Not a Machine but a Flame | The Biology of Energy at Columbia and Beyond
About this episode
The episode explores the biological and physical aspects of energy in healing through insights from renowned scientists.
What is the “energy” in energy healing? Every healer in this series uses the word. Every patient reaches for it. Ancient traditions built entire systems around it. But what is it — biologically, physically, measurably — and how does it move through the body to heal? Three renowned scientists begin to offer answers: Columbia University's Martin Picard on the mitochondria that may link consciousness to biological health, Richard Hammerschlag on the biofields that run all the way in and all the way out of our bodies, and NYU's Neil Theise on the interstitium, a newly discovered hidden network coursing through us. Together they reveal an eye-opening vision of the body not as a machine, but as a dynamic energetic ecosystem. Original music composed by Dan Baboulene. Additional music by Starluxe.
