There are moments in life when your body speaks before your mind does.
You walk into a room and feel the atmosphere snap.
You stand next to someone and your chest tightens, or softens, long before you have words for why.
You think about a person you haven’t seen in months and, inexplicably, your stomach drops or your breath opens.
You grieve, and the grief doesn’t just live in your thoughts… it takes residence in your fascia, your posture, your sleep.
Most people call this intuition, or energy, or psychosomatic noise.
But there is a deeper truth here, and science is slowly stumbling toward it:
These phenomena aren’t imagination.
They’re the signature of a field.
A field that runs through you, surrounds you, organizes you, and reveals things long before your brain catches up.
A field your ancestors mapped in myths and meditations… and modern science is finally learning how to measure.
A field you’ve been feeling your whole life.
The biofield.
The Big Idea
Your body is not just biochemical machinery… it’s an information field.
You’re emitting and receiving energy every moment, and that field shapes your physiology, your emotions, your intuition, and the person you ultimately become.
This is where biology, psychology, and consciousness collide.
The Breakdown
The scientific literature defines the biofield as a subtle electromagnetic field that permeates and surrounds living organisms (Rubik et al., 2015). But a clinical definition barely scratches the surface of what this really points to.
The more accurate way to understand the biofield is as an organizing intelligence… the invisible architecture directing the flow of biological information moment to moment.
It shows up first in the electromagnetic fields we already measure every day. Your brain emits waves we can capture through EEG. Your heart creates a measurable field detectable several feet away via magnetocardiography. These aren’t mystical ideas, they’re medical diagnostics (Rubik et al., 2015).
Look deeper and you find the body emitting light… ultraweak photons known as biophotons. These tiny flashes appear to support cell-to-cell communication and may be one of the physical signatures of the biofield in action (Cifra & Pospíšil, 2014). It’s subtle, but the body is effectively glowing with information.
Even therapeutic practices like Reiki and Healing Touch… often dismissed as “placebo”… show consistent improvements in pain reduction and quality of life in clinical settings, even when touch isn’t involved (Jain et al., 2015). There’s a signal here, even if researchers are still arguing about the mechanism.
Quantum Metabolism
Quantum biology gives the idea even more teeth. We now know that biological systems use quantum rules in ways classical physics can’t explain…tunneling in enzyme reactions, coherence in photosynthesis, entanglement-like effects in avian navigation, and possibly even in mitochondrial electron flow (Lambert et al., 2013).
If life already depends on quantum-level behavior, then the idea of a coherent human field becomes less mystical and more inevitable.
This is where quantum metabolism enters the conversation. Dr. Brian Fertig’s work (2024) reframes cellular energy production as a quantum process. Mitochondria appear to rely on tunneling and coherence to maintain extraordinary efficiency.
Energy production oscillates and adapts far more dynamically than any classical model predicts. This opens the door to understanding the body not as a collection of parts but as an energetic system, where information and vibration shape biology as much as chemistry.
The Fascia Is An Energetic Web?
And if the biofield is the energetic web, fascia is the physical infrastructure.
Modern fascia research shows that this connective tissue isn’t just wrapping paper — it’s a continuous, semi-crystalline network capable of transmitting force, vibration, and possibly even light across the entire body with astonishing speed (Langevin, 2021).
Fibroblasts, telocytes, and other fascial cells exhibit long-range communication and sensitivity to subtle cues. There’s a reason trauma is felt in the body long after the event ends… fascia remembers.
Biological Water
Structured water adds another layer. Pollack’s work on the fourth phase of water (2013) revealed that water near biological surfaces becomes structured, charged, coherent, and capable of storing information.
Emoto’s controversial findings and the more recent double-blind work by Feng et al. (2023) suggest that water… the substance that composes most of our cells… might be sensitive to emotional or informational input. If that’s true, then water inside the body could act as a memory substrate, amplifying the biofield’s effects.
Chakras Are Real
Even the ancient systems begin to make more sense through this lens. Research from Rowald and colleagues (2022) has found biofrequency bands that align strikingly with traditional chakra regions.
Biophoton pathways appear to correspond with acupuncture meridians. What was once dismissed as mythology begins to look like early phenomenological mapping of the human energy field.
And then there is consciousness.
The Brain is a Receiver of Consciousness?
Field theories propose that consciousness may not be confined to the brain at all, but might exist as a non-local phenomenon that interfaces with the biofield. Hameroff and Penrose’s Orch-OR model (2014) argues that quantum processes inside neuronal microtubules could contribute to conscious experience.
If consciousness is a field and the biofield is the body’s electromagnetic-information field, then your “intuition” may not be irrational at all… it may be a genuine exchange of information between consciousness and biology.
All of this challenges the old materialist worldview. The biofield suggests that information may be as fundamental as matter, that consciousness may extend beyond neural tissue, and that mind and body are not separate domains but two expressions of the same underlying field.
Rubik called it a “holistic organizing principle” (2015).
It’s the bridge between matter and meaning… the physics behind subjectivity.
Practical Takeaway
The most important thing about the biofield isn’t the science — it’s the lived reality.
Your field shifts before your symptoms shift.
Before your emotions shift.
Before your decisions shift.
Before your life shifts.
When you feel “off” but can’t explain why… that’s your biofield misaligning before your biology manifests it.
When you have a sudden moment of clarity… that’s coherence before cognition.
When you sense a relationship is wrong for you… that’s your field rejecting what your mind hasn’t admitted yet.
And when you finally realign — through breathwork, DEEP processing, fascia work, or coherent emotional states — your field changes first, your physiology follows, and your choices shift almost automatically.
You’re not imagining it.
You’re perceiving the first layer of human change.
Closing Thought
Every wisdom tradition has told us there is a light within.
A knowing.
A signal.
A spark that precedes thought.
Modern science is inching toward the same realization:
You are not just a body.
You are a pattern.
A field of energy, information, memory, and consciousness interacting with the world in ways far deeper than biology alone can explain.
The real question is not whether the biofield exists…
It’s whether you’re living in alignment with it.

Hi, Dr. Jade
This is the most common mistake made by all doctors, Scientifics, and theorist. They don't know what the mind is.
The mind directs our body, respiration, heart functioning, etc. This is our subjective part, you usually use only the objective part, the part that we call the intellect. Our brain does not creates anything, the brain is the analysis tool, which receives all the information from our external senses and usually ignores our internal senses, like the intuition.
The mind is what we call the spirit, or soul, I called it our Essence, because our Essence is directing hundreds and even thousands of bodies. These are our focuses, that are living now, in their time, which is our past or our future. That is why we experience Dejá Vu and other phenomenon that we don't understand yet.
I hope this will clear any doubt you may have.
Best regards
JTG
love this rich article, food for thought and....feel. Your statement;" It’s whether you’re living in alignment with your biofield" makes so much sense and explains what I have been grapling with lately. thank you Jade 🙏
