The students will develop an understanding of the physical basis for the “aura,” the “chakras,” and the acupuncture system in terms of their behavior as physical fields. This new understanding will likely lead to many new ideas for future research and practical application, which can help test this model and will be of value to the students of this new science, healing practitioners as well as to professionals in conventional academic discipline. The overall goal of this course is to build a bridge between the traditional esoteric or clairvoyant understanding of energy healing and a new description based on scientific principles, using the latest discoveries from many fields of science. It now appears that such a comprehensive understanding of living systems is possible, and this course describes the various elements that make it up. This course is self-directed and facilitated by Dr. Claude Swanson. A minimum of four (4) students is required for the course to run.
