Can the latest technology in modern science, like artificial intelligence (or AI), reveal clues to ancient healing practices? One engineering research group ( Joy A, et al, 2022 ) proposes just that. The biofield, or aura, is a living system of subtle energy that enhances wellness. It is a smart container, working within and outside of a living being. The biofield is a super data processor, much like modern computer systems. Both the aura and computers work with codes, interactions, and libraries of data. They make the invisible become visible to the observer, who interprets the data. Artificial intelligence and the biofield can be trained to speak a common language. Meanwhile, we listen and learn. Welcome to the era when ancient practices meet modern science.
