In previous books including Songs For Two Children, Spirit Power Drawings, Northern Canada and Literary and Anthropological Studies, Dr. Ross has described the experiential and philosophical aspects of his study of human energy fields.

In Human Energy Fields, Dr. Ross proposes that the human energy field - called chi, the human aura, the life force, or the human spirit in different philosophical systems - and the electromagnetic field of the body are the same thing. Dr. Ross outlines applications of a new science of human energy fields in many different areas including anthropology, medicine, agriculture, weapons development, security systems, physiology, and psychotherapy.

As an example of the new science, he proves that an electromagnetic beam is emitted from the eye, and it interacts with the outside world. This energy beam could be used to activate a switch that in turn could be connected to any electrical device on the planet. Emission of any form of energy through the eyes has been disallowed by western science for hundreds of years, but it can be demonstrated with standard electroencephalogram (EEG) equipment. Dr. Ross proves this scientifically in Human Energy Fields.

The science of human energy fields unifies eastern and western medicine. It provides a method for studying therapeutic touch, acupuncture, kundalini yoga, and many practices in alternative medicine and traditional healing.
