Eric Bosshard had himself dowsed the system in many countries and had been one of the group at Glastonbury. These 'patways of consciousness' as we now understand them, function in terms of form and number. They can be checked by dowsing the number of parallels in a 'line' and the geometrical form that occurs when a node point is reached and the energy goes into function. Those involved over the years began to realise that the system is in fact linked to the collective consciousness of humanity. In the light of recent discoveries in quantum physics, we could ammend that to the 'collective consciousness of the cosmos'.
Physics call it the quantum field.
The pathways may be thought of as 'meridians' and the node points as 'acupuncture points'. This is in fact the healing mode All manner of relevant side-tracks had appeared over the years. Tesla worked on the frequencies, proving that the frequency of the human brain in a relaxed and meditative state relates closely to that of the physical earth at around 8 Hertz. Schumann's theory of the resonance cavity also links to the frequency of the Earth's surface and the ionosphere. The fact that the healer in action forms an etheric field with the person receiving the healing is not surprising, taking into account their research and today's quantum physics.
