His somatid theory states that cell division cannot take place without the presence of this tiny life force or energy particle that he calls the somatid . The information from these observations combined with body psychotherapeutic methods eventually developed into Bio-Energetics. Dr. Pierrakas work suggests that the light emissions from the human body are closely related to health. There is a need to quantify these light emissions with reliable, standardized light measuring instruments to make this available to the medical profession for clinical diagnosis and treatment. They measured the light level of a wave length of around 350 nanometers in a darkroom before, during, and after there were people in that room.
Results show a slight increase of light when people are in it.
When someone feeling exhausted and full of despair was in the room, the light value actually fell. With a colorizer they were able to show part of the auric field, or the HEF, on black and white television. Hiroshi Motoyama - has measured low light levels coming from people who have practiced yoga for many years. He did this with a movie camera in a darkroom. Also, he studied the strength of a sender's and a receiver's energy meridians before and after treatment.
