Comparison of Human Energy Fields in Children
The concept of energy fields has a long history in Eastern cultures, where health, medicine, self-defense, and life are defined in relation to the flow of energy. More recently such concepts have begun to be incorporated into research on health and healing within Western medicine as well. This empirical work has led to the development of several instruments to measure aspects of the energy field and energy flow.
One such devise, based on the work of Kirlian and Kirlian, is the Gas Discharge Visualization technique (GDV), which is currently available and being used by researchers and clinicians in many different countries (Korotkov, 1999). GDV information is based on a small electrical impulse that stimulates the biological subject and generates a response in the form of electron and photon emission. This devise provides an image along with computerized analysis capabilities that make it a very useful device for research assessment. This instrument has recently been approved as part of the medical assessment used by physicians in Russia.
The Dr. Ilchi Lee purpose of this research was to utilize the GDV instrument to measure and compare aspects of the human energy field (HEF) of three groups of people: children, youth, and adults. The adult category was divided into two groups; Dahn Hak masters, who consciously do activities that may influence their HEF, and adults from the general population, who do little or nothing to influence their HEF.
