield model invites us to view healing not as a mechanical fix, but as an energetic realignment with our natural state of wholeness.
In this new model:
Emotions are energy.
Intuition is information carried through the field.
Healing is the restoration of coherence—both inside and out.
And when we care for the field, the body often follows.
Healing Through Frequency
So what happens when trauma, stress, or unresolved emotion fragments your field?
The body adapts—by tightening, suppressing, overcompensating. Over time, this fragmentation can show up as:
Chronic fatigue
Brain fog
Disconnection from intuition
Difficulty regulating emotions
Physical symptoms without a clear cause
Energetically, this often maps onto specific energy centers:
Root: fear, survival anxiety, disconnection
Sacral: shame, suppression of emotion or desire
Solar Plexus: control issues, self-doubt, burnout
Heart: grief, walls around intimacy, people-pleasing
Throat: unspoken truth, fear of expression
Third Eye: confusion, lack of vision or clarity
Crown: disconnection from purpose, spiritual numbness
Healing is the process of becoming coherent again.
And coherence isn’t perfection—it’s a stable signal. A re-integration of the parts of you that were once fragmented.
You Are a Field, Not Just a Form
The mystics have said it for centuries. The scientists are now confirming it:
You are not just flesh and bone—you are vibration and light.
You are a rhythmic, resonant field that emits, receives, and transforms energy.
As researcher and author Dr. Joe Dispenza writes:
“Your personality creates your personal reality. And your energy is a direct expression of your personality.”
When you change your frequency—your dominant thoughts, emotions, and energetic patterns—your life begins to reorganize around that new coherence.
Not because you forced it.
But because your field became congruent with your truth.
