Orgonite - A Negative Ion Generator

Orgonite - A Negative Ion Generator


Orgonite – The negative ion generator
For a long time now I have had a strong suspicion that many of the beneficial effects of orgonite are due to the fact that orgonite creates negative ions.  The anecdotes I have heard about orgonite and negative ions make sense, so I decided to hunt around for some evidence that orgonite creates an abundance of negative ions.
First of all, a little bit of information about negative ions:
Ions are molecules that have either gained or lost electrons.  This causes them to have a positive or a negative charge.  Negative ions have one or more extra electrons, which gives them a negative charge, whereas positive ions are missing one or more electrons, making them positively charged.
You’d think that positive ions would be better for us than negative ions, but that’s not the case – it’s actually the opposite.
           
The Benefits of Negative Ions
  • When we inhale negative ions, they produce a biochemical reaction in our body that makes our brain increase its serotonin levels. Serotonin is the neurotransmitter which is responsible for alleviating stress and depression, and promoting a feeling of well-being.
  • Negative ions clean the air. A study by the US department of Agriculture found that ionising a room led to 52% less dust and 95% less bacteria in the air. This is because negative ions are attracted to floating particles in the air, and when they fuse they become too heavy to stay airborne, meaning that those particles can now be swept or vacuumed off the floor.
  • Negative ions have been shown to improve high blood pressure, asthma and hay fever.
  • Negative ions increase the flow of oxygen to the brain, making us feel more alert and giving us more mental energy.
  • Research done at Columbia University showed that people who suffered from SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) and chronic depression experienced just as much relief from negative ion generators as they did with prescription antidepressants, but without the notorious side effects of antidepressant medication.
  • The metabolic processes that occur in our cells are boosted by negative ions, making our cells more efficient at absorbing nutrients and expelling toxins.
  • Although plants do naturally generate negative ions, there is a fair amount of research that suggests that using negative ion generators helps plants grow faster.
These positive effects are very similar to the effects of orgonite!
Waterfalls generate negative ions
On the other side of the scale, we have positive ions.  Studies have shown that an excess of positive ions can be very damaging to our bodies and minds.  Psychiatrists have found that people who suffer from neuroses are more likely to have psychotic breakdowns when the positive ion index is high than at any other time.
Crime levels increase, as do suicide attempts and car accidents.  Even schools are affected – an analysis of the records of 2000 public school students showed that their conduct was noticeably poorer right before  storm (a time when positive ions greatly outnumber negative ions).
Positive ions can even lead to headaches and nausea, decreased wound healing speed and increased infection rates.  In fact, many European hospitals are required to have negative ion generators.
So, how do we immerse our environments with negative ions? Negative ions are found in abundance in nature, especially by the seaside and by waterfalls.  In urban areas, the levels are much lower, due to pollution and technological appliances, two things which create positive ions.
There are however a few man-made ways to create negative ions.  There are many negative ion generators on the market, ranging from the very complex to the very simple. There is also orgonite, the DIY negative ion generator.

Orgonite – A Negative Ion Generator

While it isn’t clear how orgonite creates negative ions, the effects of orgonite are very similar to the effects of negative ions.  Many orgonite users who know what ionised environments feel like will swear that orgonite creates the same atmosphere.

Orgonite Ingredients

An introduction to Orgonite An orgone device, or “orgonite” is a device which converts stagnant  orgone energy  (DOR) to positive, healthy orgone energy (POR). Orgonite contains a 50-50 ratio of organic and inorganic material. It also contains at least one quartz crystal, and often additional crystals. Organic material  – The most commonly used material, and the material I use in my orgone devices, is polyester resin. It is classified as an organic material because it is composed from petrochemicals. Organic materials attract and hold orgone energy. Inorganic material  – Metal shavings are used, often aluminium or copper as they are widely available. The higher the surface area is, i.e. the smaller the shavings, the more effective the orgonite is. Metals attract, then immediately repel orgone energy. Because the organic material attracts and holds orgone energy, and the metal repels it, a “scrubbing” action takes place, where the stagnant energy is being...

A History of Orgonite

A History of Orgonite Wilhelm Reich and Orgone Energy Wilhelm Reich Orgone is simply another word for what is also known as “Qi”, “Prana”, “Ether” and “Akasha”.  The existence of a  universal life-force energy  which permeates all of nature has long been accepted with little questioning, even in scientific circles, until the 19th century when scientists sought to disprove its existence.  However, breakthroughs in the 20 th  and 21 st  century led by a few pioneers have rekindled interest in experimentation with life-force energy.  One of these pioneers was Dr Wilhelm Reich. Dr Wilhelm Reich  (1897 – 1957) was the Austrian psychiatrist who first coined the term  orgone , and his research into orgone energy has paved the way for others. Reich used a galvanometer to discover that our skin has a charge when we are in pleasurable situations, and he initially called this phenomenon  bioelectric energy .  Later on, he di...

Orgonite and EMF

Orgonite and EMF The Hazards of Electromagnetic Frequencies Lately, concern about the potential harmful effects of  EMFs  (electromagnetic frequencies) has increased.  Although many health agencies still dismiss the risks as minor, there has been a lot of research that shows differently.  For example: In 1976, a study showed that the offspring of mice that were exposed to low-frequency EMR (electromagnetic radiation) from power lines were born stunted. Several researchers have shown connections between over-exposure to EMR and cancer. For example, in 1982, it was noted by a researcher that there were more leukemia-related deaths in men who worked close to electrical and magnetic fields. A 1987 study found that rats which were exposed to EMFs for a month found it harder to learn a new task than the control group. The rats’ offspring that were exposed to EMR in the womb and for nine days after birth developed permanent learning diabilities. Researchers in ...
