If you look at the human body, it appears to be solid – flexible yes, but still solid. Yet, we know that roughly 70 percent of the body is water (with variations, depending on one’s age). Can you hear that water splashing around? Of course not, because it is contained in trillions of tiny little balloons called cells. Let’s magnify an individual cell—or better yet: an individual drop of water. We will find that it is made of molecules. These also resemble balloons, and are filled with gases: hydrogen and oxygen. Now, if we could go deeper into them, at higher magnification, we would find atoms—the tiniest particles that make up the entire universe.
Let’s review the atom – in case you skipped your quantum physics class. When you think of atomic structure, you may compare it to the solar system: in the middle of the atom, you have the nucleus (like the sun in the middle of the solar system). Surrounded by electrons (like the planets around the sun) travelling at a certain distance from the middle, never drifting away or collapsing into the center. The real key to understanding energy is the actual distance between the nucleus (or the sun) and the electrons (or planets). For a moment, don’t think of the model of the solar system sitting on the teacher’s desk that you remember from school. That was only a visual aid that has nothing to do with accuracy. The real model would be impossible to contain in any school facility. The actual distances are just mindboggling: If we could shrink the sun to the size of a pea, Pluto (sorry, Pluto, for losing your planet status, but it is the last rock in our solar system) would be a mile and a half away, and it would be the size of a bacteria! Yet, they still stay together in their predetermined path, held together by this invisible force we call gravity.

The actual atomic structure is even more unbelievable. If we could magnify the nucleus (which is positively charged) to be the size of a pin head and put it in the middle of a stadium, the closest electron (which is negatively charged) would be outside the bleachers! Moreover, the weight of the entire stadium (or atom in this case) would be contained in that single nucleus! Now imagine the tiny electron as only a speck of dust (if even that) travelling around the stadium at such break-neck speed, that you would never be able to actually point it out. It would cover any spot in the stadium at any given moment, giving it the appearance of a full ball. Yes, to an outsider, the atom would appear to be a ball. However, we do know that it is not. Most of that atom is just the energy holding things together. 99.9999999999 percent (give or take a few nines) of the atom is just empty space, like the universe itself. As in the universe, there are some distant “stars” in the atom as well, called quarks, as well as other tiny “particles,” but they are not important for our visualization.
Now, if you take one of these near empty stadiums and find another nearly empty stadium and then another mega zillion of these, you will end up with a human body. We do appear solid, but we know that deep down we are made of mostly nothing. 99.9999999999 percent of empty space to be more accurate. We are primarily pure energy.

We also know that our bodies are electromagnetic in nature. Our nerves transfer electromagnetic signals all day long. Our heartbeat is regulated by electric current. Not to mention our electromagnetic brain activity. As a matter of fact, we can measure everything in our bodies that we can measure in a radio or TV set: we have amps, ohms, volts, etc.
As with the power lines which are surrounded by an electromagnetic field as long as there is current, our bodies are surrounded by a certain electromagnetic field as well. In the power lines, the field can be measured, and it can be mathematically accounted for. The human body is a bit more delicate and complex than that. It would be quite difficult to get an accurate reading, and quantifying would be nearly impossible. There are ways to photograph the field around us, but those are still not precise enough. Kirlian photography has been around since the 1930s with mixed results. It is possible to take aura pictures of your hand or a leaf or various other objects or body parts. However, it can’t give a precise measurement of the energy field. There are Kirlian machines that will depict what your aura around your head may look like in real time, but those, again, are just electromagnetic connections read off your hand (through a conductive plate) subsequently transformed in a computer to a picture around your head. They are great for new age expos, but not good enough for modern medical diagnoses.
