ISSSEEM Second Annual Conference
The second annual conference of ISSSEEM will be held in Boulder, Colorado, June 26-30, 1992. We are plcasai
to chair the program committee for this meeting. Also serving on the committee aze: David Hibbazd, M.D.,
Ching -tse Lee, Ph.D., and Robert Shellenberger, Ph.D.
The theme for the conference, Bridging the Paradigms Through Clinical Practice, Research and Theory, reflects
three factors: the diversity of the membership of ISSSEEM; the contributions of clinical work, laboratory re-
search and theory to our knowledge ofsubtle energies and human potential; and the continuous evolution of the
accepted paradigm as data and theories from many disciplines enlarge and transform that paradigm and form a
bridge to the new.
The conceptual shifts occurring in physics, medicine, and psychology (to name only three disciplines) aze based
on data that cannot be explained by traditional theory; these data stimulate new concepts and models. We pro-
pose the following tasks for the second annual conference: (1) to present data regarding subtle energies and
human potential from different disciplines that suggest conceptual shifts and that bridge the paradigms; (2) to
describe how traditional theories might be revised and new theories formulated to account for the data; (3) to
continue discussions initiated at the first annual conference on appropriate methodologies for obtaining reliable
data. '
A call for submissions is included in this newsletter. A "multidisciplinary" conference is planned, with speakers
who contribute to the expansion of the conceptual matrix and account for the phenomena ofsubtle energies and
human potential, thus bridging the paradigms. Because data are an essential element in the bridge between
paradigms we emphasize the need for well-documented clinical and research findings that illustrate or imply the
existence ofsubtle energies and human potential. This might include for example, anomalous medical, physical,
and psychological phenomena. We encourage symposia and panels that bring together laboratory reseazch and
clinical data. Finally, we encourage the theoreticians among us (and the theoretician within us all) to explore the
conceptual bridges that account for the phenomena ofsubtle energies and human potential and that unify these
phenomena.
We are pleased that Flmer Green, President of ISSSEEM, will discuss the nature of the paradigm shifr in his
welcoming comments, and will continue his discussion of the "copper wall" data, We have invited Robert
Becker, M.D., author of The Body Elrcmcand Cross Currcnu, to be the keynote speaker. Other invited addresses
will be scheduled at the beginning of each day. The Second Annual Conference will be one day longer than the
first conference, and the shore courses will be held late afternoons. These and other changes enable longer
presentations and greater audience participation.
We anticipate continued excitement and camaraderie as we come together again to share ideas and experiences
with our colleagues in the International Society for the Study of Subtle Energies and Energy Medicine.
Sincerely, i

INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR THE STUDY OF
SUBTLE ENERGIES AND ENERGY MEDICINE
C. PENNY HIERNU, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, 356 GOLDCO CIRCLE, GOLDEN, CO 80401 [phone]
Dear Colleague:
It is a pleasure to tell you of the International Society for the Study of Subtle Energies and Energy
Medicine (ISSSEEM), an interdisciplinary society for the study of informational and energetic
interactions-and invite you to become a member. The Society is concerned with the study of
informational systems and energies that interact with the human psyche and physiology, either
enhancing or perturbing healthy homeostasis. A quarterly newsletter is published, and a journal
titled Subtle Energies and Energy ~l~ledicine: An Interdisciplinary Joternal of Energetic and InformationaC
Interactions is published 3 times a year.
The Society was informally organized in September, 1989 by clinical psychologist Carol Schneider,
biomedical engineer T.M. Srinivasan, anthropologist Stephan Schwartz, and myself, a
psychophysiologic researcher. The journal of the Society was independently planned several months
ago by Stephan Schwartz (editor) and others. Ms. C. Penny Hiernu, Golden, Colorado, a
professional in the field of society development, management, and activities, is Executive Director.
This general information piece describes our goals and objectives in detail. With these plans in
mind, the Socien~ is, indeed, privileged to ask you to join in this enterprise. Thus far over 1,900
individuals have elected to join us in this exciting venture. We hope you will give us a favorable
response and that you will choose to do so promptly. It is correct to say, I believe, that our voices
may not be indIVidually heard in the tumult of world affairs as we move into the next century, but
together we will command attention!

I~~SEEI~I General Inforara~.ation
We are going through an interesting period in human
history in which science and some of the transper-
sonal aspects of the human psyche seem to have a
measure of common ground. The subtle energies
that course through our bodies and psyches seem to
tx? capable of being elicited by visualization method-
ology giving rise not only to unique states of con-
sciousness, but also to measurable psychophysiol-
ogic behavior, including autogenic, neuroimmune
and neuroendocrine phenomena. But these are only
parts of the picture. Other phenomena, of physics,
biochemistry, and psychology also seem to be associ-
ated with subtle energies and energy medicine.
Understanding and facilitating the use of subtle en-
ergies, both for therapeutic purposes and for the
study of human potential, will perhaps open up to
consciousness new (albeit traditional) depths of the
human mind. If this should indeed be the case, one
task of the Society will be to find and bring together
those who are capable of synthesizing the two major
interests of humankind, Natural Science and the
transpersonal aspects of the human psyche. In modern
jargon, this might include, though not be limited to,
full integration of left cortex and right cortex with
deeper brain centers.
1. Energy medicine includes all energetic and
informational interactions resulting from self-regu-
lation or brought about through other energy cou-
plings to mind and body. In addition to various
therapeutic energies which we may use, there are
also energy pulses from the environment which in-
fluencehumans and animals in a variety of ways. For
instance, low level changes in magnetic, electric,
electromagnetic, acoustic, and gravitational fields
often have profound effects on both biology and
psychology.
In addition to energies originating in the environ-
ment, it has been documented that humans are ca-
pable of generating and controlling subtle not-yet-
measurable energies that seem to influence both
physiologic and physical mechanisms.
2. Compared with "energy medicine," the
concept of subtle energy is more difficult to discuss
in a scientific paradigm. The traditional subtle ener-
gies referred to as chi (or ki), prana, etheric energy,
fohat, orgone, odic force, mana, homeopathic reso-
nance, etc., are said to move in the so-called etheric
body (subtle body), and seem to be difficult to meas-
ure at present. A number of therapeutic methods
prevalent today, however, appear to be concerned
with facilitating the flow of these subtle energies
through the dense physical body.
In addition, it is traditionally accepted that expan-
sions ofconsciousness often are related to changes in
subtle energies that cannot be quantified. These
latter "energies," which are said to be associated with
interactions and with transcendence, may not, in fact,
actually be involved with known physical fields.
To state it succinctly:
The Society, will attempt to study and consider all
concepts related to subtle energies and energy medi-
cine. With such objectives, and with the availability
of computer networking and its potential for biblio-
graphicdistribution, itnow scemsuseful, for a number
of reasons, to contact those who are interested in this
field of research and clinical practice. Over a period
of time, we can profit much: (1) by finding out who
we are, (2} by constructing a research and clinical
data base from bibliographic sources around the
world, (3) by publishing a carefully referred journal,
Subtle Energies and Energy Medicine: An Interdiscipli-
nary Journal of Informational and Energetic Interactions.
and (4} by encouraging the exchange of information
through conferences, seminars, and workshops.
If you find this proposal of interest, a membership
application is attached. Modest membership con-
tributionswill: (1) support a central office in Golden,
Colorado, establish a computerized membership
listing and provide central office networking; (2)
bring you the Newsletter of Subtle Energies and Energy
Medicine four times a year, a forum for the exchange
of important information and ideas in the field; and,
(3} bring announcements about the Journal (see in-
formation}. included on back panel}. Subscriptions
to the Journal are now available.

Subtle Energies: An Interdisciplinary journal of Energetic any
Informational Interactions
Subtle Energies is designed to meet the needs of those experimentalists and clinicians who pursue their
interest in consciousness, and the dynamics and limits of human potential, by employing rigorous and
ethical scientific methodologies, and clinical procedures. It is explicitly inter-disciplinary to a'tlow those
with a deep understanding of one discipline to compare its insights with those attained by others working
along different paths.
The Journal fills a gap; the lack of a single high standards publication providing an interdisciplinary
forum for exploration in these areas. As matters presently stand, anyone interested in energy medicine
or subtle energy experimentation, must survey at least half-a-dozen journals, in several disciplines, as well
as several interdisciplinary journals, to gain a truly meaningful insight into the field.
Each issue contains articles focused on both experimental research and clinical practice. =opefully,
another dimension of synthesis will occur when the clinical and experimental communities, who often
have little contact with one another, share reports of significant developments, and the exchange about
them which follows. There will be a letters section (for less formal exchange), and sections of book
reviews, reports and correspondence. Attention is being paid to the journal's design and appearance.
Subscription information and fees are outlined on reverse side of page.
