The foundation for this new style of acupuncture is the notion that energy, called Qi or Ki in the Orient, contains not only intensity, but also, information. It is like a television signal. The signal contains intensity that determines how far the signal will reach, but the information in the signal is what gives you the sound and picture. The intensity of the signal reaches you even if you don't have a television set, but you must have a set tuned to the proper station to perceive the information. In the same way, with the proper tuning the information in Qi can be perceived and that information contains everything necessary to restore the natural balance in human beings. The Qi information tells the practitioner what is wrong and how to fix it.

Everything in the universe consists of Qi including the human body and energetic bodies. The Qi of the physical body is in a very dense form and our senses are designed to readily perceive information at this level. In fact, the TCM approach is to “read” this physical information. The Qi of the etheric body is more subtle and the Qi of the astral and causal bodies are even more subtle. The information in subtle Qi is more difficult to perceive. The Vibratory approach is to read this subtle information.

The denser and subtler forms of Qi in the human energy field are completely interconnected, exchanging information with each other and with the even more subtle forms of cosmic Qi. The energetic bodies are like a mold into which the dense physical matter is poured. The information in the subtle Qi forms the mold and dominates the denser manifestation of Qi that is the physical body. If the mold is distorted then the physical body that is cast will also be distorted and will experience discomfort and disease. All physical ailments have corresponding information coded in the subtle Qi. This coding is the cause rather than the effect of the ailment, and ailments must be dealt with at the subtlest level of their existence for lasting effects.

All Qi has a dynamic nature. This dynamic nature of Qi is easily seen in glass “lightning spheres” that have electric bolts moving from the center to the glass outside. The bolts of energy move between the center and certain points on the glass. There are main bolts with many smaller bolts branching from them. The shapes of the bolts change from moment to moment. When you touch the sphere with your finger, the energy instantly moves to interact with your energy. It constantly changes, yet there is an overall pattern that can be discerned. The Qi in the body is similar. It travels through general pathways in the subtle bodies, but constantly moves and changes in response to the energetic information it receives from the external world. When the external energy has too great of an impact, disharmony results.
