The Body Antenna - Impedance

Chapter 1 of The Sage Age - Blending Science with Intuitive Wisdom covers aspects of the human body as a sophisticated, multi-faceted antenna system. To encourage discussion, the entire chapter has been divided into topic sections and presented as excerpts for download.

What impedes your flow of healthy vibes? Do outside forces induce a disruption in your flow? What happens to the flow when you resist? How can you increase your capacity for flow?

The three components that impede flow in an antenna system are resistance, capacitance, and inductance. Your body is a sophisticated, multi-faceted antenna system and to operate at peak performance, you need to bring it into balance.

This includes finding points of resistance to flow and increasing capacity. It also means identifying outside influences that induce a disruption of flow.

In this excerpt, we’ll use the analogy of water flowing through a hose. We’ll show how resistance can slow down the flow through the rest of the hose. We’ll also cover how a person’s capacity for flow affects the way their antenna works. And, finally, we’ll show how outside forces act like an elephant stomping on the hose that induces a disruption in the flow and can eventually damage the hose.

The Body Antenna – Meditation and MRIs

Chapter 1 of The Sage Age - Blending Science with Intuitive Wisdom covers aspects of the human body as a sophisticated, multi-faceted antenna system. To encourage discussion, the entire chapter has been divided into topic sections and presented as excerpts for download.

The broadcast area immediately around an antenna is very different from the areas further away from the antenna. The first is called the near-field pattern and the latter is called the far-field pattern.

MRIs (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) devices make use of the body’s near-field pattern. Ongoing investigation of this pattern is helping researchers build even better imaging devices because they are learning how to use the body as an antenna. This will lead to a deeper understanding of vibrational medicine.

The area around an antenna is a very complex field comprised of many components. One critical aspect that affects this field is the richness of the soil around the antenna. This is also true for folks who do Tai Chi exercises outside in a park setting. The better the soil, the better the body’s antenna system transceives.

Read the short excerpt to learn more about the near-field around an antenna and why making a starburst pattern on the ground helps it transceive.

The Body Antenna – Multi Antenna Arrays

Chapter 1 of The Sage Age - Blending Science with Intuitive Wisdom covers aspects of the human body as a sophisticated, multi-faceted antenna system. To encourage discussion, the entire chapter has been divided into topic sections and presented as excerpts for download.

When groups of folks come together in the same location and meditate while holding or moving through the same body postures, they work together like a multi-antenna array that focuses a signal and strengthens it.

One prime example of how this works is the Very Large Array (VLA) antenna dishes in New Mexico, which is used as an astronomical observatory by receiving weak radio signals from space. The 27 antennas can be arranged in such a way so that they act as one gigantic receiving dish antenna.

The Body Antenna – How Light Radiates

Chapter 1 of The Sage Age - Blending Science with Intuitive Wisdom covers aspects of the human body as a sophisticated, multi-faceted antenna system. To encourage discussion, the entire chapter has been divided into topic sections and presented as excerpts for download.

In the previous excerpt, we discovered how ritual body postures help tune the body’s antenna. In this second excerpt, we’ll see how light energy radiates.

By nature, charges seek equilibrium or balance. This is how energy is radiated from the body, an antenna, or a battery. An imbalance is necessary to cause electrons to move and, when they do, current is generated that creates a magnetic field in the surrounding area.

The analogy most often used to exemplify the flow of electricity along a wire is that of water flowing through a hose. But it is important to understand that electrical current in a wire is a special case of the overall propagation characteristics of how electromagnetic (EM) energy radiates. In free space, EM energy radiates as an unbounded wave.

Wave motion is the transport of energy without the transport of matter.

The Body Antenna - Ritual Body Postures

Chapter 1 of The Sage Age - Blending Science with Intuitive Wisdom covers aspects of the human body as a sophisticated, multi-faceted antenna system. To encourage discussion, the entire chapter has been divided into topic sections and presented as excerpts for download.

This is the first excerpt in the Body Antenna series and covers the effects of ritual body postures. The dimensions and posturing of the physical body allow it to work like a broadcast antenna that both transmits and receives, or transceives, multiple frequencies. Beginning in the 1960s, anthropologist Dr. Felicitas Goodman investigated the effects of ritual body postures among many cultures and traditions. She documented at least seventy that produced either subtle effects or full blown altered states of consciousness. Her work is carried on by the Cuyamungue Institute.

Ritual body postures come in two basic flavors, which are those that are held for a length of time, as in Yoga, and those that are fluid movements and held momentarily, as in Tai Chi. These postures allow the body to become two different types of antenna systems. Yoga postures are akin to a static antenna of fixed length that is tuned to transceive a specific frequency and its associated harmonics. They work like the rabbit ears on a television set. Tai Chi postures are akin to a radio scanner that transceives a variety of signals in serial fashion, meaning one after the other.

Download the full excerpt to discover how these two types of postures, combined with meditation, tune the body’s antenna system and increase the bandwidth of frequencies it can transceive.

The Quantum Science of Chi

My friend, Kim Gould of Love Your Design, posted a video on her blog of a Professor of Theoretical Physics who began using Tai Chi to improve his health. He is now dedicated to defining aspects of Chi so the rigors of scientific exploration can be applied to its study and how it plays a role in distance healing. This is not to say that Chi can fully be described and understood by science, only that it can be partially defined in a way that allows quantifiable data to be collected about it. This is akin to the relationship science has with electricity. We can say with great precision what electricity does. We can generate it at will and control how it operates. But, to date, no one can say exactly what electricity is. We still only have working theories to describe it but that does not keep us from working with it in useful ways.

Resolved to Practice Meditation or Yoga This New Year?

Practices such as meditation, yoga, and Tai Chi require that we place the body in certain ritualistic postures. Did you know that the body is a multi-faceted antenna system and positioning it in different postures helps attune that antenna from the bones all the way down to the cells? The way you position the body is critically important to the types of informed energies that it can both transmit and receive.
