chi-plates or bio-circuits
From chip-plates.com : I
am a natural skeptic and need to test things for myself. I am
also curious and always on the lookout for something new and
marvelous that can stand up to my rigorous skepticism. Something
that does not 'fall over' when I 'rattle and shake' it. For
this reason I push myself to look at things that I usually dismiss
out of hand or that are considered 'too far out'.
I
am fascinated by electricity. When I read a book1)
on biocircuits and that they do not use any outside ectricity
but connected to a higher level equivalent of electricity in
the human body I was interested. I had to check for myself.
I
used copper for my biocircuits. In this case a set of copper
plates connected by copper wire, which allowed the natural subtle
energies of the body to flow. All I used were copper sheets
as used for electronic circuit boards and heavy multistrand
copper wire, no soldering. See chi-plates site
When
I lay on my own biocircuits I felt my hands get warm, and I
would fall into a deep sleep (what is nowadays called a "
power nap ") for 20 minutes. After that I woke up automatically
feeling fresh and relaxed.
This became my introduction to subtle energy (chi, prana, etc...)
For
those who want to find out more, search for the inventor of
biocircuits: "Leon Ernest Eeman"
The
commercial information below is shown with all due acknowledgments
to one of the many websites. It consists of a basic overview,
'sales talk' followed by a research paper.

Relaxation
Screens, sometimes called biocircuits or Eeman screens, were
discovered by Leon Ernest Eeman in the early 1920s. After serious
injuries in a plane crash, Eeman was deemed 100 percent disabled.
While hospitalized he recalled Jesus' admonition "Heal
the sick by the laying on of hands." Eeman reasoned that
this healing energy was the subtle energy of the life force
itself. Within two years after his release from the hospital
he developed techniques using these screens that "restored
him to better health than he had ever known."
These screens
are passive devices that facilitate the flow of subtle bodily
energy. A scientific, double blind study, that measured muscle
tension and skin conductance as well as monitored EEG, found
these screens to be superior for producing relaxation.
Relaxation Screens work to balance your bodily energy, called
chi, prana, life force, etc. Connecting the meridian terminations
in your hands to the points at the base of the neck and the
bottom of the spine augments bodily energy flow.
The copper screens act like an antenna to capture and radiate
the energy while the copper electrodes make contact with the
meridian points in the hands. Copper wire, an excellent conductor
for this energy, connects the screens with the electrodes. Connected
as illustrated at the left, the relaxation screens quickly reduce
stress and fatigue, quite your mind, and promote sleep. This
is also a great way to relax for 20 minutes and renew your energy.
The screens are 12 inch squares of .011 copper, 16 mesh, and
are sewed to a heavy cotton backing to insure comfort and durability.
The handles are 4" long, 1" polished copper tube.
All connections are silver soldered to avoid lead and increase
durability. The materials and workmanship are warranted against
manufacture defects for one year.
The commercial
biociricuit is made of: 12" Square
.011 copper mesh. Cotton backing, 1" Copper handles, Test
Lead wire and: Silver soldered.
Although
no medical claims are made or implied, many benefits have been
reported. This is also a great way to relax for 20 minutes and
renew your energy.

the paper
below describes a study on the use of biocircuits. Personally
I find that trying for myself was what got me interested. For

A Double
Blind Study of the "Biocircuit," a Putative Subtle-Energy-Based
Relaxation Device. Julian Isaacs, Ph.D. and Terry Patten
Editorial:
Inside Out, Outside In. Steven L. Fahrion, Ph.D.
Biocircuits are passive devices which are reported to cause
relaxation in users, supposedly by facilitation of bodily subtle
energy flow. A repeated-measures, within-subjects control, double-blind
study was performed to test whether a "relaxation"
biocircuit would produce more relaxation than a placebo-control
biocircuit.
The study
design controlled for expectation, order effects, first time
effects and ultradian rhythms. Dependent measures included four
physiological variables relating to arousal and relaxation (frontalis
muscle tension, one monopolar channel of EEG monitored for theta
episodes, finger temperature, finger skin conductance) and a
ten-item comparative questionnaire used to rank subjective experiences
relating to relaxation in session.
Twelve subjects
completed four sessions each. The first session for all subjects
was used only for familiarization and its data were not analyzed.
Subjects then completed three more sessions each, treatment
order being counterbalanced and randomly assigned across subjects.
The three sessions exposed subjects to a "relaxation"
biocircuit, a placebo-control "dummy" biocircuit and
a "tension" biocircuit.
The EEG
theta measure showed significantly more theta episodes associated
with the relaxation device than with the placebo-control (Wilcoxon
signed ranks test: p = .025 one-tailed). The frontalis muscle
tension measure showed significantly lower tension levels associated
with the relaxation device than with the placebo-control (Wilcoxon
signed ranks test: p = .01 one tailed).
The skin
conductivity and temperature measures did not reach significance
in any direction across any pair of treatments.
Five of
the ten questionnaire items comparing the relaxation device
with the placebo-control significantly favored the relaxation
device (all by Sign test with a priori probability of .5); subjective
estimate of relaxation (p = .0002); sensations of warmth (p
= .03); non-ordinariness of experience (p = .02); perceived
effectiveness (p = 0.02); perceived benefit (p = 0.02).
No questionnaire
items at the 0.05 significance level favored the placebo control
over the relaxation device. The findings of the study demonstrate
the superiority of the relaxation biocircuit over a placebo-control
for producing relaxation under fully controlled double blind
conditions.
