Why measure EMF at all?
I remember the first time I got my hands on a decent EMF meter. The temptation was to point it at everything in the house and chase the largest number on the screen.
It is an entertaining way to spend an afternoon, but it does not actually tell us much about the etheric environment we live in. Before we start placing orgonite or rearranging our furniture, we need to know what we are dealing with. We get far better information when we measure the same places under repeatable conditions.
What kind of Electrosmog are we actually measuring?
EMF is a broad term. In our experience, we are mostly looking at three different phenomena, and they require different approaches.
First, we have electric fields from household wiring and appliances. These are present even when very little current is flowing. If a lamp is plugged in, the field is there.
Second, we have magnetic fields. These are produced when current actually flows through a conductor. They become noticeable close to motors, heavy appliances, and transformers, and then drop off rapidly as you move away.
Third, and most relevant to the modern gifting movement, are radiofrequency (RF) fields. This is the dense fog of Wi-Fi, cell towers, and Bluetooth devices that surrounds us constantly.
You cannot measure all of these accurately with one cheap gadget. A meter designed for low-frequency magnetic fields will not tell you anything useful about your Wi-Fi router. Match the instrument to the question.
A three-in-one meter like the TriField TF2 gets around this with a mode switch instead of one fixed sensor. A baseline-first approach also helps us avoid treating a meter as a ghost detector, a limitation discussed in our baseline-first EMF guide.
How do we establish a useful baseline?
Good preparation is less glamorous than waving a meter around like a magic wand. But it is where the real work happens.
Make a list of the places you actually spend time. Your bed, your desk, your favourite chair. The goal is not to measure every inch of the skirting board, but to understand the spaces your body occupies for hours at a time.
Take readings at these common body positions. Record the numbers when the house is in its normal, everyday state. An empty room with every device unplugged might be interesting, but it does not describe the room when you actually live in it.
Write it down in a simple log, and keep it going for at least a week. Memory is excellent at recalling the dramatic number that worried us, but terrible at remembering whether the router was downloading a large file at the time.
What are the worst offenders in the house?
Let us have a look at the usual suspects.
Wi-Fi routers and cordless phones are obvious sources of intense RF fields. If your router is right next to your pillow, that is a physical problem you can solve by simply moving it.
Smart home equipment and modern appliances constantly chatter with the network. They generate a particularly harsh form of Electrosmog. Observe these devices for long enough to see their ordinary pattern, as they often transmit in bursts.
Then there are the hidden magnetic fields. A simple clock radio plugged in right next to your head might be generating a massive magnetic field all night.
For each source, take readings close to it and then step back to where you normally sit or sleep. This shows whether the field reaches you. A close-up maximum against the back of a running refrigerator is not the exposure of the whole room.
Why doesn’t orgonite change the meter reading?
In 24 years of doing this, it’s the question I get asked most often by fellow experimenters. You’ve mapped your home, found a high reading, placed a beautiful piece of orgonite next to it, and checked the meter again.
The meter will beep just as loudly. The radio frequencies are still there.
Put an EMF meter next to a cell phone mast and then put a piece of orgonite beside it. The physical transmission continues. If it did not, your cell phone would stop working.
In my opinion, orgonite works on the deadly etheric component — the DOR that those fields generate — and not on the radio waves themselves.
Dr. Wilhelm Reich, who coined the terms, observed that universal orgone energy exists in two basic states. POR, or Positive Orgone Radiation, is the life-generating creative state. DOR, or Deadly Orgone Radiation, is the state of blockage where this energy is dammed up and stagnates.
The density of modern electromagnetic fields creates a massive DOR problem. The physical radio waves irritate the etheric energy field, stripping it of its vitality.
Karl Hans Welz invented orgonite by combining resin and metal filings. He created a passive technological device that transforms this stagnant DOR back into POR. Don Croft later added crystals and launched the worldwide gifting movement.
The piezoelectric effect of those crystals is real and well documented in engineering. I sympathise with anyone reaching for it — after all these years I would love a tidy conventional answer too.
But the squeeze a crystal gets while resin cures is a one-off event, and it is finished the moment the resin has set. It cannot be the continuing mechanism.
We are dealing with an etheric transformation. The physical frequencies remain, but the etheric environment changes from toxic to life-affirming.
So what can be done?
First, use your baseline measurements to make practical physical changes. Move the router out of the bedroom. Keep your phone away from your head at night. Distance is your best friend when dealing with physical EMF.
Once you have done what you can with the physical sources, you can address the etheric environment.
This is where gifting your neighbourhood comes in. Tossing a few simple Tower Busters (TBs) near the local cell masts changes the energetic feel of the whole area.
For your home, a Holy Handgrenade (HHG) or a pyramid can be placed near the main sources of Electrosmog. Reich’s original Cloudbuster, which used grounded pipes to draw DOR from the sky, is entirely different from the Chembuster that Don Croft later invented using orgonite. A Chembuster in the garden works wonders for the atmosphere above your home.
This is where the calm-home and sleep improvements come in. In our experience, the Orgonite Pyramid M is excellent for tackling insomnia. You simply place it near the bed. Even after months of sleepless nights, deep sleep usually returns on the very first night. We find that this deep, restful state continues week after week.
If you are ready to explore this for yourself, Orgonise Africa offers proven orgonite pyramids and related pieces. The sensible place to begin remains the same: take a baseline, make your changes, and observe the results honestly.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does EMF mean in a home measurement?
EMF covers electric fields, magnetic fields, and radiofrequency fields. A useful measurement identifies which type is being assessed rather than treating all Electrosmog as one thing.
Can one EMF meter measure every source?
Usually not. A meter designed for household wiring will not accurately measure the radiofrequency fields from a cell tower.
Why do my meter readings constantly jump around?
Wireless devices transmit intermittently, and appliances cycle on and off. Normal variation is simply part of the information you are gathering.
Did Wilhelm Reich invent orgonite?
No. Wilhelm Reich discovered orgone energy, DOR, the ORAC, and the Cloudbuster. Orgonite was invented later by Karl Hans Welz, and Don Croft added crystals to start the gifting movement.
