Subtlety Can Be Strength
Ayurveda describes numerous avenues of healing. Methods like herbs, diet, exercise, stress reduction, and detoxification are now backed by modern science and have been used for thousands of years. While these therapies are extremely important in eliciting the body’s natural healing abilities, the real power of Ayurveda is within the most subtle aspects of it. What I have come to know over the past 40 years is that in Ayurveda, the more subtle something is, the more powerful it is.
Consider the microbiome, for example. Billions of bacteria that we cannot see govern our immunity, mood, thoughts, cravings, metabolic health, and inflammation… there is not much about us that these very subtle and invisible bacteria are not involved in. Similarly important is the link between our biological clocks and nature’s circadian rhythms. We cannot see these rhythms, but we are rigidly dependent on them. So are the millions of animal migration patterns we see here on Earth. Just another example of how things so subtle and invisible can be powerful governors of our health.
The Subtle Power of Quantum Entanglement
The world of quantum physics takes us on a deeper dive into the subtle. We will soon see the power of quantum subtlety demonstrated in the mainstream use of quantum computing and quantum entanglement in medicine… so, let’s dig in to understand this concept better.
What Is Quantum Entanglement?
Quantum entanglement is a mind-boggling concept that seems almost magical at first. However, it’s actually a real and tested phenomenon that scientists study to understand the strange behavior of particles on a quantum level.
Quantum entanglement describes a connection between two or more sub-atomic particles that allows them to influence each other instantaneously, no matter how far apart they are. Imagine you have two particles—let’s call them “Jack” and “Jill”—that become entangled. If something happens to particle Jack, particle Jill will immediately be affected, even if they are light-years apart. This might sound impossible because we have been taught that nothing travels faster than the speed of light. But in the quantum world, particles don’t follow the usual rules that we’re familiar with. Entanglement allows them to “communicate” in ways that defy classical physics.

The Physics Behind Quantum Entanglement
The story begins with the strange behavior of subatomic electrons and photons (particles of light). These particles don’t have definite properties until they’re measured or observed. Instead, they exist in a state of probability, where their properties (such as position or spin) are not set until you check them.
When two particles interact in such a way that their properties become linked, they become entangled. Even if the particles are separated by vast distances, measuring or observing the property of one particle (such as its spin) will instantly tell you something about the other particle. This connection happens no matter how far apart the particles are, even if they’re on opposite sides of the universe.
The first experiment that illustrated this is the “EPR Paradox,” named after physicists Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen. In 1935, they proposed a scenario where two entangled particles could instantly affect each other’s state, suggesting that entanglement (or “spooky action at a distance” as Einstein called it) might be at play. Einstein was skeptical of this idea because it broke the rule that nothing can travel faster than light.
Experiments over the past few decades have shown that quantum entanglement is real. In 1964, physicist John Bell developed what’s known as Bell’s Theorem when he replicated entanglement experiments, as did Alain Aspect in the 1980s. It is real, but what do we do about it?
Applications of Quantum Entanglement
Quantum entanglement as a part of quantum computing will open many doors for the future of technology. First, entangled particles could be used to perform complex calculations much faster than current classical computers. It could also be used to create ultra-secure communication systems, where any attempt to eavesdrop would alter the state of the entangled particles and reveal the presence of the intruder.
Entanglement could also lead to more precise MRI and PET scan imaging far beyond the scope of the current medical scanning technology of today. Someday, we may all be wearing quantum health monitoring devices that can perceive even the earliest signs of imbalance that can be treated with drugs that can treat imbalances at a molecular level without unwanted side effects.
The biggest mystery of quantum entanglement lies in how the particles “know” what happens to the other particles. Since the effects happen faster than the speed of light, it seems as though information is being transmitted instantaneously. Some researchers even believe entanglement could be a clue to a deeper, as-yet-unknown theory of physics… one which could unify the forces of nature, including gravity.
Enter Quantum Ayurveda
According to Ayurveda, the cause of disease is called pragya paradh, which translates to “mistake of the intellect.” The body’s mistake is when the cells lose the memory of how to function as one whole unit. Instead, they begin to function as independent parts. The glue that holds the intelligence of functional unity together is found in the quantum fields.
Today, quantum physics agrees that the quantum fields that underlie all of creation are intelligent.
Both Einstein and Max Plank (the father of quantum theory) recognized this back in the 1930’s. Today, many physicists are suggesting that these intelligent fields are, in fact, in consciousness… the life-giving spark that underlies everything! Pragya paradh suggests that disease happens is when cellular physiology begins to function independently of the underlying field of consciousness.
The treatment for this was simple in theory: restore the memory of pure consciousness into the cells that have lost their way. Traditionally in Ayurveda, this was done by enhancing the self-awareness of one’s own consciousness. This could be through yoga, breathing, meditation, selfless service, and other techniques that would still the mind. Stilling the mind helps us access a natural awareness of the field of consciousness that acts as a silent witness to your thoughts, breath, and actions.

Stilling the Mind to Heal the Body
The mind is often too busy thinking and the mouth is too busy speaking. They get in the way of us having proper self-awareness of this underlying field of intelligence. Once the mind is trained to experience itself as the silent thinker of the thoughts and the doer of the deeds, the memory of pure consciousness can be restored at a cellular level. Then, healing can begin. The awareness of consciousness reconnects the parts to the whole. As a result, the body starts to function as one unit with a restored memory and experience of consciousness.
It is said in Ayurveda that this healing process is initiated at the junction point between consciousness and matter, or the gap between the quantum fields and the body’s physiology. Let’s think this through. When the quantum field of consciousness morphs into matter, there has to be a place where this transition occurs. That place must be something that can exist as both a quantum field and an actual manifested particle at the same time. How? Entanglement offers us the answer. Wave-particle duality is when photons can exist as particles, waveforms, or frequencies of light, suggesting that photons are active at the junction point between consciousness and matter–where quantum waves and material existence meet.
Enter Biophotons: Ultra-Weak Photon Emissions
The DNA of the body is releasing thousands of biophotons every minute. These biophotons have been identified as information-carrying particles of light within the body. Research is now suggesting that even our thoughts are carried by these photons of light, enabling us to think as fast as we do.
Many of the biophotons emitted from the body are incoherent because they are the result of damage and repair of the body’s DNA. But studies have shown that through yoga, breathing, meditation, acupuncture, and other methods, the biophotons can become more coherent. These coherent biophotons function as waves, instead of the more incoherent particles. The waveform is thought to be able to carry not only information but our intentions as well. This is evidenced by a process called the Bókkon phenomenon.

Biophoton theory suggests that during a mediation or prayer session, the photon emissions become more coherent and move into a wave state. As waves, they may then be more effectively able to pick up and carry the intention one may be having during that meditation or prayer. When they manifest into particles, they begin “brewing” the building blocks of the body. However, once they are particles instead of waves, they are more likely to become dense and incoherent (less able to carry information). As particles, they are more likely to become damaging to the body.
Healing and Enlightenment at the Subatomic Level
Quantum healing and Vedic healing help us restore coherent waveform photon emissions back into the body. This is also restoring the memory of pure consciousness (wave form dynamics) into the density or particle dynamics of the body caused by excessive incoherent ultraweak photon emissions and DNA damage.
Since photons are not confined to staying within the human body, these intention-carrying biophotons could travel at great distances. And, through the process of entanglement, they could elicit a healing response even at a distance.
In the world of quantum entanglement, how can an entangled photon of light functioning as a waveform emerging from a field of consciousness initiate healing, even at a distance? Basically, it could alter the spin of an entangled biophoton that is carrying information or intention within your body instantaneously to someone else’s body—yes, even faster than the speed of light!
When photons are observed or measured, which could be in the form of an intention or focused self-awareness, they change from functioning as a particle back into a more coherent and potentially healing waveform. This, by definition, is happening at that subtle junction between the body as a quantum field and the first physiological manifestation as a particle. Here is where quantum healing begins, according to pragya paradh. This provides us insight into healing at the root of the cause of all disease.
While entanglement is an emerging concept in quantum theory, the idea was described thousands of years ago in the Vedic literature. They understood that everything is consciousness at its core, and that at that level, we are all connected. It is light or photon emissions that are the underlying mechanism for self-healing, distance healing, telepathy, and even enlightenment!
