THIS EPISODE OF GROWING OLDER LIVING YOUNGER focuses on the enigmatic world of scalar energy, a force explored by Nikola Tesla in the 1800’s, yet remains outside the realm of mainstream physics or conventional healthcare today. We will explore origins and claims about the diverse array of applications of this force.  My guest expert on scalar energy,Tom Paladino, is on a personal mission to make a difference in the world by providing people with the education and tools to restore optimum health and enhance their quality of life. Tom's thesis is that scalar energy or scalar light works with the quantum field, the consciousness of the universe, to activate humanity's own innate healing ability. Tom describes that working through a person's photograph, scalar energy has the power to break down molecular bonds of pathogens, bacteria, fungi, and much more in the body. Tom has scalar energy programs for anti aging, hormones, nutrition, balancing chakras, removing toxins, deepening spirituality, improving cognitive function, and overall well being. In response to my scepticism about this energy force operating through a photograph, I asked Tom to help me understand not only that it works but how it works. Episode Timeline    0:11 Intro to scalar energy and its effects on health and well-being.   4:06 Scalar energy and its applications. 15:02. Energy healing and its effects on the brain and emotions.  20:18 Energy transformation and skepticism 26:55 Scalar Energy and Aging.
