So, Wilhelm Reich was one of the disciples of Sigmund Freud, the father of psychoanalysis. Just as Alfred Adler and Carl Jung, Reich broke away from psychoanalysis and founded his own psychological school. It should be noted that, whereas Adler and Jung downplayed the significance of sexuality for the human psyche (and we all remember that Freud’s teaching is largely based on sexuality), Reich, on the contrary, attached to it even more importance than Freud.

Initially, Reich’s own teaching was called “sexual economy”, and his psychotherapy - “vegetotherapy”. The scientist felt that, in the human body, some energy circulated – and that just this energy was responsive for sexual manifestations and, in the final analysis, for life itself. As it is known, Freud introduced into scientific use the term “libido”, meaning by it sexual energy. However, he couldn’t prove the existence of this energy, and started using the term to denote abstract sexual drive.
Reich, in his turn, was absolutely convinced that such energy existed. First, he called it “vegetative currents” or “bioelectricity”. Then, he managed to prove its existence and called it “orgone”. According to Reich, orgone has the following characteristics:
- It is everywhere, filling all space;
- It is mass free;
- It pulsates;
- It is attracted by water;
- It is attracted and held by non-metallic materials (wood, cotton, etc), and it is attracted and immediately repelled by metals.
- It has a blue color (in high concentrations);
- It is the primal energy, composing all the existing objects;
- When its flow in a living organism is blocked, the organism gets sick (this condition is called “biopathy”). An organism also gets sick when there is too little orgone in it.
Now that you know what orgone is and which characteristics it has, it’s time to tell you about “orgone box” (orgone accumulator). So, based on the properties of orgone listed above, Reich invented a device which accumulated orgone energy, so that his patients, whose organisms suffered from orgone undercharge, could make up for life energy deficiency.
An orgone accumulator represents a box made up of wood sheets lined with metal. Wood, as we remember, attracts and holds orgone, and metal repels it – just towards the patient who sits inside the accumulator.
An "orgone box" can consist of several layers of wood and metal. The more layers it has, the higher the orgone charge it accumulates.
Here are two interesting things. The first one is that metal used in orgone accumulator should be a ferrous one – apparently, because our blood cells have iron at their core (nonferrous metals will do damage when used as part of the box). The second interesting fact is as follows: the form of an orgone accumulator should be that of a parallelepiped, AND NOT OF A PYRAMID (surprisingly, pyramids accumulate bad energy).
So, orgone accumulator is a useful thing that can make us more healthy and energetic. The bad news is there are very few places where one can be treated by means of this accumulator. But the good news is there is an alternative method of becoming more healthy and energetic.
