Science is increasingly showing what ancient wisdom has long suggested: the human body is not just a biochemical system — it’s also an energetic one. Every one of our trillions of cells emits measurable electromagnetic signals, creating a biofield around us that reflects our health and well-being.
Studies in biofield science suggest that when this cellular frequency is coherent and resilient, our bodies are better able to self-regulate, repair, and thrive. When it becomes dysregulated or depleted, we’re more vulnerable to illness. In fact, research in psychoneuroimmunology confirms that chronic stress, unresolved trauma, and negative emotional states can suppress immune function, increase inflammation, and disrupt the body’s natural rhythms of healing.

So the question becomes: How can we elevate our frequency to support healing and vitality?
The Role of Beliefs and Cellular Health
Cellular biologist Dr. Bruce Lipton has shown through his work on epigenetics that our beliefs, perceptions, and environment can literally alter gene expression and cellular behavior. Instead of being hardwired, our biology is fluid and responsive.
Negative patterns — such as limiting beliefs, unresolved traumas, or chronic self-criticism — can act like “static” in our biofield. Lipton explains that these patterns rigidify the cell membranes, which are the gateways for nutrients and communication signals. A rigid membrane means less flow, less nourishment, and a slower cellular vibration. Over time, this stagnation contributes to physical symptoms and disease.
On the other hand, when we release and integrate these patterns, the membranes become more flexible and permeable, allowing higher-quality energy and nourishment to flow through. This translates into a more vibrant cellular frequency — one that supports resilience, vitality, and well-being.
Trauma, the Nervous System, and Vibrational Patterns
Neuroscience and somatic psychology show us that memories, emotions, and traumas are not just “mental” experiences — they are stored in the nervous system and tissues of the body. If they remain unresolved, they continually shape how our physiology functions, often keeping us stuck in cycles of stress, pain, or fatigue.
These unresolved patterns act as dense, lower-frequency imprints. That’s why you may have noticed that when you’re caught in worry, grief, or anger, your body feels heavy, drained, or even sick. In contrast, states of joy, compassion, and gratitude bring lightness, coherence, and measurable benefits for the immune and cardiovascular systems.
Nervous System Regulation and Frequency Shifts
This is where Somatic Experiencing (SE), a body-based approach to trauma resolution and nervous system regulation, can help. SE gently guides the body in completing survival responses (like fight, flight, or freeze) that may have been left unfinished during past overwhelming experiences.
By supporting the nervous system to discharge stored survival energy and find greater balance between activation and rest, SE helps:
-
Reduce chronic tension and stress patterns.
-
Restore natural rhythms of regulation in the autonomic nervous system.
-
Free up energy that was previously “stuck” in protective responses.
-
Enhance cellular communication and resilience.
When the nervous system is regulated, the body shifts from survival mode into repair, growth, and restoration. This coherence resonates all the way down to the cellular level, allowing frequency to rise into states that support healing, health and vitality.
The Takeaway
Your body is not static, it’s a dynamic, living system constantly in conversation with your beliefs, your environment, and your emotional state. By tending to unresolved patterns in the nervous system and cultivating practices that elevate our frequency, we support the body’s innate ability to heal.
Somatic Experiencing is not about erasing the past, it’s about helping the nervous system remember how to move fluidly between activation and rest, safety and vitality. In doing so, it supports a cellular frequency that promotes resilience, coherence, and thriving.
When your nervous system is regulated and your cells are vibrating with coherence, you don’t just survive: You THRIVE!
