Part 1

A brief introduction...

This esoteric and occult work includes aspects of natural healing such as certain emanations from the healers hands (and body), healing at specific times of the day and the focussed healing intent of the healer – the healer being you, the reader (NOTE – esoteric simply means knowledge that is already available “inside” all humans – although they “may not remember” how to access it, and occult simply means “hidden” knowledge acquired from external sources)

The first part of this short compendium ... “To the Healer” ... explains one of several methods of natural hand, or “palm” healing, that anyone can easily learn. I have used various methods of natural “palm” healing over the years, but I consider the method, as described below, to be one of the easiest for budding healers to quickly master

Throughout this short compendium of healing articles, I will give an insight as to “some” of what is actually happening, physiologically, during the healing process – then after the healing process (after the healing session comes to a close)

... “To the Healer”

1...Seek the permission of those you intent to heal

2...position the “healee” in a comfortable position and area

3...before you begin the “healing” slowly breath in through your nose, then slowly exhale through your mouth a minimum of 12 times (also ask the “healee” to do this – with their eyes closed if possible)

4...begin in one of the following ways: place your left hand very near, or directly over the affected area, then place your right hand directly opposite the affected are

OR – place both of your hands on both shoulders of the “healee” (your palms facing towards the “healee”)

OR – place the palms of your hands on the head of the “healee” (your palms facing towards the “healee”) with both hands on top of their head

OR – place your left palm on the forehead and your right palm at the back of the head – just where the neck meets the skull

5...as you carry out one of the procedures above, in “4”, imagine a white (or golden) beam of “healing” light coming from above your head, then passing down your arms, then going into yours hands, then passing from your hands into the body (whichever area your palms are touching) of the “healee”

6...continue “4” and “5” for several minute, or up to one hour, or for however long is enough for you and the “healee” to both be comfortable with

7...generally, healing is often more effective if the “healee” sits in silence, whilst focusing on their breathing, and the healer could also be more effective by healing in silence and by focusing on the “healing light” coursing through their body, then entering the “healee”

8...at the end of the healing session it would be appropriate for the healer to offer the “healee” a glass of water to drink. Dialogue can ensue between the healer and “healee” at the end of the session, and any apparent benign effects (of the hands on healing) that is being experienced by the “healee” can be discussed in a caring way (a caring way by the healer)

9...as is generally (or often) the case, the more healing that a budding healer undertakes, the more success in healing is actually achieved

10...NOTE – healing can take place immediately, or it may begin slowly and quicken at a later time; healing may result in a full recovery (a full healing) or a partial recovery (a partial healing)...every situation is different and every “healee” is different – but generally, everyone has some natural healing ability – to some greater or lesser degree

Part 2

Local Sidereal Time 13-30, or LST 13-30, enhances ESP, all psychic abilities and focussed attention – as in attention to the healing process – by 400%

Using the information as seen in PART 1 (or other healing methods) at specific times of the day...

The table, as seen below, will (should, to some greater degree at least) greatly enhance not only a budding healers ability to heal, but will also enhance all of the human abilities that have been classified as “Supernatural” or “Paranormal”. Abilities known as “psychic” “ESP” “focussed attention” (focussed attention on a specific intention) “prayer” “remote-viewing” “clairvoyance” and so on

The table, as seen below, gives the specific time-frames when all of the above mentioned abilities can be enhanced by up to 400% (research Dr. James Spottiswoode's work)

I’ve accounted for BST in the table seen below. The times seen in the “LST optimum times” column are the peak times, to the second, for optimum ESP etc. experience – although all psychic abilities and focussed attention are greatly enhanced in a two hour “window”, beginning 1 hour before the stated time seen in the “LST optimum times” columns, then ending 1 hour after the stated time seen in the “LST optimum times” columns

Although the specific time-frames in my table below were specifically designed (by me, Crabtree) for the time-period beginning October 25^th 2015 and ending on October 30^th 2016, my formula to produce other daily or weekly LST 13-30 time-frames – post October 30th 2016 - can be seen in the first 3 boxes (left to right) at the top of the table – directly above the Date / LST optimum times columns, and directly underneath the table

The Difference Between GMT, UTC and LST - Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) is often interchanged or confused with Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). But GMT is a time zone and UTC is a time standard. GMT is a time zone officially used in some European and African countries. The time can be displayed using both the 24-hour format (0 - 24) or the 12-hour format (1 - 12 am/pm).UTC is not a time zone, but a time standard that is the basis for civil time and time zones worldwide. This means that no country or territory officially uses UTC as a local time. Sidereal time is measured by the rotation of the Earth, with respect to the stars (rather than relative to the Sun). Local sidereal time is the right ascension (RA, an equatorial coordinate) of a star on the observers meridian. One sidereal day corresponds to the time taken for the Earth to rotate once with respect to the stars and lasts approximately 23 h 56 min. See below the table “when the clocks needs to be set one hour forward or backward to 2020”

I put together my LST tables / formula back in 2006, and all times seen to Oct 2016 are accurate. I constructed my formula after studying various data from various astrophysical journals, and the like. All calculations have been carried out by me, and without the use of software etc.; all work seen here can’t be reproduced in in form or fashion without my consent.

Formula example seen below - subtract 23minutes 36seconds every 7 days

Sun Oct 25 2015 11:25:11

Mon 26 11:21:15 minus 3min 56sec

Tue 27 11:17:19 minus 3min 56sec

Wed 28 11:13:23 minus 3min 56sec

Thu 29 11:09:27 minus 3min 56sec

Sat 31 11:01:35 minus 3min 56sec

Sun Nov 1 2015 10:57:39 minus 3min 56sec etc.

When the clocks needs to be set one hour forward or backward to 2020

Forward: Sunday 27 March 2016 - Sunday 26 March 2017 - Sunday 25 March 2018 - Sunday 31 March 2019 - Sunday 29 March 2020

Back: Sunday 25 October 2015 - Sunday 30 October 2016 - Sunday 29 October 2017 - Sunday 28 October 2018 - Sunday 27 October 2019 - Sunday 25 October 2020

Extracts from Healing with your hands - (Magical Magnetic Healing) Richard Crabtree March 2014

(SEE FURTHER BELOW “Warming up” before the healer conducts the “laying on their hands” – and the act itself )

Dr. Beverly Rubik “I think bioelectromagnetics promises to be a valuable area of further research. I think the study of low-level electromagnetic energy emanating from people's hands or foreheads, for example, should be pursued. At the same time, we should remain open to other possibilities, and to ask new questions about subtle life energy so that we are not blinded by our faith in conventional scientific concepts.”

Dr. Olga Worrall (extracts) “I visualized healing energy flowing from my hands, “she said, “just as I do when treating a patient. After about half a minute we saw a wave pattern develop in the sensitive zone of the chamber. The waves were parallel to my hands and seemed to be moving from the right hand toward the left.”

She had previously said she does her most effective healing work with her left hand.

“After several minutes, I shifted the position of my hands 90 degrees. The waves began to change direction and soon were moving at a right angle to their original path. Other members of the research team placed their hands around the cloud chamber to see if they could produce a visible effect. Nothing happened.”

Several weeks later the experiment was repeated at a distance of some 600 miles. Dr. Worrall was at home in Baltimore, Maryland and the cloud chamber was still at the college in Atlanta. What happened was not precisely according to plan but the results perhaps were even more meaningful than if the plan had been strictly followed. Dr. Worrall explained, “Dr. Miller asked me to concentrate my thoughts and energies on the cloud chamber at exactly 8:50 P.M. He also suggested that I mentally hold my hands at the sides of the chamber for several minutes and then change the orientation 90 degrees as I did when I was actually present in the physics laboratory. “But I was not able to reverse the flow because they forgot to tell me they had changed lab rooms. So when I projected my mind to the original room it was in darkness and I had to go down the hall and find one that lighted. I was quite was annoyed with them because they didn’t tell me where it was going to be. So I forgot to reserve my hands!”

Nevertheless, the experiment was a success--in more ways than one. At 8:53 the mist in the cloud chamber began to pulsate and the wave motion continued for approximately seven minutes. Then the motion subsided but did not change direction. “It was their fault,” said the healer. The scientists waited expectantly for a change o direction of the wave motion. It never came, thus eliminating any idea that suggestion on their part was affecting the results. A second “transmissions” of healing power to Atlanta from Baltimore a few minutes later produced similar results, and eight minutes were required for the unidirectional undulations in the cloud chamber to subside.

This was a further verification of the physical effect of healing energies, including absent healing, and the implication is inescapable: that it is reasonable to believe such energies may have a profound influence on body cells. So Dr. Miller and his colleagues set about trying to find other methods of detecting the energies and, probably more important, a method of measuring them. “Since plants are living systems, and like human beings, are reputed to have an etheric or nonphysical counterpart, there was a good possibility they could serve as detectors, said Dr. Miller. “Absorption of the energy by the nonphysical part of the plant could produce a measurable reaction in the physical.” END OF Dr. Olga Worrall EXTRACTS

Science has proven that thought waves travel great distances (see the many related articles and video links on my website for the verification of such, and the like) and science has proven that you can also affect others with your thoughts. Scientific have shown that theses waves of energy travel in both directions instantaneously - at the same time. As you think so you will affect others. If you are not confident you will reduce your healing energies and hinder others from receiving your energies.

See if the following words resonate with you...

WHAT YOU THINK, YOU CREATE.

WHAT YOU CREATE, YOU BECOME.

WHAT YOU BECOME, YOU EXPRESS.

WHAT YOU EXPRESS, YOU EXPERIENCE.

WHAT YOU EXPERIENCE, YOU ARE.

WHAT YOU ARE, YOU THINK.

“Warming up” before the healer conducts the “laying on their hands” – and the act itself

To find out what bio-magnetism energy feels like, do the following simple test: rub your hands together vigorously until they become very warm, then hold them loosely and relaxed about four or five inches (between 7 to 10cm) apart, fingers slightly parted.

At this point, you should feel a slight tingling or numbing sensation. This is what vital life energy feels like on a very superficial level. With prolonged practice the feeling should intensify, sometimes becoming very hot, though not uncomfortably so. It can also become tangible in sensation, like a pressure or an invisible ball.

For better “hands on” healing results I suggest that you carry out the simple procedure above preceding every healing session.

Some additional factors to assist your healing abilities is avoiding stress when applying the “laying on of hands” are as follows

1...make contact by your hands with the other person

2...rub your hands vigorously together, bring them slightly apart, and then almost together...feel the energy in your hands

3...breathe in and out several times yourself, releasing carbon dioxide as you take in oxygen to assist in calming yourself...a minimum of 12 slow deep breathes/exhalations should be undertaken, and certainly a few minutes of deep breathes should be considered

Healing with your hands...Negative energy, life depends on it; Magnetic energies and the Human / Animal biological energy system are similar

1.1...in this section the biomagnetic North Pole of a magnet and the left hand palm of the Healer both emit “negative” healing magnetic energies......the biomagnetic South Pole of a magnet and the right hand palm of the Healer both emit “positive” healing magnetic energies......generally, the North Pole / Left Hand Palm produce the greatest healing affect – when in doubt ALWAYS USE THE LEFT HAND PALM or THE NORTH BIOMAGNETIC POLE

1.2...clasping the hands together (as though in prayer) is now established in the field of electromagnetic physics as a “closed loop” or a “closed circuit”

1.3...energy flows through this circuit from the RIGHT HAND PALM (positive) to the LEFT HAND PALM (negative)...the ancients in our history knew what they were doing – they used the position of their hands to give strength to the system as well as for prayers and meditation...your “praying hands” will strengthen your entire system (NOTE: my, Crabtree, alternative concept of prayer is simply a “focussed thought, or thoughts” or “your focussed attention” on an “intention”... see my books The Universal Law of Attraction and The Real Magic of Sacred Sites-Sacred Places...also see Human / Animal / Plant Biomagnetic Fields in Part 1 further above)

2...women often perform better than men in studies...women can by concentration and practice generate equal or more bio-magnetic strength than men...you will be a better healer if you keep yourself in good physical and mental shape

3...THE RIGHT HAND...the palm, inside finger surfaces, inside parts of the fingertips contain POSITIVE voltage – magnetism and electricity are present...the energy is similar to that of the South Pole of a magnet, to the positive pole of a single-cell flashlight battery

4...THE LEFT HAND...the palm, inside finger surfaces, inside parts of the fingertips, contain a NEGATIVE voltage – magnetism and electricity are present, the energy is similar to the energy in the North Pole of a magnet and in the Negative pole of a small battery

5...when the left hand palm is applied to a painful area the pain is reduced – with continuous applications the pain is sedated, and with further use the arrest is complete...left hand reduces!

6...the right hand palm promotes strength, expands and gives encouragement

7...RIGHT HAND PALM energy will increase pain (see 17 further below - caveat to the information seen here)

8...LEFT HAND PALM energy will reduce sensitivity to pain

9...if a subject/patient has a weakened area on their body apply the RIGHT HAND PALM energy for strength – but do not apply to weakened areas if pain is present

10...both hand palms can be used together – the right palm will increase strength, while the left hand palm will sedate pain

11...energy will not be cancelled out when using both hand palms together because each separate energy has its own effect, flowing from one hand to the other as energy flows from positive to negative terminals of a battery...here you are using total energy application

12...being primarily right or left handed make no difference to the energy voltage polarity in each hand – left hand palm still produces negative energy etc...as you would use the LEFT HAND PALM you could use the BACK of the RIGHT hand for the same effect (a mother does this when she places the back of her right hand against her baby’s brow to test for temperature – whether the mother is aware or whether this is a natural, normal inborn instinct is debatable)

13...there is energy and strength given from the left hand palm and fingertips, but it is not the kind that would encourage physical strength...the same is true for the North Pole negative energy of a magnet – the result is a “cleaning effect” instead of a “strength effect”

14...electricity passes from the positive terminal of o battery to the negative terminal of a battery – this is a law of physics, and it applies when you place both of your hands on or near a person, animal or plant...depending on your hands location on the subject or near a subject, a current is now flowing through that subject or over the surface of its form, from the RIGHT HAND position to the LEFT HAND position...this is called total energy application...the Davis research show that energies travel into the body, and if the magnetic strength is sufficient, will leave the body after penetration, and continue...for general overview of hand energies – see Part 5, 4 further above

15...injury / healing sequence...injury ...negative voltage rises...healing occurs...negative voltage returns to normal

16...apply the left hand palm to areas of distress, such as a broken bone, and an infected or swollen area

17...healing a broken bone (caveat to the information seen in 7 above) – apply the right hand palm to the immediate area of the break, apply the left hand palm on the side furthest away from the main bone (break)......the left hand palm on the opposite side to the main bone break acts to encourage the healing better in this instance

18...arthritis – left hand palm energy directed externally to an abnormal build-up of calcium, such as forms of arthritis, will, over a period of time, in daily applications from weeks to months, slowly dissolve calcium that is not normal in bone growth

19...head – here we have two energies existing in near relation...(A) if you place your RIGHT HAND PALM to the back of the lower part of the head, and the LEFT HAND PALM against the frontal part of the head, then this will enforce the natural energies of the head...the result will be an increase in strength and a feeling of well-being...(B) if you reverse the process, RIGHT HAND PALM positive to front of head negative, and LEFT HAND PALM negative to back of head positive, there is a disturbing effect that lowers the efficiency of the brain...when these two different scenarios are played out with stronger voltage charges of 20 volts humans/animals become more alert, happy and playful as in scenario (A) above, when (B) scenario is played out humans/animals will become limp and unconscious – the (B) scenario is known as “Electro Sleep”

20...ESP and the “Third Eye” – the centre of the forehead, just above the top of the nose, is known as the “Third Eye” area – applying the LEFT HAND palm, or the BACK of the RIGHT HAND on this area of the forehead for 30 minutes has shown increase in ESP abilities, and more ease of concentration and calmness in deliberation (the NORTH BIOMAGNETIC POLE of a magnet for no longer than 10 minutes increases the minds sensitivities – Davis found that 300 gauss magnets for only 3 to 5 minutes quite effective)

21...the opposite procedure to that seen in 20 above makes the mind more active, but less calm and sensitive (positive energy increase stress...did you know that telephones emit SOUTH POLE energy)

22...the feet can be used to heal...the soles of the feet are larger than the hands and can be applied to more surface area...RIGHT FOOT SOLE = positive energy, strength energy...LEFT FOOT SOLE=negative energy, healing energy – see 16 and 8further above

23...mouth saliva of animals has a negative healing charge

Part 4a

Healers with “healing hands” emit thermal radiation to patients

(see related science in Part 4b further below)

Our bodies radiate infrared energy through the skin at 3 (3,000nm - Near-infrared, see Near Infrared further below) to 50 microns (50,000nm), with most output at 9.4 microns (9,400nm). Our palms emit FIR (Far Infrared) energy also, between 8 (8,000nm) and 14 microns (14,000nm). “Palm Healing” (1 micron =1000 nanometres - a micron equals 1/1,000,000 of a meter.)

Infrared light lies between the visible and microwave portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. Infrared light has a range of wavelengths, just like visible light has wavelengths that range from red light to violet. “Near infrared” light is closest in wavelength to visible light and “far infrared” is closer to the microwave region of the electromagnetic spectrum. The longer, far infrared wavelengths are about the size of a pin head and the shorter, near infrared ones are the size of cells, or are microscopic.

Infrared light includes most of the thermal radiation emitted by objects near room temperature. Infrared light is emitted or absorbed by molecules when they change their rotational-vibrational movements.

The infrared portion of the spectrum can be divided into three regions in wavelength

Far-infrared, from 300 GHz (1 mm) to 30 THz (10 μm or 10,000nm NOTE see the natural “Palm healing” aspect of this frequency further below)

Mid-infrared, from 30 to 120 THz (10 to 2.5 μm or 10,000nm to 2,500nm)

Near-infrared, from 120 to 400 THz (2,500nm to 750 nm)

Infrared radiation is popularly known as "heat radiation," but light and electromagnetic waves of any frequency will heat surfaces that absorb them.

Near-infrared - These shorter wavelengths are the ones used by your TV's remote control. N.A.S.A. has measured near infrared light tissue penetration as deep as 9 inches, or 23cm. Yet, it is more complicated. Tissue penetration is related to light intensity.

In the near infrared, the energy is much more intense because it is concentrated in a smaller surface area and you have the option of targeting it on a specific area of your body. In far infrared, the total warmth is spread out over a very large surface area.

Near infrared frequency is an established anti-inflammatory agent. This is the main reason that near infrared light reduces pain. Another amazing benefit specific to near infrared light! Near infrared light enhances the cells’ production of nitric oxide.

Nitric oxide is a signal molecule that regulates vasodilation. The result of near infrared stimulation is increased levels of nitric oxide lower blood pressure, reduced arterial plaque adhesions, and enhanced circulation. Also, an added benefit is increased nitric oxide confers anti-oxidant protection inside the cells. Our bodies have cellular receptors for near infrared.

They’re called chromophores and they absorb specific wavelengths of near infrared light and use that energy for cellular action. This means we are biologically hardwired to NEED near infrared light for optimal health.

When chromophores absorb near infrared light, they take that energy and use it to enhance the cell’s production of ATP. ATP is the way our bodies store chemical energy. The result of near infrared energy is more cell power to produce proteins and heal tissue. In study after study, near infrared light makes the body repair itself faster and more efficiently. All because of the chromophores and our natural need for near infrared.

Far infrared waves are thermal. In other words, we experience this type of infrared radiation every day in the form of heat! The heat that we feel from sunlight, a fire, a radiator or a warm sidewalk is infrared. The temperature-sensitive nerve endings in our skin can detect the difference between inside body temperature and outside skin temperature

Humans, at normal body temperature, radiate most strongly in the infrared at a wavelength of about 10 microns - a micron is the term commonly used in astronomy for a micrometre or one millionth of a meter – see further above

The electromagnetic spectrum is the range of all possible frequencies of electromagnetic radiation. The “electromagnetic spectrum” of an object has a different meaning, and is instead the characteristic distribution of electromagnetic radiation emitted or absorbed by that particular object.

The electromagnetic spectrum extends from below the low frequencies used for modern radio communication to gamma radiation at the short-wavelength (high-frequency) end, thereby covering wavelengths from thousands of kilometres down to a fraction of the size of an atom.

The limit for long wavelengths is the size of the universe itself, while it is thought that the short wavelength limit is in the vicinity of the Planck length. Until the middle of last century it was believed by most physicists that this spectrum was infinite and continuous.

The term “infrared” refers to a broad range of frequencies, beginning at the top end of those frequencies used for communication and extending up the low frequency (red) end of the visible spectrum.

The wavelength range is from about 1 millimetre down to 750 nm. The range adjacent to the visible spectrum is called the “near infrared” and the longer wavelength part is called “far infrared”

In interactions with matter, infrared primarily acts to set molecules into vibration. Infrared spectrometers are widely used to study the vibrational spectra of molecules.

“IR light is absorbed by human tissues in the same way plants feed on the sun’s energy” in 1923, a Russian biologist named Gurwitsch discovered that infrared energy is one of the ways in which our cells communicate with each other through a process known as biological induction.

In the 1950s, German scientists confirmed his findings. They discovered as well that IR light is absorbed by human tissues in the same way plants feed on the sun’s energy during photosynthesis.

Infrared stimulates repair, relieves pain and encourages healing to areas deep enough in the body

IR wavelengths stimulate cell metabolism in ways which go far beyond what we might expect from an energy which penetrates the human body. They bring about improvements in digestion, increased energy levels, and create heightened resistance to illness.

How it works: Your body reacts to all kinds of heat by cooling itself. It shunts blood from internal organs towards the outside—into limbs and muscles.

This increases your heart rate in the same way that running or rowing can.

It also increases metabolic rate as well as the rate at which blood pumped by the heart flows through the body.

This phenomenon is but one of many deep acting benefits gleaned by regularly exposing skin to IR light. It also stimulates repair, relieves pain and encourages healing to areas deep enough in the body that they lie far beyond the level to which it appears to penetrate the body’s surface.

So natural is IR radiation, and so welcome are the effects it exerts on living systems, that it may come as no surprise that your body not only welcomes its energy; your body actually generate infrared radiation in its own tissues.

Every living body continuously radiates IR energy through the surface of the skin at between 3 and 50 microns, with most of its output hovering around 9.4 microns (see the beginning of Part 4a).

A healthy young body sends out a lot of infrared power.

An ailing body, or one which has lost some of its vitality as a result of high toxicity or degeneration, loses much of its ability to emit IR waves.

The palms of your hands emit IR energy somewhere between 8 and 14 microns (see the beginning of Part 4a)

Researchers have measured and recorded IR radiation from the hands of natural healers, body workers and talented beauty therapists.

Many believe that an increase in the level of infrared radiating from a gifted healer’s palms as he works is the major source of the warming phenomenon which healer and healed report during treatment.

Many IR researchers insist that IR radiation is selectively absorbed by the tissues which have the greatest need for it.

“Palm Healing”, an ancient tradition in China, has used the healing properties of far infrared rays for 3,000 years. Far Infrared rays gently heal, soothe, stimulate and detox the physical body, as well as the mind.

Far Infrared Rays are invisible waves of energy that have the ability to penetrate all layers of the human physical body, penetrating into the inner-most regions of the tissues, muscles and bone.

Far Infrared radiation very gently increases blood flow by expanding the capillaries that carry blood. It also increases oxygenation and regeneration of the blood, deeply detoxifying it for the improved functioning of all of the major organs in the body, which depend on blood for energy. This detoxification is on the deepest level, allowing hidden toxins in the blood and tissue to be dissolved or immobilized. When we slightly induce a very small temperature increase, we can enhance our body’s functioning on multiple levels. Our hands, bodies and the sun emit FIR energy at all times.

Through the subtle heating, Far Infrared boosts our immune system, increasing the amount of white blood cells and killer T-cells.

FIR is excellent for promoting healing, reducing muscle soreness, muscle spasms and relief for rheumatoid arthritis. Research by NASA has shown that far infrared on the cardiovascular system was a great way of keeping astronauts hearts’ in optimal condition.

Far Infrared can also increase the processing enzyme activity in our digestive tract, as well as boost metabolism.

The rejuvenating effects of Far Infrared has been shown to help heal scar tissue such as burn scars, acne scars and other forms of dermatological scarring.

Natural healers emit energy and heat radiating from their hands to heal, much the same as Reiki healers do.

Recent research conducted in Taiwan has measured significant far infrared energy emitted from the hands of Chi Gong masters.

Yogis in India also employ palm healing and recommend it especially for relieving eye strain.

Thermal therapy has in fact been in existence for thousands of years, dating back to ancient civilizations such as the Finns, the Romans, the ancient Chinese and the American Indians.

Part 4b

According to quantum mechanical theory, light energy is composed of photons or discrete packets of electromagnetic energy. The energy of an individual photon depends only on the wavelength.

Therefore, the energy of a “dose” of light depends only on the number of photons and on their wavelength or colour (blue photons have more energy than green photons that have more energy than red, that have more energy than NIR, etc.).

Photons that are delivered into living tissue can either be absorbed or scattered. Scattered photons will eventually be absorbed or will escape from the tissue in the form of diffuse reflection. The photons that are absorbed interact with an organic molecule or chromophore located within the tissue.

Because these photons have wavelengths in the red or NIR regions of the spectrum, the chromophores that absorb these photons tend to have delocalized electrons in molecular orbitals that can be excited from the ground state to the first excited state by the quantum of energy delivered by the photon.

According to the first law of thermodynamics, the energy delivered to the tissue must be conserved, and three possible pathways exist to account for what happens to the delivered light energy when low level laser therapy is delivered into tissue.

The commonest pathway that occurs when light is absorbed by living tissue is called internal conversion.

This happens when the first excited singlet state of the chromophore undergoes a transition from a higher to a lower electronic state.

It is sometimes called “radiationless de-excitation”, because no photons are emitted.

It differs from intersystem crossing in that, while both are radiationless methods of de-excitation, the molecular spin state for internal conversion remains the same, whereas it changes for intersystem crossing.

The energy of the electronically excited state is given off to vibrational modes of the molecule, in other words, the excitation energy is transformed into heat.

The second pathway that can occur is fluorescence. Fluorescence is a luminescence or re-emission of light, in which the molecular absorption of a photon triggers the emission of another photon with a longer wavelength.

The energy difference between the absorbed and emitted photons ends up as molecular vibrations or heat. The wavelengths involved depend on the absorbance curve and Stokes shift of the particular fluorophore.

The third pathway that can occur after the absorption of light by a tissue chromophore represents a number of processes broadly grouped under an umbrella category of photochemistry.

Because of the energy of the photons involved, covalent bonds cannot be broken. However, the energy is sufficient for the first excited singlet state to be formed, and this can undergo intersystem crossing to the long-lived triplet state of the chromophore.

The long life of this species allows reactions to occur, such as energy transfer to ground state molecular oxygen (a triplet) to form the reactive species, singlet oxygen.

Alternatively the chromophore triplet state may undergo electron transfer (probably reduction) to form the radical anion that can then transfer an electron to oxygen to form superoxide. Electron transfer reactions are highly important in the mitochondrial respiratory chain, where the principal chromophores involved, in laser therapy for example, are thought to be situated.

A third photochemistry pathway that can occur after the absorption of a red or NIR photon is the dissociation of a non-covalently bound ligand from a binding site on a metal containing cofactor in an enzyme. The most likely candidate for this pathway is the binding of nitric oxide to the iron-containing and copper-containing redox centres in unit IV of the mitochondrial respiratory chain, known as cytochrome c oxidase
