Abstract

The Kirlian photography is one of the most spectacular ways to shoot different subjects. It is a technique based on electrical coronal discharge. It may be quite a mystery for the beginners in the art of photography. It shows the auras of different subjects. In this technique, the photographic plate made of metal is charged with a high-voltage source. It may seem hard to master this, but let me tell you it is still easier to shoot objects using Kirlian photography. The process is also quite simple. All an individual needs is to ready all equipment. It is recommended to use transparent electrodes instead of the discharge plate. It is a very interesting method to capture the coronal discharge of certain subjects. It will surprise you every time! The present manuscript is an effort by the researcher team to discuss the human bioelectricity and measure the different biophysical factors and reasons of different ill symptoms. We have tried to investigate the energy balances, head, and immune and musculoskeletal systems of subjects under study.

Key Terms and Definitions

Yajna

Yajna literally means “sacrifice, devotion, worship, offering” and refers in Hinduism to any ritual done in front of a sacred fire, often with mantras. Yajna has been a Vedic tradition, described in a layer of Vedic literature called Brahmanas, as well as Yajurveda. The tradition has evolved from offering oblations and libations into sacred fire to symbolic offerings in the presence of sacred fire (Agni).

Mantra

A mantra is a sacred utterance, a numinous sound, a syllable, word, or phoneme, or group of words in Sanskrit believed by practitioners to have psychological and/or spiritual powers. Some mantras have a syntactic structure and literal meaning, while others do not.

Jap

Jap is the meditative repetition of a mantra or a divine name. It is a practice found in Hinduism, Jainism, Sikhism, Buddhism, and Shintoism. The mantra or name may be spoken softly, enough for the practitioner to hear it, or it may be spoken within the reciter’s mind. Jap may be performed while sitting in a meditation posture, while performing other activities, or as part of formal worship in group settings.

Ayurveda

Ayurveda system of medicine with historical roots in the Indian subcontinent. Globalized and modernized practices derived from Ayurveda traditions are a type of alternative medicine. In countries beyond India, Ayurvedic therapies and practices have been integrated in general wellness applications and in some cases in medical use. The main classical Ayurveda texts begin with accounts of the transmission of medical knowledge from the Gods to sages, and then to human physicians. In Sushruta Samhita (Sushruta’s Compendium), Sushruta has considered the Dhanvantari as Hindu God and pioneer of Ayurveda.

Sanskrit

Sanskrit is an Indo-Aryan language of the ancient Indian subcontinent with a 3500-year history. It is the primary liturgical language of Hinduism and the predominant language of most works of Hindu philosophy and some of the principal texts of Buddhism and Jainism. Sanskrit, in its variants and numerous dialects, was the lingua franca of ancient and medieval India. In the early first millennium AD, along with Buddhism and Hinduism, Sanskrit migrated to Southeast Asia, parts of East Asia, and Central Asia, emerging as a language of high culture and of local ruling elites in these regions.

Vedic

The Vedic period or Vedic age (c. 1500–c. 500 BCE) is the period in the history of the northern Indian subcontinent between the end of the urban Indus Valley Civilization and a second urbanization which began in the central Indo-Gangetic Plain c. 600 BCE. It gets its name from the Vedas, which are liturgical texts containing details of life during this period that have been interpreted to be historical and constitute the primary sources for understanding the period. These documents, alongside the corresponding archaeological record, allow for the evolution of the Vedic culture to be traced and inferred.

Energy Measurements

There are various kinds of units used to measure the quantity of energy sources. The standard unit of energy is known to be joule (J). Also, other mostly used energy unit is kilowatt/hour (kWh) which is basically used in electricity bills. Large measurements may also go up to terawatt/hour (TWh) or also said as billion kW/h.

Other units used for measuring heat include BTU (British thermal unit), kilogram calorie (kg-cal), and most commonly ton of oil equivalent. Actually it represents the quantity of heat which can be obtained from a ton of oil.

Energy is also measured in some other units such as British thermal unit (BTU), calorie, therm, etc., which varies generally according to their area of use.

Bioelectricity

The term bioelectricity is used to define certain electric currents and potential produced by some activities in the living organisms. A living organism involves millions of biological processes which result to these types of currents.

Bioelectric potentials are similar to potentials produced by devices such as batteries or generators except that it is produced by living cells. All cells in living beings are electric, and thus this study of electricity in and around living cells is termed as bioelectricity.

Different biological phenomenon comprising certain movement of ions leads to generation of electricity that can also help in understanding of this life.

Yin and Yang Energy

This term is brought by the Chinese cosmology. All the traditional Chinese medicine, the martial arts, and their existence are believed to be because of this dynamic concept Ying and Yang.

Yin is feminine energy and Yang is masculine energy, or passive and active energy, meaning they can’t exist without each other. One’s presence is because of the existence of the other.

The Yang force is expressed by a contrasting opposite quality of energy to Yin, and thus both are said to be complimentary to each other. All types of order and disorder, winter and summer etc. are to balance the Yin and Yang energy.
