The Group Energy Healing Experience: Fastest Path To A Total Consciousness Overhaul
Healing yourself is connected with healing others.

What Is Group Healing?
The group energy healing phenomenon has the capacity to alter our consciousness and switch out the very lens through which we see, feel, and experience ourselves and the world.
As a recipient of various kinds of group healing work, and a practitioner of a group healing modality that I call BioSoul Integration, over the last twenty years I’ve witnessed the transformational power of the group healing setting first hand.
Whether it’s through group acupuncture, chiropractic, energy work, plant medicine, meditation or yoga, group healing works by syncing us up to a larger collective mind—a field of energy from which we download a more productive perspective and identity than the one we may have had previously.
In this blog post I’ll go into detail about the group healing phenomenon, the collective field, the principles that governs the information exchange between the field and our nervous system, as well as, connect with some really smart people who’s work cooroborates these theories.
Direct Experience Of Group Energy Healing
Here’s a video I made on the key reason that group energy healing is often more transformational than other methods:

A New Lens
Imagine your mind going through a major makeover, where your entire way of looking at things gets a total upgrade.
It’s like trading in your old glasses for a brand new pair with a prescription that allows you to see more clearly, in general, and to see things you couldn’t see before.
It’s not something that’s easily put into words.
It’s a transformation that can really only be understood after the fact through direct experience.
My journey into the world of group healing began two decades ago when I was in chiropractic school.
I crossed paths with an extraordinary practitioner who specialized in something called Network Chiropractic, a gentle, yet energy-focused, form of chiropractic care.
Receiving care from her meant that I was in a room with four or five other people, each of us lying on our own table.
The practitioner smoothly moved between us, taking gentle contacts along our spines, tending to our individual needs while orchestrating the healing process.
Initially, I was doubtful, unsure of how this unconventional method would play out.
But as I lay there, something extraordinary started happening.
New Awareness
My breathing started to change.
I could sense energy flowing through my body.
Sometimes it felt really good to let my body move with this energy.
Sometimes there was profound stillness.
Each session went on like this.
One day, after about the fifteenth session, I walked out of her office, and I felt three-hundred pounds lighter.
The sky seemed to shimmer in a way that I hadn’t remembered it doing previously.
Colors were more vivid.
It wasn’t just the external world that had changed; I was experiencing a major shift in my inner world, too.
Emotional Awakening
An overwhelming feeling surged in my body—an emotion I would later recognize as gratitude.
Under the influence of this feeling I experienced a cascade of love, and positive thoughts and reflections on my life.
Suddenly, I saw the incredible opportunities that life was providing me with: my chiropractic education, the blessing of a love relationship I was in, and the unwavering support of my parents.
And I uderstood how the trouble that I was having in those areas of my life were largely of my own making—something I was largely ignorant to before.
But now the blinders were removed, revealing the damage I had caused, not just to myself but also to those around me.
I felt the pain of that ignorance but I felt it through my heart.
I was processing it through the lens of love—love for myself and for those I’d hurt.
Physical Awakening
This awakening wasn’t limited to my emotions.
In that moment a river of energy flowed, from the place in my lower back where I usually experienced pain, through my heart.
I understood the connection between the grief and emotional pain that I had been carrying, my past actions and behaviors and my low back pain.
The chronic low back pain I’d been experiencing for years changed drastically for the better.
Spiritual Awakening
This newfound awareness was transformative, motivating me to make meaningful changes in my life moving forward and compelling me to help others experience the same.
That’s the definition of spiritual awakening, after all.
We integrate our spiritual selves into our physical bodies such that we become aware of our spiritual essence and our spiritual gifts and are able to share those gifts and that essence through our physical bodies onto this physical plane.
This was my introduction to the world of group healing.
I recognized that it was the group healing setting that was responsible for the ground shaking experience I’d had and I wanted to explore more deeply what was behind the changes that happen inside of this model.
The Power Of The Collective Energy Field
Central to our exploration of group energy healing is the idea of the collective mind, or the group energy field.
The collective mind is the interconnected energy field that surrounds and interpenetrates us from the moment we’re conceived.
This energetic field holds the perspectives and identities that influence our individual experiences and our understanding of ourselves and the world.
It quietly shapes our identities, molds our thoughts, and plays a role in forming who we are.
What’s fascinating is that most people go through their lives without any awareness of the profound impact this energy field is having on them.
Think about how our families and the societies we grow up in influence us.
Did you grow up in a conservative community or a liberal one, were people around you religious or secular, wealthy or poor, wellness oriented or sick, were relationships healthy and harmonious or troubled and chaotic, etc., and what is your relationship with those parts of your life now?
These environments shape our earliest view of ourselves and the world and profoundly affect our interactions moving forward.
They lay the groundwork for our beliefs, values, and our sense of self.
And that’s where group healing comes into play because the power of this collective energy field, while it can affect us negatively, can also be leveraged to help people change their fundamental programming in a positive way.
In the coming paragraphs, we’ll explore the transformative potential of group healing within the context of this collective energy field.
How The Field Shapes Our Nervous System
Understanding how the collective energy field influences our nervous system is a crucial part of our exploration into the group healing phenomenon.
It’s a revelation that challenges conventional ideas about individual thinking and identity.
Instead of our thoughts being entirely our own creations, they are significantly shaped by how our nervous system has been tuned by the collective field.
Of course there are the purely physical parts of our nervous system that everyone is familiar with, but there’s also an energetic aspect to our nervous system which overlaps and interacts with the larger collective energetic field that surrounds us.
As mentioned earlier, this larger, collective energetic field contains a lof of information in the form of perspective, identity and belief.
So we might assume that the thoughts that come into our head originate soley from our own minds, OUR thoughts, thoughts that WE came up with on our own, but the reality is more complicated and very much related to the collective energetic field that our minds are soaking in.
The process of tuning our nervous system begins early in our development, even before conscious thought emerges.
The Primal Brain
Around two to four weeks after conception, the foundational layer of our nervous system, what I call the primal brain, starts to form.
The primal brain is attuned to the energetic aspects of our surroundings.
One of the things this sensitive aspect of our nervous system is concerned with is survival, instinctively seeking to harmonize with the collective energy, to fit in with the herd.
Again, this isn’t a conscious or deliberate process; it happens automatically, driven by our innate survival instinct.
Our primal brain observes the environment, sensing how those around us relate to fundamental aspects of their relationship to themselves and life that we talked about earlier, such as God, money, love, power, passion, purpose, work, health, etc.
It assesses our dependence on these people for survival and instinctively tunes itself to align with the perspectives and beliefs that it finds.
The impact of this tuning process is profound and wide-reaching.
It shapes our core identity, influencing not only our thoughts but also our beliefs, values, our actions and even the shape of our bodies.
Physical Impact Of The Field
The field’s influence goes beyond just affecting our thoughts and beliefs; it also leaves a mark on our physical bodies, shaping our posture and bodily expressions.
While many people attribute our physical appearance solely to genetics, there’s a more intricate interplay between our inherent traits and the environment we grow up in.
When we sense, as a result of the collective field, that certain parts of ourselves are unsafe to feel, we wall that personal energy off with muscle tension.
We instincively change our posture to redirect personal energy and to change, hide or suppress these parts of us, preventing them from being fully expressed.
This instinctive manipulation of our body puts a limit on the range and depth of emotional expression.
Limiting the range and depth of emotions has an effect on the thoughts and stories that we are receptive to.
So there is a direct connection between our bodies, how we hold them, and our receptiveness to certain beliefs about ourselves and the world.
In the age-old debate of nature versus nurture, we often overlook the role of the field and our surroundings in shaping who we are.
The field significantly contributes to our physical appearance, posture, beliefs, and ultimately, our sense of self.
This realization challenges the conventional understanding of individual identity.
Thought Is Secondary To Feeling
It’s important to point that these complex patterns are ingrained in us during a stage of development that happens long before we’re capable of language and rational thinking.
They become part of our nervous system at the level of direct felt experience, a level that goes beyond conscious thought or deliberate choice, becoming deeply embedded aspects of our essence.
This deep integration makes these patterns incredibly resilient and resistant to change.
In some healing circles, there’s a prevalent belief that our thoughts alone shape our identity and experiences.
The common approach is to modify our thoughts with mantras, habituated positive thought and affirmations to bring about change in our lives.
Doing that can’t hurt, but since our nervous system was patterned by the collective field before we were capable of rational thought, while we were relating directly to the field through our felt sense of it, we can’t think our way into a different reality… we can feel our way into one, though.
That’s why mindfulness meditation and other tools for becoming familiar with our feelings and the felt sense of them in our bodies is a necessary strategy for healing.
Different Field, Different Consciousness
But it would also be helpful if we could step into a different collective field altogether.
Einstein said something like, “You can’t solve a problem from the same consciousness that created it.”
Any thinking, no matter how high vibe, is still happening inside the same consciousness.
What we need is a repatterned nervous system that can receive a different quality of information.
Group energy healing can create a new collective field that can then retune our nervous system.
But how does this communication between the field and our nervous system happen?
How Information Moves Between The Field And Our Nervous System
Group Energy Healing And The Law Of Entrainment
Information flows between the collective energy field and our nervous systems via a process known as entrainment, a term initially coined by the physicist Christian Huygens in the seventeenth century.
Here’s an deep-dive blog post I did on the law of entrainment and how it’s the principle that drives us toward healing and evolution, complete with videos and other information links.
Getting back to Huygens, he noticed something interesting about the pendulum clocks he had hanging on his wall.
When they were initially set in motion, they swung in different directions.
But over time they would become synchronized, swinging together.
How did that happen?
In the case of the pendulum clocks, they were “communicating” with each other by way of the vibrations that translated between them through the material of the wall they hung on.
Because of the law of conservation of energy, when they’re connected through the shared medium of the wall, it’s just more energy efficient for the pendulums to swing together in the same period.
Here’s a video courtesy of the UCLA Physics and Astronomy Department that demonstrates this principle with metronomes…
This same principle governs how information flows between our nervous systems and the collective consciousness field.
Dominate Pattern Generator
Within this concept of entrainment, there’s the idea of a dominant pattern generator.
In the world of physics a stronger pattern generator will compel other oscillating/vibrating bodies to match its rhythmn.
Picture one of those pendulum clocks as having more weight, inertia, and a stronger rhythm.
In such a scenario, it would exert a more powerful influence on the other pendulum, eventually coaxing the weaker pendulum to match the rhythm of the stronger one.
This analogy reflects the dynamics of the relationship between the colletive energetic field that surrounds us, and our nervous system.
The collective field is a pretty strong generator of a rhythm, stronger than our singular consciousness.
Take me for example: I grew up in a conservative, Christian household in Nebraska.
For miles around, the prevalent mindset was the same.
That conservative, Christian mindset was a strong pattern generator and my own nervous system and consciousness was compelled to sync with it.
I’m not a conservative Christian anymore, but that’s not to say that conservatism and Christianity are wrong.
Every ideology has its wisdom, and every ideology has its shadow.
It’s just that through the healing work we do, it becomes clearer what parts are wisdom and what parts are distortions of a greater truth.
So we can pick and choose from every ideology what parts feel right to us.
Ultimately it ends up being your own ideology and you trust that, and that becomes the dominate pattern generator in your life.
Reversing The Law Of Entrainment For Healing
However, this entrainment phenomenon can be used to retune our nervous systems by intentionally creating a potent and transformative field of our own.
Group energy healing serves as a method to generate these fields, offering a way to counteract the unproductive patterns that may have shaped us.
A Gateway To Transformation
Earlier I mentioned the profound transformation that I went through at the hands of my Network Chiropractor.
As I’d said I was always receiving care in a room with four or five other people.
I’d felt that the awakening experience I’d had was directly related to the power of the group healing setting.
The group energy healing phenonmeon was a critical aspect of this Network Chiropractic thing.
Donald Epstein, the creator of Network Chiropractic, noticed something fascinating during his chiropractic practice.
He saw that when people received care in a group setting, the transformations they underwent were much more significant.
This observation led him to develop events that he called “Transformational Gates.”
Here’s a video I made about my own group healing experience at one of these Transformational Gate events:
These were large events where hundreds of individuals would gather over a weekend to receive collective healing and energetic work.
In this group setting, something extraordinary happened—a unique field was created.
While there’s always an underlying field of energy, the presence of 200, 300, 400, or even 500 individuals, all united by a common intention, had a profound effect.
The Group Entrainment Field
This field had a specific purpose: to draw attention to what was happening within their bodies and to change their consciousness in a way that was more positive and aligned with their inner strengths and true selves.
This field and its intention became the dominant pattern generator.
The sheer number of participants, all focused on the same goal, generated a powerful force.
This force was filled with the energy of love, connection, and healing.
This dominant pattern generator, fueled by the collective intention and the sheer number of participants, overshadowed the old, unproductive patterns and beliefs that people held.
It encouraged individuals to recognize what was working, tap into their inner resources, and rewire their nervous systems based on these new, empowering patterns.
The results were incredible.
Over the course of a single weekend, people emerged from these events with completely transformed perspectives.
Their consciousness went through a complete shift, much like changing the lenses through which they viewed the world.
It was as if they had upgraded their mental operating system, reaching a higher level of self-awareness and alignment with their true selves.
Group Energy Healing Is An Age Old Concept
Donald Epstein didn’t invent this phenomenon.
Group healing and group energy work have deep historical roots, seen in practices like yoga, meditation, and ceremonial gatherings aimed at bringing healing to individuals or the community.
The reason behind this tradition is clear—the collective energy of a group can reshape the field, pushing aside existing patterns and creating an environment ripe for transformation.
Another example can be found in the work of Joe Dispenza, who uses sound, visuals, and group dynamics to create a similar group field.
These gatherings serve as a channel for participants to connect with and absorb a different consciousness, effectively shifting their perceptions and experiences.
In essence, the concept of entrainment and the dominant pattern generator within a group setting emphasizes the immense potential of collective intention and energy in driving personal and group transformation.
Other People’s Work That Corroborates My Theory
The HeartMath Institute
There’s a research and education organization called the HeartMath Institute in California that’s committed to the exploration of the mind, the heart’s incredible abilities and how they relate to health, wellness and quality of life.
One astonishing thing they found in their research is that the heart’s field is much stronger than the one made by the brain.
This is a big deal because we usually think of the brain as the boss.
But, it turns out that the heart is a kind of brain of its own in that it processes information and the heart makes decisions for the body in the same way that the brain does.
Physiological Coherence
One of their important discoveries is about a body-wide coherent state that happens when the rhythmic systems of the body sync up with the heart rhythmn, called physiological coherence.
They found that by doing a kind of mindfulness meditation technique where people focus thier attention on the heart, they could create this state of coherence in their system.
They noticed that this state of coherence has some serious health benefits, like lowering blood pressure, relaxing the body, and boosting the immune system.
Psycho-physiological Coherence
Furthermore, they noticed that when folks added these heart-related emotions to their practice, a different quality of benefits arose.
They called this state psycho-physiological coherence.
People reported feeling more connected to themselves, more connected to others, had a more positive outlook on life and an improved overall quality of life, which is another way of saying it changed their consciousness.
What’s more, they noticed that when people were touching or close to each other, the person in a coherent state could pass that state on to the nervous system of others, along with the positive benefits to health and wellness.
And if there were multiple people all registering this coherence state in their nervous systems, others were even more likely to spontaneously develop the state of coherence, too.
Rupert Sheldrake And The “Morphic Field”
Rupert Sheldrake, a researcher and author has developed the concept of what he calls the “morphic field.”
Sheldrake’s morphic field is an energy field containing all the information that has been learned by a species throughout its evolutionary journey on earth.
When individuals are born into a ceratin species they have an uplink to this morphic field, which informs every aspect of their biology and consciousness.
In Sheldrake’s book, Morphic Resonance: The Nature of Formative Causation, he recounts some experiments that researchers were doing on mice, that he believed was evidence of the existence of his morphic field.
Important Research
Researchers started with one group of mice and trained them to find their way through the maze.
What happened next was pretty mind-blowing.
The generation of mice that were born of the “trained” mice were able to run the maze faster than their parents.
In the experiments this extended out to fifteen generations.
Researches shrugged it off as a product of genetic adaptation.
But then mice were brought in that were not related to any of the generations of “trained” mice.
Guess what? The “unrelated” mice were also able to make their way through the maze faster.
More scientists got interested in this, and they did studies at places like Melbourne University.
They found the same thing: their conclusion was that mice seemed to be connecting to a shared “mouse field,” giving them access to knowledge and abilities that had been learned by the mice that came before them.
Bruce Lipton, Biology Of Belief And Epigenetic Factors
Bruce Lipton is a fascinating thinker who wrote a book called The Biology of Belief: Unleasing The Power of Consciousness, Matter & Miracles.
In his book he challenges the idea that our genes control everything about our health and future.
Lipton explores how our genes, our beliefs, and our surroundings all interact in interesting ways.
Instead of thinking that our genes represent an unchangeable plan for our health, as is the mainstream idea around genes, Lipton says that our genes can actually switch on or off because of different factors in our environment, or epigenetic factors.
Communication Betwen Our Cells And The Field
One of the epigenetic factors that Lipton talks about is the conversation that our cells and our DNA have with our environment through the electromagnetic field that we might find ourselves surrounded by and how that will affect our belief about ourselves and the world—our consciousness essentially.
Let’s say that in my genome is the potential for being diabetic.
If I stay resourced, eat healthy, live a low stress life, surround myself with people who have a healthy mindset and believe myself to be healthy and vibrant, it’s entirely possible that the diabetic genes will never be expressed.
If, however, I live a high stress life, eat unhealthily, get under-resourced in other ways and am surrounded by people who have an unhealthy mindset, it’s likely that I will too, and it makes it more likely that that gene will be expressed and I’ll develop diabetes.
In other words, what we soak up from our environment, and what we consequently believe about ourselves and the world can decide if a gene for, say diabetes, gets switched on or not.
Wrapping Up
Group healing is a profound journey into our consciousness and the surrounding collective energy field.
Group healing work creates a unique collective field, fostering shifts in perspectives, beliefs, and well-being.
Scientific research from institutions like the HeartMath Institute, Rupert Sheldrake’s work on morphic fields, and Bruce Lipton’s insights on epigenetics provide compelling evidence for collective field impact.
This field communicates with our nervous system through entrainment, reshaping our fundmental identity.
In the exploration of group healing, we find our individual experiences linked to collective consciousness.
Through intention, community, and a deeper understanding of our nervous system’s relationship with the field, we unlock self-awareness and transformation.
