Orgonomy is the study of orgone energy, a concept developed by Wilhelm Reich (1897–1957), an Austrian psychoanalyst and scientist. Reich proposed that orgone energy is a fundamental, universal life force present in all living things and throughout the cosmos. He described it as a primordial cosmic energy, akin to historical concepts like prana (Hinduism), chi (Chinese medicine), and ether (aetheric energy).

===== 1. Orgone Energy - Reich claimed that orgone is a dynamic, pulsating energy that can be observed in biological, atmospheric, and cosmic processes. - He suggested that this energy flows through all living organisms and plays a critical role in health, emotion, and even planetary weather. - Orgone is considered massless but interacts with matter, forming biological and environmental effects. =====
# Orgone Accumulators - Reich developed orgone accumulators (ORACs)—box-like devices made of alternating organic and metallic layers. - These devices were designed to concentrate orgone energy, which Reich claimed could enhance health, boost vitality, and even treat disease, including cancer. - However, mainstream science dismissed the accumulators, and Reich’s work was heavily criticized.
# Bions and Bioenergetics - Reich conducted experiments with microscopic life forms, claiming to observe bions—tiny, pulsating energy vesicles that he believed were precursors to living cells. - He theorized that these bions could accumulate orgone energy and contribute to life’s formation.
# Emotional and Psychological Aspects - Reich connected orgone energy to human psychology, proposing that repressed emotions and trauma block the free flow of orgone energy in the body, leading to physical and psychological disorders. - His character analysis and body-oriented therapy aimed to release these blockages, a precursor to modern somatic therapies.
# DOR (Deadly Orgone Radiation) - Reich claimed that orgone energy could become stagnant and toxic, leading to disease and environmental disturbances. - He called this negative energy DOR (Deadly Orgone Radiation) and sought ways to counteract it.
# Cloudbusting and Weather Control - Reich developed cloudbusters, devices intended to manipulate atmospheric orgone energy and influence weather patterns, particularly rain production. - He believed this could counteract droughts and environmental pollution. - His cloudbuster experiments remain controversial, with some alternative researchers suggesting they had effects.

===== - Wilhelm Reich’s ideas were considered pseudoscientific by the mainstream scientific community. =====
* In the 1950s, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) declared orgone accumulators a health fraud and ordered the destruction of Reich’s books and devices.
* He was imprisoned for violating an injunction against distributing orgone devices and died in prison in 1957.
* Despite suppression, orgonomy continues to be explored in alternative medicine, psychology, and experimental physics.

===== - Some researchers and alternative scientists continue to explore orgone energy, bioenergetics, and the connection between energy fields and consciousness. =====
* Orgone-based technologies (e.g., orgonite, energy harmonizers) are widely used in the alternative healing community.
* Reich’s concepts influenced later work in holistic medicine, energy healing, and scalar energy research.
