Believers in Odic force state that it resembles the eastern mystical concepts Ch'i and Prana . However, they regard the Od, not as associated with breath (like ch'i), but mainly with claimed Electromagnetic properties. Baron von Reichenbach developed the concept of Odic force during the 1850s in his Researches on Magnetism, Electricity, Heat and Light in their relations to Vital Forces. His claims included that his Odic force had a positive and negative Flux , and a light and dark side. Individuals could supposedly "emanate" it, particularly from the hands, mouth, and forehead. He believed it had other uses, and that for example Crystal s could store it within themselves as "crystalod". Von Reichenbach hoped to develop a scientific proof for a universal life force, but since his experiments relied on allegedly Psychically sensitive and Psycho-kinetically adept individuals, it never acquired currency in the general scientific community. Current popularity of the theory within New Age and Paranormal Circles has arisen at the same time as the success of George Lucas ' fictional Force in the Star Wars series, with which the Odic Force has similarities. Energy Vampire s can allegedly drain Odic Force from other people, either willingly or unwillingly. Criticisms of this theory usually include the Placebo Effect . SEE ALSO EXTERNAL LINKS
