Orgonite is a substance made of resin, metals and quartz that balances and harmonizes bio-energy, otherwise known as orgone, chi or prana.

Dr Wilhelm Reich, an Austrian psychiatrist, researched orgone energy  in the earlier half of the 20th century, and today’s orgonite devices are built on his findings.  While conducting his research, Dr. Reich found that organic materials attract and hold orgone energy, while non-organic metals simultaneously attract  and repel the energy.

Orgonite is based on these two principles. It is a 50-50 mix of resin (organic, due to the fact that it is based on petrochemicals), and metal shavings (inorganic).  A quartz crystal is also added inside the orgonite matrix.  Energy which is out of balance is absorbed into the orgonite by the metal-resin mix, and brought back to a healthy, vibrant state by the embedded crystal.

 

 

What are the benefits of orgonite?

The effects of orgonite differ from person to person. Some feel the energy straight away (usually as a tingling or warm sensation) while for others the effects are cumulative. The most commonly reported effects of orgonite are:

• Better sleep and vivid dreams
• More energy
• Balanced moods
• Decreased sensitivity to EMFs
• Spiritual and psychological growth
• Increased resistance to illness (orgonite should never be used as a substitute for professional medical care)

What are some uses for orgonite?

Most people use orgonite to balance and strengthen their energetic field, and to help provide protection against EMFs (Electromagnetic Frequencies). You can also use it to:
• Deepen meditation
• Boost plant growth
• Remove negative energy in a specific place
• Strengthen intentions and visualizations

 

Orgone, chi, life-force, prana – subtle energies

When Wilhelm Reich discovered the existence of orgone energy in the 1930s, he said that he had discovered a cosmic life energy – an omnipresent energy too subtle to be measured with everyday instruments.

Reich’s idea of orgone is not new. Most esoteric and metaphysical teachings have emphasized the idea of subtle energies that are found everywhere – from the human body to the air around us – the building blocks of all life on earth. Reich termed it orgone, in Traditional Chinese medicine it is termed Qi, in Ayurveda and tantra it is called prana. Many alternative healing methods, such as Reiki and Quantum Healing Hypnosis, make use of subtle energies in order to heal imbalances in the body.

Here are the basic properties of orgone energy according to Wilhelm Reich:

• Organic materials attracted and held orgone energy.
• Non-Organic metal materials attracted and then rapidly repelled it.
• It fills all space and is everywhere.
• It’s mass free and is the primordial, cosmic energy.
• It penetrates matter, but at different speeds.
• It pulsates and is observable and measurable.
• It has a strong affinity and attraction to/by water.
• It is accumulated naturally in the living organism by ingesting foods, breathing, and through the skin.

Balanced vs Unbalanced Orgone Energy

Orgone can exist in a healthy form and in a stagnant, dangerous form. In the orgonite community, we differentiate between POR (positive orgone) and DOR (deadly orgone). DOR is also what is known as “stagnant qi” in Feng Shui traditions. Most natural environments which have been untouched by pollution are charged with balanced, harmonious energy. Most notably, waterfalls, mountaintops and green forests – many of us feel a positive difference when in these environments – the air is cleaner, they are beautiful – but there is also an excess of positive orgone energy.

Stagnant energy is more often than not caused by modern technologies that emit EMF and pollute our environment – for example mobile phone masts and microwaves. Everyone has different ranges of sensitivity  – some people find themselves profoundly negatively affected, and orgonite is a blessing for these people. Being surrounded by stagnant orgone can lead to ill health – and it is very possible that the increase of chronic, incurable diseases we are seeing are caused by the lack of balanced energy in our habitats.

Orgone in the human body

We need orgone for our survival, and energy blockages often cause serious illnesses. Orgone runs through our bodies, and different teachings have mapped out different paths along which it runs. Acupuncture is based on the meridian system taught in Traditional Chinese medicine. When your body is healthy, energy runs unobstructed through these meridians, but blockages in the meridian can cause illness. Acupuncture and acupressure are thought to stimulate the meridians and work to heal the blockages.

The chakra system works in a similar way. In this case, our seven major chakras are vortexes of energy. Each chakra deals has a different function, and if there are any blockages in energy flow in our chakras, this can also result in psychological and psychological symptoms like disease or mental complexes.

Apart from keeping orgonite around you, exercises like Qi Gong, yoga, energy healing, crystal healing and some forms of meditation are good ways to keep a healthy flow of POR in your body, which leads to a healthier and happier body. Our subtle energy systems are also affected by the food we eat, the way we breathe (breathing is one major intake of orgone energy), and even the thoughts we think.

 

Orgonite and Consciousness

Subtle energy is thought to have an intelligence of its own. This is why orgonite affects people in different ways – the function of orgonite is an invigorating and balancing one, but this may manifest differently according to the individual’s needs – you don’t need to tell orgonite what to do! Although it can also be rewarding to actively work with the orgonite energies.

We can use our consciousness to interact with orgonite and orgone energy. “Mind over matter” – orgone is the building block of our material reality, and we can use our thoughts and emotions to interact with it and shape our material worlds with it.

 

How to Use Orgonite with Feng Shui

Feng Shui is an art that was developed in China over 3000 years ago.  Feng means wind, and shui means water.  Wind and water are associated with good health and fortune in Chinese culture.  Feng Shui is a body of knowledge that reveals the ways in which to balance the energies of a space in order to bring good fortune into your life.  Feng Shui has gained a lot of popularity in the West, and orgonite gives us another tool with which to apply Feng Shui principles.

First of all, simply placing orgonite in your home will do a lot to balance the energies and the energy flow inside it.  However, we can also place orgonite strategically in order to further improve the energy flow.

If you have an area of your house that feels “off”, place orgonite in this area in order to improve its energy.  If being in a certain area of your house makes you feel tired and lethargic, this is the first place you should put orgonite.

Electrical appliances can create chaotic energy.  Place orgonite next to or on top of devices such as computers, refrigerators, clock radios, televisions and cordless phones.

For maximum effectiveness, make sure that your orgonite pieces are distributed as evenly as possible in your home. A popular practice is to grid all four corners of a room or a house with orgonite, ensuring maximum coverage.
