During this Viral pandemic, many of us have been forced to evaluate our lives and our inner selves and thorough self-analysis. Am I where I want to be? Am I who I want to be? Do I feel in balance? No doubt these are some questions you have had floating around your mind at some point, and perhaps more frequently with the present state of affairs. These are all explorative questions that call us to find out more about our underlying energies, and how to align ourselves in harmony. No, I’m not talking about meditation or spiritual prayer, although those can indeed be helpful. Here I am presenting a rather different viewpoint of healing medicine; One that examines our bodies’ actual energy systems and works to re-tune each pole to its natural state. It’s perhaps more scientific than it sounds but let me expand a bit on what we call ‘Eeman’s Circuit’ by first sharing the story of its unique discovery.
The Story Behind Eeman’s Circuit
British pilot, Leon Ernest Eeman, once sustained very serious injuries after his plane crashed during World War I, and was declared unfit for duty due to his disabling ailments. Although he was unfit for the military, he never counted himself out when it came to finding a way to heal himself. He recalled Jesus’s admonition: ‘Heal the sick by laying on of hands.’ This helped motivate Leon to discover a healing method for his condition. After diligent research, he developed techniques, called “biocircuits” or “Eeman screens,” that “restored him to better health than he had ever known.” He admirably discovered the body’s energy systems without any medicines, surgeries, or yogic techniques. His book, Cooperative Healing: The Curative Properties of Human Radiations, was republished in 1947 and is still referenced today.
Understanding Eeman’s Methods
The main idea behind Eeman’s methods was that the subtle energy circuits of the body need to be continually equalized to allow the electric ‘charge-based’ physical body to relax. He points out that there are electric currents in the body (now known as bioelectricity) that can be used for ‘human radiations’ healing, as he called it. His premise is that the body’s energy carries the same concept of polarity, acting like a magnet. Eeman showed that there was a way to connect the body’s energy systems by placing the left palm behind the head at the nape of the neck, the right palm over the sacrum, and the left ankle over the right. This, he referred to as the relaxation circuit.

The Role of Technology
So, what does this have to do with technology? Well, the circuit is most effective when used with a copper apparatus, one behind the head and another behind the hips or sacral region. However, the presence of the apparatus is minimal in comparison to many other electrotherapists and their more ‘tech-heavy’ methods. Eeman believed that the body didn’t have to be connected to an electric current generated from an external power source, such as a battery. He instead believed that the body had the capability to produce its own charge and thus create a more passive healing circuit. He viewed the body with the same properties as a battery: A cathode that generates a negative charge and an anode that generates a positive charge. He goes on to explain that when the body is connected to itself or other bodies using electrically-conductive wires and plates, in an order that aligns with these said polarities, “the bodies behave as though using an electromagnetic analogy – they were bipolar”. Using this charge of our body’s energy, Eeman concluded that the bodies were connected by “three axes: head to feet, back to front, and right side to left, and their detailed bi-polarities follow the known nervous tracts.
The Relaxation and Tension Circuits
There are two ways these directional forces can be set up: The Relaxation Circuit or in the opposite direction, The Tension Circuit. Eeman made the case that his Relaxation Circuit promotes ““relaxation of voluntary muscles and stimulates functional activity. It fosters sleep, recovery from fatigue and disease, capacity for work and health in general. The tension circuit reverses these more or less. Both circuits affect not only organic but also nervous and mental health”.
Applying the Method
So rather than being too technical, this method simply takes the foundational energy found from the body’s naturally existing charge and enhances it with the use of conductive wires and plates. This is a prime example and lesson of how to have enough faith in our minds, bodies, and spirits to heal ourselves without replacing our foundational hacks with technologies, but instead building upon them with new technological enhancements. Remember Technology is our servant, not our master.
Conclusion and Contemplation
It is tough to say whether this method is indeed everything it claims to be. The best way is of course to try it out for yourself. But I think it also helps to hear testimonials from influential users to give you a perspective of how it works. Here is a recount from Nisha J. Manek MD, the author of Bridging Science and Spirit. She tells of how she tried the circuit using Physicist William A. Tiller’s handmade apparatus:
“Tiller’s apparatus makes completing the biocircuit easier on the hands because it has copper bars to hold on to; the copper bar for the left hand connects to a copper wire mat behind the head (base of the brain). The left side appears to be of subtle energy polarity, while the base of the spine (sacral area) and the right hand appears to be of the opposite subtle energy polarity. Crossing my left ankle over the right, I soon sense pulsing, minute, current-like sensations in both hands. Most impressively, my scalp relaxes, and my mind is quiet like I am in meditation. Twenty minutes later, I rise feeling refreshed, like I’ve had a catnap. I have found it simple, safe, and effective. Every time.”
Manek goes on to explain that you can learn to pump the subtle energy within your body using your hands. “Lie on your left side with your head on a pillow and place your left hand on your neck at the base of your skull, your right palm on your tailbone. Cross your left ankle over your right. If you stay in this position for fifteen to twenty minutes, your body will have a relaxation response.”
Closing Thoughts
I know for many readers this whole process may seem far-fetched to say the least. But often times, many brilliant ideas are initially viewed this way and even ridiculed for a long time before becoming tolerated and eventually accepted. Copernicus’ idea was that Earth was not the center of the Universe. Semmelweis’ idea was that there are little organisms called bacteria contributing to deaths. They were all laughed at and even threatened at times. We thankfully live in a more tolerant world today, but the ridiculing, although less severe, is still around. The best practice is to do your research and be a student, not a follower. If this method interests you, then look more into it and maybe give it a shot. It may help to ease some tension brought on by the pandemic while also getting your body more in tune with its natural energy. If you’re not interested,
