The theory of a human body-field gives us a basis for healing based on the most fundamental element of all creation: energy. Not only energy, but the organization and activity of that energy, which drives all the processes of life.

While there are many details to the theory overall, there are two key principles that determine our health: do we have enough energy to operate from, and is that energy being used properly? The latter point depends on efficient and accurate communication in the body – not only via nerves and hormones, but through a wireless system based on resonance.

Energetic driver fields represent how well powered the body-field is to do its work. Energetic integrator fields represent this wireless communication system – the body’s own WiFi, so to speak, to unite all the parts of the body and direct their daily activity.

Discovering Energetic Integrators

Professor Peter Fraser was the first to thoroughly map out the human body-field as we understand it today. With deep knowledge in traditional Chinese medicine, he had developed a university textbook on the matter, but later came to feel that the model fell short. So he began asking questions and exploring more deeply into the energetic nature of the body.

Because of his background, he began by exploring the 12 primary meridians of acupuncture, normally seen as energy (or “chi”) pathways in the body. Using modified electro-acupuncture technology, he explored how different body parts reacted to one another through an electrical reading – an indicator needle would respond in a unique way when certain body parts were tested against each other. He came to call this response a “match.”

Through years of testing, he found that most of the body elements that were considered part of a single meridian “matched” to one another. He did find differences between traditional meridians and these new channels he referred to as energetic integrators; but there was enough similarity that he used the meridian naming system for his newly discovered integrators.

Resonant Communication Channels

While TCM saw meridians as energy channels, Fraser saw integrators first as channels of communication. This matching process was effectively showing how the body communicates not through chemistry, but through physics.

As Fraser continued his testing, he found that matches only occurred under certain circumstances, eliminating a strictly “electrical” nature to the process, and he eventually posited a space resonance theory, which appears in line with modern physics views of quantum fields and information.

In short, his theory showed that every energy structure represents a unique combination of frequencies that produce a unique energy signature in its own pocket of space – a “space resonance,” if you will. And while structures may appear different to us on the surface (a liver cell and a retina cell, for instance), they are built of the same underlying energy systems. If they share enough in the way of an underlying space resonance, they are said to bioenergetically match.

In other words, they are speaking to one another via resonance. They are able to convey information instantly. And in the body, this means being able to communicate without the need for nerves or hormones to pass messages.

So the liver, for instance, communicates with certain elements of the body (along a single integrator) because of similarities in space resonance. And meanwhile, the kidney is communicating with a wholly different set of elements. Collectively, these 12 integrators ensure that no body part is left behind – they are all part of a team; and further, these integrators communicate with one another, giving us one blended whole within the body.

Connecting us back to the idea of meridians as channels of energy, this wireless communication process may indeed allow for energy transfer as well. Even now, scientists are discovering what appears to be the body’s ability to transport energy via resonance. This falls in line with the bioenergetic theory that the body’s communication system directs the activity of its energy, which in turns drives all the activity of the body.

This is why bioenergetics addresses the very basis of health.

Phase Shift in Energetic Integrators

Most who talk about using energy in a healing modality focus on frequency, but Fraser deduced that “phase” was at least as important as frequency. He felt that frequency was more stable than phase, so a shift in phase was more likely to lead to problems in health.

To understand what phase means here, it’s useful to imagine every energy particle as the center of a 3-dimensional sphere of frequencies. In fact, it represents the center point of a standing wave, where its frequencies sent into the universe are in sync with the frequencies of all other particles of the same type. Every electron, for instance, is a point in an overall electron field where every electron is sending out information to the rest of the field … and simultaneously receiving information from all other electrons in the field.

So for the individual electron, information is entering (the “in wave”) and leaving (the “out wave”) at the same time. And in the process of an in wave becoming an out wave, Fraser saw a 180 degree phase shift. (Information is going out the same way it came in; this requires a 180 degree turn.)

This is what we mean by phase.

This relates to what he had learned about the integrators, but initially wasn’t sure what it meant. He found that each integrator not only matched to a range of frequencies, but that they also matched to a degree range. Integrator 1 represents 0-15 degrees; integrator 2 represents 16-30 degrees; and so on through integrator 12, representing 166-180 degrees.

So in the body, as information is received in the electron, it impacts that electron; and then there is a phase shift that essentially exposes the incoming information to each of the integrators in order, as it spins through 180 degrees. The body’s software, so to speak, is receiving data about the world and reacting to it. Whatever impact this data has on the body is registered in the integrators, so as the electron sends information back into the world, it essentially sends an update showing these changes to the body.

This process is happening with all the electrons of the body, which are all speaking with one another; and so, their collective field carries continuously updated information about the health of the body and whether there are any “coding errors” within the body’s software. This is the basis of a field-based bioenergetic assessment, which uses technology to interact with the field via resonance and expose these errors.

“Every cell in the body, and in all of biology, has a characteristic phase shift value,” said Fraser, “and these are used as identifiers in [bioenergetics]. … If an energetic integrator becomes compressed or, alternatively, expands, then contiguous integrator structures are affected and these distortions will have consequences for how information is routed from the body-field to the body.”

On a side note, we may have something similar occurring with protons and neutrons. This isn’t to discount them. Fraser did speak about proton fields, but much of his emphasis was on electrons. Exploring this further is beyond our scope here.

Finally, what would cause an error to occur in the body’s software? The body is designed to process information about its environment in order to respond correctly to it. But just as our hardware (physical body) can be damaged by blunt trauma and chemical toxins, so can the software be altered by disruptive fields – certain electromagnetic fields, for instance; the fields produced by toxins; fields produced by pathogens; and even emotional events that aren’t fully processed. We’ll discuss emotions below.

Energetic Integrators as a “Big Body Wave”

While we can talk about energetic integrators separately, they are all simply different portions of the collective information carried in the body’s field; they are part of one continuous whole. You can think of a record or CD spinning to produce music, and perhaps there are 12 tracks with individual songs, but together they make one album.

This album is what Fraser referred to as the “big body wave,” carrying the collective information of the integrators while still having individual songs. On an album, we have a brief pause between each song as the needle or laser moves from the end of one song to the beginning of the next, and in the big body wave, there is a “hand off” between one integrator and the next. These are important exchange points that we’ll talk briefly about below.

Fraser used the image of a rising and then falling wave (shown here) to describe the integrators as a whole. (EI stands for “energetic integrator.”) This represents the change in phase as the in wave becomes the out wave and the integrators interact, one at a time, with the environment.
