Can Pain Have a Biological and emotional Meaning? The Unified Approach with Q Magnets

Oct 03, 2025

For the past two weeks we’ve explored the concept of the biofield—the subtle network of energy and information that links the mind, body, and environment. This week, we’d like to introduce someone who has been putting these concepts into practice for more than a decade: Rubén Álvarez, a professor and Director of the Institute of Unified Kinesiology (IEKU) in Barcelona.

Rubén has been using Q Magnets since 2013, integrating them into his therapeutic protocols to restore balance and support healing. His work bridges psychoneuroimmunology (PNI), Traditional Chinese Medicine, and German New Medicine, providing a holistic framework for addressing both physical and emotional health.

Just as the biofield reflects the dynamic interplay between mind and body, Rubén’s approach shows how Q Magnets can be used to gently modulate the nervous system, release emotional blockages, and promote natural healing responses. In this way, Q Magnets become not just tools for pain relief, but part of a wider process of restoring harmony across the body’s systems.

In his book, The Mystery Of Life Energy, the author Dr Eric Leskowitz writes about training under one of the pioneers of psychoneuroimmunology, Dr George Solomon back in the 1980s. When the link between stress and the immune function seemed radical. Now, 40 years later, it is widely accepted.

This Isn’t Magic—It’s Science

Psychoneuroimmunology (PNI) shows us that the mind, nervous system, and immune system are deeply connected. Your thoughts, emotions, and stress levels can directly influence your body’s defences, pain perception, and even its capacity to heal.

How Does This Mind-Body Connection Work?

Chronic Stress Weakens Your Defences
Anxiety, unresolved emotions, and mental overload place constant stress on your immune system, making you more vulnerable to infections, chronic inflammation, and autoimmune issues.
Your Brain and Immune System Are in Constant Dialogue
Neurotransmitters and hormones like cortisol regulate immune responses—sometimes amplifying them, sometimes suppressing them. Achieving balance in this communication is key to resilience and recovery.
Chronic Pain and Trapped Emotions
Unresolved emotional conflicts and neuroinflammation can keep pain pathways in the nervous system “switched on,” even when no clear physical cause is present. This is where PNI offers a way to break the cycle.

Where Q Magnets Fit In

Q Magnets provide a safe, non-invasive way to support these mind-body processes.

👉 Reduce Neuroinflammation – Modulate excessive immune responses that contribute to chronic pain and fatigue.
👉 Regulate the Nervous System – Help shift from “fight or flight” to relaxation, improving sleep, recovery, and well-being.
👉 Modulate Pain – Act at both central and peripheral levels to reduce pain perception naturally.
👉 Balance Emotions & Promote Healthier Behaviours – Influence brain centers that regulate emotions, behaviours, and physiological responses.

This may help to:

✔ Release trapped negative emotions.
✔ Break stress or anxiety cycles.
✔ Encourage healthier habits and stronger relationships.
✔ Support the body’s natural healing capacity.

How Ruben Uses Q Magnets in Unified Kinesiology

In my practice, Q Magnets are a fundamental tool. Using muscle testing, I identify imbalances and apply therapeutic magnetic fields to restore equilibrium.

This work forms part of the KEGABA Method, which integrates:

✔ Psychoneuroimmunology (PNI)
✔ Traditional Chinese Medicine
✔ The 5 Biological Laws of German New Medicine
✔ Emotional Kinesiology

Through this framework, we can restore balance across the psyche, nervous system, immune system, hormonal system, and microbiota.

German New Medicine: The 5 Biological Laws

GNM gives us a fresh perspective: symptoms are not random malfunctions but meaningful biological adaptations.

The Hierarchical Law – Every disease begins with a biological conflict registered in the brain.
The Two-Phase Nature of Disease – Symptoms shift from a conflict-active phase (stress, tension) to a healing phase (inflammation, fatigue).
Embryonic Layers and Organs – Each organ’s embryonic origin helps explain the emotional correlations behind symptoms.
Microorganisms as Helpers – Viruses, bacteria, and fungi assist in healing rather than acting as enemies.
The Biological Meaning of Symptoms – Every symptom has a survival purpose.

By aligning kinesiology with these laws and supporting the process with Q Magnets, we can facilitate deeper and more natural healing.

A Smarter Approach to Pain and Health

When we understand that the body responds to what we think and feel, we can begin to heal from within. With the proper training, Q Magnets are a tool that helps restore balance in this process—drug-free, non-invasive, and aligned with the body’s natural design.

If you’re using Q magnets in an innovative and unique way, let us know and we may be able to feature this in an upcoming newsletter.

Until next time, stay curious and stay well.
