The concept of a vital force or
subtle energy, which is central to virtually all indigenous medical systems,
presupposes that there is a subtle organizing biofield that is the heart of
life. It is the first responder to intent, will, mood, belief, and thought.
This subtle energy, this biofield, extends from within us to beyond the
human body - into the surrounding space - entangling us with one another,
the biosphere, and even the cosmos.
Although conversation
about this vital force was excluded from conventional biology long ago, it
is being actively researched by frontier scientists who are building a
scientific foundation for energy medicine and by those exploring the
interrelationship between mind and body - as well as mind and matter.
Join us for a fascinating
evening with one of the foremost researchers in the field.
IONS Meetings are held on

Biography:
Beverly Rubik earned her
Ph.D. in biophysics in 1979 at the University of California at Berkeley. She
is internationally renowned for exploring biofield science and energy
medicine. Her main area of focus is research on the subtle energetics of
living systems, including the human energy field in health and healing. She
has published over 60 papers and 2 books. Dr. Rubik presently serves on the
editorial boards of Journal of Alternative & Complementary Medicine,
Evidence-Based Integrative Medicine, and Integrative Medicine Insights. She
has served on the advisory boards of various groups, including the Program
in Integrative Medicine at University of Arizona under Dr. Andrew Weil.
Dr. Rubik was one of 18
Congressionally-appointed members of the Program Advisory Board to the
Office of Alternative Medicine at the US National Institutes of Health (NIH)
from 1992-1997, and chaired the NIH panels on electromagnetic medicine and
manual healing. This was the precursory organization to National Center for
Complementary and Alternative Medicine.
Dr. Rubik founded the
Institute for Frontier Science (IFS), a nonprofit corporation, in 1996.
Laurence S. Rockefeller, Sr., helped support the founding of the IFS. In
2002, IFS was awarded an NIH center grant for frontier medicine research on
biofield science in consortium with researchers at the University of
Arizona. Dr. Rubik was a project director in this consortium and supervised
studies on Reiki, a form of Japanese spiritual healing, and on qigong
therapy, a healing practice that originated in China. Dr. Rubik is currently
conducting nonprofit research in psychophysiology, measuring 40 Hz from the
prefrontal lobe of the brain in relation to health and higher states of
consciousness.
Beverly Rubik has appeared
on numerous television programs throughout the US and worldwide, including a
live appearance on the most popular morning television program in the US,
“Good Morning America” (ABC-TV), where she presented her findings on the
human energy field in December 2000. She serves as a consultant in the
health care industry on maverick health and wellness products and as a
holistic health practitioner and educator to individual clients. |
