A biofield is a term used in holistic wellness and energy medicine to describe the complex, subtle field of energy and information that surrounds and interpenetrates a living organism, particularly humans. It’s often understood as the dynamic, organizing energy system generated by the body’s own biological electrical activity, including the nervous system and cellular processes. It may also extend outward beyond the physical form.
The term was coined by researchers convened by the U.S. National Institutes of Health in the early 1990s to provide a scientific-friendly label for what many traditions have long called life force, aura, prana, or qi. In this context, the biofield encompasses both measurable aspects (such as electrical and magnetic activity) and subtler energetic components that are not yet fully captured by conventional instruments.
While terms like “energy field” can refer more generally to invisible fields of energy associated with living beings, the biofield is specifically tied to the living organism itself and reflects its ongoing physiological, emotional, and informational processes.
In holistic practice, supporting the biofield often means working with energy-based and frequency-based techniques to help enhance coherence, balance, and integration across physical, emotional, and subtle levels of wellbeing. Quantum wellness tools such as the
H.E.A.L.360™ Capsule from Leela Quantum Tech can help with this balance.
