Abstract :
This study attempted to determine the pattern of the human bioenergy frequency measured by Resonant Field Imaging (RFI) frequency counter at the frontal area of stressed and non-stressed individuals. Subjects were categorized into stressed and non-stressed groups by the scores of self-report questionnaires which consist of Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10), General Health Questionnaire 12 (GHQ-12) and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). The mean of bioenergy frequencies revealed to be significantly different among gender and educational levels of the subjects. Significant differences on mean of bioenergy frequencies were also found between the groups of stressed and non-stressed subjects. Male subjects showed statistically significant differences on the mean frequencies of bioenergy between stressed and non-stressed groups for K10 and HADS-Depression while female subjects only reported a significant difference on the mean of bioenergy frequencies between stressed and non-stressed groups based on HADS-Depression. In conclusion, RFI frequency counter was able to differentiate the human bioenergy frequencies in the stressed and non-stressed subjects, illustrating that the frequency counter may have a great potential to be applied as a screening tool in detecting individual with stress.
