Science tells us that we live in a virtual sea of invisible fields of influence, which impact our daily lives in profound ways, yet we typically have little or no conscious awareness of them.

In Science, these phenomena include:

• The activity of the Earth’s geomagnetic field, which has been shown to be correlated with various emotional and psychological states in human beings.
• Electromagnetism, which initiates the attraction of positively charged protons to negatively charged electrons in human cells.
• The strong nuclear force, which is more powerful than electromagnetism and therefore holds positively charged protons together within the atomic nucleus.
• The biophoton field in plants and animals, which is believed to be the chief means of communication between DNA molecules across the entire body of a plant, animal or human.

These and other forces play crucial roles in our lives. And if it weren’t for science informing us of their influence, most of us would remain entirely unaware of their existence. The same can be said of “subtle” energies. The emerging science of subtle energy reveals the existence of energies that exist beyond the four known forces of conventional science (the strong nuclear force, weak nuclear force, electromagnetism and gravity). These energies are faster than light and typically unmeasurable using electromagnetic instruments; hence the term “subtle” energy.

The subtle aspect of these energies does not speak to their capacity for facilitating positive transformations in behavior, health and awareness, however. Research has revealed that the presence of these energies can lead to such transformations, in both the short-term and long-term, by effectively “conditioning” the space in which they emerge. Such spaces have been anecdotally reported for centuries in places often referred to as “sacred,” whether they are power spots in nature, holy pilgrimage sites or sites with long histories of deep prayer and meditation.

By constantly cultivating highly conditioned spaces of ultra-high frequency energy—energy that is associated with higher states of consciousness, it is possible to subtly but effectually raise the level of consciousness of the surrounding environment, and thereby “pull” or “attract” human consciousness toward higher stages of development. This process might be thought of as a kind of “sacred environmentalism,” in which the practical coupling of our physical nature with our higher spiritual capacities becomes easier and more accessible.

What is a Subtle Energetic “Signature”?

In his book, The Basic Code of the Universe, Dr. Massimo Citro speaks of a basic governing “code,” made up of “the ensemble of information that allows bodies to exist, the blueprint of the construction.” This code can be thought of as having both an informational component and an energetic component, the former informing a particular substance how to “be” itself, and the latter providing the subtle vehicle for the flow of that information. It is this basic governing code that we refer to as the “energetic signature” of a substance.

Is Experiencing the Subtle Energetic “Signature” of a Particular Substance the Same as Actually Ingesting the Physical Substance?

When experiencing signature energy, yes and no. The energetic signature of a substance is its quintessence, its purest distillation. So, devoid of its extraneous physical components, the experience of it is far more refined and understated, but no less powerful in its ability to affect long-term transformations in consciousness. In fact, in many ways this subtle energetic signature is far more capable than the physical substance to effect positive change, especially when it is amplified, because it resonates more powerfully with the subtle and causal energies associated with human life and consciousness. You might think of the energetic signatures produced by Subtle Energy Sciences as flower essences amplified millions and even billions of times. The key is long-term potentiation: The longer one is immersed in these amplified subtle energetic fields of influence, the more they initiate and facilitate positive change over time.
