The human body is a sophisticated, multi-faceted antenna system comprised of a crystalline matrix that is constantly transmitting and receiving (transceiving) all manner of informed energies. In Part 1 of this series we explored the role of piezo crystals that reside in most of our skeletal structure. In the final part of this series, we’ll have a look at the role of liquid crystals.

Like piezo crystals, liquid crystals also detect mechanical stress and change shape. These are the same sort of crystals found in many flat-screen computer monitors and televisions. The goo that forms at the bottom of a soap dish contains liquid crystals as well.

Liquid crystals also make up our cell’s membranes and the arrangement of DNA in our chromosomes also possesses a liquid crystal structure. An investigation into how these crystals function in the body may also help treat diseases such as Multiple Sclerosis, Sickle Cell Anemia and even Cancer.

Professor Peter J. Collings, who wrote the de facto standard book on this topic titled Liquid Crystals: Nature’s Delicate Phase of Matter and states that “the ability of biological organisms to form fluid structures of some rigidity in an aqueous environment is central to the existence of life on this planet.” James L. Oschman, who authored Energy Medicine: The Scientific Basis, echoes this sentiment by stating that “crystalline arrangements are the rule, not the exception, in living systems.” He also states that, “Crystalline components of the living matrix act as a coherent molecular antenna, radiating and receiving signals.”

The way to tune this antenna is through the repetition of such practices as yoga, martial arts or even playing an instrument. These disciplines also involve entrainment, which is mindfulness of breathing and heartbeat rhythms that bring the body and brainwave activity into a synchronous, harmonious state. Entrainment of the crystalline matrix in this way brings the entire being into a state of coherence. In other words, the whole being becomes one big, resonant antenna.

From our bones to our cells, the crystal matrix of the body turns it into one large antenna for the transmission and reception of many types of informed energies including those that are filtered through the subtle energy bodies. Traditional Ancient Chinese medicine asserts that this flow between the physical body and the subtle energy bodies occurs through the exit and entry points along the meridian system. Positioning the body in certain ritualistic postures, such as those found in Tai Chi and yoga, aid in transceiving these informed energies.

The human body is a sophisticated, multi-faceted antenna system comprised of a crystalline matrix that is constantly transmitting and receiving (transceiving) all manner of informed energies. The matrix is mainly comprised of two special types of crystals known as piezo and liquid crystals. What they are and how they work will be covered in this series.

Piezo crystals reside all over the body. They are found in the bones, intestines, teeth, and in the collagen arrays of connective tissue such as ligaments, tendons and cartilage. The basic function of a piezo crystal is to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy and vice versa. It’s why weight-bearing exercise is good for you.

Here’s an example, every time you take a step, the bones in your feet and legs are compressed. This activity squishes the crystals in the bones, deforming their shape. When that happens, they discharge an electric current that goes to your brain and tells it to reinforce the bones in that area.

Piezo crystals only emit a tiny current, but it’s very useful. In fact, these crystals are at the heart of what makes an electric guitar work. The pickup, with the shiny six dots under where the hand strokes the string, is full of piezo crystals. When the vibration of the string hits them, they deform and send out an electric current that is amplified many times and comes out as a wall of sound from a guitar amplifier.

This makes you wonder how sound, both inside and outside your body, makes your crystals react. Think about all the extra electric current shooting off inside you when your heart beats or you tone OM. This effect has been studied with great interest since the 1950s as a way to promote rapid bone healing.

The ability of piezo crystals to deform in shape when hit with an electrical charge has benefits for us too. It’s how matter gets moved through your digestive tract. Recall that your intestines are loaded with piezo crystals.

Have you ever had a gut feeling or felt something in your bones? There may actually be something to that feeling that science will eventually be able to detect and measure. These areas are the main components in the physical body’s antenna system. (Read the blog post on this topic.)

In the next segment of this series, we’ll cover how the liquid crystals in your body help you transceive (transmit and receive) informed energies.
