How to Make an Orgone Blanket

In the 1930's psychoanalyst Wilhelm Reich coined the term "orgone energy" to describe a universal life source. It was believed that orgone energy could be cultivated to do a variety of things from causing rain to curing ailments. Many devices were designed to harness orgone energy, including the orgone blanket that in theory would accumulate "life energy." This energy radiates throughout the body to increase relaxation and to improve health issues, such as pain, immune deficiencies and stress. Increased interest in natural healing has renewed societal interest in orgone energy.
