bioenergetic
states
and
changes
In
living
organisms
[5,6].
Kirlian photographs
of hands and feet
of Anastenarides
(total
11 subjects) were taken during preparation,
fire
dancing
and
everyday
life
(after
months)
on
Kodak
Ektachrome T slides
10x12 cm and
13x18 cm.
The images were
compared
with
those
of
special
states,
such
as
hypnosis,
yogic meditation and autogenic
training
(AT),
before and
uring these
states.
In all the above conditions,
including
fire dancing, an increase of the corona discharge can be
observed,
compared
to
the corresponding
rest
conditions,
as
is
to be expected
if
the assumption that they all
imply an
increase
of
the
bioenergy
field
is
correct.
In
the
high-
frequency images of
the hands during fire dancing a
pattern
siraiiar
to
those
of intense emotional arousal
is seen,
different
from
the
color
and
pattern
of
relaxation
states
(hypnosis, yoga,
AT).
The Kirlian photos of
the
feet show a
remarkable
increase
of
the
length
and
density
of
the
'
streamers
and sparks
of different
colors.
This
is
not
dependent on
the mechanical act
of
dancing,
since
the
same
image was given while at rest.

would
like
t0
express
the hypothesis
that
in
firewalking not
only
there
is
an
increase
of
bio-
energy as
in other
special
states,
but
that a kind of bio-
energetic protective shield
is
formed.
Victor
Inyushin and
Alexander
Roraen
postulate
that,
in
special
extreme
condi-
tions,
man can display exceptional capacities
by increasing
(voluntarily
or
not)
his
amount
of
"biological
plasma,"
as
can be seen in a high-frequency field
[7,8].
In
the case
of
-
ire
dancers,
the
"bioplasma"
protects
from bums
because
the charged particles
or free electrons
that form
it produce
a state of superconductivity of
the skin
[9,10].
What
is
remarkable
is
the
fact
that
the
soles
of
Anastenarides during fire dancing are paradoxically cool and
dry.
It
Is also well known that
they never go
into
the fire
unless
they feel
ready.
Some
refer
to
this
feeling
of
readiness as "the
call" from
the
saint,
others
as a
special
ee ing
like being pushed,
i.e.,
from the nearby wall or
the
floor.
Could
it
be
that
subliminal
information
about
the
completion of a protective energetic shield reaches the
consciousness?
This
study
is
far
from complete.
