Connective Tissues: collagen molecules are surrounded by a thin layer of water molecules, which if they were aligned, would allow conduction of electrical signals.  This could explain why pressure in one part of the body can send currents of electricity throughout the whole.

All body tissues demonstrate a piezo-electric effect,
generating electrical fields when mechanically compressed or distorted.  Both ho and Oschman theorise that cells acts as 'piezo-electric units' and may function as solid-state systems. Muscle fibres generate large amplitude, low frequency potentials when contracting.  The heart emits strong electromagnetic pulses. The whole musculoskeletal system is a self-regulating, bodywide network of interacting electrical frequencies which can be read by it's cells as command codes.

The central nervous and vascular systems stream and shimmer with impulses, currents, circuits and fields.

The skin is a flexible capacitor maintaining a 75 milli volt pd
between the negative outer corneum and the positive subdermal layer.  It stores this charge like a battery.

External fields:  The electrical and magnetic field frequencies generated by the body electric, especially by the heart and brain, can be detected up to several feet away. When we are standing by/touching someone else, our bioelectric fields interact.

Psycho-neuro-immunology (PNI): This provides powerful evidence for the body as an' informational living matrix.'
With brain and body in ceaseless peptide hormone feedback. Chopra (1989) in his book Quantum Healing, explores cells as centres of intelligence - a property of mind, showing how mind is not just a brain generated function but is body wide. Pert (1997) in her book Molecules of Emotion, explores the dynamic interaction between bodymind and brainmind.

Brain/Mind: Neurophysiology is an explanatory system exploring the workings of the nervous system in terms of cellular physiology and biophysics.  Psychology is an explanatory system concerned with the existence and workings of the mind. Neuropsychology links brain and mind function and activity, offering little explanation as to how they interact, only that they do.

Materialism/Vitalism:
Materialists believe that mental function is brain function and the mind exists only within the confines of the skull, giving little explanation as to how we feel emotions.
Vitalists believe the world of mind inhabits another dimension of the universe and exists quite independently from matter. It is not confined within the skull, has different properties and lives by different rules.

Parapsychology: From the vitalist explanation, these non physically constrained aspects of mental functioning are grouped under the heading of parapsychology. The psi faculty is not dependent on the normal sensory systems for interaction with other living systems

Healing & Healers: A major and controversial branch of energy medicine. An energy transaction between two living systems, often termed healer and healee/recipient.
