Subtle Energy Research at the California Institute for Human Science
Sometime in the year of 2013 I worked for a company called Psy-Tek Subtle Energy Laboratory in Encinitas, California that happened to be on the same campus of the California Institute for Human Science (CIHS). I was hired by Psy-Tek because I was a Certified Clinical Thermographer, and Certified Clinical Thermography Trainer, which I had been for years at the time working all over the United States offering safe health scans for women who preferred scans without the harmful affects of radiation.
While at Psy-Tek I became trained to research subtle energy using a variety of different subtle energy measuring devices from all over the world. We tested different products, services, modalities and even people - and their effects on their subjects. Different energy healers like Reiki practitioners, Pranic Healers, Theta healers and Biofield tuners would come in and want to know how effective their technique was. Sometimes we tested products like energy patches or Pulsed Electromagnetic Frequency (PEMF) mats or other various things that had been ‘energetically-altered’ to give the wearer a boost in health so that they would feel more vibrant and lively. Sometimes people would just be curious if a new diet or supplement was working and ask us to do a case study for them. Chiropractors, Acupuncturists and other holistically-minded people would have their patients come in to do a ‘before’ and ‘after’ scan to see the reduction of inflammation or the alignment of chakras.
We used Thermography to assess inflammation; Thermography is really just medical-grade night vision and was given from the military to the medical field because they realized the medical capabilities to assess a person’s inflammation as it relates to their body. We know that inflammation is the beginning of any degenerative disease so this scan has huge indications as far as catching disease early. We used this scan for baseline ‘before’ images to assess if a specific product or modality was able to reduce inflammation.
We used a Russian device called the Gas Discharge Visualization (GDV) and its successor called the Biowell and its attachment called the Sputnik. The GDV used Russian Technology called Kirlian Photography along with the Korean Su Jok Hand Acupuncture system. When these two technologies were united they were capable of measuring the health rays emitting from the fingertips, and then interpreting the health rays through the map provided through the Su Jok Hand Acupuncture system. The Sputnik is an attachment to the GDV and is able to map coherence in the environment and therefore assess if coherence is going up or down.

At CIHS they had a Faraday Cage and Biophoton Counter - the Faraday Cafe is a copper shielded room to protect from all microwaves in our environment (think: WiFi). We tested the efficacy of remote healing sessions whereas the practitioner would be in the Faraday Cage sending energy out to clients, and vice versa. The Faraday Cage combined with the Biophoton Counter was how we were able to measure and ‘count’ the number of Biophotons (light emitted by a biological organism) emitted by the practitioner or by the client. What I found most interesting about the Faraday Cage is when I went in it I felt like I was going to pass out (I was around 25 years old at the time) - but when older people (50+) went in it they felt a deep sense of calm. I note our ages because this finding feels important - older people had not grown up with the microwaves that surround us daily, and younger people have - to me it was almost as if the microwaves we are surrounded by are a part of us, so taking them away stripped me of something my body was used to receiving.
When I started my Masters degree in Consciousness at CIHS I started using the Infiniti Biofeedback Software to run experiments for my Master’s Program and did research on the healing modality called KALOS developed by Dr. Valerie Gersch. Kalos blends Chinese medicine, energy healing and applied kinesiology to find and address the root cause of imbalance or illness in the body.

Lastly at CIHS we used a device called the Apparatus for Meridian Identification (AMI) which was able to measure the efficacy and efficiency of energy healing on the body in real-time by assessing how the treatment was affecting the meridians.
Working as a Subtle Energy Researcher at Psy-Tek and CIHS was groundbreaking, heart opening and mind expanding. I was able to research many different modalities such as Reiki, Theta healers, Pranic Healers and Biofield Tuners. I was able to work alongside people curious about their health and wanting to measure the effects of their own personal research / treatments and changes in lifestyle. I helped people learn more about the inflammation in their body. I watched how some modalities were more effective than others and watched these results in real-time.
My background is in the medical field and then because of a sickness caused by the allopathic medical model I switched early on to the alternative / holistic side of medicine. My understanding of anatomy and physiology, combined with my knowledge of ancient traditions like TCM and Ayurveda, with the addition of my subtle energy research background make me extremely well-rounded as a healer which is why many people use my services and keep coming back!

Anechoic Chamber Experiments at Hathaway Research Laboratory
Eileen McKusick, myself & another colleague traveled to Hathaway Labs located in Toronto, Canada in May of 2019 in order to conduct some research in an anechoic chamber. An Anechoic chamber, simply put, means "anti-echo" or a room designed to completely absorb reflections of sound or electromagnetic waves. This room designed by George Hathaway was designed to also not allow EM (electromagnetic) waves from entering the chamber from the outside. The chamber is also grounded; meaning any excess electricity is safely directed to the ground outside.
We had planned to meet up with a Toronto-based recording studio but they no-called no-showed, so we made due with a zoom recorder, oscilliscope, spectral analyzer and good old-fashioned note taking. Despite the recording studio not showing up we were still able to make some incredible observations with the help of George Hathaway and his quick inventions he was able to create to support us in our research & observations (i.e. the boom).
We were observing what we noticed as the 1. Tuning Practitioner 2. the session Receiver and 3. the Witness. We had a copper grounding wire that we took turns grounding ourselves to see what we noticed. We also tried putting the tuning fork in a boom and moving the boom around (like an arm) to see the effect of human vs machine as Tuning fork operator.
The following observations were noticed:
- We loved the opportunity to freely create experiments in an anechoic chamber that was able to completely isolate the sounds from the tuning forks
- Grounding (at least) one of us during the session was necessary: the tone brightened immediatley with one of us being grounded. With no one being grounded we all felt clausterphobic and had difficulty breathing.
- The session went without issue when the Tuning Practitioner (TP) or Receiver (R) was grounded. This makes obvious sense to us and is why breathing and grounding is paramount in the beginning of one's session. Having only the Witness grounded still created feelings of unease in the TP & R.
- None of us felt well when the fork was in the boom; we experienced difficulty breathing, and felt dissassociated. However, the moment one of us touched the boom to complete the circuit we all noticed a huge improvement in our feelings sense.
- We noticed that when the fork was in the boom we were able to hear the fundamental tone but not many high/low tones. When it was in our hand we were able to differentiate the variation between the high/mid/ and low tones. This variation is important as the difference in tones allows us to discover patterns and "hear" emotions.
Next steps:
- We'd like to conduct further research in an Anechoic Chamber
- We want to do a Spectrograph analysis in real time
- We want our recording studio people to show up in order professionally record the sound :p
