The essence of the Kirlian effect (aka kirlian effect, Kirlian aura, etc.) is reduced to a corona discharge halo around various objects, living and not very (if only conducting current), placed in an alternating electric field of high amplitude and frequency. Some believe that the picture of this discharge can, for example, be used to diagnose the state of the body (if a person is exposed to it). We don't believe in these witchcraft things, and we use the effect to get spectacular pictures.
To avoid fiddling with photographic paper and other prehistoric accessories, I stole the design principle transparent electrode for the Kirlian effectand someone from the first pages of Google, I don't even remember exactly who. The bottom line is this: we use two glasses as a conducting plate, between which salted water is poured, which is a good conductor. Water creates an electric field, and glass serves as an insulator, preventing breakdown and creating a corona discharge. Along the edge of the glass (taken from the usual Soviet mezzanine), aluminum tape is glued for a more uniform discharge pattern - in the pictures taken without it, there was a distinct bias of the "aura" towards the power supply connection. By the way, it acts as this power source.
It does not allow you to adjust either the frequency or the power, by the way, its power is excessive - for example, it will not be possible to remove the hand, since the glass beats strongly with current. But we don't really need it, because apart from beautiful pictures, nothing is required from the Kirlian effect.
The glass is placed on a stand (I have taken a plastic container, but it would be much, much more convenient to use a couple of stools so that you do not have to move the glass plates every time to take pictures), and a camera is placed under the glass that captures the corona discharge aura from below, that is, the Kirlian itself -Effect.
It is best to use objects with a complex edge or relief for shooting. Maple / oak leaves, metal chains and the like are ideal. On them, the effect is manifested most effectively and best of all.
Photographing leaves using the Kirlian method
When photographing by the Kirlian method, the object is placed between the capacitor plates, which are made of plexiglass. In a high-frequency field, the object between the plates acquires a special type of electrical conductivity, the so-called capacitive conductivity. An electric charge appears in it, which does not move, as in metals, but, on the contrary, is held at the same points where it arises, causing a glow of different brightness, corresponding to the conductivity of the placed object. The glow is visible visually. A photographic plate is placed at the back by a contact method. The images are taken in full size. In other words, photography of sedentary biological objects is carried out “in the environment of lightning”. External view of the Kirlian installation. Since the photographed object must be placed in the gap between the plates, and this is a slit of less than 0.5 mm, it can be concluded from this fact that there are no photographs of a person obtained by the Kirlian method, but all drawings of the "aura" around the human body published on the Internet - nothing more than the speculation of programmers developing software to the method of gas-discharge visualization.
Photo of a finger in a high-frequency electric field
Photo of a finger in a high frequency field
The photographing process takes place in a dark room or under red light. An undeveloped photographic paper is placed on the device that creates a high-frequency field. The object of interest is installed on top. It could be a leaf from a tree. When a high voltage is applied, a gas discharge occurs, which manifests itself in the form of a glow around the object - a corona discharge, which illuminates black-and-white or colored photographic paper or film. After developing black and white photographic paper, the brightest areas become dark, as can be seen in the photograph. Since the finger of the hand touched the photographic paper (circle in the center), this area remains unlit.
Discovery history
The effect of electrography (as the inventor called it) was discovered in 1891 by the Belarusian scientist Ya. O. Narkevich-Yodko. However, his invention was not widely known and was undeservedly forgotten for 30-40 years.
“Several better position turned out to be the famous scientist and inventor Nikola Tesla. He designed his own device - the now well-known Tesla transformer. Using a transformer, Tesla demonstrated in his lectures glowing in high-frequency currents of his body. " At the beginning of the 20th century, Tesla's experiments became famous in scientific circles. "And the matter was simple - the photographs of the discharges taken by Tesla were obtained not by direct exposure of the photographic emulsion by these discharges, as in the experiments of Ya. O. Narkevich-Yodko, but by ordinary photography."
In 1949, the Soviet inventor SD Kirlian received an inventor's certificate for the method of "high-frequency photography" with the help of Tesla's resonance transformer, which he improved. As a result of many years of experiments by S. D. Kirlian and his wife V. Kh. Kirlian, a large amount of scientific material was accumulated and a number of devices for "high-frequency" photography were created.
The discoverer of electrography was undoubtedly Ya. O. Narkevich-Yodko. But the contribution to its development made by S. D. Kirlian and V. Kh. Kirlian is quite weighty, and therefore "high-frequency" images are now called Kirlian images all over the world. "
Using the effect
The Kirlian effect is used to find hidden defects in metals. According to Kirlian, in agriculture, using the effect, it is possible to check the germination of seeds, to distinguish diseased plants from healthy ones, but there is no information about the actual use of the effect for these purposes.
The Kirlian effect has been successfully used for express analysis of ore samples in geology.

One of the main differences between alternative and traditional medicine is the belief of those practicing alternative medicine that the body has a system of energy flows that resemble the blood supply through the arteries or the peripheral nervous system.
The diagnostic method "Kirlian photography" is based on the conviction that the body has a system of energy flows, somewhat reminiscent of the blood supply system through the arteries or the peripheral nervous system.
It is believed that Kirlian photography can identify this flow of energy, which exists as a very thin layer circulating through the body (a bit like the halo depicted on icons around the saints).
This technique was accidentally discovered by Russian radiological scientists, husband and wife, Semyon and Valentina Kirlian. By passing a high-voltage high-frequency electrical discharge through a very sensitive photographic plate and placing first the hand and then the plant material on the plate, the Kirlians were able to demonstrate, after developing the photographs, images of what turned out to be “electrical emission” surrounding the photographed substance. Experimenting first on themselves, the Kirlians thought they would be able to detect changes in photographs taken before, for example, one of them caught a cold, thus confirming the belief of many Chinese doctors that physical illness is the result of a disturbance in the flow of energy.
For ten years, the Kirlian spouses have created and improved a device that allows them to study the glow of objects in an electromagnetic field (a modified Tesla resonance transformer operating in a pulsed mode was used as a source of high-voltage high-frequency voltage), took thousands of high-frequency images, studying the mechanisms and possibilities of a previously unknown phenomenon. The image quality was much higher than that of its predecessors.
Once the workers of one of the institutes brought two externally identical leaves of plants to the Kirlian spouses. Placing them in a high voltage field, the inventors, to the bewilderment of many, received different images in the picture. Employees admitted that one of the leaves was taken from a diseased plant. They later came to the conclusion that new method research recognizes diseases at an early stage of their development and not only in plants, but also in humans. The images can be used for early diagnosis, relapse of the disease can be detected, and the therapeutic effect of chemicals can be objectively assessed.
In the process of research, scientists discovered another curious fact: the discharge process depends not only on the painful, but also on the emotional state of the object.
So the Kirlian couple opened a window to the unknown world. Their designs were protected by twenty one copyright certificates.
There were no funds for patenting the “Kirlian effect” abroad, and after a while the discovery began to be widely used in other countries just like that. Foreign scientists, having tested the method and made sure that this is a fundamentally new key to the secrets of nature, called the flickering radiation of living and inanimate objects the Kirlian effect, forever inscribing the name of the researchers in the history of science. The main thing in the Kirlian effect is the ability to help people. And today this opportunity is realized in the energetic diagnostics of the physical and psychoemotional state of a person by terminal points.
German scientist, physician P. Mandel considers Kirlian images as photographs of the energy flow that determines human life. Using Kirlianography, he analyzed images of the glow of the fingers and toes of hundreds of thousands of patients and developed tables that allow one to determine the state of an organ by the characteristics of the “glow” of individual zones of the fingers and toes.
“The main goal of diagnostics is to identify the possible hidden cause of the disease in order to get to its source. Another goal is to suppress negatively developing processes through optimal therapy before the manifestation of clearly expressed clinical symptoms. Medical ethics dictates the way to prevent diseases ”(P. Mandel).
Currently, research institutes and clinics in Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Holland are working under his leadership, where further bioenergetic research of a person is carried out, methods of his energetic correction and treatment are being developed and tested.
The World Association for the Study of this physical effect was created, named after the Kirlian spouses. Techniques were improved, devices were invented that made it possible to expand the possibilities of scientific research in order to answer some more questions from an endless series.
Konstantin Georgievich Korotkov became one of the leading specialists in Kirlianography in Russia. He created a complex of equipment for studying biological objects by the method of gas-discharge visualization with direct input of gas-discharge images into a computer. This system allows observing the development of Kirlian images in real time, recording them, converting them, printing them and storing them in the computer memory. And the developed software makes it possible to observe the change in the emission structure of a person in real time, to quantitatively measure the level of health and the stress index, to detect imbalances in a person's energy, which makes it possible to diagnose functional deviations long before their manifestation, to analyze the psychoemotional state of the patient. The gas-discharge visualization method allows one to study the state of individual organs and systems of the body and find the most effective methods of therapy.
Currently, the method of gas-discharge visualization (Kirlian effect) is one of the few methods that allow you to quickly, reliably and safely investigate the physical, psychoemotional and energy state of a person, identify the disease long before its clinical manifestation and find its root cause, as well as select individual treatment methods and improvement, monitor their effectiveness in dynamics.
Practical results of applying the Kirlian method
Experience confirms that in any age group, from young children to the elderly, there are both powerful, tense auras and non-tense auras and discontinuous auras. And now scientists are faced with a new mystery - where can children 10-12 years old have a powerful aura ?! It is difficult to answer this question if one does not recognize the law of reincarnation, according to which each person comes to Earth with his accumulations and a supply of psychic energy of a certain quality. Another thing is how we will use our energy reserve in the future - to increase or decrease it.
It should be noted that young people show great interest in human energy, are not afraid to act on the Kirlian device and like to experiment. We consider it important that the younger generation realizes, first of all, that every person has an energy potential and that he himself can change his energy with the power of thought and will.
Irritation and despondency are one of our main enemies, extinguishers of the radiation of the aura. "... Each irritation, each despondency will already absorb valuable energy." Analyzing radiation in a calm state and in a state of irritation, we see that this state has violated the aura of the young man, he himself, as it were, "weakened" his energy protection. In this state, the body can be susceptible not only to various infections, but also to the influences of other people.
It is no coincidence that despondency in all Teachings is considered a state unworthy of a person. The Kirlian method allowed for the first time to see how such a condition is detrimental to human health. The flow of energy is interrupted, many places remain unprotected, we ourselves reduce, "extinguish" the potential of psychic energy. The body in this state is weakened both physically and emotionally. Seeing the results of the experiment, young people seriously think and realize the need to control their feelings.
Often, unfortunately, many people forget about the beauty of the Russian language and use foul language. Swear words have become the scourge of our time. Using the Kirlian method, the initial state was removed, then the subject uttered swear words for a minute (the operator left at that moment), after which his radiation was filmed. The picture shows how the energy “breaks down” throughout the spine, that is, the energy flow is interrupted, the total area of \u200b\u200bthe glow decreases, especially in the region of the chest and genitourinary system, and blood circulation deteriorates.
Smoking also has a negative effect on the state of mental energy, especially the throat region (shown by the arrow), the head and spine "suffer". Let's hope that the witnesses to the experiment will be able to overcome the bad habit that has become widespread. After all, everyone is concerned about their own health, and this is a great incentive for improvement.
Excitement, especially strong, also suppresses mental energy, and this prevents young people from realizing themselves during tests and exams. The ability to master your energy, your feelings and thoughts is one of the most pressing tasks for young people. We filmed the students' aura before and after the test. Before the test, many of the radiation is weak, is recorded by individual streamers, and in some it is practically absent. After the test, two factors immediately intensify and restore the radiation: the joy that the test has passed, and the absence of a reason for excitement.
Experiments have also been carried out with cell phones. The results showed that for those who use cell phones, the area of \u200b\u200b\\ u200b \\ u200bglow is reduced or completely disappears in the throat and head. And this is not surprising. Now there are many scientific works, in which the negative impact on a person, primarily on his cardiovascular system, of electromagnetic fields, especially from household appliances, is considered. It should be noted here that the stronger the aura (in terms of voltage and area), the less any negative impact, including from cell phones, affects.
Music, especially classical music, has a beneficial effect on young people. In 2002, research was carried out in the Uralsk state university them. Gorky, and the Kirlian method was one of the methods that confirmed that music has healing properties. In ancient times, great importance was attached to sound, and nowadays music therapy is widely used. Experiments have shown that listening to your favorite music for one minute not only restores the aura, but also makes it more powerful.
Essential oils also have a positive effect. It is enough to inhale the smell of oil several times, as certain energy centers are activated. Interestingly, when experimenting with essential oils, frankincense activated an exchange with the subtle world in a 12-year-old child. The device recorded energy clusters going to the heart, hypothalamus and pineal gland (pineal gland of the SH).

Glowing phantoms
The Moscow publishing house "Knowledge" has published a small book "In the world of wonderful discharges." Its authors, Krasnodar mechanic Semyon Davidovich Kirlian (now honored inventor of the RSFSR) and his wife Valentina Khrisanfovna Kirlian described an original method of photographing objects in a high-frequency electric discharge, patented by them back in 1949.
At that time, very few people could have imagined what significant consequences the appearance of this brochure would have; hardly anyone had any idea that the “Kirlian effect” would become truly world famous. The article by senior researcher Viktor Adamenko "Rays of Life" told about the history of the discovery of the Kirlian spouses, about the "electrographic" photography that preceded the "high-frequency" one, about the work on the development of the latter, carried out both in our country and abroad - in Bulgaria, Romania , GDR, Czechoslovakia, Brazil, Germany, England, USA ... Only in the USSR dozens of scientific and popular scientific articles have been published about "high-frequency" photography, several dissertations are devoted to it, its technical improvements are protected by 20 copyright certificates. Now the "Kirlian effect" is used in various fields of science and technology: in geology, and in psychology, and in chemistry, and in biology. Even the "space" specialists from NASA became interested in him.
However, many scientists believe that the main area of \u200b\u200bapplication of "high-frequency" photography is medicine. In January 1974, the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry News published an article by Dr. David Sheinkin from the Institute of Bioenergy Analyzes (USA) on the use of the “Kirlian effect” for the diagnosis of a number of diseases (this possibility was first pointed out by Kirlian themselves). He found that in persons suffering from this or that disease, a strictly defined change in the structure of the luminous crown was observed. It is curious that in some cases it was possible to fix this change even before the first symptoms of the disease appeared. And what has been said is quite enough to understand that the "Kirlian effect" is gradually turning from an exotic phenomenon into a convenient method for solving many practical problems. It is, of course, premature to say that “high frequency” photography will no longer be a surprise. A strong confirmation of this is a very mysterious phenomenadiscovered during the application of the "Kirlian effect". Some of them have never been explained. These mysterious facts (however, only five - the volume of material simply does not allow us to give more examples) and the notes of engineer Larisa VILENSKAYA
Revived leaf
A freshly plucked plant leaf is placed in the discharge device. The current is switched on, and a bluish glow appears on the surface of the sheet (Fig. 1a). Then several needle pricks are applied to the sheet. And it instantly reacts to mechanical stress - a reddish glow appears at the sites of damage (Fig. 1b). After a while, the leaf begins to wither, and its glow gradually fades away (Fig. 1c). But then a man comes up and stretches out his hands at a distance of 15-20 cm from the sheet. The “healer” seems to infuse fresh forces into the dying cells: after a few minutes, the glow of the leaf resumes (Fig. 1d). This is how the leaf reacts to bioenergetic effects ...
This experiment was conducted in 1972 by University of California professor Thelma Moss. Having studied the "Kirlian effect", she decided, first of all, to apply it to study the remote interaction of living systems. In particular, she was very interested in the experience of the work of the Tbilisi physician Alexei Krivoye OTOVR (see, the article by L. Kharkivsky "A" magician "comes to the laboratory in" Technology of Youth "No. 3, 1969). Moss managed to find people who, following Krivorotov, claimed that they, they say, could heal by "laying on of hands." How can such a bold statement be verified? Suppose the patient says that he felt better, but after all, "better" or "worse" is a purely subjective assessment. As for the traditional clinical methods research, they, for all their objectivity, are quite complex and lengthy. It was then that “high-frequency photography came to the rescue. It turned out that during the session of bioenergetic influence there is a distinct change in the color and intensity of the glow of the skin both in the "healer" and in the patient. These results were obtained in the laboratory of Newark college of Engineering by Dr. D. Dean.
However, one ambiguity remains: after all, the patient knows that they are trying to help him in some way. Maybe "high-frequency" pictures simply reflect the change in a person's state as a result of suggestion and self-hypnosis? It was then that an experiment was conceived on the influence of man on a withering leaf of a plant. According to Moss, the experiment confirmed that the "healer" emits some kind of energy that affects living objects.
"Kirlian photography can be an indicator of human interaction in a wordless, invisible, probably electrical way," Moss wrote in her article in Galaxies of Life. It was published in the USA under the editorship of psychologist Stanley Krippner. The collection contains materials of the first conference on the Kirlian effect in the West.
So, there is a reliably established fact, which has not yet been explained. What kind of energy is this, and does it really have a beneficial effect?
Mummy riddle
As has been repeatedly noted in the literature, the Kirlian method is an irreplaceable indicator of psychophysiological processes in the human body. In this way, you can fix the slightest fluctuations in the state and even the mood of the individual. For example, if a person is only a little worried or scared, the glow of his skin instantly changes its color and intensity, the shape and structure of the crown becomes completely different (see article V. Adamenko "The Rays of Life" in "Technology of Youth" No. 7, 1973 ). A group of students from the Moscow Engineering Physics Institute recently also confirmed that when a person is emotionally excited, a shift in the spectral characteristics of the glow is observed.
By the way, research in this direction promises big trouble for lovers of all kinds of stimulants. So, the magazine has already talked about the fact that with the help of the "Kirlian effect" it is possible to determine exactly whether the driver has drunk or not. The halo of the finger changes dramatically immediately after "taking" even a glass of beer. And at the International Conference on Psychotronic Problems, held in Prague last year, Professor Moss spoke about an equally interesting experiment. The 65 volunteer subjects were divided into two groups: one took a small dose of marijuana, and the other an indifferent substance. Then they all had Kirlian photographs of the glow of the skin of their fingertips. And what? From the photographs, it turned out to be possible to accurately determine which of the subjects was exposed to the drug. Note that neither the experimenter who evaluated the photographs, nor the subjects themselves knew which group they were assigned to - this could only be ascertained by the protocols kept secret until the end of the experiment.
Senior Researcher Viktor Adamenko conducted a similar experiment. The investigated "doping" was a mysterious substance - mummy. In Figure 2, on the left, you see the glow of a person's finger in a normal state, and on the right, after taking the mummy. The difference is obvious. Will Kirlian's method help to reveal the secret of the effects of the most ancient medicinal preparation? Scientists have been struggling with this problem for more than one year (see the article by A. Grechikhin "Tears of stone giants, mummies: legends and reality" in "Technology of Youth" No. 11, 1971). Or maybe, thanks to the "high-frequency" photography, the key to unraveling the influence of other traditional medicine will be found? What are their components that affect the human body, changing the glow? What exactly do the variations in color, shape and structure of the crown characterize? These questions remain unanswered so far.
About the effectBaxter
Let's turn to another experiment related to the world of plants. This image was obtained in 1972 by British researchers D. Milner and E. Smart. On the left is a living leaf that has just been torn off, on the right is a wilting leaf that has already lain for a day. The energy field of the first is as if "transferred" to the second, the green "healer" seems to be trying to "revive" his fellow. This phenomenon, very strange and surprising, makes us recall again about the "living detectors" that the magazine once reported (see the article by V. Adamenko "Living detectors" in "Tekhnika Molodezhi" No. 8, 1970).
Several years ago, an American specialist, director of the Research Committee of the Academy of Forensic Sciences, Cleve Baxter, noticed that fluctuations in the emotional state of a person cause changes in the electrical potential of plant leaves. Later, he showed that this kind of remote interaction is inherent in other biological objects.
"Communication" of living cells at distances was also discovered in the experiments of a group of Novosibirsk scientists led by Doctor of Biological Sciences Vlail Kaznacheev (see the journal "Knowledge is Sila" No. 3, 1973). The experience itself is simple. Tissue cultures are placed in two adjacent quartz flasks. Then one of the cultures is infected with viruses or killed with poison, and here the most amazing thing begins: after the death of the first culture, the turn of the second comes, although the possibility of getting a virus into it was ruled out. Moreover, if the first culture dies, for example, from poisoning with poison - mercuric chloride, which blocks respiratory enzymes, then the second one dies precisely from “suffocation”. This phenomenon, called by researchers "mirror cytopathic effect", is officially recognized scientific discovery and is entered in the register of discoveries under number 122. Why is this happening? Kaznacheev believes: dying cells emit ultraviolet rays, which have a fatal effect on healthy ones. The assumption is based, in particular, on the fact that when the quartz flasks were replaced with glass ones, this effect was not observed. However, in Baxter's experiments, humans and plants, as well as various colonies of bacteria, interacted with each other beyond the line of sight. It is not excluded that the described experiments are a consequence of more complex deep processes occurring in living nature. Unfortunately, we still know very little about the sensitivity of biological systems to external influences, about their ability to respond to various types of physical fields and radiation. All these questions are still waiting for their researchers.
Energy footprint
At the beginning of the 60s, reports appeared in our press about Rosa Kuleshova from Nizhny Tagil, who possessed the ability of "skin vision". She could, blindfolded, read text by letter, feel the colors of objects, plots of drawings and photographs. These messages aroused great interest from both scientists and the general public (see the selection of materials "From sensational hype to serious research" in "TM" No. 2, 1965). Later it turned out that Kuleshova's abilities were by no means unique. A. Novomeisky in Sverdlovsk, N. Sudakov in Magnitogorsk, A. Shevelev in Odessa and other researchers found people who ‘successfully demonstrated“ skin vision ”.
Some of them received nice results not only ”under normal conditions (when touching a recognizable object), but also in those cases when this object was in a black envelope or in a metal cassette.
Researchers have put forward numerous hypotheses trying to explain such a strange phenomenon, but none of them received final experimental confirmation. And here the "Kirlian effect" comes to the rescue again. Let's take a picture in a high-frequency discharge of some object, for example, an inscription (Fig. 4a), then cover it with a sheet of black paper and take a picture again (Fig. 4b). In this photograph, taken by V. Adamenko in 1968, a slightly faded luminous inscription appears clearly, although it is hidden from our eyes. Who knows if such an "electric trail" of the object will lead to a solution to the problem of "skin vision"?
Ghost leaf
Adamenko asked one more riddle. In 1966, he accidentally discovered the following phenomenon: if the edge of a plant leaf is cut off by a few millimeters, then the glow will cover the missing part, and the leaf in the Kirlian photograph will seem to remain intact (Fig. 5a). Everything was so unusual that it naturally aroused mistrust. Moss repeated this experiment and became convinced of the reality of the strange phenomenon (Fig. 5c). And the Brazilian researcher, director of the Institute of Psychobiophysics Hernani Andrade somewhat modified the experience. He did not cut off, but killed part of the leaf and received the same result (Fig. 5b).
What are "glowing phantoms"? Do they not indicate: a living organism is permeated with a kind of energy "frame", which disappears only after its death entirely?
From Kirlian's diary:
“Observation is the cornerstone of everything new in science, including the receipt of electrical radiation from animate and inanimate nature. Working as a physiomechanic in physiotherapy rooms of hospitals, I noticed that diathermic discharges between the patient's body and the electrode, as it were, begin to "live". During the procedure, they change color, dynamics ... It seemed that their behavior was controlled by the patient's body. Thoughts, ideas appeared ... "" What will happen if you put a film between the electrodes and the skin? But in the bluish glow of a full glass electrode, it will glow. Then it was decided to replace the glass with metal, although the discharges became painful. Nothing! Science requires sacrifice. When isolated from the ground, the unpleasant tingling softened. "
This is how the first unique images of objects of inanimate and living nature were obtained using “high frequency currents”.
From Kirlian's diary:
For ten years, the Kirlian spouses in their home laboratory have created and improved a device that allows them to study the glow of objects in an electromagnetic field (a modified Tesla resonance transformer operating in a pulsed mode was used as a source of high-voltage high-frequency voltage), took thousands of high-frequency images, studying the mechanisms and possibilities of the previously unknown phenomena.
Once the workers of one of the institutes brought two externally identical leaves of plants to the Kirlian spouses. Placing them in a high voltage field, the inventors, to the bewilderment of many, received different images in the picture. Employees admitted that one of the leaves was taken from a diseased plant. Later, they came to the conclusion that the new research method recognizes diseases at an early stage of their development, not only in plants, but also in humans. The images can be used for early diagnosis, relapse of the disease can be detected, and the therapeutic effect of chemicals can be objectively assessed.
S.D., V.Kh. Kirlian, In the world of wonderful discharges:
“New knowledge was required to fulfill the plan. I had to study electronic optics, get acquainted with optical photography, draw up diagram after diagram. To our chagrin, the first experiments did not give a "scattering of stars", but a skeleton of fingers. Crazy thoughts appeared, isn't this the "X-ray" business? But the experiments continued. The path to the "placers" was a thorny one, it went through a jungle of schemes, burns, unexpected results, despair. This was not His Majesty's case, but a long and hard work. The labor of penetration into an unknown world, where precious formulas of human health and longevity are buried "
In the process of research, scientists discovered another curious fact: the discharge process depends not only on the painful, but also on the emotional state of the object.
So the Kirlian couple opened a window to the unknown world. Their designs were protected by twenty one copyright certificates. But few scientists had time to look into this world, since "Gostekhnika" with a stroke of the pen shut this window tightly, put the work of the Kirlian spouses in the category of top secret, closed topics.
Gr.A.Y. 09/29/1965:
“The issue of human radiation is unusually important. The invention of the Kirlian couple is the greatest discovery of the century. Therefore, darkness rebelles against it and prevents its use. It is precisely by this suppression of the invention, clearly necessary and useful for the widest areas of life, that one can judge its great significance. Not to mention technology or agriculture, in medicine it can be used with great benefits. Diagnosis of disease in the very early stages of disease will be error-free, especially cancer. For the good of all mankind, this discovery was given to people. It is criminal and absurd to hush up what is scientifically irrefutable. The undoubted will overturn all oppositions of darkness, and in this process the leading role belongs to science. "
Only 25 years after the first results were obtained, the spouses were able to publish a detailed story about the essence of their invention (visual or instrumental observation of the glow of a gas discharge that occurs near the surface of the object under study when the latter is placed in a high-intensity electric field) and the results of the research. The brochure In the World of Wonderful Discharges, published by the Znaniye publishing house, became a real sensation.
After the publication of the brochure, a real pilgrimage to inventors began. Hundreds of people from many cities of the country have visited Kirlian's apartment. "Seismic wave" of articles about the discovery swept through the press. However, then, in the mid-60s, it was about the front side of the matter, the stunning discovery was intended to confirm the "success of construction."
From Kirlian's diary:
“We got bogged down in work no less than you were in the bog in the summer ... I think that nothing could have made us work the way we work now, like the letters we receive. "You have raised a question of great importance. ... All laboratories of the world are involved in this work. ... And by your undertaking you will increase the glory of Our Country." And here we have "breath stole in the goiter," and we, of course, will work and work, stage a series of experiments in order to penetrate deeper into this unknown world for the good of the Country and people. The unknown is just one step ahead.
... For 17 years, official correspondence has been conducted between ministries, committees, research institutes about the opening of a special laboratory to develop our research methodology for obtaining images using high-frequency currents. And to this day, since 1949, the question of this laboratory hangs in the air, no one undertakes to head it, while in France (what we accidentally learned) a method has already been developed and is practically used in biology ... I wonder if there will be sense of this scribble, it is already sitting in our livers ... "
Although many of Kirlian's inventions were widely used in practice, including in industry, there were no rewards and Kirliana lived poorly. The family budget, consisting of two modest pensions, was barely enough for them, but they managed to receive and treat those who came to them from afar, interested in the discovery.
From the diary of V.H. Kirlian
“So it happened! The hope for a republican pension has failed! Refusal! ... That means again need! Again, no pants, no suit, no shirts. And everything is shabby. A velvet jacket with fringed sleeves, mittens already short-circuited from repairs. The only gray pants from stains and time, you can, and then, oh, with what shame, be worn under a coat. And the coat is turned over, burnt from the sun, wind and rain, without a specific color. All would be nonsense, because Sena is already in his eighth decade of life, but for the sake of decency, in front of honorable people who come and go to us for advice on the method of obtaining an image by means of high-frequency currents. And I?! Not one, not one dress, so as not to blush, I can not put on myself - all the old, old! Make new or buy no penny free ... Disaster! There is no gap. And there is no way to stop to stop experimenting. There is little life left, oh, how little! And you can't get enough ideas. We must hurry to translate them into applications. It will be too late, we will take it to the grave. Although, it is true, this is of little interest to everyone. We, like ballast, were thrown overboard, there is no organization in the state to replace us, to take on our neck our mission of polarization and implementation, to improve methods and develop equipment. So, it's all over! Hopes are cut short! Now, to death, we will not get out of the material difficulties in further creative work. It's hopeless! Hopelessly!"
There were no funds for patenting the "Kirlian effect" abroad, and after a while the discovery began to be widely used in other countries just like that. The country lost priority and currency, but researchers gained prominence. Foreign scientists, having tested the method and made sure that this is a fundamentally new key to the secrets of nature, called the flickering radiation of living and inanimate objects the KIRLIAN EFFECT, forever inscribing the name of the researchers in the history of science.
Gr.A.Y., 6.11.1960
“It is difficult to foresee exactly where and how it (the Kirlian effect) can be applied in life, but the ways of application are already outlined immediately. For example, in the area agriculture when selecting seeds and determining their germination, dead seeds can be quickly and accurately separated from living ones, because the dead will not give off radiation. It will also be possible to establish the degree of viability of plants or the degree of their morbidity. It will be possible to establish the suitability of eggs for incubators. In the medical field, this machine will literally work wonders. In the event of partial paralysis of the fingers, arms or legs or atrophy of any body organs, the apparatus will be able to indicate which nerve centers that control the functions of this organ or the movement of muscles are affected, and the cells of these nerve nodes are dead. It will be possible to accurately trace the degree of tissue disease from the periphery and into the depth. It is possible to determine the electrical voltage of working fingers and fingers at rest. Pictures of the intensely working brain and its various parts can be especially interesting. What unheard-of possibilities are given to science by this invention! "
German scientist, physician P. Mandel considers Kirlian images as photographs of the energy flow that determines human life. He suggested that the characteristics of the gas-discharge glow of the fingers and toes are related to the state of the acupuncture points located on them, which are the starting or ending points of all energy channels. With the help of Kirlianography, he analyzed images of the glow of the fingers and toes of hundreds of thousands of patients and developed tables that allow one to determine the state of an organ by the characteristics of the “glow” of individual zones of the fingers and toes. In the development of the disease, he distinguishes three main stages that appear in the images. “During the information stage, symptoms rarely appear, mostly as random vegetative signs. In the second stage of development, symptoms appear that do not yet have a clear clinical correspondence. In the third, symptomatic stage, topographic projections correspond to the symptoms. This third stage is characterized by many phenomena ... The data of clinical analyzes can differ from Kirlian's diagnostics, because they can reflect different facets of deep processes in the body.
The first physicist who defended his thesis in our country on the method of Kirlian Viktor Adamenko. He believed that electrons are the main carrier of information about the biological and psychophysiological state of living organisms and considered Kirlian images to be an intravital electronic image obtained, unlike an electron microscope, not in a vacuum, but at atmospheric pressure and or in a low-pressure gas. He managed to obtain Kirlian images not only on photographic film, but also on a luminescent screen, on electrostatic paper, and even on thermographic plates.
Also one of the followers of the Kirlian spouses, their student was Stanislav Filippovich Romaniy (Dnepropetrovsk). He developed and put into practice a whole range of devices (based on the Kirlian effect) for non-destructive testing of materials and structures that cannot be controlled by traditional methods. These techniques have been successfully used by enterprises in the rocket industry.
He also created a gas-discharge imaging apparatus (AGRD), which made it possible to obtain important information about the vital activity of the body, to carry out early express diagnostics and to determine the effectiveness of the therapy. The novelty of this development is confirmed by copyright certificates.
Konstantin Georgievich Korotkov became one of the leading specialists in Kirlianography in Russia. He created a complex of equipment for studying biological objects by the method of gas-discharge visualization with direct input of gas-discharge images into a computer. This system allows you to observe the development of Kirlian - images in real time, in an ordinary, not darkened room, record them, convert, print and store them in the computer memory. And the developed software makes it possible to construct the human field, observe its changes, and also quantitatively estimate the parameters of the images, for a clearer assessment of the dynamics of the processes occurring in the body.
During the examination, the psycho-emotional state of the operator is also a very important aspect. This has been repeatedly pointed out by the Kirlians.
From Kirlian's diary:
“Many institutes would like us to take pictures according to their assignments. A delegation has arrived. They need to see the effect of the electrical state of the roots of different ages. We agreed to show them “visually”. Senya went to the laboratory to prepare the equipment ... Senya's tuning lasted longer than the prescribed time. We were sitting in another room in anticipation of a vision of the "extraordinary". As time went. I got worried, went to the Seine. “Nothing, nothing, I’ll show you now,” he convinced himself uncertainly, but all his actions indicated that he would not show anything. The apparatus sounded strong and harsh, the sound of the discharge said that the voltage was out of the norm. Guests also entered the room. Everything just went at the seams, everything was upset ... Senya began to show to see that he could hardly adjust, but it was far from what he needed. He asked for water, he felt sick. When he sat down, I realized that it was not the apparatus that had been knocked out, but the inventor himself. He felt bad ... When he began to recover a little, I went to the laboratory, set up the apparatus, put two objects (young and old roots), turned on and quietly demonstrated the effect to the guests. I didn't care what impression our guests had from the demonstration, I only wanted them to leave as soon as possible and give Seine a rest. We do not yet know what they will think and what they will do, but whatever they do, it does not bother us. One case does not solve the "battle" "... We must learn to be calm, without this experiments will not work"
Semyon Davidovich and Valentina Khrisanfovna Kirlian opened the gates to a new level of Knowledge, which helps, as the ancient sages advised, to know oneself.
Gr.A.Y., 6.11.1960:
“... Great is the merit of our inventors, the Kirlian spouses, to science and mankind, for their discovery is great and it is still impossible to take into account its entire depth of significance. ... The works of the Kirlian spouses will be duly appreciated and recognized. After all, the center of all achievements and all progress is still a person, and understanding the complexity of the apparatus of the human body and all its functions can only move science forward.

Photography by the Kirlian method is a well-known in science and widely used method for registering the glow of objects. Russian scientist S. Kirlian and his wife discovered this method in 1938. It is based on the observation that the human body has an energy sheath (aura). As is often the case, the discovery was made by accident. While repairing a complex medical device that used a high-frequency discharge, Kirlian noticed a glow between the electrode and human skin. The glow changed depending on the psycho-emotional and physical condition person. By 1950, a technique was developed and equipment was created for observing and photographing objects of various origins, including humans, by means of high-frequency currents. With the help of improved equipment, it is possible to determine the boundaries of a diseased organ, judge its changes during treatment, and predict the course of the disease. True, traditional medicine does not recognize the Kirlian diagnostic method, although for an experienced specialist these photographs can provide important information about the patient's illness.
How is Kirlian photography performed?
This method uses a special camera called a Kirlian camera. Attached to it is a circle of opaque organic glass. The camera is controlled by a chronometer and a device that measures the intensity of the discharge. A current of a certain frequency and voltage is passed through the cuff, which resembles an electrode. A person puts his hand on the glass, fingers spread wide, and holds it in this position for some time. If the foot is photographed, then it is necessary to ensure that it fits snugly against the glass. At the time of photographing, the patient and the doctor must stand on an insulating rubber mat. For particularly sensitive patients, exposure electric current may cause some harm, although the amperage is very weak.
This method is not popular in modern medicine. It is used as an adjunct to confirm the diagnosis.
With the help of a Kirlian photograph, a person's energy field is fixed. Thanks to the corona discharge and high-frequency alternating voltage, it is possible to capture the glow of a living organism (aura). Analysis of the human aura - its shape, size, intensity, symmetry, and other parameters - allows one to judge the bioenergetic state of both individual organs and the whole organism as a whole. The photograph clearly shows the reflections of twelve channels (meridians), which are traditionally distinguished by Chinese medicine. These channels of the human body testify to the energy state of the body and spirit, to the genetically programmed predispositions of a person, to the state of his health at the present time. Using the Kirlian method, it is possible to diagnose violations even before the symptoms of the disease itself appear.
One of three types of radiation can be seen in the photograph: endocrine, toxic or degenerative glow. Endocrine luminescence is understood as the weakness of the hormonal system, all disorders of the autonomic nervous system. Toxic luminescence is characteristic in the presence of an acute inflammatory process or infection, a disease caused by toxic substances. The degenerative type occurs with an organic disease, with tissue decay.
Evaluation of treatment results
The Kirlian method is used to assess the results of treatment, especially if the treatment is prolonged. The changes present in the photograph make it possible to judge the state of the disease, the effectiveness of the traditional and homeopathic medicines used.
Do not rely 100% solely on the Kirlian effect. Therefore, to clarify the diagnosis, it is necessary to use other research methods used by traditional medicine.
