Biocircuits: Amazing New Tools for Energy Health by Leslie Patten

by Leslie Patten

A well-written eye-opener on the most exciting field in science today--the study of the body's electrical and quasi-electrical energy. Ideally suited for home use, biocircuits balance and magnify the body's natural energy. (Holism)

About the author

Leslie Patten has an unusual combination of experience that allows her to write her new book The Wild Excellence. She is a published author of Biocircuits: Amazing New Tools for Energy Health. She also has written several eBooks on gardening, and has kept an online blog journal for many years on wildlife issues from her home in the remote regions next to Yellowstone National Park.

Leslie has worked with land her entire life. She is an avid gardener, and still practices as a professional landscape designer in Marin County, California. She has a degree in horticulture, a certificate of design from The San Francisco Botanical Garden at Strybing Arboretum, as well as two years of formal naturalist training from the College of Marin. She spent over five years working with elementary school children in Muir Woods National Monument and Muir Beach, teaching them about ecology and the natural world. She also worked on a three year spotted owl study conducted by the Golden Gate National Recreation Area locating owl nest sites and conducting chick counts. Patten is a member of the Marin County Tracking Club and spent over thirteen years in a spiritual community studying meditation.

Since moving to Wyoming in 2005, she has helped on wolf, elk and grizzly bear studies, as well as The Gloria Project, a climate change study, in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. She volunteers at the Draper Natural History lab of the Buffalo Bill Museum of the West preparing museum quality specimens of birds and mammals. Leslie enjoys hiking with her dog Koda and exploring the Greater Yellowstone Area.

[George Henry · Rating 5 out of 5]

I found this book on the shelf in the local library's store in which they sell books they've removed from the shelves. The book was published in 1988, but it turns out that it is dated only in relatively minor ways and serves as a fine introduction to its topic. One can find articles on various Websites nowadays that provide abbreviated introductions and information usually at least partly oriented toward selling products that fall under the "biocircuits" description.

What are they? That's what I wondered. It turns out they are simple "devices," with no moving parts, that facilitate the flow of life force energy - chi, prana, orgone or od, pick your terminology, as those are at least overlapping, if not identical concepts. Skeptics will dismissively complain that such energy, as presumably separate and distinct from electromagnetic energy, has been scientifically proven to exist - to which my response is, the fact that humans haven't figured out how to measure something in a laboratory does not prove that it doesn't exist. The repeatable experience of a great majority of people - and careful scientific experiments conducted by Leon Ernest Eeman, who developed (apparently) the first biocircuits - have demonstrated that certain repeatable and well-defined effects are indeed associated with biocircuits.

The Pattens' book is a fairly exhaustive treatment of what these circuits are, their history (up to the time of the book's publication), what they do, and how they work. General instructions are included whereby one night put one together - a relatively simple process that most people would be able to follow easily. Alternatively, as I mentioned above, commercial biocircuit products exist.

Biociruits is also well-written. It's a very readable and informative book, and it seems clear that a significant amount of research was performed by the authors.

The book is written from Leslie Patten's first-person perspective, her husband Terry being listed as a contributing author. In part, the book details Leslie Patten's journey with biocircuits and the benefits she received from them.

I was motivated by the book to purchase an Eeman relaxation circuit (as the type invented by Eeman, which is made from copper, is called; it's the type recommended for beginning users). I haven't received it yet (as of this writing), but am definitely looking forward to using it and experimenting with it. Apparently, among the many benefits of the circuits are general relaxation, stress relief, improved sleep schedule, and many other beneficial effects, some leaning toward the mystical, metaphysical or paranormal (for advanced users).

I recommend first perusing the information about the subject that's available on the Internet currently. Then, if one finds oneself intrigued and wanting to learn more, the Pattens' book is definitely a good source of in-depth information that one might feel motivated to consult.
