In bioenergetics, we explore human health at its most fundamental levels based on physics. In simple terms, this means looking at how the body produces energy and how it uses that energy. Part of its use involves the important mind-body connection, which we explore elsewhere. But here, we’ll take a brief look at how energy is used to build and maintain a body through its control systems.

Conventional Control Systems

In a conventional sense, we could speak about three primary control systems in the body:

1. The nervous system might be thought of as the body’s primary control system, as it receives information from the environment and translates this into thoughts and actions. It regulates these actions by sending nerve impulses through the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and peripheral nervous system (all other nerves).
   
   This process involves both electrical and chemical elements. An electrical signal is carried along a single nerve before chemical neurotransmitters spill from one neuron to the next, triggering the next to carry the electrical signal. We should also point out that the chemical endocannabinoid system plays a regulatory effect on this process.
   

2. The endocrine system involves chemical messengers called hormones, released by various glands into the bloodstream to direct activities involving such things as metabolism, growth and development, reproduction, mood, and more.
   

3. The immune system oversees our response to pathogens, such as viruses and bacteria. It is a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs that works to identify and correctly respond to foreign substances.

Now this isn’t comprehensive. It depends on how one wants to look at the body. For instance, the DNA – present in all of these systems and more – determines the proteins that are built and do the work inside our bodies.

Of all these, the most obviously “bioenergetic” in nature is the nervous system because of its electrical component. In bioenergetics, we interact directly with the nervous system via the skin by using bio-responsive microcurrent and other advanced technologies.

But core to the bioenergetics message is that even chemical activity has its roots in energy, so all of these are driven by a deeper and more profound control system, which we can refer to as the energy control system. This is also widely known as a biofield or body-field.

The Energy Control System

Here we can get into complex ideas involving “standing waves” and “space resonance.” But in practical terms, the idea is not difficult to grasp. We already live in a world where invisible fields influence outcomes all the time. Information is transmitted wirelessly through space via frequency – as with radio, cell phones, and Wi-Fi.

Similar in concept, while the body does have control systems based on electricity and chemistry, it also has an underlying field-based energy control system. This system does not replace the nervous, endocrine, or immune systems, but operates at a more fundamental level, influencing how energy is organized, coordinated, and expressed through them. Rather than functioning through step-by-step signaling alone, it operates through relationships established in fields.

In fact, modern physics already describes matter in terms of fields rather than isolated particles. In quantum field theory, entities such as electrons and protons are understood as localized “excitations” of underlying fields, and their interactions arise through those fields rather than through direct contact alone. When these fields overlap, they influence one another through their spatial relationships, giving rise to atoms, molecules, and increasingly complex biological structures.

Since everything built from atoms – including DNA, proteins, and cells – arises within the same underlying field environment, there is always some level of interaction across the system. In bioenergetics, when two structures are sufficiently aligned that their states have a certain level of influence on each other, we refer to this condition as a match. This describes a degree of resonance or coupling that allows coordination to occur.

Thus, the many parts of the body that we can observe and measure through traditional means – and that communicate through nerves, hormones, and immune signaling – also have a hidden conversation going on. Relations that do not replace known biological mechanisms, but operate alongside them, shaping timing, coherence, and integration across the body as a whole.

Researcher and author Lynne McTaggart has described the conventional chemical view using a simple metaphor. She compares it to throwing a couple of tennis balls into a pool and expecting them to randomly bump into one another in order for a reaction to occur. But with biological structures embedded within interacting fields, molecules need not operate in isolation. Instead, their behavior can be influenced by broader relational patterns that help organize when and where interactions occur. This does not eliminate chemistry, but shows how chemistry unfolds within an organizing context rather than in a vacuum.

The wisdom of the body includes the fact that it has multiple systems like this, and that they can interact, each with its own strengths. The benefit of wireless coordination is that it is instantaneous across the body, allowing for the complexity of life as we know it. What’s more, it can act as a kind of backup system to correct things gone wrong at the chemical level – if there are physical or toxic traumas to the body that distort chemical messages, an underlying energy-based “template” can influence corrections.

And indeed, this is the ultimate goal of bioenergetics – to amplify those subtle messages of the energy control system with solutions like Infoceuticals, and to restore the natural activities of the cells. In this way, to restore energy, accurate and efficient use of that energy, and ultimately one’s own vibrant energy for living a joyful and fulfilling life.
