A Systematic Review on the Use of Bio-Well GDV Technology in Assessing Stress, Chakra Alignment, and Energy Balance

The development of Bio-Well Gas Discharge Visualization (GDV) technology has come to the fore as a non-invasive assessment tool for measuring biofield energy, stress, and chakra alignment. Despite its growing use in integrative health and psychology, very little information exists on the empirical understanding of the reliability and applications of this technology. Therefore, the aim of this systematic review will be to synthesize the existing body of research on the use of Bio- Well GDV technology in assessing stress, energy balance, and psychological well-being. In line with the PRISMA 2020 guidance, studies were identified through database searches-PubMed, Scopus, PsycINFO, and Google Scholar-and screened using Rayyan software. Twenty studies that met the inclusion criteria are analysed for methodological quality, variables studied, and outcomes. Results from the synthesis indicate that high stress levels consistently correlate with decreased energy coherence and misalignment in chakra activity. The Bio-Well has been shown to be good at detecting subtle psychophysiological imbalances with potential applications in clinical settings and research settings. However, there are significant gaps regarding sample size adequacy, standardization of procedures, and cross-validation with established physiological measures. Further studies will be necessary to provide stronger empirical foundations for establishing and validating the psychometric and clinical utility of the device.
