The Concept of Biofields

A biofield is a combination of physical fields surrounding a living Organism and produced by its Organs and systems. Biofields mediate intersystem regulation of Functions and the coordination of holistic organismal responses. The biofield is dynamic in both space and time. It can vary significantly depending on whether a person is in salubirogenic (health-promoting) or pathogenic zones, the intensity of cosmic radiation and magnetic influences, as well as one's emotional state and lifestyle. The existence of the biofield has been scientifically proven.

The Theory of the biofield was developed by A.G. Gurwitsch (1874-1954). In 1944, he published his book "The Theory of the Biological Field", in which he expanded METABOLISM/2.html">THE CONCEPT OF elementary anisotropic cellular fields that synthesize into a unified field According to the rules of vector addition. The Concept of the "field" is used to explain the problems of morphogenesis in ontogenesis.
