The Radionics Association of UK, which is the accepted world authority in this field, has provided the following definition of Radionics: 'It is a method of healing at a distance through the medium of an instrument or other means of using the ESP faculty.' In this way, a trained and competent practitioner can discover the cause of disease with in any living system, be it a human being, an animal, a plant or the soil. Suitable therapeutic energies can then be made available to the patient to help restore optimum health.
In all the procedures for making remedies in the search for Universal purity, only one law is respected : Law of Similar Vibrations. To be similar, is to approach as closely as possible the perfect image, to be faithful to the symbol which represents the same thing and this is the case in Radionics. It is an experimental fact shown over a 100 years ago that action at a distance on living beings is possible by using appropriate instruments; this phenomenon of non-material nature can be induced by the thought of the operator. The same phenomenon is discussed in experiments done on sub-atomic particles of matter, which show that the mind of the operator can influence the experimental results.

This radiance or non-material aspect of this living world can be represented in terms of coded information, e.g. by means of a symbol, geometric pattern, number, colour, sound or prayer. A new science, which analyses all these subtle waves, is at present emerging. It is based on the magnetic coding and geometric representation of all vibrations. This research and development on waves gives rise to a very particular therapy where one can reproduce the original vibration of any healthy body part or a substance and by discharging its information, induce this healing vibration into a medium : liquid or solid. Water acts as a neutral medium to contain these vibrations (since the human body consists of 70% water) but in practice more often than not, these are transferred into solids such as sugar pills (usually lactose or glucose) which are handy to dispense to patients. This procedure is referred to as vibration healing. In true Radionics, however, these vibrations are transmitted directly to the patient at a distance.

From the turn of the century, many researchers set out to discover and to define fundamental vibrations of life for everything that exists e.g. human body parts, basic elements, vitamins, proteins, amino acids, minerals, salts, etc. Similarly, diseases have their own vibrating frequencies, usually known as rates. In Radionics one of the following two methods is employed:-

1.Numerical Code Method: In this system, the RATE of a substance is represented by a numeric code consisting of a series of numbers up to eight, each between 0 and 9 e.g.  These rates were discovered by using the stick pad, which is a small piece of equipment consisting of a rubber membrane stretched over a resonance box. One rubs 1 or 2 fingers across this membrane while turning a series of potentiometers, which form a circuit with this resonance box. The first figure of the rate is determined by the position of the potentiometer (which is any number between 0 and 9) at the time when the finger sticks to the membrane. This process is repeated with a second potentiometer, which gives the second figure of the rate. Then a third, a fourth and so on until there is no longer any sticking effect.

2.Geometric Code Method: In this system, the RATE of a substance is represented by a geometric code consisting of a number of equal partial radii emanating from the inner circle which is part of a set of seven concentric circles. The position and the number of radii is determined using the basic Radiesthetic pendulum.

Today a Radionician has access to a vast amount of knowledge in terms of numeric and geometric codes for practically everything. These are available for all homoeopathic remedies, nosodes, biological and anatomical structures, diseases and functional disorders, hormones, vitamins, proteins, amino acids, minerals and biochemic salts, as are for all acupuncture points, colours, precious stones, herbs used in ayurveda, chakras, meridians, subtle energies and bodies. For agricultural Radionics, the rates of soil, plants, basic elements, toxins and poisons, pollutants and metals have all been determined with great precision. For the veterinary art, the rates of diseases of the main domestic animal races, feline, canine, equine as well as the anatomical structures of these animals have been determined.

Radionics Analysis

There are various instruments that enable a therapist to analyse his patients' energies. The latest device based on magneto-geometric principle was invented by Malcolm Rae according to which an abstract geometric pattern releases a wave form whose influence can be measured in the field of a circular magnet. By inserting an appropriately coded magneto-geometric card into this instrument, the therapist measures the extent to which the biological functions are affected, with the aid of a basic radiesthetic pendulum. This is called a patient's degree of pathological deviation of a function from perfect health function and it can be simply measured by anyone with proper training and skill. Similarly, an analysis of chakras in relation to the nervous centres and the endocrine glands is arrived at, thus indicating the degree of deviation of the patient's energy structures along with causes of these deviations. These may be simple inflammation, congestion, allergies, traumatic or emotional shock, stress or toxins from a childhood or past disease, thus preventing proper energy circulation in the body.

A Radionic analysis is not a medical diagnosis. It only reflects the subtle energies of pre-matter, responsible for giving life to all our psychological and bodily functions. Since emotional and mental imbalances originate in the etheric body, the results of these analyses are sometimes surprising and completely different from the biological analyses e.g. blood or urine analysis; so, frequently patients are treated for anger, jealousy, lack of confidence, vanity or sorrow through a chakra balance. In a recent scientific discovery, when the hologram of a horse's tail hair was enlarged 200 times, the entire horse was visible! It simply implies that a part represents the whole. 'All is in all' i.e. man is the microscopic representation of the universe. It is therefore not surprising that a piece of patient's hair or a drop of blood is used as a witness in a Radionics analysis.
