Mission
HESA Institute’s mission is to improve nutrition, health and wellness through scientific research on the human energy system, defined as the energetic and informational processes that sustain and support life. HESA’s research focuses on gaining an improved understanding of how energetic and informational concepts interact within the body, with an aim towards developing new healing therapies, foods with “energetically” enhanced nutrition, and heightened cognitive capacities.

HESA Institute Vision
Our vision is a world where health, wellness and longevity are maintained not only through optimal nutrition, exercise, and medical care, but through exposure to and consumption of energetic and "coherent" forms of nutrition.

Historically, such energies were described in spiritual terms, and considered either divine or demonic, depending on culture and context. Today such energies are known principally through Eastern concepts such as chi, prana, and kundalini, and associated with bodily effects described variously as chakras, auras, shaktipat, or meridians. In the future, we envision that these energetic states and processes will be understood in Western scientific terms and refined into reliable tools and technologies.

Funding

HESA Institute is a research and development company, funded through long-term venture capital investments, and by products, licenses and intellectual property developed by the Institute.
