Episode 1: Examining Biofield Science

In the premiere episode of Beyond, Jean-Claude Bastos explores biofield science — the emerging study of subtle energy fields believed to surround and permeate living organisms.

Often described as a multi-layered, organizing field that interacts with biological systems, the biofield has been discussed in modern research as a potential factor in healing, diagnostics, and preventative health. While not yet fully integrated into conventional scientific frameworks, the concept continues to attract interdisciplinary interest.

Across cultures and centuries, similar ideas have existed under different names — aura, prana, qi, and ki — suggesting that ancient traditions may have been observing phenomena only now being revisited through contemporary tools and theory.

This episode examines the intersection between measurable data and experiential knowledge, asking what happens when long-held wisdom meets emerging research.

Between instruments and intuition, something subtle may be at work.

This is Beyond.
