Dr Albert Abrams (1863-1924) laid down the principles of radionics. His student Ruth Drown originated the concept of harmonising the ‘de-tuned’ life force using the radionic instrument.

The term radionics is a combination of the words, ‘radiation’ and ‘electronics’. The radionic instrument allied with the operators extra-sensory abilities is able to measure and utilise subtle force fields and energies, with the aim of healing the causes of disease that affects humanity and the other kingdoms of nature. ‘Subtle energies’ refer to forms of energy that cannot physically be measured with present day scientific devices. Examples of subjective methods are kinesiology and radiesthesia. Radioesthetics is concerned with the study of rays, the premise being that each animate material emits fine levels of radiation that can be measured, with for example, a pendulum. Using this device it is possible with practice to locate minerals, water, harmful geological radiations known to cause symptoms of ‘geopathic stress’ and to practice medicinal radioesthetics.
