The human body is our vehicle for living out our purpose in this world, but like any vehicle, it needs to be powered to do its work. A conventional scientific view focuses on the body’s use of oxygen and nutrients to produce cellular energy, known as ATP. But the bioenergetic view expands beyond this, considering other ways in which the body produces energy.
Given that most diseases involve low energy, which in turn robs us of our ability to live our dreams, it’s essential that we expand our understanding of where energy really comes from and how it is used. This is the purview of bioenergetics, and it must become the foundation of health and medicine in the future.
So here, we’ll briefly review the roles of ATP and oxygen, but more importantly, we’ll expand into the roles of both water and the cavities or spaces within the body, shedding light onto why the proper shape of a cell and the quality of its membrane are so vital.
Finally, we’ll go beyond energy production and discuss energy use, for without efficiency, we can produce a great deal of energy and still end up exhausted.
ATP and Cellular Energy
The body uses carbohydrates, fats, and proteins as fuel sources to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which serves as the cellular currency for energy. It is produced by the mitochondria, the powerhouses of the cell. The mitochondria regulate metabolic activities, promote growth and multiplication of new cells, help detoxify ammonia in liver cells, and play a pivotal role in programmed cell death, or apoptosis.
Bioenergetics theory recognizes the importance of this chemical energy process. But like every other chemical process, ATP production is driven by the activity of the human body-field. Research has shown, for instance, that supporting the cell driver field enhances mitochondrial proliferation, which can allow more ATP to be produced.
The Role of Oxygen in Energy
Oxygen plays a crucial role in ATP production. Oxygen is required for the process of cellular respiration, where it acts as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain (ETC), a series of reactions that ultimately leads to the formation of ATP. So without sufficient oxygen, our cells would be unable to efficiently produce ATP, leading to a deficit in energy supply.
In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), oxygen is considered a vital part of “chi,” or life force. In fact, the literal translation of chi is “vapor,” “breath,” or “air,” and some believe chi is nothing more than the power of oxygen to charge us up.
The traditional TCM view, however, is that chi circulates throughout the body via energy channels known as meridians. In an effort to validate this idea, researchers have looked for physical structures to explain the meridians, and some believe they have found them in what they call the primo vascular system.
That said, bioenergetics views the meridians a little differently. While they may represent a flow of energy itself, they are also communication pathways, helping to determine the overall efficiency by which the body uses its energy. And they needn’t have physical structures to do so, as space resonance – described in other articles – allow for wireless communication in the body, much as frequencies provide us with forms of wireless communication (radio, phones, WiFi, etc.) in our daily lives.
The Role of Structured Water as a Body Battery
Nutrients, oxygen, and ATP are the key players in the usual energy discussions. But bioenergetics looks beyond this to at least two other key players. The first of these is water.
While water makes up the majority of our bodies and our planet, a great deal is still unknown about it, implying that a great deal is unknown about how our bodies work. Strides are being made by researchers, however, who are applying their knowledge across a range of topics, including biology.
Two titles worth exploring on this topic are The Emerging Science of Water (Voeikov and Korotkov) and The 4th Phase of Water (Dr. Gerald Pollock).
Among the most important findings is the way that water forms into structured layers along water-loving surfaces, which includes cell surfaces and other surfaces of the body (including the blood vessels). This process presents a number of possible answers about water, but it also does something special: these layers tend to build up a negative charge while the unstructured water beyond the layers builds up a positive charge.
This allows for a battery effect to take place throughout the body, expanding the topic of how the human body is powered. And if Dr. Pollock’s research proves true, exposure to light (especially sunshine) expands these layers, creating an even stronger battery effect. Which may well explain why we can feel so energized after getting out in the sun.
The Role of Body Cavities and Energy
The body’s cavities or spaces are the other key player in energy. There are major cavities, such as the spaces of the abdomen, chest, and head; but also smaller ones, from the organs, parts of organs (like the chambers of the heart), cells, and cellular organelles.
The possibility here is that spaces can act as resonance chambers, which is the basis not only of communication at a distance, but also energy transfer, as scientists have discovered in groundbreaking research.
One could speak of this as the ability of the body to tap into the “zero point energy” field; historically, this has been considered a taboo idea, appearing to violate the laws of physics. But in fact, evidence is showing what bioenergetics has claimed for years, and that resonance provides for the transport of energy and information.
Because of this important role, the shape of cavities seems especially important. Just as a gymnasium and a concert hall have very different qualities in the way you’re able to hear music in them, the shape of a cavity will determine its resonance and therefore its ability to engage in the wireless world of bioenergetics.
Efficient Use of Energy
We know that having a lot of gasoline to power a vehicle isn’t all that’s involved with how far you can drive it. The efficiency of the vehicle (miles per gallon / kilometers per liter) is another important factor.
In a similar way, even if we’re well powered by ATP, water, cavities, and more, this only carries us so far. We have to make good use of that energy. We speak more about this elsewhere, but there are control systems that use our energy. Their ability to carry and deliver accurate information without disruption determines the type of body we can really build with the energy we have available.
Conclusion
Energy production and use are key to the philosophy and healing work of bioenergetics. The body has a number of ways for generating energy; and while we do recognize the familiar form of energy seen in ATP, bioenergetics looks beyond that to the roles of structured water and even the spaces inside our bodies. As we look to more profound and longer lasting methods of healing, we need to work with all the ways the body produces energy … and the ways in which this energy is used. In doing so, we support more people in living up to their dreams and goals for life.
